CheapShow - Ep 218: Beans!

Episode Date: February 19, 2021

It's was meant to be a podcast about beans. Could Eli possibly taste the difference between the classic Heinz Baked Beans and some cheap "off brand" alternatives? It should have been simple, but there... is a shocking twist and a terrible reveal this week that could cause major problems for CheapShow later on down the line! In amongst the narrative carnage, the cheap chaps find time to roll out a pretty typical Tales from the Shop Floor and pack in a Gannon's Golden Games. It's... It's not one of his best, but if you want to hear Eli try to impersonate 6 different 80s UK Light Entertainers, then are you in for a treat! Be Afraid, be VERY afraid!

Starting point is 00:00:00 Have you done five seconds? Don't look at me like that! I'm not telling you a thing. Sit down. Have we started? Have we? Fucking what? I've not... Sit down. Class is about to begin and I'm going to school your ass. Oh yeah?
Starting point is 00:00:16 What with? With my majestic company. Just the very fact that I exist is enough for you to sit down. You've started the podcast, haven't you, Paul? Yes, I have. Right, hello, everybody. Hello, everybody. Welcome to Cheap Show, the economy comedy podcast. We go through the bargain bins, the charity shops and pound lands of Great Britain,
Starting point is 00:00:34 and we go looking for the treasure amongst the trash. That's good, yeah. Well done. I thought you might have said something. You know what? I don't know. More interesting. This is where I'm always at at this point in the recording, Paul. Yeah. Because you've gone, ooh, are we starting? I don't know. More interesting. This is where I'm always at at this point in the recording, Paul.
Starting point is 00:00:45 Yeah. Because you've gone, ooh, are we starting? I don't know. Ooh, and then you give me a weird look and fucking put me off, basically. Why don't you put your foot down and take control and maybe lead for once in your miserable, hairy, short existence. Shall I lead? Why don't you lead?
Starting point is 00:01:00 Well, let's just forget that. You set the tone. Frankly, mediocre rendition of the opening gambit. And I'll have a go at the gambit. You gambit away. I'll have a go at the spiel. Yeah, hobbit away. No, just remind me before I start.
Starting point is 00:01:12 Yeah, of what facts that you should know for five years. We say cheap show, me, you. And then what do we say? The economy comedy podcast where we go through the bargain bins, the charity shops and pound lands of Great Britain and look for the treasure amongst the trash. What about for your ears? Do you say that anymore? Sometimes. It depends on my mood.
Starting point is 00:01:28 It's up to you. You take control, mate. This is up to you now. Eli Silverman sets the tone for Cheap Show, episode 218. Here we go. Hello. Welcome to Cheap Show. I'm Eli Silverman.

Exciting times. I don't know. You know, we're getting the call at some point he's working through a very difficult schedule at the moment paul i know but he does have his ways he's doing
Starting point is 00:04:11 dead drops that's how i'm getting the messages now what are dead drops it's where you you drop you drop something and it's got a message on it's spycraft it's uh right what do they call it i don't know work craft what do they call it what are you't know. Workcraft. What do they call it? What are you talking about? You know, when you're a spy. Right, spy work. Spycraft. But it's not called craft. They don't call it spycraft.
Starting point is 00:04:31 They might. No, because everyone would go, what are you saying spycraft for? Are you a spy or something? Hello, welcome to QVC. This hour is spycraft. Look at this lovely bowl with James Bond painted on. 007.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Licensed to thrill. A party for a dinner selection. Oh, can I get that on Etsy? Yes, you can. It is only £39.99 and you can get it now. If you buy now, you get this Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy T-shirt. I was in the market for a wicker basket in the shape of a submarine. We do not do those because they are not, strictly speaking, spycraft. What do you mean it's not a spycraft? It's a submarine. We do not do those because they are not, strictly speaking,
Starting point is 00:05:05 spy craft. What do you mean it's not a spy craft? It's a submarine. I don't know why I'm on the TV, love. I don't know who you're talking to, love.
Starting point is 00:05:13 I don't know who I am. So yeah, we're doing that. So Brandoff, we might expect... All I'm saying, a dead drop, Paul, is where a spy... Right.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Oh yeah, that. Gets a message to someone else by dropping, you know, it's in a hole in a tree on Hampstead Heath or something. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You just have to be careful which hole you pick. Yeah, here we go. Someone full of old cum spam.
Starting point is 00:05:39 So then someone else comes along and picks it up. Yeah, it's a dead drop. But, you know, for information or microfiche or something like that. So someone who works for Brandoff has been leaving notes in trees on Hampstead Heath for you to collect in the dark. Basically, yes. Okay, good to know. By the pond.
Starting point is 00:05:52 And what's the latest message? The ladies' pond. The bathing pond. Yes, the ladies' bathing pond. And as you can see, it's difficult for me to go in there undercover. That's why you have to go at night, isn't it? Yes. And take your clothes off.
Starting point is 00:06:04 And have a little swim. And have a little swim. I don't think there's a fucking dead drop there at all. I do. I come in there undercover. That's where you have to go at night, isn't it? Yes. And take your clothes off. And have a little swim. And have a little swim. I don't think there's a fucking dead drop there at all. No, I do. I come in a tree. I come in the toad tree. You come in a toad...
Starting point is 00:06:11 You know what? I'm putting a stop to this. I'm putting a stop to this. And then I have a little midnight dippy dip. Skinny dip. On Hampstead Heath. And then I towel myself down.
Starting point is 00:06:21 Yeah. Making special sure that I've lost... This is me doing the move it along hand gesture. I'm waving to the camera. Camera's not on. Yeah. Making special sure that I've lost. This is me doing the move it along hand gesture. I'm waving to the camera. Camera's not on. All right.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Right, remember that. I've finished. Good. All I'm saying is... Yes, you have. Mr. Brandoff, he's out of jail, basically. Do you mean he's out of jail? He's out of jail.
Starting point is 00:06:39 He's not out of jail. He's been banged up for life. No, no, he got out, though. How did he get out? It's something to do with that magic curse. He's very shaky and weird. jail he's been banged up for life no no he got out though how did he get out it's about it's that something to do with that magic curse that is he's he's very shaky and weird and he seems to be inhabited by a different spirit altogether but right well this is two things i'm going to bring you up on one that's not canon christmas special fantasy episode two uh what do you mean that's
Starting point is 00:07:00 not canon listen you don't fucking decide what's canon. What's this out there? Secondly, he wasn't possessed by anything. If you'd listened to the actual episode. I'm inventing new lore where he is possessed. The only lore you're inventing is forlorn comments in my mind. All right, what have we got? Come on, give me something. So we're also going to be playing a Ganon's Golden Games as brought to you by successful new YouTube channel, Ganonland. Oh, Ganon's Golden Games, as brought to you by successful new YouTube channel, Ganonland.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Oh, Ganonland Golden Games. Actually, before we go on, we've already had two entries for our Eurovision 2021. Oh, heating up already. Quick plan of attack. It looks like we're going to be doing this live on Friday.
Starting point is 00:07:37 I think it's the 21st of May, which is the Friday directly before the Saturday night Eurovision competition. So we're going to go out live like we did episode 200, on Twitch if the lockdown, you know, if all that comes to pass, then we will be doing a live Eurovision 2021.
Starting point is 00:07:53 We've already got two entries and we're looking for songs of any sort, but you get extra points if they're based on Cheap Show in some way. Ideally, but, you know, it's not a law. One minute minimum, two minute maximum. I think that's about fine. Yeah, I think that's about right. I'd say one minute 30 to two minutes. All right. Right. That's not a law. One minute minimum, two minute maximum. Is that what you're saying? I think that's about fine. Yeah, I think that's about right. I'd say one minute 30 to two minutes. All right.
Starting point is 00:08:08 Right? That's what I think. If you've got a gem that's only a minute, I mean, in and out. No, all I'm saying is I don't want to press play. I mean, I've done it, I'm out. I don't want to just hit press play and then there's a five second track of you going,
Starting point is 00:08:18 re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-spoffy. Yeah. We don't need that. Listen, do you know what? I don't say spoff anymore. Can I just let this be known? I don't talk about Spoff. I never talked about Spoff.
Starting point is 00:08:28 It was you. It was you all along. I'm going to say Spaff or Sladge from now on. I'm going to say Grizzly Gizzardfish. Gizzardfish. Yeah, me Grizzly Gizzardfish. What, is that your knob? Well, that's not what we're talking about.
Starting point is 00:08:40 We're talking about Sputnik. No, I don't call my penis the Grizzly Fizzle Sputnik. Here we go. here we go. Here we go. We both know what we're talking about, right? So, we're doing Ganondorf games.
Starting point is 00:08:53 I'm sick of spoff. Just spoff this, spoff that. That's all I'm saying. Right, good. I'm moving forward. And we are attempting to play a game today based on a Channel 4 quiz show
Starting point is 00:09:00 I'd never heard of hosted by Terry Wogan. It's quite ironic that you've never heard of it. Considering the title. Yes. Because the title's called what, Eli? Terry Rogan's Total...
Starting point is 00:09:10 Terry Rogan's... Terry Logan. Terry fucking... Twat. Terry Wogan's Total Recall. Yeah, that is the correct answer. Thank you. We'll be playing that.
Starting point is 00:09:20 I'll be spapping your badass. And I'll be spraying you with my grizzly gizzard fish. I'll be oiling you. It's time for Tales from the Shop Floor. Yay! Tales from the Shop Floor, Tales from the Shop Floor, Tales from the Shop Floor. And this one's from a chap called Stuart Moulding. And he opens with this gambit. Dear Eli and his sidekick Paul.
Starting point is 00:09:39 Yes. Aren't you witty, Stuart? Do you want me to read this, Stuart? Do you want me with that attitude? I'll read it, Paul. Do you want to? Yeah. Go on. Hello, Stuart? Do you want me to read this, Stuart? Do you want me with that attitude? I'll read it, Paul. Do you want to? Yeah. Hello, Stuart.
Starting point is 00:09:47 Thank you. Remember to talk into the mic when you do this because you have a habit of, when you read, drifting off like an old man. Coco time. Coco time. I just see you and you just go, ah. Look, I'm just performing, Paul.
Starting point is 00:10:01 You know, the moose. The moose takes me. Hit me with it. Dear Eli and his sidekick, Paul. Ha, ha, ha,ose. The moose takes me. Hit me with it. Dear Eli and his sidekick Paul. Ha ha ha ha. Witty stuff, Stuart. Here's a short tale of something that happened to me during my days working in retail. It is tales from the shop floor, after all.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I'm going to stop with these introductions. Yeah, it is unnecessary. And also, if you do want to send us one, it's thecheapshowatgmail.com. Back in 2001, I worked for a sports shop situated in a well-known essex shopping center that may have been formerly known as freeport what the the shopping center was formerly known as freeport or essex you know which one that is but no my blue
Starting point is 00:10:35 water ash might know freeport that sounds like a colonial it also sounds like a shit 70s somewhere in jamaica or something yeah sounds like a colonial 70s prog band. Somewhere in Jamaica or something. Yeah. Sounds like a colonial port, doesn't it? Ladies and gentlemen, with the latest hit, Carbon Seagull. It's Freeport. Oh, free. I'm free as the wind. I want to go swimming with the dolphins. I'm sorry?
