If Eli Silverman was a Magic the Gathering card, his stats would be smell, 100 anger 110 percent uh self-respect three percent and his special gift is arse gas uh that's his special toy uh eagle eye silverman the worst magic the gathering card you could possibly own you can do me now yeah you do me yeah you've prepared something i didn't have to ever explain that up. No shit. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Now, if I was going to describe Paul as... Uh-oh.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Witty, witty. Come on. I'll give you all the time you need. You keep thinking about it. If Paul was a chair... Good start. Yeah, chair's good. He'd have...
Starting point is 00:01:23 Legs. Listen, did I interrupt you? No. When you basically called me what? The twat. Yeah, chair's good. He'd have... Legs. Listen, did I interrupt you? No. When you basically called me what? The twat. No, you said smelly. Smelly, farty. Low self-esteem.
Starting point is 00:01:33 Yeah. Brilliant. Yeah, Magic the Gathering. How's that going to help my self-esteem, Paul? I don't give a fuck. I mean, I come down here to Southampton, do a show, and I just get into the studio. You smell. You fat troll
Starting point is 00:01:45 is that what you're saying? I didn't say that but it's what I'm implying you do what you want I'll step back I will definitely not interrupt in any way ooh Paul Gannon
Starting point is 00:01:54 how could we describe him? well he's not a great friend he calls me a troll I hate him is that it? does that work for you? it's alright
Starting point is 00:02:01 it's not your best usually you call me a kiddie fiddler or you know a depressed maths teacher or anything like that. Usually a bit more vicious. That, frankly, was punching below your weight. I think you can do better.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Okay, I'll try again. Do you want to have another go? Yeah. All right. I really want you to hurt me. I really want to have our friendship in doubt by the end of this next little link. All right? All right.
Starting point is 00:02:24 I'll tell you what will help. I'll tell you what will help. I'll help you out with this. You might need some news. Paul Gannon. Shut up. Taking twattery to levels never seen before. On the mountain of Dickhead,
Starting point is 00:02:40 he plants his pole firmly up his own rectum. Gannon. Dick man for the nation. Twat hole. Is that it? Is that like, who wants to be a millionaire music? I think so, yeah. I just thought the
Starting point is 00:02:57 tension might have been nice. I liked it. Yeah, it's alright. It helped. Made me giggle. Yeah, it made you giggle. Yeah. Maybe the person listening giggled as well. Did you listen, Giggler? Did you person listener? Did you person listener giggle? Made me giggle. Yeah, it made you giggle. Yeah. Maybe the person listening giggled as well. Did you listen, giggler? Did you person listener? Did you person listener giggle? Did you giggle, bell puzzle?
Starting point is 00:03:09 There, already. Yeah. The verbal salad. The verbal salad. He's tossing the verbal salad. I like that. I like that a lot. Gavin, tossing verbal salad this way and that.
Starting point is 00:03:21 He's blown the goose. It makes no sense because no one came to the live show where I first coined that. Did no one come? No. We have potentially more listeners to this than ever came to that potential live show that we did in the first place. So, I'll just give you some background. Paul
Starting point is 00:03:38 has been known to mess up the words. He'll start on a metaphor that he doesn't truly know and he'll just go through with it. Yeah, I don't really think things through. No. You know? And it led to you saying,
Starting point is 00:03:50 he's blown the goose. Which I think will catch on. Yeah, I mean, it's good. By mistake. Comedian and actor Richard Sandling already throws that one around. Oh, he's blown the goose. I'm happy with that, frankly.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Yeah, it's good. You've coined it. Yeah, I'm all right with that. We didn't talk about this last episode, but how was your New Year? Did you do anything fun for New Year's? I know it's like February now, and it's like old news, but... DJing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Mr. DJ pumped that party. Blue's Kitchen Camden. Yeah. Was it massive? Went till four. Wow. It was better than last year. I did New Year's the year previously.
Starting point is 00:04:22 Yeah. It was a bit quiet, because it was a Wednesday. Yeah, it was. And that was the year when they couldn't get the confetti things to go off. Couldn't get the confetti. So it was like. I did New Year's the year previously. It was a bit quiet because it was a Wednesday. Yeah, it was. And that was the year when they couldn't get the confetti things to go off. Couldn't get the confetti. So it was like, here's New Year. And people were poised on stage with these kind of confetti bomb launcher things, weren't they? Ready to get it going.
Starting point is 00:04:35 Like, three, two, one. It's not happening. Oh, it hasn't been opened properly. Get the cellophane off. One, two, three. At least 45 seconds later. Then they celebrated New Year. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:45 By then, no one gave a fuck. No. So this year, I wasn't given the responsibility to wield a confetti cannon. Fair enough. And I think the confetti cannons went off pretty good. Yeah, but you weren't in charge of them in the first place. You had one, but the girl who was running it still had the major ones on the front of the stage. So it was still her gaffe.
Starting point is 00:05:03 Yes, it was her gaffe. It was her gaffe and her gaff. Yes. Yeah, so joke's on you if you're listening. Oh, nice. This year I had to do the countdown. Did you? Yes.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Did you get a microphone and go ten, nine? Yeah, I didn't though because I messed it up and I only got to, because I was trying to queue up a record as well. Yeah. And it got to about four. And I went, four, three, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I played
Starting point is 00:05:27 1999 by Prince. Two thousand zero zero party overhead out of time. It's a great tune. It's a great tune. It's a fucking wicked one as well. It's a good one for me.
Starting point is 00:05:41 You should have played Disco 2000 as well at the same time. Because the thing is, you can still get away with playing that song because it goes, tonight we're going to party like it's a good one you should have played a disco 2000 as well at the same time because the thing is you can still get away with playing that song because it goes tonight we're going to party like it's 1999 so up until 2000 right that song was still like the potential we're going to rock it like it's the future but now it's like now we're going to rock it old school yeah so prince was thinking ahead he was a little purple midget bastard a littlever little purple genius. Yeah, he is, isn't he?
Starting point is 00:06:05 No, it's good. You know, it's cheesy. But I thought, you know, it's hard to think of another appropriate sort of rhythm and blues. Yeah, but aren't that many also songs about New Year in terms of celebration? There aren't.
Starting point is 00:06:18 There's Old Lang Syne. That's bullshit. Yeah, that's bullshit. That wasn't originally meant to be about New Year's at all. It was just a Hogman-y thing, wasn't it? Well, Hogman-y is New Year's. Yeah, but it's not quite the same thing.
Starting point is 00:06:26 There's something like Robbie Burns or something. I think it's been appropriated for New Year's rather than it was made for it. I might be wrong. There might be someone listening right now saying, excuse me, but you're completely out of order, and you don't know the fucking first thing you're talking about, and I'm going to write a letter as soon as I get out of this fucking mental institution. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:06:43 Yeah, anyway. So we had fun, though. It was alright. Yeah. I went to a house party. Now, that day, New Year's Eve, I had been up since four in the morning because I was doing the breakfast show on a radio. Didn't have much sleep during the day because I was doing split shifts, which means
Starting point is 00:06:57 I was working from like 4.30 till basically midday and then three in the afternoon till 7. Then from 7 o'clock, I raced from Southampton to Brighton to go to see my friend. Oh, it was in Brighton. Yeah, I went to my mate Luke, who you know, and we had a nice house party. But by the time I got there, I was fucking knackered.
