CheapShow - Ep 328: This Is Not What A Podcast Should Do

Episode Date: April 14, 2023

It’s an emotional rollercoaster this week on CheapShow with bitter rants, over-excited expostulations, sober moments of clarity and confusing arguments! It begins with Eli desperately trying to cram... another new character in the show and only gets more unhinged from there. Paul is not impressed with Eli’s increasingly poor creative choices and there is going to be tears before bedtime, or at least by the end of the episode. In Charity Shop Showcase, Eli has sourced two very unusual discoveries for Paul to peruse. Whilst one of them is conceptually very confusing, the second one tickles all of Paul’s fancies. To end the episode, it's a bumper sized Price of Shite, with six items to delight and bemuse. Will this be Eli’s finest hour? Knowing Paul’s luck, then yes, it could very well be!

Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello! Hello! It's Cheap Show! Everybody, welcome back to Cheap Show! Episode 2! I am Paul Gannon. Hi, I'm Eli Silverman. And this is the Economy Comedy Podcast, recorded live at the Camden Head Pub. No, it's not. No, it's not.
Starting point is 00:00:31 It's episode 328, mate. Is it? Yeah. Yay. It's 328th episode of Cheap Show. And as 11.1, our long-time theme tune, recedes into the distance, Paul.
Starting point is 00:00:46 The Mike Vickers Orchestra. Who's that picture? It's a man. Why is there suddenly a man on the telly who looks sad? He looks like a man who's contemplating...
Starting point is 00:00:55 Death. Yeah. He's like, I don't know. He's a grey, boring man. Is that Mike Vickers? I don't know. What the fuck is going on with that?
Starting point is 00:01:01 I know we found this video to that song on YouTube, but now there's a video of a man in a distressed flat. What's that wallpaper? It looks like it's all burnt out. No, that's just someone who's a set decorator. They shat all over the wall.
Starting point is 00:01:14 No, it's a set decorator. It's a TV set, obviously. Yeah, but... Someone's just quickly stippled the side of a piece of set. Stippled it, Paul. Stippled it? Yeah. Stippled the set.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Do you know what I'm getting at, though? I'm getting at, Paul. Do you know what I mean? Come up with something new. Oh,led it, Paul. Stippled it. Yeah. Stippled the set. Do you know what I'm getting at, though? I'll get it at, Paul. Do you know what I mean? Come up with something new. Oh, let's play this because it was on some fucking thing. That'll be good.
Starting point is 00:01:32 That'll be a great jumping off point. No, it's not. Who are all these cunts? Are these all wrestlers? Oh, fuck off. There's Big Daddy and Giant Ace.
Starting point is 00:01:39 I recognise those two. And there's a man there who's, look, he's dressed up as an Indian, American Indian Native American. Oh dear. I don't know. Me getting the
Starting point is 00:01:49 phrase wrong is not bad. Him dressed up like that is bad. He might be a Native American person, you never know. He might. I very much doubt in English wrestling at that time there was a genuine Native American. A chief he might have. Yeah, because his name was probably. This isn't going in.
Starting point is 00:02:05 This is probably. Fuck this. What do we start again? I think we should start again. This is going in. This is terrible. I'll fucking decide what's going in. This is a melee of terribleness. We don't want to start again with another weak fucking arse opening. I don't know what's going on.
Starting point is 00:02:21 Have you got a weak arse opening? Is that what you're saying? No I won't go there you will go there you'll go there because I'll tell you to I don't feel like because I pay you the money and if I say
Starting point is 00:02:31 Eli needs to be a dirty little mink this week then he's going to be a dirty little mink isn't he no he's going to be
Starting point is 00:02:38 you will I'll tell you what you do each week mate I actually do I'll tell you what I do I feel very weak mate I'm in a really combative mood this week.
Starting point is 00:02:46 I feel really weak. And if you step out of line, I'll put you back in line. Oh, yeah? With what? With discipline and harsh words. How will you enforce
Starting point is 00:02:55 the discipline? Why have you got a red eye? Why is your left eye red? I've been rubbing it. I feel hay fever-y. Why have you been rubbing your red eye? I have hay fever.
Starting point is 00:03:02 You're disgusting. I feel short of breath and weak. And I don't want to make this the opening. I have hay fever. You're disgusting. I feel short of breath and weak. And I don't want to make this the opening. I don't want this to be the opening
Starting point is 00:03:10 of this podcast this week. It doesn't reflect well on me. Why? You know, it's alright for you. You're just completely
Starting point is 00:03:18 unfunny and shit every single thing you ever say. But I've got bits where I get better, I get worse. You don't. You're such an awful, awful, awful co-host.
