We returns to the world of dead animals in Tales from the Shop Floor and the retu...rn of CSI: CheapShow Charity Shop Crime Scene: Dead Pet Edition... which will definitely be a spin off one day.

I've been told to start recording Everybody by Eli, so I am.
Good.
Can I just start by saying, you mentioned just a minute ago that Cheap Show's not for everyone.
Yes.
I think I found someone who is that part of the everyone, or the no one.
The no one, oh God, you're hurting my brain already.
Yeah, good.
Part of the everyone.
Shut up.
Who it's not for.
Part of the everyone who it's not for.
Someone took the effort to go onto iTunes. And they're part of the everyone that it's not for Part of the everyone Who it's not for Someone took the effort
To go onto iTunes
And they're part of the everyone
That it's not for
Yeah
Right
And voiced their opinion
And I think
As for all the balance in the world
We must report
Fair and balanced news
Hit me with it
I can hack it
I'm a grown up
One star
That's where we start with
One star
We've been there before Paul
Haven't we
Read the other reviews
And oh
Dull and unfunny And just rotten Play this at a party We've been there before, Paul, haven't we? Read the other reviews. And oh.
Dull and unfunny and just rotten.
Play this at a party when you want people to leave.
It will work.
Oh, and saying swear words over again don't make comedy.

Does it not?
No.
They told us, Paul.
Well, I just thought for balance it was worth, you know, commenting on.
That's quite a depressing way to start the show, isn't it?
Yeah.
Do the intro.
Okay, here we are, ladies and gentlemen.
It's Eli Silverman and Paul Gannon.
It's another episode of Cheap Show from the House of Pickles.
Here we go!
I hate you
and your fucking noodle posse.
People love noodles,
right? It's a fact
of Cheap Show you're going to have to fucking reset.
Noodle time!
Tales from the Darks, for a while.
Alright, how's the big guy?
The price of the site?
This is for guaranteed.
Hello.
Eli Silver.
Welcome to Cheap Show.
They're not going on nuzzle.
And we're back in the room, everybody.
Acceptable.
Acceptable.
Oh, acceptable.
Right.
Life may change us, but you'll never change us.
We ain't never going to be acceptable.
Acceptable.
Respectable was the tune, Mel and Kim.
Yeah, great tune.
Fucking love Mel and Kim.
Was it an urban legend that Mel was a glamour model?
I don't know. Never heard it. This is the first I'm hearing that one of a glamour model. I don't know.
Never heard it.
This is the first I'm hearing that one of them got their tits out.
It was one of those things I heard various people tell me over the years,
whenever that song is mentioned.
Like who?
They had other hit records, but...
Yeah, they did.
Can you remember any?
Showing out.
That is...
Oh, yeah, that's Sharon.
Only takes a moment to feel all right.
That's good.
I like that. Yeah, see? They were part of the stock Egan and Walkman thing, weren't they? That is... Oh, yeah, that's Sharon. Only takes a moment to feel all right. That's good.
I like that. Yeah, see?
They were part of the stock Egan and Walkman thing, weren't they?
One of the most successful acts, I'd say, on their roster.
Yeah, before they lost Kylie to artistic expression.
She was like, I ain't going to sing no more of your candy floss bullshit pop.
I'm going to go out there and sing Abide With Me.
No, Abide By Me.
Abide...
What's that one where she's...
It's all slow.
Wild Roses
no
I like that one though as well
that was her real
sort of I'm cool
was it
moment
yeah
I guess it worked
she was very smart
she must have been
a very good manager
if she didn't think of it herself
do you like Kylie
not really
I don't think she
no
well that's the latest
Kylie talk
done and dusted on Cheap Show
she was in the studio
the other day wasn't she
what House of Pickles
yeah Cardi was in it
I don't care for you much stop grinding your arse love you're grinding it into me She was in the studio the other day, wasn't she? What, House of Pickles? Yeah, Cardi was in it.
I don't care for you much.
Stop grinding your arse, love.
You're grinding it into me plate of pickles.
She's got no respect.
No respect.
She's nudging chutney all over the shop.
That's the latest album, I believe.
Nudging chutney.
Oh, dear.
Oh, what larks we have on Cheap Show. So what? I mean, it's looking a bit bare, the actual line-up of this Cheap Show, dear. Oh, what larks we have on Cheap Show.
So what?
I mean, it's looking a bit bare, the actual lineup of this Cheap Show, Paul. No, we're doing things a bit...
This is al fresco.
It's not.
It is.
We're doing an intro.
That's what we're doing now.
Okay.
And then next, you've got a Tales from the Shop floor.
We've had quite a few in, so we're just going to randomly grab an email.
Okay.
If we don't read yours out, it's not because we don't like it.
It's probably just because I've not read it yet or I've lost it.
He hasn't read any of them.
Let's be honest, Paul.
I scan some.
You're going to edit as we do it.
It's the way we work here.
We'll read it.
If it's got legs, we'll keep going.
And if it hasn't got legs.
We'll stop.
Well, there you go.
There.
Then we've got cheap eats.
I've got a selection of snacks today.
What's wrong?
What do you mean, what's wrong?
I don't know.
Your face looks like literally petrified
With fear
I just waited for you
To stop speaking
So that's when I start speaking
It's like
I concentrate
But why do you look so frightened?
I don't know
Seriously
Genuine terror in your face
I don't know
Anyway
We're doing that
And then
We're going to end
On a list of
History's most famous misers
So I thought we'd go a little run down of
people from the past who were tight fisted
and of the penny pinching
variety
so that's going to be Cheap Show today
should be a lovely one
how are you?
oh thank you for selling out two shows by the way
we've sold out both of the shows on the 14th of August
that is very nice
it's going to be two good shows
or one really good show
and one slightly less good
yes
with lower energy
I don't know
we might just lose our shit
I might have a Red Bull
in the half time
I'll buy you some of that
ready to go
black rat energy drink
or whatever it is you drink
what black rat
isn't there like one you get
with a rat on the front
have I imagined that
totally imagined it
yes
it was a dream you had
oh
what was on the back nothing picture of your mum putting a cucumber into another what Have I imagined that? Totally imagined it, yes. It was a dream you had. Oh.
What was on the back?
Nothing. The picture of your mum putting a cucumber into an oven.
What?
What does that even fucking mean?
Well, it's dream logic.
It doesn't mean anything.
It's dream logic.
That's the point.
Why would I dream of my mum putting a cucumber into an oven?
No, you dreamt that I was drinking a can of made-up energy drink,
totally from your imagination, called Black Rat.
Although I like that. That's good. It's very metal. Yeah. I was drinking a can of made-up energy drink, totally from your imagination, called Black Rat.
Although I like that.
That's good.
It's very metal.
Black Rat energy drink.
Yeah.
And then I said, humorously,
is there a picture of your mum on the back of the can in the dream of her putting a cucumber into another?
No.
Just, you know, ingredients.
I would like to see a middle-aged lady, that wouldn't have to be your mum, putting a cucumber into an oven. No, just, you know, ingredients. I would like to see a middle-aged lady,
that wouldn't have to be your mum,
putting a cucumber into an oven.
This could be a new kink for you.
Yeah.
Well, good.
Fully clothed.
Yeah.
No smut.
No smutty business.
No dirty business.
Just a very particular type of photograph.
Who cooks cucumbers?
No one.
No one.
Have you ever had a cucumber in a cooked dish?
It's like a fucking...
I don't know.
It's a fucking travesty.
And while I'm on...
Here we go.
While I'm on...
Yeah.
While you're on.
Good.
On the subject of
vegetable controversies...
Yes.
You know, I've defended
iceberg lettuce in the past
because everyone's poo-pooed it.
Yeah.
I've stood up for it.
You thought it was the underdog.
Yeah.
Because it's a fucking fantastic thing. Yeah. I've stood up for it. You thought it was the underdog. Yeah. Because it's a fucking fantastic thing.
Yeah.
I've got a new champion.
Oh, here we go.
A new vegetable I'm championing.
Very exciting times on Cheap Show.
Celery.
What are your thoughts on celery?
Yeah, see?
Look, I can tell you
you want to say you hate it,
don't you?
I don't hate it.
You want to say you hate it
because you want to conform
to what everyone else,
you know,
drums into you
from an early age.
I've not said anything. You've programmed, programmed with celery because you want to conform to what everyone else, you know, drums into you from an early age.
I've not said anything.
You've programmed, programmed with celery and animosity.
And I'm sick of it, Paul.
And it's not just you.
And I'm focusing my eye on you. Yeah, I'm trying not to look at you.
It's not just you.
Celery needs to come back up in everyone's estimation
because it's not only is it delicious.
It's not.
It is a flavor in its
own yeah it has a whole whole domain of flavor that is only celery that's what i'm going to say
for now good well if you've got any hard and fast opinions on celery why don't you go to our reddit
page and start a celery page well is that your response yeah that's your token i'm gonna throw
out to the audience make a celery page is everything i bring up you just go go make a fucking reddit page yeah no i want change i want
you to be the change i want to see joking make celery great again everybody make celery great
parentheses and iceberg lettuce yes yes those are the two but there may be other i've never seen you
this passionate about anything like this before.
I'm sick of people saying celery shit.
That's all it is.
I forgot to press record again.
Right, come on.
I'm sorry.
Let's do that story.
Shall I do it?
You don't have the professionalism to do this.
I'm very sorry.
We were recording Tales from the Shop for...