Starting point is 00:07:15 And I was like, am I going to actually make it to midnight? And it was tough going for a while because, I'm going to be bluntly honest, drugs and alcohol were ingested in vast quantities that evening that I partook in, and I enjoyed it. But if you're very tired, alcohol and the Mary Jane. That variety. Is just not. I didn't take anything that was going to keep me up.
Starting point is 00:07:38 In retrospect, I probably should have. Because come midnight, I was like, I'm not going to make this. I'm not going to make it. I'm not going to make it. Party over for you. But I got to midnight and it was all right. We had a nice celebrate. Everyone was in one room. Yay!
Starting point is 00:07:51 It was a big house party. Everyone was having fun. Yay! Fireworks! So we all went out into the street and they started getting this fireworks box out and putting fireworks in. And people from the nearby flats and houses were all looking out the windows going, Yay!
Starting point is 00:08:04 Fireworks! Yay! hooray, fireworks! You know, hooray! Everyone was enjoying it and we're all sitting there and I had a little bottle and I was sitting on like their front, not on their front lawn because like,
Starting point is 00:08:13 where the house was, there was like a big weird gap and then a wall and then the street. So it's kind of almost like a little furrow, a little kind of moat almost between the house
Starting point is 00:08:21 and the road. But I was standing just by... Just by the moat? Yeah. So I was sitting there and, you know, whoo!
Starting point is 00:08:29 Everyone's going, yay! Let's get the rockets out. So we got some milk bottles and we put the rockets in and stuff like that and there was one rocket that went off four times.
Starting point is 00:08:37 It was like, you know, it was like one rocket but it went, psh! psh! Oh, those are good, those ones, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:42 They're cool, those ones. And the first one went off excellently i was going and we're all drunk and ray and they put in the second bottle and it was a wine bottle way too tall because what was happening is they lit it everyone backed back and then the bottle just started to tip and it tipped right in our direction the weight of the firework was tipping yeah and it tipped fell on its side aimed at us, directly at me and Luke and a few others. And we were like, oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:09:07 And it was like, psh, psh, and started firing rockets at us directly. So I was like, oh, I threw my drink in the air, right? And I dove to the ground, forgetting that the moat was right there. You rolled down in the moat? Not rolled down, dove headfirst into this tiny gap between the house and the street.
Starting point is 00:09:23 So now I'm wedged between this house, right? With a rocket going on. Literally wedged. And I gap between the house and the street so now i'm wedged between this house right literally wet and i can feel the heat of the rocket going over my head bouncing off the window of the house and you know yeah exploding right on top of me right and i was like i'm in pain i had scratches all over my hand but it's gone now but i had a massive big scratch on my leg can you see that now, I'm looking at this injury and he is not turning, he's not being a malingerer here. He's not fibbing. That is a gash.
Starting point is 00:09:50 That is like a five, at least five inches, a good gash. That's what she said. She doesn't. No. She owns the gash. She does. But anyway, that was much worse up until a few days ago because that was a huge, big, proper old school.
Starting point is 00:10:03 And how did you do that on the wall or something? Just from falling. I just scraped where my leg hit the wall in serious business yeah but that scab was huge it was proper like you know when you're right young and you fall off a bike or something you have a proper big scab on your leg that whole thing went huge big scab came off in one go yesterday are we on the cheap eat section You can't get cheaper than eating your own scabs, can you? Chewy, hairy, gristly. It was like half blood sausage, half pork scratching. Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.
Starting point is 00:10:33 Oh, I was eating on that for about two minutes. Mibbling. Oh, it was great. I'm meant to be the disgusting little troll. You were meant to be the hapless twat. I put it in the bin. I gave it a bite just for old time's sake because I have not had a scab like that since I was ten. But I didn't eat it.
Starting point is 00:10:48 I spat it out and then put it in the bin. That's less disgusting somehow, isn't it? Just a little bit. I didn't... Listener, I didn't eat a whole scab. I only tasted the scab and then I spat the scab in the bin. Purely for research. So that's what I did. That was my new year.
Starting point is 00:11:04 I had a great time. Good. You know what else happened? I DJed till four and then I sat around drinking for a couple of hours and then I met this guy.
Starting point is 00:11:12 No, it's not going that way. I didn't suppose. I went to someone's flat. This is like 6, 7.30 in the morning. And the guy in the flat was like, I'm in the mood
Starting point is 00:11:22 for an after party. This person in Dalston said there's a club, we can go down there. I said, oh, I'll go along. That's my way home. So I end up literally 9.30 the next day in the morning in this club in Dalston. Wow.
Starting point is 00:11:36 We're too old for this shit, man. I was so way too old for it. Because when I got to about, I don't know, 2.30, 3 in the morning, everyone was up. And at that point, me and Luke had agreed, about 2, we're going to go home. We're both getting old now. It wasn't his house? No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:11:50 It was a friend of a friend's house that we were just invited to. But the unfortunate thing is, right before we were about to go, one of Luke's relatives turned up he's not seen in years. And he was like, I've got to stay for a bit because he came all this way. And I was like, oh. So I fell asleep standing up in the kitchen wedged against this cabinet and this cooking leading yeah there was quite a lot of blood on my jeans soaking through keeping the g because that's the thing you have to pull the
Starting point is 00:12:13 jeans off this off the cut scabbing into the jean so that was painful and then apparently i don't remember this i fell asleep in someone's bedroom and they did not approve because you know it was their private room that they said quite loudly throughout the night no it's not out of my room it's off limits i just went in and out of sleep because it was the only room in there where people weren't drinking smoking whatever um he was not happy he was not happy did he shout at you he shouted at me really he was like get out of my bed get out of my bed like that god the guy sounds like he's got a stick up his arse. Yeah, well, to be fair, I would have been the same. I would have been quite arse.
Starting point is 00:12:50 Were you drunk or something? Is that why you went in there? Yes. It sounds like drunk Paul. It's like drunk. I don't care. Yeah. I'm going to have sleep.
Starting point is 00:12:56 I've got to do it. I don't give a fuck. Yeah, so yeah, I was asleep. And then eventually we got a very expensive taxi home. So what have we got coming up on the show today, Paul? Well, I think on the show today we're going to do a charity shop challenge where I've bought a board game from a charity shop and we're going to play off against each other and see who is the victor.
Starting point is 00:13:15 I believe you've got a price of shite coming up. I've got some prices of shite. Which is good. And we're going to open with a little topic I have found online. Let's see. What is this? So everyone likes a bargain, right? Everyone likes to bargain. Have you ever used eBay to get stuff? Have you ever bought stuff on eBay? I am proud to say I've never bought something on eBay.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Why do you be proud to say that? A lot of people do it. Millions of people do it every day. Well, I'm proud. Why? What? Just because I'm proud. Listen, when you have got not much to be proud of in your life, just start using arbitrary things. Like, I'm proud of never having...
Starting point is 00:13:51 I've never painted a window red. You're proud of that, aren't you? I'm proud of that. It's a point of pride. I've never in my life eaten a brick. Quite proud of that. It's good that you've avoided the health problems. I have never in my life thrown a child through a brick. Quite proud of that. Yeah. It's good that you've avoided the health problems.