Starting point is 00:03:31 Oh. You don't give. I give. You just take. I give. I'll give you something now. All right, then give me something. Fine, here's a trolley.
Starting point is 00:03:40 What's this on the trolley? It's fruit pool. That's all you've got? Can you? A fruit trolley. No, there's all different types. Not even a real fruit trolley. One's fruit pool. That's all you've got? Can you... A fruit trolley? No, there's all different types. Not even a real fruit trolley. One I have to imagine.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Yes, imagine this... What if I imagine it's shit? Therefore, you've given me a shit fruit trolley. It's not a shit trolley. Yeah, but I imagine this is shit. It can be. What I'm seeing now is a rickety old wooden trolley. With turds on.
Starting point is 00:03:58 With half a banana on the top and it's gone brown. Well, what can you do with that? Nothing. What can you do with half a banana? Fuck it. Is that what you want? I want it. I'm going to fuck that half a banana
Starting point is 00:04:07 on your rickety table trolley. Now we're on the same page with this trolley. I'll bring it on again. All right. Squeaky, squeaky. It's a trolley full of fruit-shaped dildos. Ram it! Ram it!
Starting point is 00:04:18 Oh, dear. Oh, dear. It was all going so well, wasn't it? Oh, Ram the dildos. so well, wasn't it? Oh, all going so well. And then Eli went straight to fruit arse interface comedy, didn't he? I'm trying. I'm trying to give you something. Yes, you are very trying.
Starting point is 00:04:34 And all you've given me is an imaginary fruit trolley with dildos on. That's all you've given me. How can you tell it's a fruit trolley if it's only got dildos? Because you just said it was a fruit trolley covered in fruity dildos. Yeah, like the pineapple. How is that pineapple going to work? You start with the banana and then when you're ready,
Starting point is 00:04:52 you go to the pineapple. It's pineapples at the top of the range. Where do you go after banana? What's next on your list? On your list of fruit, like banana to pineapple, what's the scale? Strawberry.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Before banana or after banana? Before. All right, because you just made this sound of fruit like banana to pineapple what's the scale strawberry strawberries before banana or after banana before alright because you just made this sound like bananas first you pop it in it's like a little plug
Starting point is 00:05:12 what a bunch of grapes how are you going to get them in is it a grape at a time it's a bunch of grapes it's actually in a row like a sex bead row of grapes
Starting point is 00:05:19 you have to design things because they're in a row so they're not on bunches but they're in a row oh yeah so there we go so then then are we going to what kiwi is kiwi up there You have to design things because they're in a row. So they're not on bunches, but they're in a row. Oh, yeah. So there we go. So then are we going to what?
Starting point is 00:05:28 Kiwi? Is kiwi up there? Is kiwi our thing? Peach or apricot? There's no other fucking shapes, are there? They're all round. They're all round until you get to a big fucking pineapple. That's a bit of a spike in the difficulty curve, isn't it? Well, I didn't...
Starting point is 00:05:42 Isn't it? It's like, oh, I've been limbering up. I've managed to get an apricot in. But, oh, it's a big step up, isn't it? I didn't isn't it it's like oh I've been limbering up I've managed to get an apricot in but oh it's a big step up isn't it it's a big step up a pineapple

But he's Jiminy, on calling characters Jimmy. You know that. I know that. They're known Jims. But he's Jiminy, isn't he? Jiminy Cricket.
Starting point is 00:07:50 Jiminy Cricket. But how? Just the lack of... Jim Nim Niminy Cricket is his name. Jim Nim Niminy Cricket. Jim Nim Niminy. And what's he do? Why do you think he should have done something?
Starting point is 00:08:02 Why? He could have come on and told some Irish jokes, couldn't he? Which is good. But why did you have that idea just then? I'm sitting here with you. It's because he was in here with us. There was silence as you pressed record. And I saw your eyes flicker.
Starting point is 00:08:13 And then that's what happened. For some reason, the picture of a sausage reminded me of Jiminy Cricket. It meant you have an Irish caricature. Jiminy. Well, shall I go now, Paul? Fuck off. I think you should. He just popped by to say hello and talk about his latest comedy tour.