Starting point is 00:10:56 What's this we're listening to now? Carry on. Right. Freeport, yeah. Back then, new stock deliveries would turn up during the early hours of the morning, and the cages full of sporting clothing, etc., would be left in the back room by the delivery driver, ready for us to sort out when we turned up later. Okay, fair enough.
Starting point is 00:11:18 You're following this, are you, Paul? I'm so far just about following it. We're both on the train with Stuart, and we're going along. Chuff, chuff. Chuff, chuff.'re going along chuff chuff chuff chuff chuff during one summer some building work that was being carried out meant that the delivery would be brought in through the front doors oh dear and left on the shop floor instead it's not take so let's just recap here paul the stuff's not coming in
Starting point is 00:11:40 i want to recap it's coming around the back usually come, I think I want a recap. I want a recap. It's coming around the back usually. Today, what's different? Delivery's not coming around the back. It's coming around the front and they're being left on the shop floor. So we both know where we are in the story. Freeport. Was that a group you made up there?
Starting point is 00:11:59 Yeah. With the song Carbon Seagull. Okay. I am singing with the seagulls. A chippy, chippy, boop, boop, quack. Carbon Seagull okay i am singing with the seagulls a chippy chippy quack carbon seagull yeah okay it's like that john livingston seagull but vastly inferior what was john livingston seagull was it a book about a seagull who flies like some kind of health self-help message yeah yeah fuck that and it was hidden to a song or an album, I think. Yeah. Yeah. I hate that.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Now, we're not flock of seagulls. No. I have to say, Stuart, you've taken two quite wordy, bloody paragraphs here to come to what? Now we're at the beginning of the tale and only one paragraph left to go. Well, maybe we'd be there sooner if you hadn't recapped every sentence you fucking said. He's buried the lead deep in this third paragraph. Right, okay. Well then, how about you just carry on reading?
Starting point is 00:12:50 I want to know. What do you think? I don't think. Is there poo? Is there pee? Is there sludge? What do you mean? You know what?
Starting point is 00:12:57 Carry on. Do I mean sludge? Carry on. Right. I will. I have no interest in your sludge. One morning, about 8am, we all turned up for work, ready to move the delivery out the back and start unpacking it. Right. However, upon opening the door into the shop, we were not only greeted by about seven cages of stock, but also the overwhelming stench of human waste.
Starting point is 00:13:16 Oh dear, hang on. Wait, the shop's closed up? Yeah. But there's a smell of shit? Well, they delivered. They delivered shit? Well, we don't know, but the smell of it is there, along with the cages full of stock.
Starting point is 00:13:27 Right. It didn't take us long to find the source of the odour. Underneath the sports bag display, which was by the front doors, we found a T-shirt lying on the floor, all rolled up. Oh, my God! OK, so they've come in, there are boxes, there's a smell of shit... And they followed their nose. Like sniffer dogs
Starting point is 00:13:45 well you would it's really bad it's like a nightmare isn't it oh yeah it really is like a night it's like the ending of seven but with a shit in a t-shirt what's in the t-shirt what's in the t-shirt this was weird as the shop was tidied the night before as always and anything found on the floor was hung back up where it belonged. So they tidy up, yeah. As one of my colleagues stupidly picked up the shirt, it unrolled and out fell a solid and slightly crusty shirt.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Oh, God. That's good. Better than, you know, diarrhea. What, like the slurry? You know, you can imagine unrolling it and like if there was wet enough, it would flick off towards people, wouldn't it?
Starting point is 00:14:25 Oh, it's like that scene from Trainspotting. Do you know what I mean? That's exactly what I was thinking of, thank you. Instead,
Starting point is 00:14:31 it kind of rolled out in a quite presentable manner. I take it all back, Stuart. I love the build up. You know, and like, it was quite surprising
Starting point is 00:14:40 that it was like, slightly crusty and in one bit. Which means, you know, solid diet this beast must have been a good eight to ten inches in length it looks like a big fucking old-fashioned rolling pin it seems the delivery driver had taken short been taken short i like that expression it
Starting point is 00:14:59 seems the delivery driver had been taken short during the delivery and left us with an extra item there must have been other ways to get rid of a shit. Because your job's on the line. How are you going to get away with that? Well, not just take you in a van or whatever. Oh, it's one of their T-shirts. He didn't want to steal the T-shirt. That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:15:14 Yeah, but instead he left his shit in the shop. Yeah, but it's worse. It's worse. I know. I know it's worse, Paul. But if someone steals a T-shirt, there are numerous suspects because who works there, who comes in and out they know you are a delivery driver and you take a shit on in the shop and roll it up and hide it everyone knows it's you that's the thing everyone knows it's you he can't
Starting point is 00:15:35 have been very happy with his job if he did that he could have why didn't he go to a like a toilet or why didn't he get I don't know like an empty carton of milk and trying and you know what's helping your argument here, Paul, is the fact that it was crusty and solid because that would, you know, you usually have more control over those big hard babies. Do you know what I mean? The thing is, I'm trying to imagine...
Starting point is 00:15:56 You could hold that in. They get a lot of purchase when you go for the double sucker. Yeah, but you can get spasms from that. Have you ever had those arse spasms? No, but... I've had it sometimes where you just like that. If it had been a load of messy liquid,
Starting point is 00:16:11 then you can sort of think, well, he was unwell. Do you see what I mean? He was sick. Yeah, but you still take the T-shirt with you, right? You'd still not leave it on the shelf.
Starting point is 00:16:20 Then you're stealing. But again, if you steal a T-shirt... What's a worse crime in the eyes of the law, Paul? Lord a worse crime in the eyes of the law, Paul? Lord. No, in the eyes of the law. Probably shitting on a t-shirt.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Stealing a t-shirt from your place of work. Yeah, but here's what I'm saying. If you stole the t-shirt, you could get away with that as well. There's more chance of you getting away with it than leaving the evidence.
Starting point is 00:16:39 It sounds to me like a dirty protest. It was like a, you know, a resignation letter in the form of a t-shirt with a turd in the middle. Good diction. So that's from Stuart.
Starting point is 00:16:50 Is that the whole letter? Stuart Moulding. You can use my name, I don't mind, he says. Good, because we've said it a few times now, Stuart. And he says we've got a good podcast and stuff.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Thank you very much for that. I have questions still. Why? Like, what's the thought process? You're the delivery driver. It's perfectly straightforward. You could have done it in the street.
Starting point is 00:17:04 You've been driving. You've been driving from Swanage, you know, all night or whatever. Yeah,? You're the delivery driver. It's perfectly straightforward. You could have done it in the street. You've been driving. You've been driving from Swanage, you know, all night or whatever. Yeah, but you're a delivery driver. This is par for the course. This is like par for... You didn't know. It sounds like he has some kind of unique bowel flora where it just is like nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Now I need to take an 8 to 10 incher. Now I need to do a big crusty 8 to 10 incher. You can't foresee the length of one of those beasts. You can only pray it doesn't last as long. Well's 8 to 10 inch it's like poking out his mouth isn't it the other end 8 to 10 inch is what like about that that's a weapon you can choke someone with it
Starting point is 00:17:35 I know and the other thing is I always think when I see an impressive shit in the loo I think ah that's been soaking that's soaked up the water that's been posed it has it's been it soaks up the water. That's been posed. It has. It soaks up the water. You know, it's like a bodybuilder injecting water before the... Steroided poop. It gets soft and it gets bigger.
Starting point is 00:17:56 It grows, doesn't it? And then you think, my God, that's a fucking beast. But this was dry. This was a dry beast. It had no pimping from the water, wasn't it? You mean it wasn't filled out with carrot juice, that kind of thing, carrot pulled. Mate, I just don't understand.
Starting point is 00:18:11 The only theory I have is that, forgetting the fact that maybe he's just a cunt and he did this because he was a lazy, slovenly prick who doesn't look after his life or his job very well, forgetting all that, maybe he had someone who came with him on that particular job. And meanwhile, he's moving the boxes in.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Meanwhile, his mate's like like I fucking hate this shop I'm going to take a big shit and he drops it and then goes puts it there and then he goes alright Jim yeah no alright
Starting point is 00:18:33 I was just moving that box I'll get it oh left a crusty one yeah that fucking teeth on it you could fucking see the calcium shining on it
Starting point is 00:18:41 oh just oh the power of the smell yeah anyway thanks for that. Please send in... Oh, poo came back. Poo came back to the show, Paul.
Starting point is 00:18:50 Yeah. Imagine there had been spunk in there with the poo, though. That'd be double bad. Well, in that case, I think there's some kind of satanic ritual going on. That would be really bad. We've never seen that. Like, do you want that? I'm looking for combo.
Starting point is 00:19:01 Mate, we're an influential podcast. Some people might go, I want to make your dream come true. I should shit and spaff. Combo finds. We're an influential podcast. Some people might go, I will make your dream come true. I shall shit and spaff. Shit and spaff. We don't support that in any way. Shit and spaffing boots. You wouldn't get away with it in pitch.
Starting point is 00:19:16 I don't know. No, they got very good. Anyway, if you do send an email in with that as a story, we will be turning you in to the local authorities. What? If anyone sends a letter saying,
Starting point is 00:19:25 Paul and Eli, I once did a big shit in boots and then spaffed on it. No, we're not looking for that. It's tails from the shop floor. We're on the side of the read support, poor retail workers, who've ended up finding this stuff. Why does it always have to be about shit though, Paul?

Hang on. Can you shoot your load? This podcast is fucking ageing me. It's genuinely taking years off my life. You know what? Not only is it ageing you, it is ageing badly, isn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:13 Fuck me. I'm rusting like a submarine upon the ocean floor. Submarine. Spycraft. Yeah. Yes, Spycraft. On QVC between 9 and 6pm. No, Spycraft is a Netflix show.
Starting point is 00:21:26 I was doing QVC. I know 6pm. No, Spycraft is a Netflix show. I was doing QVC. I know, I don't know why. And then 6 till 9pm is like fucking hours. That's a bad idea. Or 9 till 6pm. It's a long time to sell some submarines. It's a nine hour show selling submarines. What a stupid fucking show.