Starting point is 00:14:06 Yeah. I have never in my life thrown a child through a window. Quite proud of that. Proud of that. Yeah, proud of that. So I've never sold anything on eBay. No. Proud of that.
Starting point is 00:14:14 Never sold anything, never bought anything? No, never. Well, here's the thing. I have used eBay. I bought some quite nice things off it, some rarities. You monster. Yeah, I bought a very expensive version of Red Dwarf, the USA TV pilot, you know, when they did an American version of Red Dwarf on VHS.
Starting point is 00:14:31 I bought that. Did they make a series? No, they made three pilots with different casts. Wow. Did they show them? No, never showed them. So that's why this VHS was quite expensive. And it had all three episodes on it.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Yeah, different permutations. The only thing that was consistent across all three was Robert Llewellyn, who played Crichton, played. And it had all three episodes on it. Yeah, different permutations. The only thing that was consistent across all three was Robert Llewellyn, who played Crichton, played Crichton in all three episodes. Anyway, I bought that, and then three weeks later discovered YouTube, which had those pilots on for now. Of course it does.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Absolutely fucking nothing. So, you know, I have used eBay in my time. That shows you, though, doesn't it? eBay and then YouTube. YouTube was like a revelation when I discovered YouTube. That thing I haven't seen in 20 years. It's on YouTube. I can watch it.
Starting point is 00:15:09 So anyway, I've used eBay. And I thought, what kind of weird things have been sold on eBay? What kind of weird bargains or auctions? It turns out quite a lot of weird bollocks has been sold. And I've got a few of them here if you want to know more. Okay, tell me. Okay, so this sold for $190. It is a CB6000 male chastity contraption.
Starting point is 00:15:34 And it sold, apparently. Do you know what it is? What it does? It shows you pictures of Anne Hathaway. Ahoy! What, the Shakespeare's wife? Oh, God, no. Or the skeletal-faced actress? She's an attractive.
Starting point is 00:15:49 She's all right. The thing is, she... Sexist bull, sexist bull, sexist bull, likes them fat and tall. And I don't know why that pitch never sold when I tried to pitch that as a kids' cartoon show. Whatever.
Starting point is 00:16:00 It's basically a little plastic mould that looks like a penis, but you slop your junk into it and you strap it to yourself. But because it's so restrictive, you can't get an erection within it. Okay. And so it locks your cockle. That could come in useful. It could come in useful.
Starting point is 00:16:13 It's better than the women's. You know, they also have chastity belts for women of two varieties. One that's just basically a metal pair of knickers or one that have, like, spikes and things. So even if you try to stick it in, you're going to get your chap quite severely mauled. Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:28 You wouldn't want to go there. So that sold for 190. But why has it got this sort of serial number, as if they've got a whole range of male chastity items? Well, I can only imagine, basically, that it comes down to the fact that they're popular and they come in different styles that maybe want to suit different types of men.
Starting point is 00:16:46 Why would you want one? What, he works as a doorman in a strip club or something and he's got a problem with unwanted erections? I don't understand. I don't know. I thought the chastity belt was the point that your dad or your husband locked you in it so that no one could get you while you were out marauding or something.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Maybe that's it. Maybe let's go to a dark place. Maybe you're a paedophile and you've been forced to have one. Or you're a sex offender and you've been forced to have one. Or, you know, you're Bill Colby. You know?
Starting point is 00:17:18 And he should know better. You know, there's that. It's a thought. I mean, it's a thought. I mean, it also came with, when you bought the item, it also came with a free pair of Italian design sunglasses, glasses even.
Starting point is 00:17:32 And you can specify your choice when you make the payment, which is nice. So, you know, you can look like a complete dick with your sunglasses on and your cock locked up. So that's that one.
Starting point is 00:17:41 What else? Well, not particularly cheap, is it? No, but you know, actually all of these aren't particularly cheap. Off topic. Oh, God, mate, a cheap show. It's really hard doing this. I know.
Starting point is 00:17:53 Let's just get on with it. Let's just get on with it, all right? People listen to this just like, you know, just make this interesting. Come on. I'm trying. It's been a long, long weekend. Yeah. There's this funny thing with online, buying things online.
Starting point is 00:18:10 The price kind of gets inflated, doesn't it, by the fact that it's online? Because people think because it's an auction, it's going to get more than you put the initial price on for. And it never does. This one's nice. Chocolate-flavoured nipple spread with applicator. What it means is plastic knife. But it's basically a little pot of... Is it a knife or a brush?
Starting point is 00:18:25 It's a little knife. It's like is plastic knife. But it's basically a little pot of... Is it a knife or a brush? It's a little knife. It's like a palette knife. It's basically someone packaging what anyone would do with a jar of Nutella under any sexual circumstances. You know? Yeah. What if you don't like Nutella? Then there are other chocolate spreads available.
Starting point is 00:18:37 As we've done. As we have done in the past, yeah. It's Euro creme. Euro creme. Matt, you could get sexy with the Euro creme. Excuse me, darling. To spice up this remarkably erotic evening, can I spread my Eurocreme all over your big fat tits?
Starting point is 00:18:52 What was there? Choco Noir? Choco Noir as well. That was quite nice, that stuff. Choco Noir. That's classy. I used that for some cupcakes. I spread it on some cupcakes.
Starting point is 00:18:59 Oh, did you? Yeah, I did in the end. Yes. Classy. Nice. So there's chocolate. It's chocolate body paint. We've heard of this before, haven't we? Yeah, I did in the end. Yes. Classy. Nice. So there's chocolate. It's chocolate body paint. We've heard of this before, haven't we?
Starting point is 00:19:07 Yeah. Have you ever used chocolate in sex? Have you ever used food in sex? Yes. You have? Yes. What food? Please don't say a banana or something.
Starting point is 00:19:17 I think the strangest thing you've ever used... Would have been Jolly Ranchers. It's all coming back to me now. But yes, I used to have sex. How were they used? Did you stick them up somewhere? What else are you going to do? You know, I just put them on the shelf.
Starting point is 00:19:40 I like to have the Jolly Ranchers watching me whilst I'm on the job. Of course I put them up somewhere. Where, though? The front one. The front one? How are you so coy when it comes to sex stuff? I'm not coy.
Starting point is 00:19:52 I'm just thinking of our listeners. Just say, in a very mature manner, I put a Jolly Rancher up a woman's twat. There, you've said it for me. I use Nutella in bed, and I've pasted that on a shaven area because no one wants a hairy Nutella slurp.
Starting point is 00:20:11 No one wants that. Hairy Nutella Slurp. Slice. Yeah, yeah. You know, I've applied a little bit of
Starting point is 00:20:16 Nutella to a lady's pot and gone at it like a bulldog with a big bowl of dog food. Blah, blah, blah. Yes, they're good. It's the blue episode of Cheap Show. It's a bit rude, isn't it, so far? at it like a bulldog with a big bowl of dog food.
Starting point is 00:20:25 Yes, they're good. It's the blue episode of Cheap Show. It's a bit rude, isn't it, so far? Why are you getting so rude? It's like me in Lisbon. Lisbon Airport. Bloody hell. I could have fucking done demolition work. Could you?