Did you see I did an anti-joke there, Paul? Because I was like, I did a joke by not saying anything because it related to the word that you'd said. So it was like, I did a joke by not saying anything, because it related to the word that you'd said. So it was like the
Starting point is 00:11:27 inverse of a joke. You see, what you did there, if you don't mind me being glib, is... Oh, please be glib away, glib up, glib me down. Your anti-joke was an antidote to common comedy tropes

Starting point is 00:14:57 I said to her, Dora, don't do the dildo thing. Don't do the dildo. Right, and that's your two minutes of Eli because fuck me. That was appalling. I thought you had something else going on.
Starting point is 00:15:07 I do. I'll put the wheelbarrow back, okay? I'll bring something else out. Mate, no, you said to me you had something you wanted to say. I've got one of those pallet movers. Oh, no. I've got a forklift pallet mover. I am very close, very close, Eli,
Starting point is 00:15:21 to just pushing you on the floor and stamping my heel into your forehead. As if you could do that. stamping my heel into your forehead. As if you could do that. Get you out of the way. I doubt there's threats of violence. Get you out of the way. These play well with our listenership. Well, do something.
Starting point is 00:15:30 I've done so many things. You've done nothing. I have. You've done nothing. Right, so I get something else out then. But you have to go along with it. You said you had something. You have to go along with it.
Starting point is 00:15:40 One minute. Oh, it's a remote, one of those remote, big, what are they called? Remote dildos, is it? No. Is it a remote control dildo? Is it a dildo on wheels that I have to stand in front of or behind and then drop down on?
Starting point is 00:15:52 This is all very... And then what? There's a dildo in my arse with wheels beneath and then you start scooting me around the room on my four wheel dildo? And put rockets on the back of it. What, and that pushes me in the sky now, does it? So now I'm a hovering wheeled man with a remote-controlled car dildo up his bottom, going around and around in the air, Eli. Is that the best you've got? Is that all you've really got?
Starting point is 00:16:13 A remote-controlled cock? Oh, I think we're going to actually have to stop doing it. I can't be myself. I can't be normal. This isn't yourself. You are normal. We spent many hours before we record a podcast where we're normal. And then I press record and you go bing bong, widdle widdle, flop flop, bonk, don't you?

So, Paul, are you ready to play? Sorry, I was eating salt and pepper nuts. You certainly were, weren't you? I like salt and pepper nuts. Are they good? Do they have any spice to them?

Starting point is 00:20:03 I've got two segments. Two mini-segments. Two sub-segments. Let's go to the first item in our Charity Shop Showcase. Say that. And then I'll do the da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da. Okay. So everyone, let's now go to the first item on this week's Charity Shop Showcase.
Starting point is 00:20:19 It's the Charity Shop Showcase tonight. Now, this is a Sylvester the Cat themed flying carpet toy. I have many, many, many questions. Conceptually, what the fuck? Well, you can see the photos of this on the website. You can. Thecheapshow.co.uk.
Starting point is 00:20:41 It's a toy and it depicts a magic carpet, I'd say. Yeah. Would you say? Well, yeah, it is a carpet that flies. It's a carpet. It's curved, wavy purple carpet with bright yellow trimmings and nice hangy-down curtain bits at the end. But it looks like a kind of hot rod car almost,
Starting point is 00:21:01 the way it's been sculpted to have Sylvester's head popping out the front of the bubble. Well, that's the other thing's been sculpted to have Sylvester's head popping out the front of the bubble. Well, that's the other thing I was just about to get to. And in a clear plastic bubble at the front of this device is Sylvester the Cat.
Starting point is 00:21:13 I don't get it. It's an official Looney Tunes toy, right? Yeah. I don't know. I don't think so. Isn't it? I thought it said
Starting point is 00:21:19 licensed by Looney Tunes or something at the back of this. Please do. 1999 play-by-play made in China. Now, it has a battery pack. So, and I can tell you now, Paul, I got it working. I unscrewed it today and put some fresh batteries in.
Starting point is 00:21:36 There weren't any in there. So all it says here is not too much more than you've said. Talking Sylvester the Cat on Magic Carpet 1999 Play-By-Play. Play-By-Play is obviously the company. But I don't, I conceptually don't understand it. Because A, why is Sylvester why is this a Looney Tunes thing unless it's a
Starting point is 00:21:53 knock-off, right? Now, I think there was a short, a cartoon, that he was in where he somehow got access to a magic carpet and he used it to try and rise up and get to E-Bird. Okay, fine. So I think it fits in terms of it's been something
Starting point is 00:22:08 that's been on the cartoons that he used before. Okay, but now next question is... Am I right? No, I don't remember it off the top of my head. It doesn't ring a bell.