No one wants to know, Paul. No one wants to know about this. And I fucked it. You fucked up. I'm very sorry we were recording Tales from the Shop no one wants to know Paul
no one wants to know
about this
you fucked up
I'm sweating
give me the story
I'll read it
I'm really sorry
from where
the whole thing about
when I got Keith
out of the mug
yeah
you got Keith out
and I nearly vomited again
no don't do it again
I'm going to do it again
don't do it again
well let's imagine
imagine if you will
the problem was
imagining it
is what set me off.
So I'm trying not to think of you.
Opening Keith's jaw and then going, because it smells funky.
Okay.
The upshot of all of this, Paul, is we have our first dead pet story.
No, we've had our third.
This is our third.
Remember the first one was the mystery bag and they just put it straight in the bin.
And then the second story was the girl who found a dead dragonfly or something and kept it in a glasses box.
Oh, yeah.
It wasn't a pet, really, but it was like, no one keeps a pet dragonfly.
No, she sprayed it with disinfectant every day to keep it moist,
but then she had to throw it out when the wings and the eyes fell off.
Why did she keep it moist?
Why can't I remember things in my own life?
Yes, but it was like two weeks ago.
All right.
So anyway, we have another, and I'd like you to read it this time.
Sponsored by Keith.
Sponsored by, yeah, Keith.
Another Pet Corp story sponsored by Keith.
Thank you.
So I'll let you read this one out.
Because we could just read out new ones, but we like this story.
This is a good one.
So here we go.
Get comfy, everyone.
This is from Shana.
I'm going to pretend to react surprised at certain points throughout the story, okay?
Hello, Paul and Eli.
Hello. So the other
day Eli mentioned wanting a Pet Corp story.
I have one. Here it is. Now this
is a story I was told on my first
ever day volunteering at a local charity
shop. Are you listening to a hip-hop beat in your head
as you read that out? Because I had a certain rhythm.
I was listening to a body that was told. It sounded like the beginning
of the fucking... Now this is the story
all about how my life
got flipped and upside down. Yeah, because it actually is that lyric. Now this is a story is how that starts. Now this is the story all about how my life got flipped and upside down
Yeah
and I can take a minute
to sit right there
Now this is a story
is how that starts
Now this is a story
all about how
Now this Paul
is a story
all about how
my life got flipped
and upside down
What about Shana?
So her first day ever
at a local charity shop
so picture the scene
I am
A shy 16 year old girl
Brackets me
You
Me Shana You. Shana.
You're Shana? You wrote this?
For the purpose of this, I'm taking the role
of the narrator. The narrator.
Shana. Then lighten your voice a little bit.
Me. Yeah, good. Shana.
I'm getting a bit...
No, you're not. You mustn't.
I'll hit you with a spoon. Really hard.
Oh, God. I'll bruise your
bellend.
What else will you do? Don't do the I'm wanking thing. I'll hit it with a spoon. Really hard. Oh, God. I'll bruise your bellend. Yeah?
What else will you do?
Paul, don't do the I'm wanking thing.
Please.
One star.
One star.
One star.
One star review.
It's not just all swearing.
So she's starting her first day volunteering.
She just wants to get the awkward getting to know you,
getting to know co-workers out of the way.
Yeah, okay.
We've all been there, Paul.
You know, you start, you're not comfortable with people.
You don't know whether you can fart.
Yeah.
Oh, Christ, that stinks.
When can you do the dad gags?
Oh.
Or like, you know, just take it out.
Whip it out.
Whap it on your sandwich.
Yeah.
Which I do.
Yeah.
But you've got to get to know them quite well.
Just go, whap.
There you go, love.
What do you like?
You like that? Whap. I see if go, whap! There you go, love. What do you like of that? You like that?
Whap!
I see if I could whap that thing onto anything.
Christ.
Right.
Where's she doing?
Saddest moment of Cheap Show was right there.
Right.
Oh, such honesty.
Such honesty.
Right, shut up. she just wants to get
all the awkward bits
out of the way
so
everything's going great
fab small talk
with the store supervisor
oh
then I made a mistake
oh
I ask her what the worst
donation she'd ever
come across was
her face drops
oh god
and she tells me
about the time
she worked at the depot
so this is a flashback
within a flashback now
it's not
it's got a lot of
it's inception-y's got a lot of...
It's inception-y.
It has a lot of narrative nesting structures, is what the term is.
It's a narrative nested within a greater narrative.
I like it.
So, you know, those charity bags.
You know those charity bags, Paul?
Yeah.
You get through the letterbox.
You know those charity bags you get through the letterbox?
They post them through and they say, can you fill out this with all your clothes and leave it outside?
I certainly remember those.
And I'm doing Pussy now.
All right.
Good game.
Good territory.
I love it.
Barry Chuckle's dead.
She worked at the depot
that sorted those out.
Okay, so there's a depot,
all the bags come in.
They all come back in.
And they say,
socks over there,
toys over there,
jumpers over there,
electronics in that box.
And incinerator for the poo-poo pants.
Yeah, for the poo-poo pants.
Oh, talking of poo,
I saw genuine white dog shit today.
Oi, oi!
It's a moment in history.
It's right there on the street.
I'm like, what the fuck is going on?
Brexit's taking us further to 70s.
That's what it is.
It's the 70s room again.
It's the Mandela effect.
Mandela effect. Mandela effect. Yeah, you what it is it's the 70s Mandela effect Mandela effect
Mandela effect
yeah you get
you never get that right
you sometimes say
Mandela effect
I think Mandela effect
is a better word for it
yeah but it's not
it's Mandela
and it's not a good
phrase to use
because it's not
correct
it's a shit thing
the whole idea
is ridiculous
the whole idea
is like
I can't remember
something so
the whole universe
split
I think you'll remember
we covered the very
same topic
yes we did cover it in an early episode alright so so shana says if the story within the story there
we go is this depot where this lady she was work knew was talking to was working yeah okay good
she told me how one summer they were sorting out the bags from the latest drop-off and she picks
up this super heavy bag it smells a little bit but she's used to smelly bags where people would
put food cartons in the bag and
stuff thinking it's funny.
I'll put some whiskers in. Some cunt's gonna have
to deal with this putrescence. Oh, hilarious.
I don't understand those pranks
where you're pranking someone, but you will never
actually see them.
Yeah, but you know. You'll never see
someone disgustingly discover it.
Maybe that's part of the charm of it. They kind of feel
like the minute they send it, they're satisfied because it's like yeah fucking good i just don't understand
that there's no very nice people they're not just like some cunts gonna have to deal with this yeah
ha ha they've ruined us some other person's day they'll never meet weird don't do that don't do
that you know don't do that don't do that don't do that don't do that do not do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. Don't do that. Do not do that.
That do not do.
Right.
So anyway, she opens this bag, and on top is a manky duvet cover.
All right, put that over there.
She throws it into the rags box.
Right.
And she digs around the bag and touches something furry.
Oh.
She freaks out, and then a colleague helps her tip the bag upside down.
And guess what's wedged between two piles of clothes and a teddy?
Hit me with it.
A dead dog.
A dead dog, ladies and gentlemen.
She literally just touched a dead dog.
A dead dog.
That was covered in maggots.
Great.
Imagine if you poked it too hard and it popped
and you think it went through into the dog.
Yeah, it would be gaseous cavity.
And then this air comes out.
And you go and then like
there's just this putrefaction
squeezing through the wound
not good
not good
maggots go
very good
very good
it's like that scene
in Alan Bastard
you know where he comes back
from the dead
and like you see his corpse
like there's a nightmare sequence
and you see him
rising from the grave
and he spits out
all these maggots
I remember seeing that on TV when I was a kid
and it disturbed the fuck out of me.
I never saw that episode, I don't think.
Yeah, I think they kill him off at the end of one series
and they brought him back from the dead for the next series.
There's like three series of that, wasn't there?
There's quite a few, actually,
because towards the end of the run
he goes into the Labour Party
and tries to play it from the inside.
Yeah, it was quite a popular show, long-running, wasn't it?
I liked it.
It's kind of like His Blackadder in many respects,
but nastier.
Much nastier.
Yeah, maggots
So they never knew where the dog came from, Paul
No
Or how it died
No
Hopefully it hadn't
This is what I was going to say
Yeah
You could do a bit of forensic there
Yeah
And you could maybe look at sort of the wounds on the dog
Yeah
And find out if it
So this is CSI Cheap Show Pet Corps Division.
Charity Pet Corps.
Charity Pet Corps CSI Cheap Show Edition.
Charity Pet Shop Discovery in a Depot.
We got a crime here.
We got a dead dog.
Show me the bag.
Show me the bag, sister.
Here's the bag, Lieutenant.
No, you say yo.
You say, oh, we're not going to like it, Sergeant.
Say that.
You're not going to...
It's all coming again.
All right, okay. Show me the bag, sister. You're not going to like it, Sergeant. Say that. You're not gonna like it. It's all coming again. All right, okay.
Show me the bag, sister.
You're not gonna like it, Lieutenant.
Listen, sister.
I've seen so many dead dogs in bags.
Give it a charity as a laugh.
You wouldn't know.
There's nothing that can shock me.
Show me it.
Here you go, but I'll tell you on my 40 years on the force.
I ain't seen nothing like this before.
So just you hold your breakfast in there,
Lieutenant.
I don't want to be
cleaning up two crime scenes today.
I told you.
Good.
That's good.
Scene and scene.
Spin-off.
There's a spin-off there,
I think.
All right.
Do we have another
Tales from the Shop floor?
I think we can squeeze
a little one in.
That was quite sophisticated
in terms of its
narrative structure.
There.
It's nice, isn't it, though, isn't it?
Yeah.
And she was doing that weird thing
where, imagine a girl,
she's done this,
what's that, like,
third person...
It's one of those weird tenses
that she was doing there as well.
So there was quite a lot
of sophistication in the writing.