Starting point is 00:20:41 Right, moving on. So that sold for £3.99. Body pay for £3.99? Yeah. See that again. How much is Nutella? Why did you put it on eBay? I wouldn't buy it
Starting point is 00:20:51 off a mysterious seller. You know, I'd get it from a sex shop in Soho if I had to get it at all, along with some fucking dick-shaped pasta. What's dick-shaped pasta called in Italian?
Starting point is 00:21:00 Coccole. Coccole? I don't know. Coco. Penne penis. Yes, thank you. That was another one. Another one that sold for $4.99 was an American raccoon penis bone.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Ah. See, now that could be used in traditional medicine. Is that what you think? I don't know. Yeah, well. See, that's it. Also, whales have penis bones. They do.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Raccoons have penis bones. They do. A lot of animals have penis bones. Why no me have penis bones. They do. Raccoons have penis bones. They do. A lot of animals have penis bones. Why don't me have penis bone? There's not enough penis that warrants having a bone in there. Well, it could be a three-inch bone. You don't know. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Don't want to know. Don't care. No, you know the point I'm trying to make here, Paul. Yeah. Keep your baculum away from me. Is that what it's a penis bone? Baculum, yeah. Yeah, and it's funny because the guy who sold this bone
Starting point is 00:21:45 has his own website store and it's called Baculum World. So it obviously is a bit of a... The thing is, you know what they sometimes use that for? Sometimes they've used penis bones from animals as tie clips. So you could use a fox's penis bone or a cat's one as a little tie clip.
Starting point is 00:22:03 I seem to think, I remember seeing some narwhal, narwhal baculums. Yeah, probably. And walrus. Walrus. Walrus had big old baculums. Yeah, you ought to see my baculum. Well, it takes away so many of the problems
Starting point is 00:22:17 associated with erectile dysfunction, for example. Yeah. But then there's some more problems. If you break it, that would be a bad break. Imagine snapping your baculum. Oh, you need a splint.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Get a lollipop stick. That would be terrible. Have it in a cast. You could use that chastity vice. The chastity vice. Job done. You will never
Starting point is 00:22:36 break your baculum then is a thought. Another one on this list is used breast implants. They didn't sell on the only way they didn't sell. Oh, you'd think they'd be grabbing those. They only sold, they didn't sell them. Oh, they didn't sell? No.
Starting point is 00:22:45 Oh, you'd think they'd be grabbing those. It's like, Mum, Mum, you know, you're talking to me the other way about you want to use breast plants
Starting point is 00:22:52 for your flabby flat tits. Well, I've just spoken on eBay and there's a pair going for a quid. Yeah, I'll get them. Yeah, I'll get them. Yeah, that's never
Starting point is 00:23:00 going to sell, is it? No, it didn't. It only got as high as $1 that sale. Well, the guy should have sold them. I mean, he's never going to get a better price than that. He didn't. It only got as high as $1, that sale. Well, the guy should have sold them. I mean, he's never going to get a better price than that. He should have sold two of them. At least got $2.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Anything else? Hologram Jesus. Hologram Jesus? It's a 3D picture card of the Turing Trout, which, as we all know, never touched Jesus. No. It was carbon dated. It was only shown to be a couple of hundred years old
Starting point is 00:23:24 or something daft in the end. Yeah, it was made up. Yes. So this one sold for £9.99. Old Playboy magazines. One careful owner. How careful? Well, the page is open, so there's no sticky residue.
Starting point is 00:23:37 There's no shroud of turrent kind of sticky mess on there. Oh, look. They must have used this magazine to cover a man's groin. Gross. But they're old Playboys. 40-year-old they were. So, you know, 60s era. Yeah, vintage.
Starting point is 00:23:51 They go for... They're worth something, aren't they? Yeah, I think so. Well, what did they sell for? They sold... The whole thing went for $10. And they were in good condition. How many of them?
Starting point is 00:24:01 Oh, that's a good point. It doesn't actually say. I think there's not many. Okay. I think maybe four or five. Playboy. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:08 So that's the thing. Playboy used to have distinguished writers. Oh, yeah. Writing articles, serious essays. And sci-fi short stories. I think Philip K. Dick wrote a few stuff there. Yes. Or I know Richard Matheson did.
Starting point is 00:24:19 Matheson did. Yeah. And I think Gore Vidal. Rod Serling, I think, did as well. Robert Anton Wilson used to be the editor. Yeah. Anyway, my point is... Are you listening to the roundabout way of saying, I bought it for the articles?
Starting point is 00:24:30 No, that used to be the excuse. That was the excuse, yeah. My point is, there's none of that in porn. There's none of that now. You know, some wide-ranging interests. If I go online, it's all just anal, isn't it? I'd like, why don't they do that? Not all anal.
Starting point is 00:24:45 It depends on your search engine. But why don't they do that? Not all anal, depends on your search engine. But why don't they do, you know, put some like, footnotes on the video. Well-considered essays that are running down the sides. Because no one really, okay, so no one really looks at porn in terms of magazines anymore. The you-chiz generation, you know, the you-porn generation, they watch the videos.
Starting point is 00:25:01 What they need to do, theoretically, is add little bits of science facts to the bottom of the videos. So, you know, when someone's getting penetrated in all their holes, at the little bottom it says do you know the sea not is the largest sea not in the world? It's the giddiest book of records it bloody well is. Well, I'd like some sci-fi
Starting point is 00:25:18 short stories. Yeah. The number one weirdest thing sold on eBay? Invisibility. See, this is just for mugs. Yeah, it says here, Become invisible. This is not a toy, a magic trick, or a scam. Which means it's definitely a magic trick and a scam. This is not an illusion, a rip-off, or ninja technique.
Starting point is 00:25:35 Or at least it's not a ninja technique. No lies become 100% invisible. The secret invisibility renders you completely invisible. The method is currently used by the CIA and foreign intelligence agencies. Don't scoff. You can go anywhere at any time and never be seen. You're invisible to all you meet, not even a shadow. This works when you're completely surrounded by cameras or people.
Starting point is 00:25:58 Let you vanish and reappear whenever you like. It's a best kept secret for thousands of years. Oh, so it's like magic. It can't be technological then. No, and it says for moral purposes only. It has a picture of an invisible man
Starting point is 00:26:11 looking up a lady's dress. Does it really? Yeah. That's just like the X-Ray specs you used to get back at comic books, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:26:18 Yeah. It's just like some idiot buys it. It's bullshit. You could see through girls' clothes with this. No, you'll have
Starting point is 00:26:24 a pair of dodgy glasses that someone's put a weird feather over the top of is that what they were it's weird kind of little feathery thing that made things look ghostly oh it wasn't actually yeah so obviously it's a scam it's just how much does someone pay for it you know what's interesting about that is that there is no price on this at all which means ebay probably had one look at that and went uh you're not selling that you can sell your nazi memor that and went, you're not selling that. You can sell your Nazi memorabilia, mate, but you're not selling an invisible potion.