Starting point is 00:22:15 However, that's fine. But why isn't there a big plastic Sylvester cat on there? Why is it just his head poking out like it's a spacecraft? Because I get the feeling
Starting point is 00:22:24 it was cheaply manufactured. And I thought it was going to move around. I thought it had wheels on. out like it's a spacecraft. Because I get the feeling it was cheaply manufactured. And I thought it was going to move around. I thought it had wheels on. No, it does have a thing.
Starting point is 00:22:30 It does, Paul. It has batteries. So if you'd like to depress Sylvester's head. So I'm going to put this down on the table, right?
Starting point is 00:22:37 And I'm going to tell you what, I'll take the microphone off so we can hear this. And you'll see the out. I'm now off the
Starting point is 00:22:41 stand, Eli, and I'm roving. Okay. So I'm just going to put that on here. I have fresh batteries today stand, Eli, and I'm roving. Okay. So I'm just going to put that on here. I have fresh batteries today, and so it's very much working. Here we go. I'm putting the microphone up towards it.
Starting point is 00:22:51 I just press the head, you say, sir? Press Sylvester's head. And now, fortune teller. Tweety, if you please. It's a fortune teller. Oh, it's like a kind of Zoltar thing. An eight ball, yeah. Magic eight ball.
Starting point is 00:23:09 So do I ask it a question? Yeah, go on. Sylvester, will Cheap Show reach a million listens in this one episode? As I was saying, I don't know. He doesn't know. I thought I was about to say I didn't know if that was in English or not then. All right, next one. Will Eli have sex before the end of this year, 2023?
Starting point is 00:23:30 You bet your sweet Bippy. Oh, yeah, good. You bet your sweet Betsy that you're going to get nutted. So sometimes it's his voice. And sometimes it sounds like Tweety. And sometimes it sounds like mini Sylvester from the mini Looney Tunes. I really get the feeling that I get the feeling that Play By Play did not
Starting point is 00:23:48 get any permission. That's right. So it's weird. And we should say the little lights actually come. There's a green and a red light by the base of his neck where it joins the carpet, and they come on every time you depress
Starting point is 00:24:04 it. Oh, I don't know. That's Bugs Bunny. Yeah, that's Bugs Bunny. You're right. So it's just all the Looney Tunes. They must have just taken clips of all sorts of bits and bobs. They must have found
Starting point is 00:24:15 some kind of library of audio clips, right? That's what it feels like. Yeah. That sounds super. All right, well, there you go. I think the fortune-telling aspect of it kind of goes with the magic carpet, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:24:29 Because you get crystal balls and magic carpets. It's all part of that weird, you know, mystic, fortune-telling sort of tropes. Because it's unfamiliar and foreign, therefore it's more magical, therefore real. Do you know what I'm getting at with that? I do. Why Sylvester?
Starting point is 00:24:43 Why not put bunny bugs? Why that design? Why not make Bunny Bugs? Why that design? Why not make it like a little Zoltar machine with Looney Tunes characters in? It just feels completely like it wasn't the license. They don't care as much, though, as a company like Disney, or didn't at the time, did they?
Starting point is 00:24:59 I think 1999 was at the height of the Warner characters being used on clothing and stuff and hip-hop and shit. Was that the era? No, it was a little bit before that. But they were certainly rinsing those characters for all sorts of merch for the stores and things like that. And I think it was just such a popular thing to put on something. I will say this. Play-by-Play, the company, does have a Looney Tunes license.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Okay, there you go. They also have Peppa Pig, Lilo & Stitch, and Looney Tunes. And they just make crappy toys. Is that what they do? Apparently. But it looks like they make crappy toys based on lucrative licenses that are popular with kids currently. Like they have a Despicable Me thing.
Starting point is 00:25:39 DC, Attack on Titan, Paw Patrol. They literally have their fingers in everything. But it's just such a strange thing because Sylvester's's not even the top-tier Looney Tunes character. Why wouldn't you put Bugs in it? Oh, well, this is what I wanted to ask you, Paul. What would be your... Who's your favourite Looney Tunes character? Well, my favourite is Daffy. Yeah, same here.
Starting point is 00:25:57 It's just because he's the funniest and the most interesting. Bugs is a bit of a wise-ass, but at least Bugs is playful. Well, he's meant to be the everyman to some extent, isn't he? And that's why it was better. I just don't get the point of this toy. What would a kid want with a... It's just a noise box. It makes a noise, you know. And now, Fortune Triller.