So there you go.
Congratulations.
Five out of five.
Right, this one is from Patrick
and he says, paul but not
eli parentheses i'm joking i know eli's felt left out on previous shop floor shenanigans okay thank
you close parentheses i've had numerous jobs that involve fecal matter in all its forms okay he got
straight in there he's putting his sign out he's putting up his stall has he worked in a sewer
i used to work as a cleaner yeah to make extra money when i was a student and once such incident in there. Straight in there. He's putting his sign out. He's putting up his stall. Has he worked in a sewer?
I used to work as a cleaner to make extra money
when I was a student.
And one such incident
happened when the U-bend
was not correctly connected
to a device
that would mince up shit
prior to flushing it.
Oh my word.
I've never heard
of one of these devices.
A device that minces up shit?
No, I think the U-bend
is kind of
helps break it up.
It has sort of a filter
thing in there.
No, it just gives it, mashes it. No, that's U-bend to kind, helps break it open. It has sort of a filter thing in there. No, it just...
It mashes it.
No, that U-bend
is there to keep the water...
Mashes the bangers
and the bangers and mash.
I don't think
that's what he means, Paul.
I think there's an actual...
He's a fucking professional, mate.
Don't you think
he'd know what he's talking about?
Well, I don't think you know
what he's talking about.
You call him Patrick
a fucking liar?
No, I don't know...
Self-standby, Patrick.
Read this fucking...
Listen.
Read the fucking sentence again.
One such incident
happened when the U-bend was not correctly connected to a device that would mince up shit.
Thank you.
I apologise.
Continue with the story.
I'm sorry.
Point made.
Just continue with the story.
These devices were often used in old buildings where the pipes were ancient and not up to the task of full, flushy, nuggety offerings.
Wow.
Flushy, nuggety offerings.
Wow.
After using the toilet and flushing it,
I had to clean up the deluge of my own feculence that incidentally looked like someone had split
a rather foul cottage pie on the floor.
And the mint shit resembled the meat and gravy
and the toilet paper of the mashed potatoes.
Well, one star podcast.
Prior to that job, I worked as a gardener.
A petrol strimmer's cutting service
rotated several thousand revs per minute. I presume this is going to be important. A strimmer? Is that the word he's using. A petrol strimmer's cutting service rotates at several thousand revs per minute.
I presume this is going to be important.
A strimmer, is that the word he's using?
A petrol strimmer, he says.
Yeah.
Has a cutting interface.
A petrol-driven strimmer.
It's one of those strimmers, but it's like a bad boy strimmer with a proper engine.
I think you may see where this is going.
It's got a little exhaust.
You don't see those that much these days.
No.
It's got like a proper petrol strimmer.
That would strim your face right off.
Yeah, it would.
Burn it right off. Take it right off your face. A strimmer's just like strim your face right off. Yeah, it would. Burn it right off.
Take it right off your face.
A strimmer's just like a piece of string.
Yeah.
But hard string.
It's like a nylon wire, isn't it?
Nylon wire.
Yeah.
Have you seen a strimmer death in a movie?
Yeah, I probably must have.
I don't think you have.
I want to say brain death.
No, that was a lawnmower with a brain.
It wasn't a strimmer.
Getting technical.
Please, if you do know a horror film where someone has had their face
or any body implement taken off by a strimmer, we'd like to know.
Thank you.
And you can continue with the story.
Anyway, he's talking about his revving, a couple of thousand revs.
I think you see where this is going.
Long grass conceals a lot of things.
Oh, no, I can see where it's going.
And it was common occurrence to slice through a particular ripe dog egg health and safety concerns dictated that we had to wear full face visors inexplicably
the poosh articles often found their way around this at this time i had a beard mustache and
shoulder length hair wow i could spend upwards of eight hours covered in shit with it clinging to
my facial hair with a clear plastic visor on my head that now acted like a greenhouse.
Oh my God.
It's cooking his beard with it.
He's having a shitty beard.
He's got old fucking dingleberries in his fucking beard cooking in the sun.
Little dangles.
And jingling.
Little moustache danglies.
Yes.
It's odd to be able to prefer being sprayed with one type of shit over another,
but cat shit always smelt worse than anything dropped from a winking dog's eye.
He's very colourful with his language.
Well, Paul, it's making me think we might, you know,
after the League of Snacks and Crisps is over,
League of...
League of Turds.
No, we're not doing League of...
What is the most feculent?
We are not doing League of Turds.
I know.
We're not.
I'm just going to say that now.
It's fine.
If you want to have ideas,
yeah.
In about five years' time,
we're going to be
smelling each other's shit.
That's awful.
One star.
Oh, dear.
It's going to happen.
So he preferred...
Doggy eggs over catty eggs.
Yeah.
I mean, come on.
I finished... Cats have a real... Cats eggs. Yeah. I mean, come on.
I finished... Cats have a real...
Cats is a dense.
It's like the dark matter of the poo world, isn't it?
It's like...
You only need a very small amount to go a long way.
Very bitter.
It's like a neutron star of shit.
Yeah.
After I finished university and achieved a good grade in engineering,
I thought my days of having jobs right to shit were over.
I was wrong.
It took me two years to find any kind of employment,
and I started work in a home for people with severe mental and physical disabilities.
Oh, you had to end with this one, didn't you?
We were doing so well.
My first job was to empty a large yellow clinical waste bin
that the people who usually emptied them refused to take out
because it also contained litter.
It was the middle of summer.
Eight years later afterwards, I graduated and now work
in a shop. Thank you for all your work.
Clankerman was brilliant, by the way, and I think
it would really stretch to a full movie. It won't.
You guys make bars.
It's not for you to decide that, Paul.
I decide that.
And my collaborators.
Not you. You don't decide it.
I enjoy Clankerman for what
it was. Brief.
Good. Well,
that's the end of the Tales from the Shop floor.
And a stonking Tales from the Shop floor
it was too. Certainly. Would like
any pets,
dead pets in charity shop
stories? Yeah, you've heard one. You've heard
them all really at this point. Bag.
I'd like to see a variation. Smelly bag. Maggots.
Dead animal. What about if someone got a variation. Smelly bag. Maggots. Dead animal.
What about if someone got a chimera?
What, like a kind of mermaid or something?
Like something that was obviously a beagle with a horn stuck in its head or something.
Oh, yeah.
Or half a monkey.
Like the old freak show things.
Yeah.
Well, if you do find a freak show item, I'd like to hear about that.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Anything else?
No.
Erotica?
Tales from the Knocking Shop? Would you like that?
No, I wouldn't.
How low should this podcast go? How low?
Not that low. How low can it go?
Well, look, I think sex shops are covered by Tales from the Shop floor.
Oh, that's an interesting caveat.
Just to say, ladies and gentlemen, look forward to the League of Feculence.
It's not happening. Okay. It's not happening.
Okay, it's not happening.
It's time for...
Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep.
A-hee-hee.
Oh, the cheap eats.
Excellent.
Excellent.
Excellent.
We've only taken 100 episodes before we get any sort of kind of, you know.
Well, it's cohesing.
Cohesing.
It's cohesing.
It's cohesing all over my face, neck, and chest.
Now, it's cheap eats time.
I've got a few items.
Have you?
They're hiding, so don't look too closely.
They're over there in the sauce truffle.
Well, I look forward to seeing them.
They're riding a wave of ketchup sachets.
But let's not go into any more dilly-dally anymore.
So?
What have you got in your nice new Ghostbusters-themed bag there?
I've got this from Mr. Stuart Ashen's.
It was a Loot Crate exclusive.
It's a wash bag with a pro on pack.
Is it a wash bag?
It's like a swimming bag.
It's kind of a swimming bag.
A backpacky thing
it's nice
I can put knick knacks
and nip knobs in it
and what does it have
portrayed on it
in case you didn't speak
the proton pack
the proton pack
from Ghostbusters
was it the same one
in all three films
no it's slightly different
no the third film
has a completely different
design for the proton pack
thank you
but the first two
have similar designs
they're not quite the same
there are minor differences
between the two what do you think of the 2016 version I similar designs. They're not quite the same. There are minor differences between the two.
What do you think
of the 2016 version
of the Proton?
I want one.
I generally do.
They're good.
A nice little circle
of light in the middle.
I love it.
I love it.
Okay.
Let's talk Ghostbusters.
No, let's not.
I'm sorry.
In 1984,
there was a film
by that adored
called Ghostbusters,
Ghostbusters,
Ghostbusters.
It stars Peter Venkman
and it stars...
He's a rapist
Don't ruin it
He sort of is
Don't ruin it
Ruin it
Spoiler alert
He does carry
Date rate drunks
In a bag
In his boot
And he refuses
To leave a girl's apartment
When she asks him to leave
Isn't it in the boot
Of his car then
No
It's just implied
It's in his bag
Maybe he had his bag
With him
But he came in a taxi
So I don't know
Maybe he got the taxi driver
To bring it over
Not good
It's not good
So bring out
The cheap eats From the Ghostbusters theme bag.
Well, they're all from B&M and they were all reduced.
So they're not going to be expensive.
What is this B&M?
Is this an outside London sort of thing?
I don't know.
Mine's in Cambridge, but I'm pretty sure there's one in London.
I don't know.
But it's kind of like a home bargain store.
It's like you can get detergent and food and bits for your house and home and kitchenware.
It's a bit of everything.
And it's usually a little bit cheaper than anywhere else. It wasn't Wilkinson's likeware. It's a bit of everything and it's usually a little bit
cheaper than anywhere else.
It wasn't Wilkinson's like that.
It's a bit like a Wilco's actually.
A little bit like a Wilco's.
Okay.
Anyway,
I bought three things from there.