Starting point is 00:26:50 There you go. That's the weirdest thing. Actually, the weirdest thing I ever found on eBay, this is what I found, was a taxidermy mouse having a poo on a toilet reading a newspaper. It's a toilet hole. I've got a picture of it here. Do you want to have a quick look? Come on around. It's great. You'll love it.
Starting point is 00:27:06 It's a little white mouse sitting on a little porcelain toilet, reading a newspaper. Ah, they're an old grunt. That's nice. And that's sold for like five quid. Well, I'd pay five quid for that. We all would. Yes. Value.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Value, toilet mouse. Toilet mouse! Toilet mouse! Right, now it's another opportunity for Paul to show his prowess guessing the price of meaningless and cheap items. Yes, it's the price of shite. Let's sing the theme. It's the fucking price of shite. It's the fucking price of shite.
Starting point is 00:27:41 It's the fucking price of shite. Oh, it's the fucking price of shite. I haven't fucked it up. I thought I did it right that time. It's the fucking price of Shite. It's the fucking Price of Shite. Oh, it's the fucking Price of Shite. Oh, you fucked it up so badly. I thought I did it right that time. It's the fucking Price of Shite. It's the fucking Price of Shite. It's the fucking Price of Shite. Oh, it's the fucking Price of Shite.
Starting point is 00:27:55 And that's right. Thank you. So what have you got for me this week to guess at? First, is... We've got a lovely little spoon. Oh, I love spoons. It's a souvenir spoon. Sp I love spoons. It's a souvenir spoon. Spoon. All right. It's a souvenir spoon, and it's...
Starting point is 00:28:10 My nan used to collect spoons like that. She has a whole cabinet full of dangling spoons from different countries she's been to. This is... Mostly Australia. This is mint in sleeve. It's got a nice sleeve, Arden souvenir sleeve. Oh, it's nice.
Starting point is 00:28:22 The manufacturer. Lovely bit of objet d'art, that. Yeah, and it's a spoon, it's a souvenir, and it's celebrating the town of Porthcawl, which I believe is in Wales. Well, yeah, sounds like it. Can I have a little look, sir? Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:35 Oh, all right. It's got a Welsh dragon on it. Of course. Is that what gave it away, then, that it might have been from Wales? No, I've also... I happen to know that Porthcawl is in Wales. Anyway, so yeah, there you go.
Starting point is 00:28:47 It's a teaspoon. Lovely. And don't be... There is a price on this, Paul. It's not the price that you bought it for. It's not the price I paid. I don't think I'd be that stupid to go ahead with that anyway. Even though I have, in my past, left the prices on stuff during this game.
Starting point is 00:28:59 There you go. There's a spoon. You can't really use this for tea though, because the way it's plated means it would all come off and it's not... Yeah, I don't think you can actually use this the way it's plated means it would all come off. Would it? Yeah, I don't think you can actually use it. Is it silver-plated? Yeah, I think you can get poisoning from it if you use it. So it's simply for souvenir purposes.
Starting point is 00:29:12 It's simply to hang from your cabinet and say, I've been to Porthcawl. And I got a spoon. And I got a spoon. That's tat in the truest sense of the word. Yeah, and it's interesting because it's got a little red dragon on, which is fair enough because it's Wales, which if you don't know, for people listening at home,
Starting point is 00:29:28 Wales are quite big on dragons, even though they don't exist, and they've never had any. And it's got a little boat on, so I'm guessing, obviously it's a port, it's got to be on the coast. It's probably a little nice little seaside town. It's probably got a little pier, maybe a few shops on the front. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:43 A little souvenir shop, and somehow it's wound up in London where someone went, what the fuck did I buy this from? I hate poor Cole. I hate it. Shit, my wife was murdered there. Now. And this was left in her eyes. Can you tell us what the original price was? The original price here, I think it says
Starting point is 00:30:00 33p. 38p. 38p. That's very cheap. I mean, I think that's actually, the scrap metal might be worth that. It says here it's from a place called Richards, News Agents and Stationers, John Street, Porthcourt. I see, that's why. You've got to keep that label on. You know what this means, though? It means that there's about a box of 400 fucking spoons that they couldn't shift during the peak tourism period.
Starting point is 00:30:25 They're like, what are we going to do, 38p? Just get rid of them, John. Get rid of them. They really wanted to get rid of those spoons. Just get rid of them. And so it's an Arden souvenir product, which is a sign of, as we all know, quality spoons. It's in perfect condition. It's really good condition.
Starting point is 00:30:38 So let's get your guess on that one. If you paid any more than 38p for it, then you are a massive sucker. Listen, I'm trying to support the show. Yeah, I know, but... Well, it could be less. I'm going to go with less. I'm going to literally say 10 pence. Okay, that's your guess.
Starting point is 00:30:53 What is item number two on the price of shite? Going with the souvenir theme... I like it. We've got a Colour Master souvenir of Skegness. Yes! I love Skegness. Skegness. And this is like a little booklet of many... Places to go in Skegness. Yes! I love Skegness. Skegness. And this is like
Starting point is 00:31:05 a little booklet of mini... Places to go in Skegness. Well, yes. The sites of Skegness. It folds out. And it folds out. And you've got all of these
Starting point is 00:31:14 mini postcards that comprise... Of the sites and sounds of Skeggy. And they're serrated edges so you could actually use these as postcards. Oh, wow. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:22 And by, oh, wow, I mean... Yeah. Now, you'd think, oh, I wonder what Skegness is like. Yeah. And by, oh, wow, I mean... Now, you'd think, oh, I wonder what Skegness is like. Yeah. And you would be able to see general features, but you'd also be able to see some terrible photoshopped-in families. We've colour-corrected this, so even though every picture we took was in the grey and it was pissing down,
Starting point is 00:31:42 it now looks like it's a sunny day in Skegness. It looks extremely sunny, and there's this one of the waterway in Skegness, and there's a boat there, and it's just not real. There's not a single condom floating in that waterway. No, it just does not look real at all. Or can of pop. It looks like a lovely fantasy land beyond reality. Oh, that's what they want us all.
Starting point is 00:32:02 Boating late there. So I'll hand the item over to you, Paul. Be careful with it. Thank you very much. Delicate. This is my own personal collection. Oh, it's right above Kings Lynn. So it's, you know, north of Norwich.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Skegness. The Colour Master souvenir. And there's always that guy. That guy, he's always on these things. Is he? The overweight kind of sailor with the scarf. And he's skipping. He's skipping along. Do you know what that guy is is called why is he there i don't know he's got a pipe and he's like it looks like he's doing an airplane impression
Starting point is 00:32:32 it's a very weird pose the color master man maybe like you know the end of die hard when alan ripman fell off the roof it's like oh it's that kind of pose like he's falling to his death uh let me have a look the pull Gardens, not a single jumper there. Edwin Hicks show, whatever. It's sad though because this reminds me of where I grew up because there's a place
Starting point is 00:32:49 near me called New Brighton and it was modelled after Brighton as meant to be another seaside resort. You see pictures of it in its heyday with its tower
Starting point is 00:32:56 like a little blackpool tower it had and a boating thing and an Olympic sized pool where they had Miss Wirral kind of competitions and things like that. Now you look at it,
Starting point is 00:33:04 it's just concrete and few cinema and it's all the history has been taken down and replaced by that gentrified kind of everywhere high street look. Very depressing and you kind of want it to be like this. Yeah, you do. You do a little bit. It's very nostalgic that, isn't it? It's got a little roller
Starting point is 00:33:19 coaster and yet a definite photoshop bus, a boat, sorry, on a lake. Yeah, that is, yeah. With what looks like Winston Churchill on the back. Well, he loved Skegness. He did. There's a festival pavilion, which obviously these, you know what?