Starting point is 00:26:18 Tweety, if you please. Oh, he's repeating it. That's the first time I've heard it repeat. Boy, talk about a limited range of interests. That's Bugs, isn't it? No, that's repeating it. That's the first time I've heard it repeat. Boy, talk about a limited range of in-twists. That's Bugs, isn't it? No, that was Tweety. Oh, yeah. Because of the speech impediment thing. They were all made by one man, weren't they?
Starting point is 00:26:32 Well, they were, yeah, originally. You know what? We're jumping to the part where we say, is it a showcase item? I need to ask you. Well, I've produced the items today, Paul. And I need to ask you, do you think this goes into the van
Starting point is 00:26:46 and then is driven to the storage unit? He's looking at the time, everyone. It's just simple. Or is it a showcase or a show waste? You were literally, moments before we recorded
Starting point is 00:26:57 this segment, going, no, Paul, there's a very big justification of cheap. It's all this, right? And so I thought, right, okay. We're doing showcase or show waste as we listened back and figured it out.
Starting point is 00:27:12 And now you're going around the garden path, aren't you, again, to get to some whimsical new way of adjudicating this shit. All I'm saying is it needs to be taken in a van to the place where the showcase is if you decide it's a showcase. Or, Paul, is it a show waste? in a van to the place where the showcase is if you decide it's a showcase or paul is it a show waste if it's a show waste if it's a show waste i'll take it back
Starting point is 00:27:31 on the trolley it goes in the trolley with all your fruit dildos yes god this fucking show um right this is a show it's a show waste you don't like it no not really give some reasoning uh i don't like its design it looks cheap it's conceptually inconsistent why have him just his head coming out of a bubble on a magic carpet why when all the voices come from different looney tunes characters it's not even a very good fortune telling device because it's not very random it seems to only have like four maybe five statements so you know if you don't like will i ever meet my true love just hit it four more times and wait for the answer you want yeah okay it's not very good thing no but it was going for like five six quid on ebay it i got it for two oh see that's all right you see on that respect okay for me it's
Starting point is 00:28:20 a bit of a show waste as well i was hoping hoping for more from the voices. Well, exactly not. The chip, the sound chip isn't good quality either. No, not really. There's no real speaker part. You know, a similar device that we had on the show was what was given to me, that Godzilla money box. Yeah, that was good. Which is so much better.
Starting point is 00:28:37 I'd even prefer the Zoltar machine we had on a few years ago. Little shitty plasticky thing, but at least it gives you random things. It's in that family. This is random. There's way more statements with the Zoltar.
Starting point is 00:28:49 Oh no it's not. It keeps coming back to that. Maybe it turns itself off and that's the first statement. Yeah so then
Starting point is 00:28:54 after that it becomes a thing. Well it wouldn't work for me either Paul. No well it doesn't work for me so shall we
Starting point is 00:28:59 take a little moment breather and then come back for your second item. Of course. It's the charity shop
Starting point is 00:29:09 showcase part two. Part two? Part two. Here is your second item. I look forward to it. For your perusal. I'm open to your
Starting point is 00:29:17 second offering. Okay. I am agape waiting for your massive second offering, Eli. Second offering.
Starting point is 00:29:25 Yeah. I've had you first. There was a bit of weak sauce, but this one. I'm hoping this does get into the showcase because I saw this and I thought of you. It's a book. Let me just let you discover it for yourself. I'm going to hand it over. It's a book and you thought
Starting point is 00:29:41 of me when you saw it. That's the setup. Yes. Now I'm going to hand it to you. Describe it to our dear listeners. Oh, it's a book and you thought of me when you saw it. That's the setup. Yes, now I'm going to hand it to you. Describe it to our dear listeners. Oh, it's a book called Sexy Sailors. Oh, I wonder why you thought of me when you saw this. Because I want to see you as a dirty sailor in a cabaret review. Boop, boop. I'm Popeye.
Starting point is 00:30:02 I'm Popeye the bombing man. No, I'm not. I bomb a can the bombing man. I'm not the bombing man. I bomb a can of Spam. I unscrew the top and spock up my mark into the fucking Spam. See, I wasn't going to stop that, but I like where it went, so it's all right. I'm Spoffy the sailor Spam. I spoff in my caravan. And when I feel silly, it comes out my willy.