I'm going to start with
something that we did
in a previous episode.
So you brought in the,
was it Toffee Apple Jammy Dodgers?
The limited edition
Toffee Apple Jammy Dodgers.
We thought,
meh,
not really doing it.
Not at all,
I have to say.
So no,
we didn't like
them
I did not like the
Toffee Apple
however a few people
on Twitter and on
Reddit pointed me in
the direction of these
so I grabbed them
say what you see
Mr Silverman
these are Jammie
Dodgers but they're
another limited edition
a different one
different
Lemon Twist
Lemon Twist
now that's exciting
you don't look excited
but okay
it's
I think they're going
to be nicer
than the Toffee Apple ones they're going to be nicer than the toffee apple ones.
They're going to have a lemony, curdy kind of flavour, do you think?
The toffee apple ones, it was the jam that was the problem.
It didn't have enough identity.
It was weak, wasn't it?
It was weak.
It was more caramelly.
And because it was so weak, it showed up the deficiency of the very nasty, stodgy biscuit.
Which isn't good on these.
No, so far.
That's why they cost about 3p a pack.
Yeah, because these were, I think, 30, 35p.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
Think of how much sugar you could get for 35p.
There you go.
Think how fat you could get.
Well, Paulie ain't getting no slimmer, yo.
No, Paulie certainly ain't, yo.
So I'm opening these.
What's the whiff?
It's very hard to say.
Not much coming.
But the little window where you can spy upon the jam is yellow.
So that's a good sign.
That's a positive sign.
There's one for you, Paul.
Thank you, sir.
You've seen one, Jammy Dodge.
You've seen them all.
This one just has a yellow jam centre.
That's it.
It has that splat design.
I quite like the splat design.
I like the splat design.
Oh, he's going straight in.
He's made a bit of a mess,
but I'm going to now go eat it as well.
Well, Paul,
quite nice.
Nicer than the apple one.
Yeah.
No, they're definitely nicer than the apple one.
I just can't taste it.
It's not very lemony.
No.
Again, it's not very strong.
There is, I can taste it.
It's a hint, though.
Yeah.
I mean, it could be any flavour and I would still think it was jam.
Yeah, it's kind of the generic jammy flavour.
I kind of feel like if you put these and jam in a bowl,
and I was just mindlessly eating out of them without looking,
and I grabbed the yellow one after two reds,
I'd be like, not really thinking much about it.
No.
I can tell it's lemon now.
There is lemon.
I shouldn't have eaten that last bit,
because now my mouth's full of jammy dodger.
It is, it's all right.
What are we saying?
Out of five for this, are we?
That's three and a half.
I'd give it a three.
It's pleasant enough.
I'll meet you at three, then.
I like it as a...
With a cup of tea.
It'd be great.
It'd be fine, wouldn't it?
If there was no Jammy Dodgers left,
and I saw those,
and I was like,
oh, I'll get them then.
Yeah, I would.
Not the toffee ones.
I wouldn't get the toffee ones.
Don't like their caramelly.
It needs some kind of fruit, doesn't it?
It needs a fruity...
Something with a tang.
And like you say, the toffee apple just had a sort of toffee.
Yeah.
The toffee.
Weak caramelly kind of thing.
No.
Apple is such a neutral flavour in the fruit world, which is why you often see...
Like sour apple.
No, you often see like...
It will say...
It will have some kind of exotic juice.
Yeah.
Juice drink. It will say, oh will have some kind of exotic juice. Yeah. Juice drink.
It will say, oh, passion fruit juice drink or something.
And you'll see in the first ingredient, like a strawberry drink.
Yeah.
The first ingredient will be apple juice or concentrated apple juice.
Because they just use it as a sort of.
A base.
A background.
It's sweet.
Like a stock.
Yes.
Interesting.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah, I do know what you mean.
They do do that.
You see, it's in lots of things.
And so I think it's very hard for Apple to have any sort of
an identity of its own in these kind of products.
Now, do you want to stay on sweet or move to savoury?
I'll go savoury now.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Knowing that you're going to end on sweet.
Yeah, I can go both.
You can go both ways.
I can do it both ways, mate.
I sometimes have like a pickled onion and an ice lolly at the same time.
You fucking monster.
That's disgusting.
It's really nice.
It's not. Like an orange ice lolly and the same time. Fucking monster! That's disgusting! It's really nice. It's not!
Like an orange ice lolly and a big pickled onion.
Right, so these are
from the snack department.
From the snack department?
Yeah, with all the crisps and peanuts.
That was snacks. The section,
the savoury snacks section. And these were
reduced from, I think,
maybe like 80p down to
30, 35. Again, I think these were about 30, 35p.
Very good value.
Here we go.
What do you see?
Oh, yeah.
These are made by a company
called The Real Pork Crackling Co.
Like, the Ghostbusters was The Real Ghostbusters.
These are The Real Pork Crackling Co.
So you know that it's different from the movie version.
These are golden pork crunch.
Nice.
A light and crispy texture.
And they were established in 1974.
Wow.
Quite a funky year.
So they're like puffed.
Yes.
Now, there's a difference.
See, these are very popular the world over.
But especially, I think they eat them in Latin America.
Oh, okay.
And Central and Latin America.
Yeah, yeah.
They have chicken, they call something.
Oh, I do not mean.
They heat them all over the place.
Yes.
But I think the tradition in this country has been the pork scratching,
which is a different thing.
Which is more brittle, hard, crisp.
Well, it has more of the actual rind going deeper into the pig's body on.
So it has this sort of big glob.
Grizzly.
It's more grizzly.
This is just the very top, which is puffs up all light and airy.
Got a little bit Ainsley Harriet
when you did that
and I saw one of those
programs that tells you
how they make
industrial food
this is very strange
they make this into
pellets
of pig skin
and then they go
all for like
hot air thing
and it goes
woo
man the height
just scares you
and these
what's the sniff
you know what
you did taste
those chilli and lime
pork rinds
those strips
those were good
I think these are
similar to that
have a sniff
oh right
just a bit
oh it's got that
you smell it
tell me that's not disgusting
you wouldn't want to
sniff that before
oh no
it's a little bit off
it's got like a
abattoir
a bit of death to it
it smells like someone's hosing down an abattoir. A bit of death to it. It smells like someone's
hosing down an abattoir.
You can taste the death
in every bite.
I'm going to taste them.
Oh, they're very puff.
They're like big, thick quavers.
Yeah.
You've had these before,
haven't you?
Not this brand.
I've had something similar,
but not recently.
They're fine.
Yeah, they're fine. They're salty, but not recently. They're fine. Yeah, they're fine.
They're salty, but not like...
Bacon's not too strong.
It's nice.
Is it meant to be bacon flavour?
It's just golden.
They're just meant to be neutral flavour.
Okay.
The problem I have with these...
Okay.
...is you chew them all up...
Okay.
...and it goes into this sort of fine...
Dust.
...sort of... Yeah. And then goes into this sort of fine... Dust. Sort of, yeah.
And then that, I have problems swallowing that.
That all kind of sort of gets stuck.
And it's a bit disturbing.
It's just sort of...
It's got a bit of a weird aftertaste.
I don't like the way it goes down to this sort of fine paste
that sort of then drips down the back of my throat.
Slides down.
And it sort of feels like I'm choking sort of almost.
Imagine choking on pork scratchings. It wouldn't be good, mate. Eat it. It feels like I'm choking sort of almost. Imagine choking on pork scratchings.
It wouldn't be good, mate.
Eat it.
It's like I can't swallow it properly.
Do you know what I mean?
It drags on its way down.
Yeah, it drags on its way down.
That's really unpleasant.
So if I have some of these, I'll go,
I've got a brain!
Help me!
Eli Silverman found dead in his room
with a mouth full of pork scratchings
and his knob out.
I think I would prefer actual scratchings.
I think I prefer scratchings to crunch.
I agree.
If you go to a nice pub that sell good,
I don't want to say organic,
but you know when they can buy it in jars
and stuff like that?
That's the good shit.
Sort of, yeah.
But it's costly.
And remember, that's cheap.
That's cheap.
Yeah, what are you going to do?
You're going to do it.
I prefer scratching with a big glob of fat
hanging off it.
And a hair hanging off it.
Dirty pig hair.
Tickle your nose with a dirty pig hair.
I'm going to say two and a half.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Finally, something very sweet to go back to.
These again, B&M.
These were, again, 40p, I think.
Again, not too much.
I got all of these from the real quid.
What do you see, Mr. Silverman?
Six chocolate-filled crepes.
Crepes.
Now, I'm immediately quite dubious.
Why?
To me, a crepe or pancake is a sort of a fresh item.
Yeah, you get it.
Nice and fresh off the kitchen, off your table.
You don't cook crepes on the...
Excuse me.
Dear dirty boy.
You do not cook crepes on a kitchen table, Paul.
No, I meant the...
They have a hot plate.
Hot plate.
Yeah.
I got confused between an oven and a table.
Yeah, I know.
That's why I'm not allowed to cook.
Yeah, typical you.
Typical you.
I've still got...
Yeah, I've still got lumps of it.
The golden crunch. I'm fighting down.
Tell me I'm not alone on this.
Well, you're alone.
What you need is a fucking soda to wash that shit down whilst you're eating.
A lovely fizzy beer.
An ice ale.
I think that's what they're designed for.
Yeah, maybe.
These chocolate-filled crepes are made by a company called Saint-Auber.
Oh, Saint-Auber? Yeah. Biscuit de la Ba made by a company called Saint-Auber. Oh, Saint-Auber.
Yeah.
Biscuit de la Baie de Mont-Michel.
So that's St. Michael's Mount.