Starting point is 00:33:36 I think I've performed, I think I've done a gig in Skegness. At the festival pavilion? Yeah, because it looks very familiar. You may well have done. How much did I pay for that piece of shite? Oh, I'm going to say you paid... Also, the illumination, Skegness. One light.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Is it? Well, the clock tower. That's it. I'm going to say you paid 25p. 25p for that item? 25p for the book. For the Skeggy book. And what is the final item?
Starting point is 00:34:07 Final item? How are you going to like this, Paul? Oh. Oh. This is a modular cassette storage system. Fucking love it. And there's five of them. Look, they come apart.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Oh, I like that. They're C-boxes, the thing. For the old C90s or the C180s, depending on the quality. Yeah, cassette. Yeah. And they slot into each other so you can stack them. Yeah, build up a nice selection. And they've got a little button on the front.
Starting point is 00:34:34 Yeah. You press the button. And nothing happens. It's a bit rusty. Not rusty because it's not made of metal. It's plastic. There you go. Oh, it's got cassettes in it.
Starting point is 00:34:41 It's got a tray and the cassette comes out. And you can see I've taken the cassette out yeah now I close it again what's the difference can you see a difference there's a little light that's gone off
Starting point is 00:34:50 it's not a light it's like an actual red button that comes through so you know if that's empty or not you know if it's occupied or not mate
Starting point is 00:34:56 I mean look and look just look they all come apart that's great if this was 1987 I'd be all over that. Every one of those would have a different,
Starting point is 00:35:07 now that's what I call music collection cassette on it. Yeah. You know, with the best hits of Kachagoo Goo, Dollar and Culture Club all stacked atop of each other. It's a physical object. Is that your cassette or was that found in the box? No, that's mine, yeah. Oh, what's on that cassette out of interest?
Starting point is 00:35:22 It just says Seven. Is it you sticking Jolly Ranch to a lady's flange? No, I used to's mine. Oh, what's on that cassette I have interest? It just says Seven. Is it you sticking Jolly Ranch to a lady's flange? No, I used to do that. Actually, this cassette used to belong to that lady. Elvis Mix? Ellie's Mix, it's called. Oh, Ellie's Mix. Her friend was Ellie.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Yeah. Oh, it smells funny by the... There was some kind of gunk on there, but anyway... Ellie's Mix. It's not Ellie's Mix. Is it Ellie's Mix all on the top no this is my girlfriend at the time um had a friend who was a painter called early and this was a mix that she did for her funny a lot of this tunes on this cassette yeah uh now part of my set when i dj because they're
Starting point is 00:35:59 great so would you say that cassette maybe got you into certain types of music it did and sort of northern soul that's good aspect there's a bit of heritage there as well. Yeah, it's good. It's a good mix, that Ellie's mix. Unfortunately, cassettes, they don't last. You can't listen to them now. No. Because they're ruined.
Starting point is 00:36:15 It all fades away. Here's a tape called Eli's Dulux Poo. Right, and what's on that? By my friend Ben. It's mainly Afrofunk. So it's not exactly just you grunting and hearing the plops. They've got all tapes in here just to show it works and have a little
Starting point is 00:36:30 look at that and then guess the price. I'm loving this. Oh, I like this a lot. It's modular. It means it builds in modules. Yeah, you could get, you know, there's five of them there. It's called a C-Box. Yeah, I'd say that. Made in Germany, for sure. It's got German quality engineering.
Starting point is 00:36:45 When the Germans get involved with modular cassette stacking, they're not messing around. No, we're not. Vort sprung durch Technik, my friend. That is literally one of the best tape storage things I've ever seen. I like it a lot. You know what I mean? With a little button action.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Look at the action. The action is really satisfying. Sometimes you wouldn't even want to listen to cassette. You'd just be doing this all day. You'd just play with it. Listener, listen to this. In, in, and listen to the out. Oh!
Starting point is 00:37:13 Oh! Got a proper Jolly Rancher on with that. I'm going to guess. That's what you need to do. I'm going to guess. That's probably the most expensive item on here, but not by much. I'm going to say that was 150. All right, so.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Shall we see how you've done? For the spoon, I said 10 pence for the spoon. How correct or not was I? 50p. Oh, I was well off. And this book of Skegness imagery. 50p. Oh, I was off with that as well.
Starting point is 00:37:37 I was half off by that. Oh, that's 50p and all. All right, what's the last one? 75p. Oh, I was literally wrong by 50% on nearly every single one of these. Oh, I'm disappointed
Starting point is 00:37:48 because I was spot on. You didn't do too good. I'm never going to get on smash in the attic or whatever it's fucking called these days. Smashing the attic. I mean, cash in the attic.
Starting point is 00:37:55 Smash would just be, I've got a load of potatoes upstairs. Don't know what to do with it. Make some smash. Yeah, a couple of robots. They're up there. No one's getting this.
Starting point is 00:38:06 No one's getting this. It's a decade. It was called yesteryear. 80s references only on this episode. Oh, well, I did try my best. But that was a good selection. Thank you. That was a very good selection.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Thank you. And there'll be photos of those available? There'll be photos on our Twitter feed and on my personal Instagram feed as well, I think. I'll put them on there. I'm called Gannon World on Instagram. You can follow me. It's mostly pictures of me in my ill-fitting Ghostbusters uniform.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Right. You may remember last episode we were speaking to Ash and he got cut off because he's an idiot. And let me just check if he's still on the phone right now. Let's have a look. Ash, are you there? Ash, come through to me. That is dumb.
Starting point is 00:38:51 Sorry. Okay, so this is a good one. Michigan millionaire Wellington Burt used his will to put his enormous wealth out of the reach of his family for almost a full century. This guy, he died in 1919. He wrote it into his will. He had a lot of money millions of pounds he left his money to the uh the grand his great grandchild so he said i will no one can touch any of this money until my last grandchild is dead i just love that but not the great grandchild well he doesn't know the great
Starting point is 00:39:24 grandchild he's hoping that they're worthy. He didn't like his children or grandchildren, so he trusted his great-grandchildren would be good. That's clever, though, right? His final grandchild died in 1989, but then they had to wait 21 years for someone to be old enough to have it. And so that was in Novembermber 2010 when uh 12 people
Starting point is 00:39:47 discovered that they were his benefactors whoa which is really weird and they called it a legacy of bitterness that sounds like the worst film i've ever heard of ever it may be a legacy of bitterness but still buy you a lot of uh maybe that's what star wars episode eight's going to be called star wars legacy of bitterness, Legacy of Bitterness. Well, it could be, after what happened in the last one. No spoilers, no spoilers. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. They each got about £11 million each.
Starting point is 00:40:18 Wow. So imagine that just out of nowhere. Your great-great-granddad, who you never knew, and they just go, well, he's 11 million pounds, he's asking you. And you know what? I hope all of them as well are massive pricks. Like worse than their original.