Starting point is 00:21:38 Workcraft, what's it fucking called? Spywork. Spyjinks. I think it's Spycraft. Tradecraft. Welcome to the new stop, Spy work. Spy jenks. I think it's Spycraft. Tradecraft. Welcome to the new stop, Spycraft. We sell hot guns for gluing
Starting point is 00:21:49 microphones to ties. We also sell haberdashery for if you want to make a costume and a domino mask for sneaking. Spycraft. Good. Yeah, good. We also sell little model planes and toys for some reason. Spycraft. Come by now. When is it on?
Starting point is 00:22:05 Come by now. Off and off. No, no, no, no, no. That wasn't an invitation. No, let's just imagine someone hasn't heard the show. And has turned off already. It's one of our prestige segments, has to be said, Paul. It is.
Starting point is 00:22:19 It's one where we actually have value. While I neck this slightly dangerous... Is it another Korean energy drink? Korean Red Bull, but the Red Bull is a skeleton. That's how hardcore this is, Paul. I'll neck this and get ready for the taste before you drink it because I get the impression it smells of Pandora's innards. Good, that's good.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Thank you. Oh, God. It's not missing. Oh, God, it just smells like the purest Red Bull. It's distilled Red Bull. So you tell everyone what Off-Brand Off is. Off-Brand Off. Brand Off Brand.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Off-Brand Off. I can't stop saying it. You can, because I will clout you. Right, so Off-Brand Brand Off, for those who would like to know, is a segment of the show that's tied tangentially to our Cheap Eats segment. And that's where we see about whether the cheap food stacks up to the expensive brands. And Off Brand Brand Off is a focused part of that
Starting point is 00:23:09 where we... I literally, I'm just trying to enjoy my dangerous Red Bull in peace. What was going on? I'll explain it. Just, yeah, do it. Sorry, I just need to dab my lips. Right.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Off-brand brand-off, ladies and gentlemen. You can dab my lips. I'll dab my meters. Dab my juicy lips. Weepy meters, weepy meters. Drip, drip. Off-brand meters, right. Oh, look, your drippy splits.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Look at your drippy split. Jordan and Andre. Oh, dear. Inside their sad split. Oh, dear. Right. Off-brand. Off-brand Brandoff. Yeah. Off Brand Brand Off is part of the show, Paul,
Starting point is 00:24:10 where we... It's fine. It's fine. It's not. Basically, it's a blind taste test where I, Eli Silverman of Cheap Show, taste items, same item but from different places
Starting point is 00:24:22 and different rungs up the socioeconomics. This isn't working either. Here's a simple version. We take known brands, such as... And compare them via a blind taste test. There you go. Thank you. Off-brand titles. In the past, we've done Jaffa Cakes. We've done the official McFitties up against
Starting point is 00:24:39 store brand. We've also done Colas. What was the latest one we did, Paul? Pizza. No, we did pizza as well. No, we did one here, sitting right here. Did we? Oh, I don't know. A few months ago. Let me just remember. We did, uh, what was it? It was, um...
Starting point is 00:24:55 Chicken? Was it chicken? It wasn't chicken. Was it granddad's chicken? It wasn't granddad's chicken. Granddad said chicken. Coming by. Who's this guy? Coming by. Granddad said chicken. Coming by. Who's this guy? Coming by. Grandad said chicken. I haven't got any chicken for you, old man. Oh, it's sad.
Starting point is 00:25:11 What do we compare? I don't remember. You don't remember? Eli. Stop. Where am I? I don't know where I am. It was Kinder and off-brand Kinder.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Do you remember? Okay, you go toodle off. There's lots of room. There's lots of rooms back there. Can you go up to that airlock? Can you just stand by that door? Yeah. Flush him, Paul.
Starting point is 00:25:42 Flush that cunt. He's gone. Yeah. It's good having that void outside the podcast. He's gone. Yeah. It's good having that void outside the podcast, isn't it? Now, Paul.
Starting point is 00:25:53 They're showing to one of those Switzerland death camps where they go to send old people to die. Dignitas. Yeah,
Starting point is 00:25:59 at least he was a fictional old person. Our podcast is like a character dignitas. Right. We just sent him to dignitas it's a massacre yeah it has been recently yeah
Starting point is 00:26:07 yeah right oh dear Paul yeah Kinder yeah that's what we did
Starting point is 00:26:12 the last time we did Kinder and we compare and basically the mission of Off Brand Brand Off Paul is to let the people know whether
Starting point is 00:26:20 to spend that little extra bit for the luxury they want yeah because they get a really good deal yeah or just get the knock off because it's People know whether to spend that little extra bit for the luxury they want. Yeah. Because they get a really good deal. Yeah. Or just get the knockoff because it's just as good.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Yeah. And sometimes we find out, like in the mayonnaise story, you preferred the Sainsbury's off-brand to Hellman's. Yeah. You keep walking back on that. It's a very similar price point for those, though, really. True. End of the day. But.
Starting point is 00:26:41 And do you know what I didn't like? The actual off-brand, the fucking basics. No, that was. The basics mayonnaise. Weak sauce. Yeah. Literally. Literally weak sauce. Weak day. But. And do you know what I didn't like? The actual off-brand, the fucking basics. No, that was. The basics mayonnaise. Weak sauce. Yeah. Literally. Literally weak sauce.
Starting point is 00:26:49 Weak sauce. Yeah. So today we are doing, thanks to Mark, I think it was Mark Honeyborn once again sent these in. I might be wrong. Right. All right. Long story short, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:26:59 Okay. Good. Thank you whoever sent the beans. Yes. Yeah. I think it was Mark, but I just want to. I just want to. Bloody hell. So we the beans. Yes. I think it was Mark, but I just want to... Bloody hell.
Starting point is 00:27:05 So, we have beans. Bean. Baked beans in tomato sauce, to be more exact, Paul. Here's the question I want to ask you about beans. Is the character of Venus on Digitizer tired out and should die soon? Do you know what? I mean, Venus is good, yeah, and I think it's, you know, it's got legs. There's that other character.
Starting point is 00:27:23 What is it again? The pig. The fat sow character. Fat sow, yeah. I shouldn't have brought any of this up. You know what? I think they should bring that back because that, I mean, people tell me. They don't let me sleep, Paul.
Starting point is 00:27:37 They come round my house at night and they're throwing pebbles up at my wall and my window. And I go, just fucking hell, guys. Leave me alone. They go, fat sow, bring back fat sow. And they've got cowls on and they've got pitchforks. And they're like burning little incense bundles.
Starting point is 00:27:55 And they go, ooh, is that the smell of mace? Get some beans in us, man. Get some beans. Hey, you know what is good? Are you all right? You know what's good? get some beans in us man get some beans hey you know what is good are you alright you know what's good doing solo projects
Starting point is 00:28:11 yeah really is you know what Paul it's the lockdown it's got to me man yeah it has got to me it's getting to me
Starting point is 00:28:17 and it's like this is doing the show it's a bit of a release and so I get a bit I'm sorry I'm getting a bit giggly we don't do much in between recordings
Starting point is 00:28:24 you know what I mean so when we come back it's like what have you done I don't know what have you done I don't know what are we'm sorry we do we don't do much in between recordings you know what i mean so when we come back it's like what have you done i don't know what have you done i don't know well that's everyone that's what everyone in the lockdown comes out a babbling fucking fat sal propaganda piece finished with a oh i like fucking energy drinks mate oh we'll just have the rest of this energy drink i might reach a level where it's more calm let's just do that right because fuck me, so we're going to do baked beans this week. Now, I was going to ask you, Paul. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:49 What's your take on beans? I don't like baked beans all that much, really. I honestly am not a big fan. Were they served to you as a child? In what way? No, that was perfectly innocent. Did they come out of an oven? Was it a baked bean? No, I'm not. Listen,
Starting point is 00:29:06 I'm not saying that. I'm just wondering if you were served beans. I'm trying to have a... Were you given daddy's beans? Is that what you're saying now? Did you get daddy's beans? Yeah, is that what you're inferring? I'm not inferring anything.
Starting point is 00:29:18 I didn't do that. I've had normal baked beans all my life. That's what I'm saying. All your life. So they were served to you? Yeah. Burger, chips and beans. You's what I'm saying, all your life. So they were served to you? Yeah. Burger, chips and beans, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:29:26 Fried breakfast. They really are a staple British dish, aren't they? Are they? Because it seems to be something we've adopted. It doesn't seem like it's a British thing
Starting point is 00:29:34 until like the mid-1900s. I mean, we can find out. Let's have a little look. Yes, no, I think it's a post-war. It's a post-war. It has to be, because I always thought
Starting point is 00:29:41 before then, beans associated with like the Old West. Well, that's what the dish is originally that it's based on. It's an American dish, isn't it? Because Heinz is an American company, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:29:48 Is it? Yeah. So let's read this because I've got a Wikipedia page and that's content. Baked beans is a dish traditionally served with white beans and are parboiled and then baked at a low temperature for a lengthy period of time in some sort of sauce. Some sort. This is the usual preparation of the dish in the United States. I hope you'd know what kind of sauce though, wouldn't you?
Starting point is 00:30:06 Before you started. Yeah. Yeah. Because you wouldn't go, oh, we just need some sort of sauce and then they'd end up... What kind of sauce have you got? Custard. Custard sauce, isn't it? No, that doesn't fucking work, does it? Mayonnaise. We fat the beans! We fat these beans! They're beans and custard and no one wants them! And from that point on, baked beans were never a thing and history was changed
Starting point is 00:30:21 forever. Exactly. The sauce is important. Which would mean there'd be no bean-us. If we went back in time and changed the bean The sauce is important. Which would mean there'd be no Venus. If we went back in time and changed the bean recipe so it was a flop, then there'd be no Venus. Yeah. Just saying. I don't know why you keep bringing this up. Just saying we should build a time machine.
Starting point is 00:30:35 We should build a time machine. And kill Venus. And stop beans. Kill Venus's father. Yeah. Go back and stop beans. Would it be like a plant? Venus's father.
Starting point is 00:30:42 Yeah. So we'd go and strangle the plant. No, Venus is a human, isn't he? Is he? I don't know the story with Venus. It's weird. I he'd go and strangle a plant. No, Venus is a human, isn't he? Is he? I don't know the story with Venus. It's weird. I think he's a real boy. He's a real person.
Starting point is 00:30:49 That's worse. Because he had a dad who worked in beans. Did he eat a radioactive bean? No, I don't think it's like a Spider-Man story. I just think one day he went, I like beans and I'm going to eat nothing else. I'm going to dress in beans. There's no superpowers.
Starting point is 00:31:02 He's like a bean-based vigilante. No, I don't think he's got any supernatural powers. I don't think he can read thoughts. But he stops crime with beans or something. What he could do
Starting point is 00:31:10 is control beans with his mind. Wouldn't that be good? He could build a wall of beans to stop enemies. If you just had a kinetic ability just to control beans, you know, like Magneto is metal, but you're Beanito.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Can you imagine? Beanito. Yeah, that's what I just said. I don't know. I'm saying it in a funny way. Now, listen, Paul. No, I love this. You know that in the Fantasia way,
Starting point is 00:31:29 he's doing the water, the mouse, Mickey Mouse has got the wizard hat and he's doing the water. The sorcerer's apprentice. And he's like swishing it off. The sorcerer's apprentice. That bit.