St. Michael's Mount.
Which is that city which has a road,
but when the tide comes in,
the road is covered with the sea.
You know, remember?
Oh, no.
It's been in ads and stuff.
I don't know it.
Is it a Renault ad?
Oh, no.
It's off the same.
It's off.
Let's have a look. I want to look at the logo. It's off the coast
of Cornwall. Oh, I don't know
that. There's a magical island off the coast
of Cornwall that you can only drive to in the
site.
What have
we started?
Did you hear that? That is Thunder
Ball. I'm not going to get
wet going out tonight.
Yeah.
Don't fucking cry.
Anyway, cunt.
Right, and so what we have here,
French crepes with a chocolate and hazelnut flavour.
Yes, you fucking said.
Chocolate and hazelnut.
No, I didn't say that.
Nutella knockoff.
So we're not only tasting the...
Made in France.
Yeah.
Oh, no, there is one of those in Cornwall,
but I think they're referring to one in France. Right. There's more than is one of those in Cornwall but I think they're referring to one
in France.
Right.
There's more than
one of these towns.
These magical villages.
I'm handing you one,
Paul.
It's a multi-pack.
Oh yeah,
they come in little
pre-
I mean,
the fucking wastage
on the packaging
on these.
I've never seen
anything like this.
No.
Well done for
picking this up.
Ideal for lunchboxes.
It's a little pre-made.
Yeah.
That's what it says.
Stick it in your
kid's lunchbox. Apple sandwich.
Little chocolate crepe. Have it.
I'm opening it.
And it is
exactly what it says it is, Paul.
It's a little pancake.
Little crepe.
Little crepe with a little bit of chocolate in.
I'm unwrapping it for the science.
It's a square shaped prep
thing. There's a sliver of chocolate in the middle. It's a square shape prep thing.
There's a sliver of chocolate in the middle.
It's totally industrial.
Why are you showing it up to the microphone? It can't fucking see it.
I'm showing it to the microphone.
He's draping it on the mic. I'm going to take a bite.
Take a bite.
Paul, is that enough?
I do not like that.
What do you not like about it?
First of all, the crepe's lost all that kind of fluffiness and freshness,
so it's gone really hard and kind of chewy.
It tastes stale, yeah.
The chocolate centre tastes so overly sugary
with that fake chocolate spread taste.
Yeah.
It's just...
It tastes fake.
Everything about it tastes fake.
Yeah.
And it's not great.
What do you expect for fucking 30p
from 20 of them or whatever?
Yeah, but you at least, you know,
expect more.
Because this is getting on reduction.
You don't want to eat a fucking pancake.
If you own a pancake,
you've got to get someone to make it for you there
or you make it yourself.
You can't have some pancake wrapped in plastic.
No.
Go to a nice good creperie.
What do they call them?
Creperies?
Creperie. Yeah. And have another lovely Creperies? Creperie. Yeah.
And have another lovely one.
Go to gapery and visit a creperie.
And have one for tea. Right.
Just you and me. I'd say one. In our lovely
creperie. Oh, what a lovely poem.
Yeah, well, half.
It wasn't that bad. If I was desperate for food.
To be honest, I wasn't surprised with how
it was. It's a drab item
what was the best
thing then so far
in terms of initial
flavour
the pork crunch
but then you've got
the gag
the horrible
sort of slimy gag
thing
all the clagginess
yeah like being
waterboarded
by a pig
thalma
thalma
shut up
what have you got
for us anyway
now reach over there
Paul there you go
and there's one like that as well
I have
To finish this segment
Of cheap eats
Cheap eats
I've got three items
They're all from Pakistan
And don't worry
None of these are guava squirt bombs
Good because that was
You said apparently
They were meant to taste like that
They were meant to taste like that
That's fucking horrible
It's like eating farts
It was literally like
you break into the centre
and the sulphur cloud.
The eggy clagginess of it
was just powerful.
It was so sulphuric.
Why would anyone want that
as a flavour?
Because you grew up
in a different culture
where it's acceptable to you.
I guess, but fucking hell.
You know,
it's like some people
eat strange stuff.
It's like the Swedes with their star strumming.
Yes.
Which is the fermented fish.
Yeah.
I read a bit about that.
They had to ban it from airlines.
Yeah, because the press would explode.
Can you imagine bringing that shit on an airplane?
Yeah, because people are dickheads.
That's silly, isn't it?
Yeah, silly billies.
And kimchi is notoriously stinky as well.
Who's she?
Who's kimchi?
Is she stinky?
Ho, ho, ho, ho.
That's not funny.
Come on, laugh.
That was just clearly not funny.
Laugh.
Laugh for me.
Okay, so let's start with a chocolate thing, I believe.
These are made by a company called Biscone.
Biscone.
Or Biscone.
Biscone, I don't know.
We'll never know.
Kokomo.
Way down in Kokomo.
Chocolate.
Bermuda, Bahama.
And it's got a little picture of a little boy and a girl.
Tiago, Montego, baby, that's where we go.
I want to make it till the sun goes down.
We'll take it fast and then we'll take it slow.
That's where we're going to go.
Way down of Kokomo
I've got an album coming out this Christmas.
You do not.
Paul Gannon sings The Christmas Blues.
You're gonna be in it.
You're gonna be on Malforgan.
It's ten grand for a day's work.
I'm going to be in it.
Yeah.
I don't like no Christmas.
Insanity is fake. i didn't get domino rally
and that ain't cool what are you trying to tell someone something here no that you want domino
rally no it's a story about when i was a kid i didn't get domino rally ghost train domino rally
and it broke my christmas what the fuck is ghost train domino rally it was domino rally but what's
domino rally domino rally was that set weally, but... What's Domino Rally?
Domino Rally was that set
where you could buy dominoes
and you could knock them
and make them go round a track.
How fucking cool is that?
Yeah, I know.
I never even fucking knew
that existed.
I wanted a Dada car.
What's a Dada car?
Was it like some
surrealist kind of car?
You put it together
and it does loop-de-loops
with the pull-e-back-y cars.
They're a really smart gag then.
Say it again.
He said,
it's a Dada car
and I was like,
what does it move around
so really?
What? That was not good. It was, it's a Dada car, and I was like, what, does it move around so really? What? That was not good.
It was, it was clever. You were shoehorning.
It was clever. You were shoehorning.
Yeah. I'll fucking shoehorn you.
It's shoehorning your week. I'll fucking bend you over
and shoehorn you. How do you like that?
If you knew anything about
the art movements of the early 20th
century, Paul, you'd know that they were totally separate
movements with totally separate...
I know dollarism isn't exactly surrealism, I know.
It isn't exactly. It's not anything
like it. It's completely different.
Fuck you! It's absurdism!
Absurdism again! Totally different
movement! We're all the same
fucking shit, aren't we?
Oh, I've drawn a lobster with fucking
deely boppers on, and it's driving a car to Sweden.
That sounds more like a pop-up piece.
I don't know.
It's a melting fucking clock hanging over the back of a crow's beak.
Right, so you've just quoted two of Dali's famous works.
The Lobster Telephone and the Melting Clocks,
The Persistence of Memory.
The Lobster Telephone, what's that?
It's a phone, but the top is a lobster.
Oh.
Yeah, you're a cunt.
You are.
I think, look,
I'm going to think of a joke
that's more accurate than yours right now.
Go on.
I used to own a Dada car,
and it used to move around
like it jumped through a urinal.
Right.
That was fucking awful.
Right, let's eat these Kokomos.
Yes, can I finish?
No.
And it has a little picture of a little boy and a girl
and they've got Kokomos ringing
them and the Kokomo
in front of the little boy has
in the diagram, Paul, it has the
top of the Kokomo
cut off and there's a chocolate
soupy thing. Splishy splashy
out. What do you think they're
going to be?
Are they going to be like little cereal things
with chocolate in? Thank you, yes.
It's an
audio little
cereal nugget with chocolate in.
I hope they are not as eggy
as the guava ball.
No, they're going to be fine.
It's got a face on.
Did you nick these off a desk?
Yes, but I was allowed to.
What's a Kokomo like then?
I quite like that.
It's all right, but it's not great.
It's that flavour of sort of that cheap biscuit.
Yeah.
It's fine.
It reminds me of my childhood.
What?
It reminds me of animal crackers.
It's very vanilla-y to us.
Remember animal crackers?
They're not as good as animal crackers.
I know they're not as good, but it has something that sort of reminds me of it. I of animal crackers. It's very vanilla-y. Remember animal crackers? They're not as good as animal crackers. I know they're not as good, but it has something that sort of reminds me of it.
I like animal crackers and those animal biscuits.
That taste of that biscuit does remind me of that.
So that's why I like those.
All right.
Two and a half?
Three?
Okay.
So that's our first Pakistani candy.
Candy.
Kokomo by Biscone.
Now these, I like these. I've had some of these before
and I was excited to see that someone
had brought some more in because I've had some
I was saving but they've gone a bit dry because they've been open
so these are
Big Bites Fun Pack
made by Candyland, Chilli Millie
Chilli Millie?
and these are Chilli Gummies
what? is that simple Paul?
is that simple?
these are chilli flavoured sweets chilli gummies. I want. Is that simple, Paul? It's that simple. It's that simple.
These are chilli flavoured sweets
which we've covered a lot on.
Are they gummies?
Because we covered the Skittles
which you sent in to us.
These are gummies.
I like those Skittles.
Oh, they are gummies.
And what do they portray?
The gummy,
what's the mould portray?
It looks like
a throbbing cock
if I'm being honest with you.
It looks like a two-headed dildo.
It does. I'm not just saying that because it's the show with you. It looks like a two-headed dildo. I'm not just saying that because it's the show.