Starting point is 00:30:35 I'm Spoffy the fucking ate my own guts for saying this song. And suddenly, we're back. We're back. We're back. Oh, you know what? I take it back. This is a good book. It is.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Have you seen it before? No no i've not seen it before it's called spectropia or surprising spectral illusions showing ghosts everywhere and of any color by jh brown it's published by whitstable and walsall and it is a elusive says on the back it says illusionary images have fascinated and astonished through the ages in this facsimile reissue of a book first published in 1863. Nice. It is difficult to believe that our eyes are not deceiving us as a ghost appears everywhere.
Starting point is 00:31:13 And in colour. No technical knowledge or apparatus is needed. Simply follow the instructions and be amazed. Now, there is this, it's the illusion that you must have seen before, where you stare at something, close your eyes, move the book and it's something else. Yes, that's right.
Starting point is 00:31:28 But it has a bit that explains the science to you in the beginning of this book. Does it? And what happens with the cells at the back of the retina. And it has a little... What is that? A little insert. I'm just reading it now. A little insert. There's a little insert.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Follow the instructions and be amazed. For each illusion, look first at the black spot or asterisk while counting to 20, and then at a wall or ceiling, preferably of a light colour. Now, luckily, we have a wall. Are you going to try it out? I'm going to try it out now. Obviously, it's an audio podcast, so it's not going to completely translate, but I'll do my best to impart my findings to you.
Starting point is 00:32:03 Paul, even if it was a visual podcast. Part my findings. Even if it was a visual podcast, you'd be unable to communicate your subjective experience to everyone. The audio nature doesn't. Because how are they going to get into your visual cortex? We could do it as a video and put it up on YouTube, couldn't we? But you can't see the image then, could you?
Starting point is 00:32:28 You couldn't see the image because you have to be you. Oh, you say let them do it at home. I could do that if this was a visual medium, but it's not, so I have to impart my findings. You could do a Paul Daniels, put your hand up against the telly, put your willy up against the telly. Paul Daniels put his willy on the telly, did he? No, he did something where he was like, we're going to stop this
Starting point is 00:32:45 clock together. That was like Uri Geller or something like that. Yeah, but I'm sure they've all done it, haven't they? Anyway, it says so the image will appear on that wall. Blink while looking at the wall, etc. And the image will move about. There's lots of stuff in here. Do the first one. They are colour as well. Yeah. No, they are. They're nice.
Starting point is 00:33:02 Oh, to see spectres are only necessary to look steadily at the dot or asterisk so yeah it's a bit more an elaborate version of what we've been told probably in the an old uh old-timey language oh there's a list of plates it says here plate one this winged figure of victory will give a white specter by artificial light plate two this black figure will give a white specter so it does the opposite this purple hand will give you a yellow spectre. So it does the opposite. This purple hand will give you a yellow spectre. And there's been, I've seen
Starting point is 00:33:27 updated versions of this illusion, Paul. Have you seen where they have an actual photograph? Yeah. And because of the way
Starting point is 00:33:33 they colour it, because when you look away and you look onto the blank surface, the opposite will do the opposite colour. So there's some
Starting point is 00:33:42 modern versions where they're like photos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It looks like they're weird colours, but then when you look on a thing, it all comes colour. So there's some modern versions where they're like photos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It looks like they're weird colours, but then when you look on a thing, it all comes colour. Yeah. Do you remember those toys
Starting point is 00:33:50 used to get in like cereal? Maybe it was cereal. I think it was cereal. Cereal. Where it was like a little very thin plastic thing with nudges in. Nubbles and nudges, right?
Starting point is 00:34:00 But the idea was flat. It didn't look like anything but a bit of dimple plastic. Dimples. That's the word you were looking for.ges nubbles dimples but when you hold it to the light the light comes in and because the depth of the thing it then shows you a black and white image like a gray scale i never saw those i'd love to see one of those i remember like i want to say like as a sports thing where when i held up to the light it was like a football field and you can see people but like when the light came through there was like definition that you couldn't see before
Starting point is 00:34:28 a bit like you know in the haunted mansion that's um that statue head that when you move past it looks like it's following you but actually it's not it's concave it's concave that's another um illusion that's a different illusion all right so i'm going to pick one of these at random i'm going to pick i like this color one i'm going to pick pick a colour one because the first few are sort of black and white I like the skeleton one though pushing the rod it's kind of cool
Starting point is 00:34:50 illustration isn't it yeah they're spooky they're all very odd period there'll be pictures on our website anyway this red figure will give you a green spectre
Starting point is 00:34:58 okay try that right okay so there is a oh yeah I'm just trying to see where the little dot was to stare at and some image
Starting point is 00:35:03 where is it well in this one it's right underneath the skeleton's chin. It's quite tiny. Oh, it's almost like a find the dot game as well. Yeah. So I'm just going to stare. I guess I stare at this image now where the dot is for 20 seconds,
Starting point is 00:35:16 and then I close my eyes and then open them at the thing or go straight to the blank wall. What does it say on the paper? Stare at the thing and then stare at a clear sky or a wall. You don't have to close your eyes in between. Here we go. 20 seconds starting now. 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi,
Starting point is 00:35:34 3 Mississippi, 4 Mississippi, 5 Mississippi, 7... Yeah, mate. Why did I say Mississippi? Anyway, we're probably on 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Nothing. I couldn't get to work.