Starting point is 00:40:30 Like they're all, you know, gamblers and murderers and rapists. They all just sort of hire out a bit of land and then smash up a bunch of cars. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:39 They get all the poor people in the local village to come to their house and they set fire to it. They fritter it. Yeah. They're all in the KL house and they set fire to it. They fritter it. Yeah. They're all in the KLF. They're good there, that band, though.
Starting point is 00:40:50 Last Train to Trans Central. I like KLF. What? Did you ever see that documentary about them burning the million quid? No. That was the Joker. That was what he was referring to. You laughed, Paul.
Starting point is 00:41:03 You laughed. You fake. I didn't fake laugh. I thought you were talking about the band. No, I thought you were talking about the band. No was what he's referring to. You laughed, Paul. You laughed. I didn't fake laugh. I thought you were talking about the band. No, I thought you were talking about the band. It is the band. It is the band. The band had a million pounds
Starting point is 00:41:12 because they made a lot of money. And then one of their videos, they burnt the million pounds in a furnace. They went to an island. They went off to an island. So I laughed at the right reason, but for also the wrong reason. Yeah, yeah, you didn't know the fact.
Starting point is 00:41:27 Basically, I've seen they made a documentary about it. They did not look happy after they'd done it. They were trying to make a point. There was a 90s band called Manson that did a video as well called Taxman. And for that video, they threw all that money into a train station or something? Yeah, Liverpool Street Station, they threw 50 grand in cash uh uh the passengers as they got rush hour in the morning uh because that meant they then it was there it was literally the tax
Starting point is 00:41:55 loss so they didn't have to pay the taxman that money they just threw the 50 grand off the edge that's incredible we should all do that um you should hang around train stations eli in case music bands are filming pop videos or in case one of my relatives dies or something yeah do you have any rich relatives who hate their relatives and you're the last relative well the thing is you wouldn't know would you no you wouldn't know you wouldn't know um right so then uh there's a guy called uh i i'm pretty sure i've got this right this name is a portuguese aristocrat called luis carlos de noronha cabral de camara that's easy for you to say he had millions of pounds and he just chose 70 strangers randomly out of the lisbon phone directory and gave them his entire fortune.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Wow. Oh, God. And one of the people who benefacted said, and this is a quote, so I'd say maybe thank you or that's an incredible thing to have done. Yeah. But this guy who got the money said, I have never heard of the man.
Starting point is 00:42:59 That's the last question you'd ask, isn't it? Yeah, exactly. When you get a tax rebate you never go i've never heard of the tax company i've never heard of you know you go thank you yeah thank you very much he was lovely yes yes best mate so that does give you hope doesn't it that gives you hope the fact that there might be just someone who's going to give you a fortune just because they cannot be bothered to give it to anyone else oh oh those kind of things only happen in fairy tales though and lisbon and lisbon apparently yeah which you
Starting point is 00:43:32 know it's not proper money is it it's all euros now that's true i went to lisbon um at the end of last year and we went to an american diner and it was like, this is the American diner. Everything about it looked like an American diner. Then they served just slop. It was as far from an American diner as you've ever seen. There weren't even fries with a meal. I had a plate full of brown slop. Eli's licking his lips. You know what?
Starting point is 00:44:01 I don't want to get all sort of... Sexy. Prejudiced here. Right. But you're the second person who I know who's complained about the food in Portugal. Oh. Yes. Well, maybe there's a trend starting. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Maybe we need to, you know, shake our sticks. I was in Lisbon Airport in transit and had a panini. It was overpriced. Wasn't too bad, though. Another great Eli Silverman story. It's as good as mine. Well, we had a really weird thing where we were doing a gig in Lisbon and when we took off,
Starting point is 00:44:36 it was about, I think it's a two-hour flight and the gig started in two hours. So when we were taking off, we were like, because we were so delayed, we were like, well, there's no way that this is going to happen, but we want to go to Lisbon anyway. So we were in the air, and then actually when we were in the air,
Starting point is 00:44:52 I think the gig had started, we were a bit delayed whilst we were in the air. So when we landed, it was about 20 minutes before we were actually meant to be on stage. So there was a guy just waiting in the airport going, come on, come on, come on, you've got to go, you've got to go. We got in this car. I've never been more scared in the fact that he's driving across the thing. Excuse me. We literally ran through the doors of the venue
Starting point is 00:45:18 and then directly onto stage to perform. And then the weird thing was we sort of finished what we were doing. No, gig went ahead. But the guy, the MC, he was just, because it was with the boy with tape on his face. He was headlining the show. So the guy, the MC was just stalling.
Starting point is 00:45:37 There's about 2,000 people in this arena. And the guy is just stalling. He starts singing his song. And I just turned to the guy who's like running, and went, is this guy any good? And he's like, oh, yeah, he's one of the best comedians in Portugal. He's like, oh, he has been on stage for a long time. He's sitting there laughing.
Starting point is 00:45:55 I'm not laughing anymore. Memories are the corners of my mind. Just anything to fill time. But then we did the gig, finished, and then literally when I got some food, went to bed, woke up and left Lisbon. My entire time in Lisbon was me running, sleeping or eating.
Starting point is 00:46:14 So there you go. He still did better than me. I ate a panini and had the terrible horn. This is on the way back. God, it was horrendous. Your horn? Yeah. Well, you know, she took a picture.
Starting point is 00:46:29 I wouldn't, no, I didn't mean like that. Oh. It was just weird, you know. It's one of those things, you're tired, you're hungover. You're aroused. Who's that guy, Hugh? Laurie. Huge.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Hugh Hefner. Hugh Hefner. No, Hugh Grant. Hugh Grant. It's the Hugh Grant defence, isn't it? He gets the serious horn when he's hung over. That explains that prostitute, I think. That's what he said.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Oh, I get this terrible, terrible horn. I think he's always got a terrible, terrible horn. The stories I've heard about him, which are probably litigious or slanderous, but he has always got a terrible horn. All right, Ash, thank you very much for your time. Take care and we'll speak to you next time on the show. I love you both very dearly.
Starting point is 00:47:15 I know you do. Five pound in the post to you. Bye. Bye. We're going to be here. here and to end today's episode I've got a thing
Starting point is 00:47:32 called the charity shop challenge where I'm going to go to a charity shop I'm going to buy a toy a challenge a game something like that and we'll pit each other
Starting point is 00:47:39 against each other obviously that's what that means yeah and see who comes out on top now okay it'll be me we'll see because each other, obviously. That's what that means. See who comes out on top. Okay, it'll be me. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:47:53 We'll see, because there are many number of board games available, anything from simple pick-up sticks, Guess Who, Kaplung, that kind of stuff. I've gone a bit classy for our first time out, because you know how much I love 80s nostalgia and 80s shit, like Little and Large. Shit. Anything that's awful, light entertainment based. Yes, you love that stuff. I'm obsessed. I don't even know why. I'm not proud of it. I don't think, best of British. Yeah, I love Little and Large. Fucking classy.