It really does look like a two-headed dildo.
And that bit's all the throbbing cock end.
Well, they're both the throbbing cock end, except one is green.
And one is red at the other end.
Nice, tough gummy.
I like that consistency.
I think you've got those two characters, the green and the red one,
which are both chillies there on the cover.
And they've fused at the stomach.
They look like hippie chillies all dancing around.
I'm going to try it.
One of them's got a trident.
No, they're parachuting.
Oh, yeah, they are.
Oh, I like it.
I like them.
They've got a fruit flavour.
They're fruity.
And then the heat comes a little bit at the end just before you swallow it.
When you saliva.
Oh, they've got a nice fruity, nice...
Yeah.
There's a nice fruitiness to the actual flavour of the fruitiness.
I like them.
Yeah.
Oh, no, I like them a lot.
Yeah, they're good.
Full stop.
Yeah, I'll go for...
I don't know if I could eat a whole bag of them in one go, but...
Look, I definitely have a couple.
Yeah.
I am.
Those are one of the best chilli sweets.
You can really feel it works.
Yeah.
The heat and the sweet.
But it doesn't ruin the flavour.
No.
And the flavour doesn't ruin the chilli.
With the Skittles, it felt just a bit added on.
It's like an afterthought.
They're actually quite spicy.
They build up.
Right.
Last item on today's tube is...
It's another candy.
Monsichus.
Apple.
He's run out of energy already.
I've just got to eat this chilli mille, sorry.
Chilli mille. Get chilli mille sorry chilli mille
get chilli mille out your mouth
come on
I'll fucking say that
go on
it is a chew bar
if you wanted to
cast your mind back in the UK
imagine the length
of the wham bar
it is but it looks
a bit slimmer
than a wham bar
in my recollection
I had a wham bar recently
it didn't take us
anything like I remembered it
I think they've completely
changed the recipe
I did as well
they've fucking ruined it.
Ruined it. It's
health and safety gone mad. It's
Brexit Britain in full effect. Do you know what I mean?
No. I mean, it would be...
It must be some kind of regulation where they're
not allowed to have... Or they got
bold of the flavour, so for no reason
changed it. No, it's not the flavour that they changed so much as
the texture. Yeah, it's a soft chew now, not
the brittle snap. It's much softer, yeah. It doesn't have that kind of stretch.
I remember on a good day, if it was going on,
you could literally snap one of those in half.
Yeah, but then when you bit it,
you had a fucking fight with it.
Gnawing on it.
Like a fucking...
Like you're killing your food in the wild.
Like you're going to get...
Antelope's leg.
You've got an antelope.
And the antelope's going,
it's still alive and it's biting you.
It's flecking with deer spit in your eye.
Is that your new audition speech?
Shut up.
It's going to form a little scene
I've written for myself, by myself.
It's called Ode to Antelope's Leg.
I'm going to eat the leg.
I'm eating the leg now.
That's good, actually.
Very good.
You can come into our prestigious drama school.
I've never been so happy in all my life.
When do I start?
Tomorrow at 10 o'clock?
Paul, you're really making a meal of opening that Monty Chew bar.
Don't destroy it.
Got it.
I was too busy with an impression of you.
Have a bite.
It doesn't want me in.
It's a Monster Chew apple flavour. It's not Monster. It doesn't want me in. It's a monster chew,
apple flavoured,
It's not monster.
It says moncy.
Moncy chew?
Yeah,
moncy chew.
Oh,
right.
Here we go.
I'm opening it up
down the length
of its back.
You did it.
It's a very bright green,
ladies and gentlemen.
Get the top off
in your mouth hole.
All right.
He's handing it to me. And in it goes, ladies and gentlemen.
Oh, it's very apple-y.
Horrifically sour, choose.
Now, I had something yesterday which was sour, Paul.
On the Barsons channel?
And I could not.
I couldn't keep it in my mouth, it was so sour.
So I doubt this is going to be as horrific as that.
It's not sour at all, mate.
Really?
Not at all.
Tastes nice.
It's all right. That kind mate. Really? Not at all. Tastes nice. It's all right.
That kind of mild
sour apple.
Yeah.
Not sour at all, though.
As far as these things go,
not very sour at all.
No.
Fine.
God, it's got a weird
sort of mayonnaise-y
aftertaste.
Mine didn't.
I'm getting a sort of
salad cream thing.
Really?
Yeah.
I didn't get that at all.
It's a bit creamy
in terms of it's a kind of creamy apple flavour.
Also, it's got this kind of cardboardy front.
You know, it's got like Frutella.
Remember Frutellas?
Yeah.
It's that kind of consistency, that kind of flavour.
Yeah, but I'm getting a distinctly mayonnaise-y note.
Throb.
Right, well, then, there we go.
I will give that two.
No, three.
I've got to rate it higher than that.
I didn't like that, too. What was your favourite item will give that two. No, three. I've got to rate it higher than that. I didn't like that too.
What was your favourite item today of all of the items, Paul?
Maybe the chilli things.
I have another one.
You've had a few and I want another one.
Keep your hair on.
Right, good.
Yeah, I like those the most.
The least favourite thing?
Yeah, definitely the crepe.
Not a good decision to make.
They're like a fucking abomination.
That's not a word.
If you're a stepdad who's having trouble connecting with your new kids,
why not try and win them over with this shit in their packed lunchbox
because you have no idea how to work with children
because you've suddenly inherited one from someone you don't know, really.
It was a bit of a kind of fleeting romance.
You met on holiday.
You thought she was fit.
She told you about the family,
but you kind of waved out your mind because you thought you'd get laid then things went a bit too far bit of a scare for a
moment you got kept in touch and you got back to the uk uh all of a sudden she's confessing her
love you've been lonely for a while you meet up all of a sudden you meet their kids next thing
you know you're married and all of a sudden you're waking up at six in the morning to put their packed
lunch together and you think i can't be fucked with this. What's all that? Just because I had an erection
in fucking Barbados
and now I've got to fucking
give them chocolate crepes
from Saint-Hubert.
Where's my life gone?
Paul, wake up.
Wake up.
Where am I?
Anyway, that was it.
You were doing something
really shit.
Bye, bye.
End of section.
We haven't been recording.
I didn't press record properly.
Oh, for fuck's sake.
Start the section again.
That's it.
That's a very weak...
I've done it twice now.
You are a prick.
What else do you got?
Because honestly, I deserve it now.
Come on.
You were doing a lovely little acting moment
and I ruined it.
Which frankly, to be honest,
it might as well have been lost.
It wasn't really clever.
We can't just do a whole episode, Paul, where every segment is you going,
Right, sorry, we didn't record that.
We didn't record that.
We just did a bit, and now we're doing another bit.
You're a cunt and a prick.
He missed nothing, basically.
His acting was poor.
I just thought...
You thought what?
I just thought we'd do a little bit of something that we haven't done in a while.
I read a little story to you, a list of things,
and we can talk about them
in some detail. And I've got a list of famous
misers from history. Because you remember when we did
that John Meggitt?
I think we should start this section again. No.
We're in now.
I'm going. I'm flowing.
My beats are dropping.
And there ain't no stopping this train as it pulls into
the station. Come on, babe.
Come close to me, and there'll be no hesitation. Come as it pulls into the station. Come on, babe. Come close to me.
And there'll be no hesitation.
Come on, sit on my lap.
Come dance with me.
And I'm going to do some masturbation.
A wanky.
A wanky.
You've ruined that.
I was going to get sexy.
Oh, come the train comes in the station.
I'm doing masturbation. I'm going to dip my lotion all over you.
God almighty.
Fucking hell.
I've got it.
I've got it.
Go on.
I'm coming in the station.
I'm doing masturbation.
I'm going to put my lotion all over locomotion.
There.
Blah.
All right.
Okay, good.
Wow.
Skaboof.
Skaboof.
Fucking hell.
I'm happy, Paul.
I'm in a happy mood.
I'm going to talk like that.
Yeah.
Good.
You don't know what real emotions are.
I know.
You don't know what real emotions are.
Outside of negative ones.
I'll demonstrate a positive emotion now.
All right.
Be glad.
Ah.
No, that's not glad.
Ah.
Oh, Eli.
Here's a lovely warm egg for you
Alright
B
What positive emotion can you be
B coy
You don't know real emotions at all
Fuck off
Fucking read it
Anyway
I have gone to ranker.com
And they have a list there
Famous misers and how they lived
Because I thought it would be nice To do one of those kind of things again Where we talk about people from history Who were tight fisted Anyway, I have gone to ranker.com and they have a list there of famous misers and how they lived.
Because I thought it would be nice to do one of those kind of things again where we talk about people from history who were tight-fisted.
Famous misers and how they lived.
Yeah.
So this goes to Kellen Perry.
She put this list together.
Or he.
Can't see the picture.
It's a he.
Kellen.
Stupid fucking name.
Anyway, here is a list that he has compiled on ranker.com of famous misers and how they lived.
Here's the first one.
Thomas Cook.
Of Thomas Cook fame? We're about to find out.
I don't know.
Starved his wife to death to save money.
Nice.
Nice.
What a gentleman.
Thomas Cook, born 1726, died 1811.
So he lived a fair whack.
Well, he's probably made jerky out of his wife or something.
Was known as the most contemptible miser who ever lived.
Seriously, this guy basically made being a miser into a career.
In his 1814 biography, it said his life was checkered with as few good actions as ever.
Basically what he's saying, he's never done anything nice.
What?
I thought there was a rat.
In this fucking room?
No, no, there wasn't.
There is no rat.
Anyway, Cook was a world-class bastard.
He tricked his wife, a wealthy brewer's widow, into marrying him.