Starting point is 00:31:37 Imagine that with beans. And he's controlling beans. A sea of beans. Yeah, and he goes like, send a wall of beans at you. I've got a bean based memory that's just popped into my head Paul
Starting point is 00:31:47 hit me with it when I was very young and I was looking around our house we had a very big house for a little while before we were forced to move by the
Starting point is 00:31:55 by the police the recession of the early 90s so what don't look at me it was not the late 80s when was the recession I don't know
Starting point is 00:32:03 anyway I'm in the coal scuttle there's like the bottom floor has a sort of coal room my au pair was nowhere Look at me. We're not the late 80s. When was the recession? I don't know. Anyway, I'm in the coal scuttle. There's like this... The bottom floor has a sort of coal room. And my au pair was nowhere to be seen. No, she wasn't. We didn't have one then. Fucking see what I mean.
Starting point is 00:32:12 What? I'm in the coal scuttle room. Yeah. And there's still coal in there. Right. Yeah. And it's sort of naughty in there because it's all dirty and stuff. I made a George's Magic Medicine in there once as well.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Is that a euphemism as well? No. And I found this old LP cover. Right. It was sort of in the mud. Right. In the grime at the bottom of this cellar. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:33 And it was The Who. And I can't remember what the name of the album is. Who Lived at Beans? No. It has a picture of, it's sort of like a parody of advertising. Okay. And so I think Pete Townsend's got an oversized product of something like an advertising.
Starting point is 00:32:48 But importantly, Yeah. Daltrey is in a bathtub of beans, real beans. Okay. And they're all, do you know what I mean? They're all,
Starting point is 00:32:57 and then you what? Then I went, I'm a child. And you said that loud. I'm a child. I was like, oh, I don't know what that's all about.
Starting point is 00:33:05 And you put it back. It's slightly disgusting. You put it back. You put the beanie man back in the slot. Then I probably ran out into the garden. Father, father. I didn't say father, father. Okay, sorry.
Starting point is 00:33:15 Peter, Peter. I never said that. You did. Far, far, far, far, far, far, far, far. I found the record in the skulls. Right, whatever, mate. Anyway, beans. I found the record in the skulls cooking the pop-up bar right whatever mate anyway beans
Starting point is 00:33:25 so yes in the US that's the usual way of doing it with parboiling and baking apparently in the UK the dish is sometimes baked but usually stewed
Starting point is 00:33:34 in a sauce canned baked beans are not baked but are cooked through a steam process yeah there you go place of origin
Starting point is 00:33:40 United States specifically New England didn't know that Heinz comes from there created by Native Americans modern versions descended from the colonial United States so it's didn't know that created by Native Americans modern versions descended from
Starting point is 00:33:46 the colonial United States so it's a Native American dish originally apparently that's interesting baked beans had
Starting point is 00:33:51 its origins in Native America cuisine and the dish is made from beans indigenous to the Americas the dish was adopted and
Starting point is 00:33:58 adapted by English colonists in England in the 17th century and then through cookbooks in the 19th century the recipe spread through the
Starting point is 00:34:06 North America. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Originally they were sweetened with maple syrup like Native Americans. Interesting. Very nice. In addition, some recipes still follow but English decided to not bother and just add brown sugar. That was originally in the 17th century. 18th century
Starting point is 00:34:22 they used molasses. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Bush Brothers and Company currently sell the most baked beans in the 17th century, 18th century, they used molasses. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Bush Brothers and Company currently sell the most baked beans in the United States. Bush. Yeah, bush beans, yeah. I went down this wheel the other day, did you? She had bush beans, mate. That's what you're looking for, mate.
Starting point is 00:34:40 Just below the bush, the beans. She had many. Oh, right. Oh, God. It was like looking at a meaty... It was Lucky Dip. Find the real bean in the bean. Yeah. She had many. Oh, right. Oh, God. It was like looking at a meaty... It was Lucky Dip. Find the real bean in the bush. Yeah. Oh.
Starting point is 00:34:52 After the Revolutionary War, the Fourth of July was celebrated with picnics, fireworks, dances, and dinners. The food served varied, changing with each region, but baked beans was always the most common dish. And then I guess it just... Okay, so blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:35:06 Mass production of canned baked beans began in the United States in 1895 by the H.J. Hines Company. They're the first. Hines were the first. And kind of the brand you think of instantly when you think of beans now. I think of Bush. Canned baked beans became popular internationally, particularly in the United Kingdom, where
Starting point is 00:35:22 the greatest amount of canned baked beans is currently consumed as part of the English full breakfast. That's it. It's part of the breakfast. That's the real... Flatulence. Baked beans are known to cause farties. I haven't said that. Not the article. Due to the fermentation of polysaccharides and gut flora, they pass through the small intestine, largely undigested.
Starting point is 00:35:40 When they reach the large intestine, they are digested by bacteria, which produces the gas. The windy, windy pot. Have you found that's a problem with you with beans? No, because I don't eat a lot of beans.
Starting point is 00:35:49 I just fart because I seemingly can't stop. I had cheesy pizza last night. Onions are the worst for me. Yeah? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Onions. So there's lots of stuff there. If you want to read more, there's an article, but that's the gist of it. So today we are doing
Starting point is 00:36:00 Off-Brand Brand Off and Eli will be testing three types of baked beans. First of all, item number one. This is the one that everyone loves. The Heinz Baked Beans, established 1869. Now with bush, you could tell if you had bush on this list, Paul, I'd be able to tell the difference
Starting point is 00:36:16 because bush beans are actually slightly different. I think they're a bit smaller, the beans that they use, and they're actually barbecue. Okay, so they look more kind of sweet in that barbecue in that barbecue way that's why we're not using them and also we're you can't get barbecue beans in this country they just don't seem to have ever taken off no as much as the the tomato sauce ones which are the traditional breakfast staple in their range in their back range there's heinz barbecue variant probably you know with the sausages and the hoops and whatever yeah they've got barbecue they've got lots of varieties, as we know.
Starting point is 00:36:46 There we go. We're doing Heinz baked beans. The standard, the classic. That's the on-brand. That's the on-brand. That's what we're judging against today. But what are we against it with? Well, let's go for the obvious one.
Starting point is 00:36:56 Next is Morrison's. I'll let you have a little look. These are the Morrison's own brand. It's very simple. They haven't gone for... Well, that's not... Morrison's don't do that, do they? I like Morrison's for that. They don't do for well that's not Morrison's don't do that do they?
Starting point is 00:37:05 I like Morrison's for that they don't do a sort of copy of Heinz thing no they don't do what a lot of off brands do which is try and mimic there's some respect like the colour scheme
Starting point is 00:37:14 or the pattern and they're not called Klein's beans or something like that do you know what I mean? they're proud to just be basic eat smart it says why does it say that?
Starting point is 00:37:22 because I don't know big beans are your one a day that's what they keep saying beans are good for the heart the's what they keep saying beans beans they're good for the heart the more you eat the more you fart
Starting point is 00:37:27 the more you fart the better you feel so have baked beans for every meal and they'll make you smart beans beans the musical fruit
Starting point is 00:37:32 the more you eat the more you toot and other songs so Heinz beans cost 65p this is a half can this is eat smart you say baked beans
Starting point is 00:37:42 yeah 25p for these these are 220g half cans, aren't they? One serving, basically, each that we're looking at. Oh, yeah. Sorry, I should have mentioned that. They're only the small tins. Yeah, but yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:51 Okay. So, and how much were the Morrison's off-brand eat smart? 65. 65 for the Heinz beans. And those that you have in your hand, the eat smart, were 25p. Now, that's cheap. It's very cheap. But will the flavor be cheap?
Starting point is 00:38:03 Well, I don't know if i'm very confident going into this paul because i you know i do like beans yes and i like to especially with a cooked breakfast anyone can do it mr biffo cooked breakfast i like to dip my i like the bean juice yeah i like to dip my toast in the bean juice the naked bean juice right i don't know because when i get a breakfast usually not they do much these days but when you get a breakfast out you don't say oh these Heinz
Starting point is 00:38:28 you just eat the beans you're given. And they're always the off brand if you ask me. They're probably always like the daddy's beans or whatever it is.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Yeah. Anyway we have oh here's the thing actually on that thought my dad swears down that if someone gives him beans that aren't baked beans
Starting point is 00:38:41 he will know instantly and he won't eat them. He's funny about that. He knows he loves his Heinz but if you put down a knock off or whatever he will know instantly and he won't eat them. He's funny about that. He knows he loves his Heinz, but if you put down a knock-off or whatever, he will know and he will make quite the statement. He's like, not eating this, love. He's very proud of that.
Starting point is 00:38:53 And then it all gets ugly in this vibe. You know what, we're not going to get into it. So the third and final one is what, Mr Silverman? These are Branston baked beans. Now Branston, very famous brand in the UK for making pickle. Yes. And when we say pickle famous brand in the UK for making pickle. Yes.
Starting point is 00:39:06 And when we say pickle, it's that British form of pickle. It's a chutney pickle. Yeah. Chutney pickle. It is a chutney pickle. And it's got rutabaga in it. What's that? It's a type of vegetable.
Starting point is 00:39:15 I thought it was the actor from Blade Runner. Hey! Whack, whack! Who? Rutger Hauer. Rutger Barger. Yeah, Rutger Hauer's brother. Rutger Barger.
Starting point is 00:39:24 Yeah. Although they'd have a same surname. Right. Branston, but they're known. It's a joke. I appreciate that. Now, what I never realised, Paul, about Branston. When I saw Branston beans, because they're very popular, these ones, as well, aren't they?
Starting point is 00:39:35 I don't know. When I first saw them, I thought, oh, is this beans that taste of the pickle that they make? Oh, okay. Do you know what I mean? As in a Branston flavoured bean. Yeah. Which is not outside the realm of something that might be real. No.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Apparently no. They're just, they're in tomato sauce, aren't they? Yeah. But it does say on the side, is that good housekeeping winner or something? There's a little white circle next to the logo on the front that has on the side, good housekeeping or something. Good housekeeping institute. What does that, what is it saying?
Starting point is 00:40:02 Is it saying they give it a thumbs up? Yeah, they, yeah. Oh, okay. I just wondered what that was. I thought they were gallivanting. Heinz doesn't need that, what is it saying? Is it saying they give it a thumbs up? Yeah, they, yeah. Oh, okay. I just wondered what that was. I thought they were gallivanting. Heinz doesn't need that, does it? Heinz is just like,
Starting point is 00:40:09 listen, mate, you've got the Wonder Bean, two, what? We've got 57 varieties. No, they don't. That's ketchup. So.