Starting point is 00:35:55 There's not enough light in here. No, I'm going to do it again, and then we'll just edit this 20 seconds out, but let me just stay with it proper. Right, here we go. Keep it flat. I'm doing my best. Shut up. Alright, you ready? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:07 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 6,000, 7,000, 8,000, 9,000, 10,000, 11,000, 12,000, 13,000, 14,000, 15,000, 16,000, 17,000, 18,000, 19,000,
Starting point is 00:36:24 20. Nothing. Give it to me. You have a go. I'll have a go, yeah? I'm going to look right there. You just needed to pick a proper... Yeah, but that's a bit too dark, that,
Starting point is 00:36:34 because it's a terracotta, isn't it? You want something like a light. Isn't it? You want a light? That's why I looked at that wall. Terracotta. It is. It's terracotta.
Starting point is 00:36:44 Oh, I need to meet him now. Terry Cotter. Yeah. He's definitely Scouse. And I dare, mate. I'm Teddy Scott. Terry Cotter. Terry Cotter.
Starting point is 00:36:55 Right, what did you say? What are you going to do? I'm going to try the blue figure. Where's the dot on that? Where is it? Where's the dot on the blue? I see it, yeah. Where is it?
Starting point is 00:37:03 Is it on the... It's very faint. It's very faint on the image this time as well where is it is it on it's very faint very faint on the image this time as well yeah okay all right okay go ready yeah go one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen fifteen sixteen seventeen eighteen nineteen oh did you see is it working yeah i think maybe one of my it's because i've got one stupid eye maybe that's why i was gonna say perhaps it's to do with your your my lazy left eye this is the fourth edition and it's got one of those lovely victorian i like i like the um artwork and and
Starting point is 00:37:35 the and the what's the word for the words the font type the type yeah the font yeah yeah that's really lovely it's a lovely thing it was only two pound fifty you know. It's a lovely thing. It was only £2.50. You know what? That is a lovely bit of objet d'art. That's a showcase. It's a showcase for me as well. I like that too. I love it. I know it looks like it's a cheap thing in many respects, but it's nice.
Starting point is 00:37:55 It's a child's toy, really, isn't it? Well, it would have been more of a thing back in the day, wouldn't it? It would have been more enlightening to someone to figure out a little bit of science via a little bit of spooky imagery. I know, but this is what, because it's from 1863, this is what fascinates me about it. Now, this is the height of the spiritualism period.
Starting point is 00:38:13 That's what I'm saying. So what is the relationship of this? See, because they have the science to explain why this happens here. Yeah. Which would seem to suggest. You know, it's funny. I'm talking about this right now in my book that I'm writing. But effectively, you had this weird tug of war going on throughout most of the 19th century
Starting point is 00:38:28 between what rational scientists and and people who wanted to include that within science well it's it's really complicated i've had a fucking really tough time trying to simplify simplifies it for my book but effectively you had like a real huge growth like a second enlightenment in terms of developments and sciences and biologies and technology and industry right throughout the 1800s and that was you know suggesting we're living in a more rational time it's where the phrase god is dead came from you know that kind of stuff about about about the idea of man being in control now of his destiny and not leaving it to the fates and the gods and things yes however at the same time church numbers were falling as a kind of relation to this new growth of technology and the changing
Starting point is 00:39:10 modern quote-unquote modern man yeah but an alternative to religion became spiritualism because what they were saying is you don't need churches you don't need pastors you don't need vicars you can talk to god directly or you can speak to me and i'll speak to them directly as well as well as and dead relatives yeah so death and I'll speak to them directly as well. As well as dead relatives. Yeah. So death was a huge industry in some respects as well throughout that period.