Brewer's widow?
That sounds like a euphemism.
Well, I cooked the other day with a brewer's widow.
Oh, terrible brewer's widow.
She was a brewer's widow, his wife.
So she already had one marriage. And her husband had died. He was a brewer. widow, his wife. So she already had one marriage.
And her husband had died.
He was a brewer.
I wonder how that happened.
Anyway, she...
Do you think he was, like, stirring some hops?
And, like, fell in?
No.
Stir, stir, stir the hops.
Save me!
Fucking hell.
Save me!
No, it didn't happen because it's not a rule doll story for a start.
Right.
So, he tricked her into marrying him and then ended up inadvertently starving her to death because he was so stingy.
I don't understand tricked.
What, like sign this, this is for this parcel.
Right, we're married.
Maybe.
Maybe he goes, I just need you to sign this birthday card for Barry around the corner.
I just need you to put your finger in this hole.
Put it in.
Go on.
It's the law.
Right, we're married. How do you do that? It might be that. Right, you've got a priest, you've got a finger in this hole. Put it in. Go on. It's the law. Right, we're married.
How do you do that?
It might be that.
Right, you've got a priest.
You've got a wall with a hole in it
and a priest standing on the other side.
You step over there.
Come over here.
Stick your finger in the hole.
I do.
Pull it away.
Right.
You fucking big stitched up love.
Turn you into jerky and eat your strips.
No, he didn't.
As a widower, Cook ate for free
by visiting his friends at dinner time
and reminding him that his will was a work in progress.
So he'd go, give me some food, I might put you in the will.
What a cunt.
When Cook was sick or injured, he would dress himself in rags
in hopes that the doctor would take pity on him.
He basically didn't work a day in his life but was still worth £700,000 when he died.
Wow, he inherited that?
I don't know.
Who got it?
I don't know.
It doesn't really say
how Barry started his wife.
It doesn't say
then he started
a travel agency.
No.
Also, it doesn't really say
he starved his wife.
You know what I mean?
It's like, what?
It's not a very good
first part.
Well, Paul,
this is what,
when you look up
something on the internet
and just get some list
out of nowhere
written by no one and, you know, it's't ask me i can't fucking i know i'm good i can't
fucking dress all of this up let's go back let's imagine he killed his she killed the brewer's
widow let's just let's just say yeah it was a comic yeah his. And it was like a superhero. Yeah. And she uses yeast and hops to defeat her enemies.
Well.
And she's visited by the ghost of her husband, who's sort of like her guide.
Well, thank you for visiting 20th Century Fox.
We don't like the movie pitch.
Brewer's Widow.
No, we do not like it.
We've got enough superhero movies, and Brewer's Widow is not a good one.
Brewer's Widow 2, the droopening.
No.
Next story.
Daniel Dancer
knocked his dog's teeth out
to avoid being sued.
Wow.
Bit of much, innit?
Well, that's good.
It's drawn me in.
His sole occupation,
apparently,
was hoarding his wealth.
Yeah, but you've got to get
the wealth in the first place.
He inherited it, I guess.
Yeah.
He inherited his father's estate
in 1736 at the age of 20
and then basically became a professional miser.
I'd have to work ever again.
You can't have my money.
You can't have it.
The kid was good at it too.
Dancer made his sister a housekeeper,
forcing her to cook partially decomposed,
but totally three, animals he found in the wild.
That's what that guy Meggett did as well, isn't it?
Yeah.
They love it.
Can you imagine that? I watched for as well, isn't it? Yeah. They love it. She later... Go out and find...
Can you imagine that?
I watched for dinner.
Oh, I found this dog.
His head's gone a bit soft.
Cut that off.
Cut that off.
We'll have the rest of it.
Don't let it go to waste.
Oh, I found this
totally fly-ridden
deer torso.
Oh, I love that.
Scrape it.
Scrape it.
Spice it.
Give it a wash under the tap.
Put it into cakes.
It'll be fine. Put it into cakes. It'll be fine.
Put it into little meat strippy cakes.
But anyway, the sister eventually died because he wouldn't pay the doctor.
What a fucking cunt.
Yeah, I mean, you...
I'm dying!
I don't know, the doctor's a 50 quid, isn't he?
Just cough it up, love.
You'll sweat it out.
Don't worry, doctor's 50 quid.
I've died.
That's 50 quid saved.
Yeah, that is...
I mean, it's, you know, there's miserly
and then there's... Or even worse, like a doctor
comes round and the doctor goes, oh, it's very
simple, we can treat this, the moisture's only going to cost
you, I don't know, 50 quid.
Oh no. Yeah. Oh no.
I thought it was going to be free. That's really bad.
I mean, it's kind of tantamount
to murder, or neglect at least, isn't it?
Exactly.
Anyway, he never bathed or washed his clothes.
He was an especially paranoid and cruel miser.
To avoid the possibility of getting sued by his neighbours,
he knocked his beloved pet dog's teeth out so it wouldn't eat their livestock.
It's a horrible fucking thing to do.
He's a horrible guy.
Can you please prevent your dog?
Yeah, I'll prevent it.
Come here.
Roo, roo, roo.
Smash!
Smash!
Roo, roo, roo.
Roo, roo, roo.
Yeah, you won't be eating any more of their chickens now, you cunt.
No, I just meant...
And you're good for giving me a blowy.
Oh, God almighty.
Come over here. I've rubbed chum
on me under carriage
get the chum
feel my bum
that's a little poem
remember it
eat the chum
finger my bum
yeah
come on you toothless dog
drip your lovely
saliva on my glands
and that's
one star review
remember that
Daniel K Ludwig fired an employee for wasting a paper clip oh he was born on my glands. And that's one star review. Remember that?
Daniel K. Ludwig fired an employee
for wasting a paperclip.
Oh, he was born 1897,
died in 1992
and was a reclusive
American billionaire
shipping magnet.
Sorry, born when?
1897.
To 92?
Yeah.
Long lived.
Well, that's what the rich do,
isn't it?
When you can live forever
being rich.
I'm feeling like this guy might have had sort of bad experiences in a war.
Maybe he was interned, prisoner of war, or even maybe a concentration camp
because that is a syndrome that happens to people
who are in those kind of really desperate situations for a number of years,
you know, where they can't eat and they've got nothing.
They can't ever drop the miserliness.
Do you know what I mean?
They can't ever be a big sp spender again even in later life anyway yeah that's point right ludwig was so recluded that he was known as the invisible billionaire but quite a few stories about his
miserly ways emerged towards the end of his life most notoriously he fired a tanker captain because
he wasted a paper clip on a two-page letter as As an octogenarian, Ludwig walked to work instead of hiring a driver,
wore the same plastic raincoat year after year,
drove an aged car,
and flew in coach.
You could argue.
He was down with the common man,
isn't he?
No.
Gets a coat to last,
travels in coach with the rest of them.
It's just ridiculous.
Once you've got a certain amount of money,
there's a luxury you can give yourself.
And also,
you're giving money to others, then, give yourself. And also, you're giving money
to others then.
Well, you're supporting
the economy.
He never spends
any of his billions
so it just sits there
doing nothing.
Where does it go
when he dies?
It doesn't lubricate
the economy in every way.
Yeah, and when he dies
it just, yeah,
then it's gone.
He can't take it with him.
It's a strange,
lonely world of the miser.
It's a so lonely world
of the miser. It's like, I can imagine it like a prog rock song. miser. It's a so lonely world of the miser.
I can imagine it like a prog rock song.
Yes.
It's a concept album.
Cheap show present, the strange, lonely world of the miser.
Oh, I love it.
Track one, waking up in the park.
Track two, it's a yoghurt pulses.
What's that?
You get chives, you get yoghurt, maybe some clay,
and you flap it up your bum like...
Shouldn't have asked.
No.
Okay, next.
Jay Paul Getty had a payphone in his mansion for guests to use.
That's so cheeky.
Born 1892, died in 1978.
Now, he is famous.
An American billionaire oilman.
Getty Images.
Yes, and a famous collector
Of art and antiquities
I did visit his
He's like a cunt
Indiana Jones
His old home in California
Is a museum now
Yeah
And I've been there
It's just off PCH isn't it
It's on the coast
That one time I visited California
I went there
All the time I lived there
I could never go see it
Because it was always
On the renovations
It was doing this big
Multi-million renovation
So I never got to go
When I was on it
It was beautiful
Beautiful estate It's a beautiful estate It really is But it's a bit dry You know because it was always on the renovations. It was doing this big multi-million renovation. So I never got to go when I was on it. It was beautiful.
Beautiful estate. It's a beautiful estate.
It really is.
But it's a bit dry.
You know, it's kind of all sort of...
You're going to have to want to go there to go there.
It's not really a touristy thing.
I'd like it.
But it's all just sort of old vases and stuff, really.
A load of old shit in it.
A load of old fucking vases.
And statues and things.
Like a boring Indiana Jones.
Yeah.
These don't belong in a museum.
They belong on my shelf next to my mommy's picture.
Yeah.
But he was also, he did have these sort of foundations set up.
Famously, this story as he goes into now,
he famously refused to pay a ransom to his grandson's kidnappers.
Oh, yeah.
I heard about that.
Even after they cut off the kid's ear and mailed it to the newspaper office.