Starting point is 00:40:14 Well, it says 57 varieties on that. It just says Heinz beans spelt with a Z. When did they start doing that as well? Putting the Z on? Beans. Was that always a thing or am I just going mad?
Starting point is 00:40:25 I'm sure there never used to be a Z until recently. That is a new thing. Everything's wrong with the modern world. The Americanisation of this bloody country. Have you done any research? Oh! Have you done any research on this Branston stuff? No, it's just Branston beans.
Starting point is 00:40:39 And I presume they're the ones that you probably get in a calf, a greasy spoon calf. What's the price on the Branston beans, please? 50 pence. So 15p cheaper than the brand Heinz. Than the Heinz, but 25p for the off-brand. Yes. So I'm expecting it to be very nasty. Perhaps it'll taste a bit like apple juice.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Maybe, maybe. Do you know, like, it's the concentrate. Perhaps it's the nature of the sugar. Perhaps it's the nature of the sugar, you know, the quality of the sugar. Don't tell me, but I reckon probably there's more additives in the cheap one, maybe. Or sweetener.
Starting point is 00:41:10 53% haricot beans, if that means anything. This just says beans on the Heinz one. The Morrison's one says tomato puree, water, sugar, modifying starches, onion powder, paprika, rapeseed oil, clover extract. There's quite a lot of stuff going on in this.
Starting point is 00:41:26 Cinnamon. Heinz don't tell you shit. Heinz are like, what do you want? You know the recipe. Capcum. No, what's that? Capuscum. That's chilli. Extract. Garlic oil. Wow. There's a lot of stuff in that. Whereas the Heinz is tomato, beans, water, sugar, vinegar,
Starting point is 00:41:42 cornflour, salt, spice extract. Yeah, so the spice extract could cover a multitude of different spices. I'll just look at the Branston ingredients. Beans, tomatoes, so far it's actually exactly the same as the hind. Yeah, they're trying to be the hind. So here's the plan. I'm going to now put these in a cup. Each one is going to get a cup.
Starting point is 00:42:03 I'm going to put the cups in the microwave. I'm going to put them in for the two minutes, it says, on the side of the tin to microwave them full. I'm going to now put these in a cup. Each one is going to get a cup. I'm going to put the cups in the microwave. I'm going to put them in for the two minutes, it says, on the side of the tin to microwave them full. I'm going to bring them back. All at the same time you microwave them? Yeah. I'm going to bring them back. I'll be wearing a microwave.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Will you? A blindfold. No, you'll be wearing a blindfold. And I will hand you a cup and the fork, and then we'll do what we always do. And after the three cups, you'll judge, and I'll write it down as we go. What I'll be looking for is the one that I like the taste of the most.
Starting point is 00:42:27 And separately, I will try and spot the Heinz. And also spot the other two. Yeah. I'm trying to get it all right. I'm trying to guess each one. Blind taste tested bean in my mouth, Paul.
Starting point is 00:42:39 And just so you know, we're not going to be handing them to him in the order of we just described them. They will be mixed up. And so he won't know what he's going to be served until it's in his mouth. Just the way I like it. Paul, have you got one of those air fresheners plugged into the wall? Yes. My God, it's killing me.
Starting point is 00:42:54 I'm dying. I can't breathe. Right. Let's go and prepare these beans. We'll see you in a minute. Bye. Bye. Bye.
Starting point is 00:43:07 Right. That's it. Beans are now ready. They've been in the microwave for the amount of time designated. Are you recording? Yes, I haven't stopped. So I can go straight into it and not forget to press record like I've done in the past. Okay, so we're still here. Just start again then.
Starting point is 00:43:19 No, this is fine. Sit down, say that bit again. Come on, for me. Right, we're back. The beans have been cooked in the microwave for the amount of time the tin said to cook them for. That's done. It's done. We're ready.
Starting point is 00:43:29 I've got them all lined up here. Eli, going into this, how are you feeling? I'm not 100% confident, Paul. I'm very familiar with beans. I haven't been aware of noticing the difference between brands before. So what I'm looking for is a sort of amplitude rating that's going to be highest for the Heinz because they are
Starting point is 00:43:50 the kings of amplitude as they've demonstrated by their mastery of the world ketchup scene. Is it mastery or they just kind of got the biggest dick? It's the best ketchup. No, it's the best ketchup. And people swear by it. Just like your dad swears by Heinz beans. I'm hoping it has a gestalt, like an overall.
Starting point is 00:44:08 Beanie, beanie quality. Like, I'm going to thin slice it, and then I'm not going to think about it. I'm just going to let the fucking pure flavor hit the brainstem. Should we talk while the beans are hot? Should we talk while the beans are hot? Should we eat while the beans are hot? Let's make haste whilst the beans are hot. Right, okay.
Starting point is 00:44:24 Hand me my first bean. So I'm going to hand you, again, there were three, but I'm going to hand them out of order of how we went through them. So this will, I'm going to show the camera.
Starting point is 00:44:31 This has just been number one for me. So I'm going to hand it to, I have to make sure I've got this right. Oh. I'm handing you the cup. Is the cup hot? Don't hurt me hands on the cup.
Starting point is 00:44:39 It's not that hot. There you go. It's fine. I've got it. So you've got your fork. Right. Do you want to give it a fork? I'm going to give it a hoof.
Starting point is 00:44:45 Don't you worry about that. Oh, that's real greasy calf. Is it? Sort of farty smell. Farty beans. Oh, that's a real farty bean. I'm not getting a lot of tomato off the... All right.
Starting point is 00:44:58 Is it comforting? Yeah, in that way, but there's not a lot of... Anyway, let's go in. He's had the hoof. Now it's time for the bite. I don't really want to watch that. I don't eat the fucking hairy beans how are you going how are the beans for you beans are fine yeah what are you getting in terms of amplitude are they off is it off to you the amplitude is not there for me on that one it's like the the sauce is slightly watery and tastes a bit like sweetener rather than okay but the beans do have the skin on the
Starting point is 00:45:27 nice firmness to the skin i'll say that so i don't want to go too far before i've got some comparison you know no fair enough fair enough are you happy to put that down then i'm gonna happy to put that down now okay i would say just by going by it i think those are my first thought is those are probably the cheapest okay those are the Morrisons off brand I reckon well here's I might be wrong and I might these might
Starting point is 00:45:48 let's just see the second one is when it really starts to kick in for me well here we go here is beans number two handing in the cup
Starting point is 00:45:55 oh I've wiped it all off I don't want to get juice bean juice contamination I've given his fork a nice little towelette to clean off so the sauces
Starting point is 00:46:04 can't be contaminated between cups. I'm going to give bean number two a great big huffy. Here we go. Huffs in. Now what are you huffing? That's even less tomatoey than the last one. Really? Less smell. There's less smell at all.
Starting point is 00:46:21 Less smell at all. There it is. They've got really not much smell at all. Just a very faint sort of soy saucy smell. Are beans all that smelly, though, to be fair? Well, I tell you what,
Starting point is 00:46:32 compared to these ones, the first one were a smell-a-thon. All right. Okay. Anyway, bean you down the hatch. Oh, here we go.
Starting point is 00:46:39 Oh, don't. Get some beans in me. And what is your opinion on beans number two? Anytime you want, mate. The beans are mushier. Okay. There's less structural integrity to the beans. Right.
Starting point is 00:46:59 The sauce is more... Tomato-y? Yeah. It's less sweetenery? Less sweetenery, definitely. And thicker. That's good then, because I think having a thicker sauce helps a lot. But in terms of flavour, what are you getting?
Starting point is 00:47:08 Not much. No. The consistency's there, but not the flavour. I don't like the texture of the beans either. They're cheap, sort of mushy. Oh. I would say... It's hotting up in the off-brand kitchen.
Starting point is 00:47:18 I don't know. Can I withhold my... You can withhold anything you like until we get to the final... Am I allowed to retaste some if I really have to? Of course you can. I'm not here to trick you. I'm here to test the limits of your taste. They're definitely different from the first ones.
Starting point is 00:47:33 Definitely. Bean number three. Third bean. Let's have a huff of this and see what we go with. He's going in from there. Huffing the bean. God, it's hard to get any kind of huff out of that at all, mate. Well, maybe huff isn't the best angle to approach these ones.
Starting point is 00:47:45 No, the first ones were huff-tastic, mate. Lovely. Lovely steamy calf on a morning smell. You know? Yeah, no, I get it. I understand. I get that. It's the sound of the tea maker.
Starting point is 00:47:58 Ooh, bean smell. Would you like some toast with that, darling? I'd like a bit of you. Do you want white or brown toast? Oh, no. Would you like to lick my dirty clam? Oh, now you're tilting up. I will snubble up your...
Starting point is 00:48:14 I'll slish it out. And I will come right in your clam. And then I'll spit it out. And I'll come over there and scuff it in your bed. Your bearded clam is all juicy down my little lid. If you're quite finished, you're no longer allowed
Starting point is 00:48:33 to have that energy drink. Eat the beans. Eat the beans. I have to taste these beans. Use the fork the right way, you fucking idiot. I use my eyes usually, Paul, you know? Yeah, but still, figure out the up and down of a fork.
Starting point is 00:48:46 I need to get it in my mouth. Oh, don't. I can't watch this. I can't watch it. I won't watch it. It sounds horrible in my ears as it is. Oh, ah. Oh, now.
Starting point is 00:48:58 What are you thinking, Mr. Silverman? First of all, positive, negative. Are you positive towards the flavour? That's the nicest. Okay. That's got the... What, the texture Are you positive towards the flavour? That's the nicest. Okay. That's got the... What, the texture and the flavour and the consistency? Yes.
Starting point is 00:49:09 It's a nice package. Yeah. Is it what you would maybe call amplitude? Yes. Yes? All right, would you like to try any of the others before you make any final decisions? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:18 What would you like to try, one or two? One. One. Okay, here it is. I'm putting it in your hand. Yeah, the sauce isn't right on those ones. No, they're wrong. I'll tell you which ones I like the most.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Let's have a little recap. I'm taking my blindfold off, okay? Okay, go for it. Oh, the brightness. Oh. Right. I'll tell you what, Paul. Yeah?
Starting point is 00:49:34 Beans, number one. Yeah? Watery, artificial tasting. Okay. Beans had nice texture. Right. Okay? Number two, quite mushy beans, but a nice taste.