Starting point is 00:48:14 They were awful. They really were very bad. Awful. Can I tell you my favourite story about Little and Large? Eddie Large, right? The rotund one. Yes. Big fan of Manchester City. And I don't know if I got all the details right, but here's the story. He went to see Manchester City and I don't know if I got all the details right but here's the story he went to see Manchester City play
Starting point is 00:48:27 because he's a huge fan of them right and at the half time in this football match they were like 2-0 up you know they were beating
Starting point is 00:48:34 whoever this team was so Eddie Large was like I'm going to go down to the dressing room and speak to the team and give them a pep talk so he goes to the manager and goes
Starting point is 00:48:42 I'm Eddie Large off the telly you know me little you know I do all the you he goes to the manager and goes, I'm Eddie Large off the telly, you know, me little, you know, I do all the, you know, me. And the manager's like,
Starting point is 00:48:48 yeah, all right. So Eddie Large goes into the dressing room at halftime, goes to every single player and gives them each a different impression
Starting point is 00:48:55 telling them good luck. So, you know, like, I'm Deputy Dog. I hope you do well. And then, one, one, one, one, one. Goes around the whole thing
Starting point is 00:49:03 and then gives them a pep talk long story short by the end of the match Man City were 3-2 down yeah so they lost yeah good what a bastard
Starting point is 00:49:12 anyway so this is what I went to the YMCA in Southampton they have a great selection of board games there really do
Starting point is 00:49:19 you mean the YMCA charity shop yeah the YMCA charity shop not like the YMCA bumming in the showers doesn't that alright you can have a good time that's what it says You mean the YMCA charity shop? Yeah, the YMCA charity shop. Not like the YMCA bumming in the showers. You can have a good time. That's what it says. You can get nice and clean.
Starting point is 00:49:32 That's what it says. I think you're projecting, mate. I thought that's going on. You're like, I'm fucking... You can have the shower. Jolly Rancher. Whatever. Anyway, so without any further ado, I've picked a board game based on a television.
Starting point is 00:49:43 One of my favourite 80s UK TV shows. And it's this one. Oi! Oi! Bullseye! For people who might be listening in America who have no fucking clue what Balls Eye means, does or whatever, it's a quiz show, right?
Starting point is 00:50:10 Yeah. With teams of contestants. Darts themed quiz show. Darts themed quiz show. The idea would be one would be the person who answers all the general knowledge, all the questions, and the other member of the team would throw darts.
Starting point is 00:50:21 And you'd whittle the three teams down to one and they'd play on a prize board where they threw darts at a board to win a selection of prizes. It was a special board, though. A special board. With only red and black sections and the bullseye.
Starting point is 00:50:32 One in the red, two in the red, one in the red, one in the brown, don't go to town, whatever that one is. Pink, not brown. I don't know what the thing was.
Starting point is 00:50:38 But the idea was, it was weird because it was one of these very Northern British kind of attitude to it, wasn't it? Yeah, it was good fun. Yeah, and so, you know, it was one of these very northern British kind of attitudes to it, wasn't it? Yeah, it was good fun. Yeah, and so it was general knowledge and darts throwing.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Now, to give people who have never seen Bullseye an idea of what was on the special prize board, I've downloaded one of my favourite lists. And this is a genuine list of all the prizes on the board. This is the 80s. So obviously standards were different then. It wasn't like thousands of pounds or luxurious breaks. on the board, right? This is the 80s. So obviously standards were different then. It wasn't like thousands of pounds or, you know, luxurious breaks. So this is the Bully Pride Board.
Starting point is 00:51:10 This is from the 80s. I don't know which episode exactly, but this is a list, just a sample, a random sample of what you could get on Bullseye's prize board. Bully's prize board for you now, boys.
Starting point is 00:51:19 Let's see what he's got for you tonight. In one. Mum can sit there and have a good doze and wake up and find she's got sparkling clothes with this automatic washing machine. In two. When those youngsters come to sum it all up, life will be a lot easier for them with this kiddies computer. In three. Shh, this is for your ears only. It's a personal stereo. In four. Here's something that'll bring you down to earth. It's a super set of garden tools. In five.
Starting point is 00:51:48 Aye, aye, skipper. Put it there, in this pine captain's trunk. Ha-ha, Jim. In six. This prize could be a real catch. It's a complete Anglis kit. In seven. See it, snap it, then see it again, on film, with this Polaroid camera. In seven. See it, snap it, then see it again on film with this Polaroid camera.
Starting point is 00:52:06 In eight. You'll score elevenses out of tenses if you take home with you this coffee maker. And bully special prize. You'll economise on everything except fresh air on this super motor scooter. Oh, motor scooter. What would you like out of that? The angling set, obviously. The captain's trunk chest, which is just a big wooden box.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Yeah. You know, I like the fact that it's, shh, this music's just for you. Full volume, every fucker could hear anything you were listening to on a walk-in in those days. Oh, mate, such great prizes. The thing is, they don't just say, it's a cabinet, it's a washing machine. It's like, we've got to think of a crap gag. So we've got this knives and fork set to sell. All right.
Starting point is 00:52:46 So you'll be cut up if you don't get this prize. It's this knife and fork set. Or I'll give you one. I'll give you an item. You have to come up with a witty gag for it. Let me think. Not as stupid. I'll come up with something that you would have gotten.
Starting point is 00:52:57 Okay. So, okay. A policeman teddy bear. All right. A policeman teddy bear is the prize. What would you say? Let's be having you. Let's be having you.
Starting point is 00:53:04 It's where this bear lives if he is in a house. I'm sorry, Mr. Silverman, you will not be getting the job. So what we're going to do is we're going to play a round of it based on the board game. Now, with the board game you get, again, pictures. Do you like the bits we have on you? It's good, actually. I know, yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:21 Yeah, in fact, if you go online on YouTube, you can find a video of us doing Bullseye live. Remember when we did it at Geekatorium? And there's that whole list of prizes we had. So check that out. I can't remember what it is, but if you put Geekatorium, Bullseye,
Starting point is 00:53:33 and look for that, you'll probably find prize board. You'll probably find it. Anyway, the point being is that we're going to play the board game version. Now, it comes with a dart board, but not a proper dart board. It comes with a magnetic mat and magnetic darts.
Starting point is 00:53:45 And it works quite well. You can throw the darts and do things. So what I'm going to do is the first round. So the board has two sides. Should I go first? Yeah, side one has a dartboard shape. And it's got, I think, 12 categories. One, two, three, four.
Starting point is 00:53:57 It's got 10 categories. And then I get a question. Yeah. So what's going to happen is you're going to throw a dart. You have to tell me what category it is. So can you read them out for me? What are the categories that are on there? The categories we've got are Britain, spelling, people, places, sport, showbiz, affairs, history, books, words.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Interesting. So they're the categories, right? And you can get 30 for the outer ring 50 for the inner ring 10 for the centre ring And the bullseye is I think 200 Yes it is 200 It is
Starting point is 00:54:31 So what's going to happen Is you're going to throw a dart You have to call the category out first Throw it Whatever it lands on You get the point And then if you answer a question right You get a further 30 points
Starting point is 00:54:39 For that answering the question right Okay However if you miss the category You have to answer the one you land on I don't understand these rules. No, basically, if you say people and you end up hitting places instead, you don't get the points on the board,