They made a film of it didn't they recently with
Kevin Spacey
sorry
not Kevin Spacey
they replaced him
with Christopher Plummer
oh that was the film
that was the film
Ridley Scott
Spacey will never work again
Kevin Spacey
yeah
yeah
because every film
now is going to star
Christopher Plummer
instead
in the usual suspects
starring Christopher Plummer
do you think they're going to
put Plummer in
retrospectively
into these films
they're going to all like
new edition Star Wars it
they go back
and like put Jabber in as well
just why not
yeah
put a little creature
that pops up and goes
and runs off
for no reason
did you know
that Spielberg took
all the guns and cigarettes
out of E.T.
for one edition on DVD
and replaced it
with walkie talkies
and that was it
he has since gone on record
as saying he regretted
doing that
because it's stupid.
So that version isn't
going to be...
You can probably still
get it on DVD.
Silly, isn't it?
Why was he like,
oh, I'm sick of people
smoking with guns?
No, because it was
that revisionist part
of the early 2000s
where all of a sudden
technology could improve
your special effects,
which is why Lucas
did what he did to
Star Wars and they
could go back and
treat them.
He flirted with it as well.
Yeah he was nearly
going to do Jaws as well.
He nearly went in to
change Jaws and update it.
And take the cigarettes out.
Well no just like
make the shark look better
and that kind of thing.
But that's part of the charm.
It's not worth doing that.
It's not worth.
Leave it alone.
Leave it alone.
Anyway he forced to pay
the ransom.
He eventually gave in
and loaned his son
the money to pay
the ransom
but forced him to pay it back.
I cannot believe that.
He's had his ear cut off.
Yeah.
Did he suspect his son was...
I mean, I don't think so
but I don't know
all the details of the case.
Getty later defended himself
saying that
giving in to the initial demand
would have placed his
14 other grandchildren
at risk.
Yeah, okay.
I know they sent
the ear in the post but I was thinking of the other 14 kids I don't speak to. I know they sent the ear in the post,
but I was thinking of the other 14 kids I don't speak to.
Yeah.
You know, who I don't talk to and won't give any money to.
That is so stingy.
They need to know that.
No matter who they kidnap in my family,
they're not getting any money.
Ever.
All right?
Yeah.
Not even little lame Jane.
Has a little bit of a limp.
She's not getting any money.
I know she has a simple operation that can fix it.
Fuck her.
I don't know.
What's happening?
He's a cunt.
Anyway, a far more hilarious case of miserly behaviour
was when he put a payphone in his London mansion.
So guess what?
It racked up his phone bill.
I think my kids are trapped in a house fire.
Do you have a phone?
There's a payphone down the corner, love.
I don't have any change on me.
You'll have to pop down the corner shop there.
I've only got a tenner.
Do I have to put money in the payphone? Yes Well, I've only got a tenner. I just need, I just, does it, do I have to
put money in the pay
phone?
Yes.
How much does it
take?
$200.
Oh, God, I'm going to
have to go to the
bank account.
Hang on.
I don't think the
machine.
I can loan you it.
You just sign here.
Yeah.
All right.
I'm Getty.
Do you like my
accent?
Yeah, it's good.
It's very good.
This is a nice little
scene.
I'm enjoying this.
It's a nice little
playlist.
So sign there, love.
All right.
And done.
All right.
And now you have to
pay the unlocking fee.
How much?
Oh, God.
Another 300.
Seriously, I think my family
are on fire.
I need to just call home.
Yeah, all right.
Hold it.
Yeah, okay.
Yeah, all right.
Hold your order.
Hold on.
Okay.
All right.
Just an unlocking fee.
How much?
I don't make these rules.
No, you do.
I do make these rules, yes. Yeah. I don't speak to myself. All right. How much? I don't make these rules. No, you do. I do make these rules, yes.
Yeah.
I don't speak to myself.
All right.
How much?
I'm totally disconnected from my own mind.
How much?
£300.
Pounds?
$300.
Dollars?
I'm American, as you can tell by my accent.
Oh, God.
Well, hand it over.
Okay, I've got to go to the bank first.
Well, I've got this cash machine here.
Oh, okay.
It's one of these newfangled ATMs.
Don't look at my pin.
Beep, beep, beep, beep.
Beep, beep.
Accept the charge.
$3,000.
Oh, yes.
It's a good robot voice it's got, isn't it?
Yeah, it's very good, isn't it?
Right.
Here's the money.
Here's the money, Mr. Getty.
I know.
What am I going to do with this?
You have to go down to the cool shop,
get a change out
yeah
alright
see you in a bit
right
I'm going to
have a wink
wow
well that's the only way
you can think of
ending that
it did end it
though didn't it
it did
with you just
having John Paul Getty
have a wank
well
billionaire Hetty Green scammed the free clinic.
Oh, this is a lady miser.
Now, if you've listened to The Dollop, they do a full episode about her.
Oh, really?
It's called The Witch of Wall Street.
Oh, yeah.
That's amazing.
This is her.
So, obviously, they go into a lot greater detail.
But it says here, a lot of tall tales have been told about Green's miserly ways.
Most famously, that her son's leg had to be amputated because she didn't want to pay the medical bill.
Seemingly common miserly trait.
That's the worst type of thing to do.
Her son lost a leg, but the biographer says
she did seek treatment for his condition
and she did pay the bill.
So, bit of an urban legend-y thing building up there.
But there are quite a few true stories
of her extreme frugality.
Despite being insanely wealthy,
she did try to use free clinics under a false name.
God, she also lived in cheap apartments
and rooming houses to save money
and was notorious for haggling with waiters.
Oh, God.
And she's probably stunk of piss.
Yeah, really badly.
Yeah, not loved.
That's another thing with misers.
They build up an odour.
I'm a fucking billionaire.
You will sniff my grotty nooks.
Yeah, nasty.
Sniff my pants of a thousand years worth of piss.
I've pebble-dashed a pack of my keks so many times,
I can feel the lay of the land out there.
Listen, this brought a story to my mind, Paul.
Here we go.
My friend, his mum has no sense of smell.
None.
None.
It's an unfortunate condition that some people suffer from.
Obviously, because she can't taste all the stuff I'd imagine, too.
Yeah, so the taste isn't great.
Yeah, poor girl.
She's a lady.
Poor woman.
Yeah.
Poor person.
Let's just say poor person.
Poor person.
They went to the cinema, and there was someone who stank of piss really bad.
Yeah. Sat in front of themank of piss really bad. Yeah.
Sat in front of them like really bad.
She can't smell.
She's loving the movie.
Her eyes are watering.
Oh, right.
So she just.
Literally, it's like, what's going on?
My eyes are watering.
That was how bad the ammonic piss smell was.
The person in the front.
He smells of piss.
Yes.
Oh.
Multimillionaire Wellington R. Burt denied two generations their inheritance.
Who is he?
Well, he was born in 1831, died in 1919, was an American lumber baron,
and that was also one of the wealthiest men in the country in the early 1900s.
Burt wasn't particularly miserly in his day-to-day life,
but he did famously include a spite clause in his will
that kept all of his children and grandchildren from inheriting his $100 million fortune.
Oh, mate.
You've got to call it a spike
clause. You couldn't just call it, you know, Article
4. It's a spike clause.
That's what they're known as. The clause stipulated that
no money would be doled out until 21
years after his last grandchild
died. What? His last kid
did, however, get small annuities
and later got a $5 million chunk thanks to a legal
loophole. So one of them got some.
But ultimately this meant that only 12
of his many, many descendants
ever received the bulk of his money
as he intended.
And they didn't get it
until 2011,
92 years after he died.
Yeah, I think I heard about that.
Yeah.
That is ridiculous.
It's crazy.
But apparently,
there was family feuds
and he was just like,
ah, fuck him.
He didn't like him.
When he looked at his family,
he thought,
what a bunch of fucking wretches.
You want this money
do you want your kids
to have the money
do you want your kids
kids to have the money
no I'm going to give it
to your kids
kids kids kids
and see how that works
out for you
yeah terrible
and then what do they do
well I'm not having kids
I don't know how that works
you've really puzzled me
with that last thing
you said Paul
I'm not going to have kids
and then you seem to be
holding your breath yeah that's how I to have kids. And then you seem to be holding your breath.
Yeah, that's how I not have kids.
You sort of hold your breath.
I was told that if you don't...
No, that's what you do.
Don't you know that?
If you hold your breath when you orgasm, you don't cum.
Have you never heard that?
That's not true.
That is true.
That sounds like...
I'll fuck you, show you.
I'm going to whack in your face.
No, Paul. I'm going to whack in your face. No, Paul.
I'm going to whack in your face.
No.
And I will come.
Because I'm on my breath.
You won't get splatted.
All right?
That's not true.
You're thinking of Kundalini Yoga, where you sit quietly.
I've never met her.
Sometimes.
Don't you fucking judge me.
Is that the end of this section?
Is it?
No.
Rich landlord John Camden Neal refused to repair his tenants' houses.
1780 to 1852.
Sounds like someone we know.
He was a landlord and notorious miser famous for leaving all of his property to Queen Victoria,
who accepted it.
Do you want some houses, Queen?
I'll have them.
If he doesn't want them, I'll have them.
Neild inherited his family fortune and basically spent
the last 30 years
of his life
being a cranky miser
he kept his massive house
in Chelsea
sparsely furnished
including going
without a bed
for a stretch
just to save on expenses
he wouldn't spring
for an overcoat
and the clothes
he did have
were in constant disrepair
he had tenants
on the vast estates
in Buckinghamshire
but he refused
to repair their homes
when needed
he even neglected church
on one of his properties,
choosing to stuff the cracks with cotton rather than having them repaired.
And it was a mess when it rained in the church.
Imagine it.
Oh, well, then, with this one, because this one seems quite nice.
Ingvar Kamprad is worth billions, but he only buys his clothes at flea markets.
What's wrong with that?
He's a hipster.
He's a trendy hipster that when you look at him, he doesn't

He's an old... He looks very thin.

Skull and its brains are out.