Starting point is 00:49:45 Okay. And a good amplitude. Right. Number three, the most amplitude, but not quite as tasty as two. Okay. But I think... What do you want to go with? Well, I think the knockoff was beans number one, Morrison's,
Starting point is 00:49:58 and I think number two was the Branston, and I think the last one you gave me was the Heinz. So... Oh, maybe not. Actually... Go on, what? It's all about the sauce. I'm trying to think. Is me was the Heinz so oh maybe not actually go on what it's all about the sauce I'm trying to think is it about the sauce or is it the reputation I think number two I think the middle one was the Heinz and the last one was the Branston so you are saying it was Morrison just because the last number three was a bit brittle there was something about the
Starting point is 00:50:19 texture that was a slightly off okay so I think number three was something trying to be Heinz, i.e. Branston. Right. But number one, it's just they didn't have enough money to spend on the sauce, basically. It was thin gruel. Am I totally wrong?
Starting point is 00:50:33 Let's find out. You said the first one was Morrison's. Knock off. You said the second was Heinz and the third was Branston. Here is the actual order of the beans. The first one was Morrison's. Oh, yeah. However, The first one was Morrison's.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Oh, yeah. However, the second one was Heinz. And the third one was Branston. So you got all three right. Oh, yes. This is your first grand slam. Mate, that's amazing. I didn't think you were going to get it for a minute because I think the Heinz one threw you off.
Starting point is 00:50:58 I swapped it at the last moment, didn't I? You swapped it at the last minute. Fucking yes. There you go. But out of all three, which would you prefer? Which was the nicest? I preferred two, which was what? The Branston? No, stopped it at the last minute. Fucking yes! There you go. But out of all three, which would you prefer? Which was the nicest? I preferred two, which was what, the Branston? No, the beans, the Heinz.
Starting point is 00:51:09 Yeah, I preferred it. Really? Yeah. Because when you were in the moment, you didn't seem to be enjoying it. No, but then that's when I thought it over again. You're fucking backtracking on that. No. I think you liked the Branston best, because that was the one you had the most positive
Starting point is 00:51:20 reaction to when you first put it in there. No, you know, the Branston, the beans were a bit brittle. Like, they didn't... The Heinzz it's magic they turn into a lovely mush. Okay. The transition from
Starting point is 00:51:29 bean to mush is like really pleasing on the Heinz and they haven't got it quite right on the on the Branston. There's too much they're a bit chalky
Starting point is 00:51:37 slightly chalky but you can just tell from the sauce mate with the with the knockoff they don't have the money to spend on proper sugar. That's what it is. Yeah. So so here's the thing then and it's watery as well doesn't
Starting point is 00:51:49 have the thickness is it worth it no would you rather spend a little bit more and get the branston instead definitely i'm with your dad here yeah he's a heinz man yeah oh okay honestly the branston would have been a close it's what 40p more 45p more 40p more it's twice as expensive but those just not nice at all, those Morrisons ones. No. Fair enough. Okay. So I don't think you could really replace it.
Starting point is 00:52:09 No, but I guess it's not too bad. But I wouldn't even say the Bransons for 50p is probably a good deal as well. Yeah, no, the Bransons are nice as well. So yes. If only really Morrisons would be like, maybe if you have to at a push, get it. The gap between the Bransons and the Heinines is not huge, which is reflected in the fact that I could, I kind of confused them at first. Yeah, true. But then fucking came down with the hard science.
Starting point is 00:52:31 Well, look, there you go. And all that. Distinguished beans like a man on fire today. Now, what's, oh, hang on. Oh, no. Hang on. Hey, can we just end this segment, please? No, how's he found me here?
Starting point is 00:52:43 I didn't, the dead drop was dead drop didn't say to come here. Ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff. Ruff, ruff. Hello. Right. Hello, Paul. You speak to him. I'm not having anything to do with him.
Starting point is 00:52:53 Paul. If the police come here and find out that you're here, we'll all get nicked. And I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. I'm out. I'm backing out. Eli's out to you.
Starting point is 00:53:00 It's perfectly legal. Ruff, ruff, ruff. You mean perfectly legal. I've been allowed out. Have you got a bracelet on your ankle or something? Yes. Show us it. There it is.
Starting point is 00:53:08 Beep, beep. I'm not entirely convinced. Anyway, I'm here to collect debts owed to me. We don't owe you anything. You signed this piece of paper, did you not? No, because that's a tissue. In 2018? Yes, you did, Roth, Roth.
Starting point is 00:53:22 Right, okay, and what does it say? It says, I hereby hand over control of Cheap Show and all Cheap Show related products and merchandise to Cheap Show Corporation Incorporated Messers Brandoff. Messers Brandoff? That's me, if you didn't know.
Starting point is 00:53:41 All your company's been liquidated and when you went into jail all your contracts became null and void as a result of the tractions against you. So therefore, that is absolutely meaningless now. You may as well wipe your arse with it. You have no legal standing over Cheap Show anymore. I might have a dirty protest.
Starting point is 00:53:54 Eli? Yes, Richard? Why are you so coy around him? Right, Eli, you told me it was going to be all right if I came down here and you'd have a payment. Oh, is that what you told him? Yeah. Why did you fucking tell him that?
Starting point is 00:54:07 Because we've been in communication, Paul. We've got, you know. He's been fucking treating you like a chump. Ruff, ruff, ruff. Mate, so long story short, you have no more legal standing. I do. With the Jeep show anymore. You don't.
Starting point is 00:54:20 You don't. When you went to jail, all those contracts became null and void. We are a free podcast now. Right, right. I'll tell you something, sonny me lad. Go for it. Paul, lend us 10. 10 quid?

Starting point is 00:54:41 He's just looking for me waggonets. Richard, he's trying to, you know, he does this thing where he improvises. It's terrible, usually. Not very good. I will say that. I'm fucking confused by that. It was very poor.
Starting point is 00:54:52 Now, one last thing, right, before I go. I'll give you a tenner if you can fuck off. I will take that tenner. Yeah. I will take it. I will cut you on a bus. Look, I didn't want to say this. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 00:55:02 But, um... Off-brand off. Off-brand brand off was usually... That's my segment Brandoff was usually sponsored by you in the past, right? I'm still sponsored. You lied to me, Eli, you dirty slut! Sorry. Sorry, Richard. So, as a result, we've now got a new sponsor.
Starting point is 00:55:19 What? Who? Come over here. Who's this? I can't. I'm Bill Donut, and this is Bill Donuts of Brand, Brand of. You. I've got a song for it. Is it brand? Is

And one, two, three, four, five. I'm a brandy man. That's the song I've written. Yes, I work on it over the years. Bill. Ruff, ruff, Bill. Yes.

Starting point is 00:59:22 I can't do the character. Who was that? Bill? Did I miss something? No, mate, mate, please don't. I can't do the character. Who was that? Bill? Did I miss something? No, well, let's go back to my office. We can have a chitty chat, Mr. Inchman. I was asleep. You haven't seen nothing. And you never fucking will.
Starting point is 00:59:38 Gannon's Golden Games. Gannon's Golden Games. Here I am. There you are. Gannon's Golden Games. It's Gannon's Golden Games time. It's Gannon's Golden Games time. And it's that time are. Gannon's Golden Games. It's Gannon's Golden Games, Tom. It's Gannon's Golden Games time. And it's that time of the show where I pull out a board game that I found in a charity shop or maybe on eBay and give it a good old play and a tinkle with. And we have a bit of fun, don't we? It's a Gannon's Golden Games, Tom.
Starting point is 00:59:57 And today we are playing a game based on a TV show I've never heard of featuring one of Britain's most beloved TV celebrities until he died. Who's that then? It's Terry Wogan, isn't it? Can you do a Terry Wogan impression? Oh, I'm Terry Wogan, so I am. So I am. And on me show this morning, I am Terry Wogan, so I am. What's blank?
Starting point is 01:00:20 I went to the chip shop the other day. An old farmer chip shop opened his chips. Old farmer chip shop so poor, he can't afford fish for his fish and chips. Instead, he uses blank or blanks. Diddly diddly. And then you say... Spoff in a tray.
Starting point is 01:00:37 Spoff in a tray. What do you think, Les Dennis? Oh, deep fried... Oh, deep fried spuff in a tray. Oh, no. I can't believe it, Diddly. All right, Samantha Fox, what did you say? Oh, I can't believe it.
Starting point is 01:00:52 All right, Samantha Fox, what did you think was the answer? Blank or blanks? I'd say... Fish. OK. Jasper Carrot, what do you think is the blank? Is the blank or blanks? Diddly diddly.
Starting point is 01:01:09 Shot a fox. I don't know. Shot a fox. Shot a mole or something, didn't it? Mole. Yeah. Oh, I've got three more people on blank and blank. Come on, come and do it.
Starting point is 01:01:20 Oh, what about you, Duncan Norvell? Who was that? He's the guy who said, chase me a lot. Oh, chase me. Blank or blanks. He couldn't afford fish, so he used blank. Oh. Turn it.
Starting point is 01:01:37 Oh, turn it, he says. All right, then. Two more. All right, we've got. What about you, Russ Abbott? What do you think? What was it? Blank or blanks?
Starting point is 01:01:47 Atmosphere. I love a party with a fairy. You're like the worst impressionist in the world. And finally, in the corner there, my favourite square, Pammers.
Starting point is 01:02:00 What do you think, Pammers? Blank or blanks for fish? Oh, a nice cup of tea. Oh, a great cup of tea there from Pammers, the cuddly old lady. Nice cup of tea. I like it. She talked a bit like that, didn't she?
Starting point is 01:02:11 She talked a bit like that, she did. She had a northern, yeah, like that. Not northern, like Cornish. Cornish. I wandered as a lonely cloud. I took all down the fancies. And that naughty farmer across the way, I think he flashed my panties.
Starting point is 01:02:26 That kind of stuff. I've got crabbies. I've got sludge in me pants. Stop it. Stop it. So we are... We've got guys mate. We are playing Terry Wogan. Terry Wogan basically was a, initially a radio presenter in the UK. Irish chap, very
Starting point is 01:02:41 cuddly. Is the word avuncular correct? Absolutely. Uncle-like, that means. He was very uncle-like. He was the nation's uncle. He always did Eurovision, and he was always a little bit tipsy, and he was always like, here's the Irish now with their ballad. He was a fantastic light entertainment broadcaster. I think we can
Starting point is 01:02:57 both agree. Because I think he was very aware that if he was going to be made fun of because of his standing, he would want to be in on the jokes. He was always in on the joke of his own kind of personality. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. He lived up to that whole cuddly, warm.
Starting point is 01:03:11 But he was very witty, very sharp. Yeah. He was a great television presenter, basically. And he always used to have a chat with Ken Bruce when they swapped hands at the shows. Oh, right. A bit handover. But that is a typical way.
Starting point is 01:03:21 I'm Ken Bruce. I'm Ken Bruce. I'm Ken Bruce. And I'm on the radio next. A diddly, diddly, diddly. Hello, I'm Terry Walker. And I'm way I'm Ken Bruce I'm Ken Bruce I'm Ken Bruce and I'm on the radio next diddly diddly diddly hello I'm Terry Walker and I'm handing over to Ken Bruce
Starting point is 01:03:29 Ken Bruce I'm going to play some E-A-L-O E-A-L-O E-A-L-O E-A-L-O E-A-L-O that's a policeman's
Starting point is 01:03:37 favourite band E-A-L-O E-A-L-O E-A-L-O oh that's good thank you I'm keeping that one. That's fucking good.
Starting point is 01:03:46 You can do the IRS stew one. IRS stew. A whole load of policeman jokes. So, yeah, we're playing a board game based on a TV show he allegedly did. Allegedly existed. I just don't remember it. Which is ironic because it's called Total Recall. Wogan's Perfect Recall.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Oh, yeah. Perfect Recall. Not Total Recall. Wogan's Perfect Recall. Oh, yeah, Perfect Recall, not Total Recall. Yeah, we fucked that, though. Did we say it was called Total Recall? Yeah, we called it Total Recall. We're confusing it with the Arnie Schwarzenegger film. Yeah, we are. Although I thought that's initially what it was, a play on the words of that.
Starting point is 01:04:18 No, Perfect Recall is when you can remember things perfectly. Anyway, it's similar to Total Recall. Yes, similar. Yeah, it's the same thing. They're analogous. Wogan's Perfect Recall is a game show presented by Sir Terry Wogan. It was broadcast on Channel 4
Starting point is 01:04:31 and ran between 25th of August 2008 and 19th of November 2010. So only two years. Five seasons. Yeah, that's why we don't remember it, Paul. That's way past when we stopped watching television. That would have been, what, a kind of
Starting point is 01:04:45 six o'clock in the afternoon yeah I did not watch TV it was when countdown or 15 to one wasn't on it would be something
Starting point is 01:04:52 like this maybe Tuesdays and Thursdays or something like that format four contestants compete in each episode for a chance to win
Starting point is 01:04:58 up to £100,000 that's not bad for six o'clock in the afternoon more than you fucking got on 15 to one which is basically do you want a book you won this game do you want a book it was ages to win you'd have to
Starting point is 01:05:10 do multiple shows as well yeah it was a whole big like a holiday or something didn't you maybe maybe i'm thinking of going for gold maybe you've got a thinly disguised murder weapon type trophy thinly disguised murder thing that's built to look good for tv but actually if you fell on it it'd kill you well that's more of a negligence yeah but you could use it to kill a person couldn't you well just go just could you just hand me that that my trophy it's like oh i've dropped it it's gone in the art yes as i thought it's very dangerous yes i'm gonna smash my countdown uh ceramic teapot over your head to kill you, Nan. I don't know why Nan. Anyway, the scores are reset to zero at the beginning of each round. So, round
Starting point is 01:05:49 one, which is what we're going to be doing with this board game, says 20 questions are asked on the buzzer. There's no buzzer here. If a contestant misses, any of the three make a buzzer to respond. Each correct answer is to a video wall that are placed above the contestant's head so they cannot see it. The answers are used
Starting point is 01:06:05 for all questions in subsequent rounds. So because we're only going to play one round, we're not really going to get the benefit of the format of this show. I don't understand
Starting point is 01:06:11 a single thing about it. But the gist is that what we're looking at here is a, it's almost like a Connect 4 plastic grid, isn't it? Well, in that it's a grid.
Starting point is 01:06:20 It's plastic and it's got a similar shape to the Connect 4 build. And instead of those little round discs, it's got little swinging doors for cards. It's a grid. It's plastic, and it's got a similar shape to the Connect 4 build. And instead of those little round discs, it's got little swinging doors for cards. It's five cards high and four cards across, Paul. Yes, and behind each window is an answer. And that answer across all the rounds in the game are the same.
Starting point is 01:06:36 So whatever the answer to question 16 is, is the same answer in round two, in round three, in round four. I'm explaining this reasonably well. And when you get to round two, or round three, three or round four then you have to remember where the answers are okay but we won't be getting to round two because it'll go on forever and i'm already a bit disappointed with this shit because in my head i thought the quiz show was what's the capital of france and you go i don't know is it number 12 and they rotate 12 and it shows you biscuits and you go well it's not biscuits. And so a couple of questions on, someone goes,
Starting point is 01:07:07 what are McFitties known for? Oh, what was it? Oh, then you remember. Then it was behind 12. I thought that was the format, but apparently it's not. It's like, here's a grid. Here's all the answers in the same place, but you don't know where they are.
Starting point is 01:07:19 You've got to remember where they are for the next round. So I don't know. We're just going to play it and see what happens. And we'll have, hopefully, a lot of fun. I don't think so.'re just going to play it and see what happens and we'll have, hopefully, a lot of fun. I don't think so. There's not much about it on Wikipedia. There's the timer.
Starting point is 01:07:30 Which we don't need to use until the final round. Apparently. Because it's like the gold one. You've got to turn around and go, oh, I remember where the answer is.
Starting point is 01:07:38 Do you know what we call this egg timer in my family? Something amusing? The eggy woofter. Why? Because it's an egg timer. And then we just call it the woofter why because it's an egg and then we just call it the woofter right
Starting point is 01:07:48 what we're going to just do then is play the game as it is on the grid where we've got this big grid and you read an answer on the board and then
Starting point is 01:07:57 you get coins for winning I don't understand I do not understand we've both got me and Eli both have question cards between us and those question cards have questions on that numeric I've got mine Eli both have question cards between us.
Starting point is 01:08:05 And those question cards have questions on that numeric. I've got mine. You've got yours. Not between us. Well, between the two of us, we have question cards. Well, no, because we each have our own. Don't make this any worse than it has to be. I'm trying.
Starting point is 01:08:16 So we have question cards. And each question has a number. And that number affects the... Is on the grid. How? How? Who will have won? I don't...
Starting point is 01:08:26 You haven't... I ask you a question to the question number 42. If it's on there, we turn it round and if you get it right, then I'll ask you another question. Ask me.
Starting point is 01:08:36 I'll find you. This is weirdly uncomplicated and very complicated at the same time. I don't know what's going on here. You have a question card. Pick a number. I've got several. Pick a number and if's going on here. You have a question card. Pick a number. Pick a number, and if it's on the grid,
Starting point is 01:08:50 you can ask it. You ask it, I try and answer, then we turn it around and see who's won. Okay. Right? Yep. I don't think we've gotten the point of this game, but this is how we're going to play it. Just a little bit of general knowledge fun. Little general knowledge fun. Now, who wants to go first? You go first, Paul. I don't mind that at all. In what respect? Do you want me to ask the question first, or pick a question first? You pick a question first. Right. In that case, I'm going to... Oh, do we pick off the board? Off the board, Paul. I don't mind that at all. In what respect? Do you want me to ask the question first or pick a question first?
Starting point is 01:09:05 You pick a question first. Right. In that case, I'm going to... Oh, do we pick off the board? Off the board, yeah. Right. For today's players, it's the point of no return.
Starting point is 01:09:14 If they're having second thoughts, they can either try hard and hope for the best or not try at all and hope to be out first here on Perfect Recall. Oh, now, enough, enough, please. So I'm going to say question four, then. Have you got question four? This is fun, looking through the cards. I think to say question four then. Have you got question four?
Starting point is 01:09:46 This is fun. Looking through the cards. I think you have question four. I'll edit all this out, don't worry. I've got question card four here. All right. In that case, I'll have question four, please. Round one, question four.
Starting point is 01:09:57 Round one, question four. You're going to love this. Go on. Go on. In football. Oh, fucking hell. The FA Premier League was inaugurated in which year, Paul? In which year was the FA Premier year? Premier League.
Starting point is 01:10:11 Premier League. When did it first start, the Premier League? Inaugurated, yes. When was the Premier inaugurated? 96. It's a good guess. Shall I rotate it? Question four.
Starting point is 01:10:23 I'm rotating the screen. I don't know the answer, do I? Until you rotate it. Ding, ding, ding. 1992. I am wrong. You are wrong, so you don't get a token. Is it my turn now?
Starting point is 01:10:32 Is that how we're doing this? Answer two, please. Answer two. That one in the corner. Have I got number two? No, I've got it. No, but I might also have a question card number two. No, you won't.
Starting point is 01:10:43 I will, because there's enough. No, there's no duplicates. This is why you haven't got it. No, but I might also have a question card number two. No, you won't. I will, because there's enough. No, there's no duplicates. This is why you haven't got it right, mate. We'll just give you that question card then with number two on it. I'm sure I have number two. This is shit. We have not worked out the dynamic of this. No.
Starting point is 01:10:56 And that's the cheap show away. Right, question two. Torval and Dean won gold at the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo in which year? Oh, 85. 85, he says. I'm rotating the screen. Do you think I'm right? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:11:12 I would say mid-80s is a really good guess. I would say 89. You'd say later. I think earlier. So what are you going to stick with? I'm going to stick with 85. 85. Here we go.
Starting point is 01:11:21 Rotating the screen. Dibble, jibble, jibble. 84. What out? No points yet, sir. Squeaky, squeaky,

Starting point is 01:11:46 I've got 22. Oh, how fun. It's part of the game. Shit. Right, you want this question? Yeah. If you have a keen sense of smell... Yes.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Fuck me. You're said to have... If I have a keen sense of smell, I have to fuck you. I'm not doing that. You might smoke dirty. When was the last time you washed your fucking dirty ball palate? yeah got discussed this oh the dr boner yes dr

Starting point is 01:13:59 Right, next card. It's my turn. I will go with question seven. Have you got seven? We didn't need to split these up. We could have just put them in the middle of the table. I haven't got it. You've got it, turn. I will go with question seven. Have you got seven? We didn't need to split these up. We could have just put them in the middle of the table. I haven't got it.

Starting point is 01:14:47 This is question seven. Turn it around. Let's see. Where is it? Is it a middle C? I think you're going to be right. That's what I think. It's C.
Starting point is 01:14:54 It's a C. You get another token. Hey, ding-a-long-a-ling-a-long-a-ling. I've got two tokens and this is what I sing. Right, go on. Next. I would like question... What's that one?

Starting point is 01:15:40 Let's fucking jack it in and do the end of the show, Paul. Put some effort in you. I tried. I tried. I tried. But this game's shit. I'm going to go with question 48. Can't even see the bloody numbers in the questions.
Starting point is 01:15:52 Now, most of it is just us going, what's that number on there? And then going, where's the card? Oh, you've got it. Hand it over. Where's the gameplay? I'm not having fun. I'm having a very substandard gaming experience here. No, yes I am.
Starting point is 01:16:07 Mate, will you read that question out? I've picked... I forgot what... You're making me forget everything. I've dropped one of my tokens. Good, you got two. What's not on the table at the end doesn't count as a point, so you either get it now or it doesn't count as a point.
Starting point is 01:16:19 Oh, you cruel, cruel man. Come on. If you want to play the game and you want to win... Do you want to hear this question? Yeah. Right, so token stays on the floor. Still counts. Don't look at me like that.
Starting point is 01:16:28 I'm just going to eat your willy. You will not. Chewing it like a dog's toy. Listen. Like that. Don't try and nick things that my characters do. What? What do your characters do?
Starting point is 01:16:38 Firstly, you did... Your impression of fucking Wogan sounded just like Storytown Grandad. Storytown Grandad? Just like... You can cut it. Yeah, no, I'm not going to. Just like Storytime Grandad. Fuck you. Go on. And now, ooh, I'll eat the dick.
Starting point is 01:16:56 That's what Grandad, Storytime Grandad does. Yeah, but just like your characters, I intend to bolster them with some actual talent and creativity and thought. Are you ready for this question? And nuance. Are you ready for this question? Yes. Also, you said balls, I said dick. Genitals. No, penis is very different from a ball. If you ever chewed on a penis
Starting point is 01:17:16 and a balls, then you'll know the difference. Story time. This is irrelevant because story time grandad does the whole lot. A daily newspaper which was first published on the 15th of September 1964 is the sun. Is that there?
Starting point is 01:17:33 This is fun, this bit, when we look for the number on the grid and it doesn't matter. It's the sun. Ding, ding, ding. Right, so I've got three. That means you have to
Starting point is 01:17:41 get this one right to stay in the game, otherwise I win. Okay, fine. All right, here we go. What number do you want? This is shit, man. This is not shit.
Starting point is 01:17:49 This is a great game. Number six. Number six. Here we go. Let's have a look at number six, shall we? I've got it here. Big surprise. Number six.
Starting point is 01:17:57 Where's that one at the top? Right. Oh, Terry. Even your status as a national treasure couldn't save this. That's why I only rasted fucking two years. This is terrible. It's not very good.
Starting point is 01:18:07 You know what? On behalf of Cheap Show and Gannon's Golden Games, I apologize. This game sucks, man. Here's your question, anyway. It was cheap, though, wasn't it? Yeah, it was cheap. I got it for like £3 and on eBay. And when I got it, it was absolutely brand new.
Starting point is 01:18:19 It's mint on card. Mint on card! We've been popping these tokens out of the... Fresh from the board. Fresh from the board fresh from the board satisfying yeah I'll say that for you
Starting point is 01:18:27 that's nice that's probably been the best bit about this here's your question then pop a pop I hope I can pop my third one out I hope you can do that too
Starting point is 01:18:33 but you won't really it's a hard question is it what does the French word je translate as what does the French word

Starting point is 01:19:53 It's I. What are you... Jeremy, fuck. This is twice now. You've gone... Can I pop it out myself? Yeah, you pop it out. Right, we're going to sudden death then.
Starting point is 01:20:04 All right. We are neck and neck on the tokens. I tell you what, because all the answers are the same, you can ask any question you like from this point on from the card. What do you mean? It's like round one, round two, round three, round four, but all the answers are the same. So no matter what the answer to answer 16 is,
Starting point is 01:20:15 it will always be the same for each question. Well, they're meant to get harder, doesn't it? Yeah. So let's give you a hard one. I want round four, and I want question 12. Okay. Have you got it? Yes. All right, cool. Round I want question 12. Okay. Have you got it? Yes. All right cool. You pick any question you want on that card for round for question 12
Starting point is 01:20:36 Round four though. Whatever you want. Whatever one you want. Whatever you think will trick me. Because if I get this one, then you have to get the next one right to win. Oh it's sudden death. Ah nice. Yeah. It's sudden death. Come on, pick a question that you think is gonna get me. Just. It's on death. Come on, pick a question then that you think is going to get me. There's only eight of them. Pick one. I've got one.
Starting point is 01:20:50 Right, good. Paul. Yes. Answer me this, if you will. I'll try. And remember, it's sudden death. Yes. So if you get this wrong, and I get mine right, you win and I'll out. You die.
Starting point is 01:21:00 Yeah, that's right. Ah ha ha ha. Come on then. I've got this question for you. Please, please, please. Ha ha ha ha. Come on then. I've got this question for you. Please. Please. Please. Paul, where do Monroe...
Starting point is 01:21:11 It was like this fucking guy was in the taxi with today. At one point, because of these conversations, I didn't know what he was going to say. And he was like, I went to this hospital the other day. And I was like, yeah. And I don't know if he was going to say, it was a shit fest, horrible place, or it was a wonderful hospital. Right. And I was wondering which side he was going to go on so I knew
Starting point is 01:21:25 what to do and then he went went to this hospital the other day yeah oh you wouldn't believe it go on oh if I told you
Starting point is 01:21:33 alright it's just oh sometimes you think what and you think I don't know what you think what's your opinion
Starting point is 01:21:38 so I went to this hospital yeah oh and you wouldn't believe it what the fuck it was a shit hole right? It was a shit hole. Right. Okay. It was a shit hole. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:47 That's fine. You ready for your last question? Yes. Possibly your last question. Yes. Where do
Starting point is 01:21:51 Monroe baggers head? Where does Monroe baggers head? I knew you'd
Starting point is 01:21:58 like this, John. How is Monroe baggers spelled? Where do Monroe
Starting point is 01:22:03 baggers head? Where do Monroe Baggers head? Where do Munro Baggers head? Perfectly normal. Nothing about this makes sense. I don't understand any of the words in that sentence. I can see why Total Recall makes sense in round three or four.
Starting point is 01:22:17 Because if you don't know the answer, you may have answered the same answer in an earlier question earlier in the game. We're not playing it right. We're not playing it right. And we are, in terms of this show, suffering as a result. No, no. We're not playing it right. We're not playing it right. And we are, in terms of this show, suffering as a result. Oh, no. So, I don't know. You have to play multiple rounds.
Starting point is 01:22:30 Is it two? Can you play it with two? Yeah, you can play it with up to like four or five, I think. Yeah, but what I mean is can you play it with as little as two? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:37 Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, I'm going to say north. Right. Turn it over. What is it? Question 12. Yes.
Starting point is 01:22:44 Munro baggers head. Where do they head? You said north. Let's see where they actually head. Here we go. I'm going to reveal it. Scotland. I guess that's close.
Starting point is 01:22:54 I have no idea what a Munro bagger is. It sounds like something from the fucking Lord of the Rings. Yes. Oh, where's old Munro bagger? It really does. Oh, he's giving the old white wizard a fucking big old job. This links in with your whole theme of places in Scotland not actually existing. There's no such place as Scotland.
Starting point is 01:23:11 I don't understand why people can't understand that. Scotland hasn't existed since about, I think, 1840, something like that. Check the internet. Do your own research, yeah. Right, so I got that wrong, so no for me. So you get to pick a question now. This is my chance to knock you out. You could win this.
Starting point is 01:23:27 Win this. This could be an episode of Eli Wins. Golden Games. I could win both segments. You could. This could be your clean sweep episode. Right, it's your... I need to pick a number.
Starting point is 01:23:37 Any number you want, mate. I'm feeling 1974. 47. 47. Have I got 47? Come on, baby. Let's have it. Nice easy one. You get to pick the most obscure clue on the card, of course. Right, there it is. Here. 47. Come on, baby. Let's have it. Nice easy one.
Starting point is 01:23:46 You get to pick the most obscure clue on the card, of course. Right. There it is. Here we go. I'm going to try and find the right bugger for you. I did. Because a lot of them were easy for Scotland. Right.
Starting point is 01:23:54 Right. I'm going to read it just as it is on the card. Okay. And again, this probably helps if you've played the game the first few rounds and you know what the answers are. But let's see. The question is, the assembled guard in Dad's army. The assembled guard in dad's army the assembled guard in dad's army what's the answer well i don't know the assembled guard in dad's army territorial he's pushing it over do you want to stick with territorial
Starting point is 01:24:18 home home guard the home guard is the assembled guard in Dad's army called the Home Guard. Let's find out. Come on, Eli! Swoop into victory! Blow! Ah, fuck off! It is indeed Home. Eli has won, and he has won Total Recall. Hand me that token. Hello there, Eli. Perfect Recall. Perfect Recall. I can't even remember it.
Starting point is 01:24:42 It's ironic in many respects, maybe, that a game called Perfect Recall is utterly unrememberable. Yeah, well, it was fun. Eli won. Eli, you have won fair and square. You have beaten the show, the format, and importantly, my soul today.
Starting point is 01:24:58 I know, sorry. Come on, you're happy. We can both celebrate my victory in Brand Off. Off-Brand Brand Off. No, it was good. It was a textbook, textbook example of the show. I did a swapped around, swapped the beans around right at the last minute. Beautiful stuff.
Starting point is 01:25:13 I'm not complaining. This is an Eli show this week. We start the show by saying Eli sets housekeeping at the end then. Yeah, let's do that because that will be interesting. Join us after the sound effect. Hey, Paul. Yeah, Eli. What did you say the deadline for the Eurovision
Starting point is 01:25:29 song contest entrance was? I didn't. Moving on, you slowed it. You will be jibber. I mean, you can't just say you will be jibber. Take it again. Hey, Paul. Yeah. When did you say the deadline was for that song contest that we're running later this year?
Starting point is 01:25:47 The Eurovision 2021. Did you say there was some kind of deadline where people need to get their entries? Yes. I would like your entries by the end of April. End of April is the cutoff point. The last day of April, no more songs will be admitted. I will get rid of them. Unless we only get two.
Starting point is 01:26:04 And then I'll put them on. It won't be like that. We've already had two in. And we had 13 entries last year. Maybe there'll be more. Maybe there'll be less. We just don't know. But now is your chance. And also, I forgot to mention, ah, if you just want to hear the songs from that episode, because it was a three-hour episode,
Starting point is 01:26:19 if you just want to hear all the music and a few surprises, you can download the whole album now on Bandcamp. Well done. You managed to get it. For free. Yes it yes for free but you can put a donation on there if you want but i'll put a link in the description for this podcast but also there'll be if you just look for bandcamp cheap show podcast you'll download the only album well done for which is your envision 2020 with all the songs like the between and dance of the colored blocks that was the winner fruit salad which was universally reviled, but I want more of that.
Starting point is 01:26:47 No, not, I mean, you'd like some variation. Some variation, but I like the wild card nature of it. Perhaps the creator of fruit salad will do an updated version. Everyone's invited from around the world, a global competition.
Starting point is 01:27:01 Not just Europe. Not just Europe. Not just Europe. No, it's a world show. And we'll get all those judges back, hopefully, to do another judging. And on the 21st of May, live on Twitch, we will do your Envision 2021 live.
Starting point is 01:27:14 And you can watch it, hopefully, unless lockdown happens and we're all fucked again. Because, you know, this country. Could happen. Right. So that's to bear in mind. Now, Eli, with that all said and done, you can do the admin.