Starting point is 00:39:29 So in a way would you say spiritualism was like trying to make a sort of secular replacement for religion? Yeah. Or in a way
Starting point is 00:39:38 it's trying to include ESP and the spirit world Clairvoyance in a scientific worldview. But also at that time that kind of stuff hadn't been as and the spirit world clairvoyance in a scientific worldview but also at that time that kind of stuff
Starting point is 00:39:47 hadn't been as decided upon no ghost stories ghost stories and spirits and things like that were either something like
Starting point is 00:39:54 witch doctors or certain religious types could do basically you know services with the vicar says I am talking to God I am his representative
Starting point is 00:40:02 or they were warnings about you know pirates would give warnings or legends to keep people away or yeah so ghost stories were more like that contextually about having a meaning or a purpose this was the first time it became like where ghost hunting was almost like or ghost investigation was like more tangible now spiritualism was basically the job to go oh look you don't need all this you just need to a room and a seance and we can speak to the dead and we can find out
Starting point is 00:40:25 the mysteries of the afterlife. I find it fascinating. Has there been a really effective horror film that uses that whole world so far? Probably, to be fair. I can't think of one right now.
Starting point is 00:40:35 But yeah, maybe. I just think it's such a rich vein for sort of like there to be fakers. I guess it's what Poltergeist sort of did. That's the modern day version of all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:40:44 But you had the skeptics come in,'t you yeah but you could argue that there's a film that came out before that called the entity with barbara hershey which is seen which is quite unpleasant it's a sexual assault ghost story yeah it follows her around and it's but it but it also has a lot of modern science trying to explain the supernatural it does yes anyway that's delicious what a lovely thing. That's a showcase item for show. Great, and it's for you, Paul. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:41:08 I shall take that and put it on my shelf with other books on a similar topic. Like the Hamlin's Book of Ghosts. Yeah. Or Illusions. I love that, Hamlin's Book of Ghosts. We should do that one day on the podcast. We have, haven't we?
Starting point is 00:41:20 Maybe our Halloween special this year. That was what literally shat me up as a little child. Yeah, some spooky pictures. I thought it was out there, along with my au pair who'd gone zombie. And who could come through the little hole in my duvet. There was even a bigger hole than one inch in the duvet. Anyway. Zombie au pair comes.
Starting point is 00:41:35 Anyway. Anyway. They'll get you. Teddy Cotter says that was a fucking great book. Teddy Cotter's here to cheer everyone up. I noticed there's been a bit frosty between you two today. So I just thought I'd stop in and cheer you a bit up

Starting point is 00:43:33 I had a euphemism for spunking the other day yeah that I thought was have you ever heard it I'm glad we stretched the boundaries
Starting point is 00:43:42 of our comedy it's for when you do the character. Yeah. Captain Blue Balls. Oh, wow. And I know there is the copy character. Yeah. Can't come, John.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Yeah. Long John can't come. Yeah. Long John can't come. Yeah. But I just thought this was a good one. Next time you're doing that character. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:59 You say, my dog won't fetch a bone. I'll write it down, but I'm not sure. Right, anyway. Oh, my dog won't fetch a bone. Come on, admit it. It's all right. It's good. It's better when those things organically come out
Starting point is 00:44:16 rather than, you know, you tell me in advance and I have to make it work. Now it's a bit awkward. Now if I do it, listeners are going to go, oh, you know, they workshop this. No, they'll love it because it'll be a little Easter egg. it's easter it was easter no that was last week happy easter and this episode comes out the week after so it doesn't matter dog eggs dog eggs spunky dog eggs mate come on crumbly spunky dog eggs in the very light i see them in the morning i see them we
Starting point is 00:44:43 can't be this shit this week come on crumbly dog come on mate in the morning I see them late at night We can't be this shit this week, come on. Crumbly dogly spank eggs in the little window I see the spanky egg and I say very slow I think we all agree you plateaued with I pull pud today, so let's just put that one in our pocket and use that as a win, alright?
Starting point is 00:45:01 Crumbly dogly spank eggs I just wanted to say that. Now it's time for Yes, well, I just wanted to say that. I'm glad you've got what you wanted. Now it's time for... Yes, well, I was about to do it. It's the fucking price of shite. It's the fucking price of shite. It's the fucking price of shite.
Starting point is 00:45:17 Oh, it's the fucking price of shite. And that's a right. That's right. And that's a right. It's a shite. It's the price. It's a shite. Now, the price. It's a shite. Now, we had a spurge of PO boxes that came in over the last few months.
Starting point is 00:45:30 And as a result, some of them got mixed up. We had to do a house clean. So, long story short. You chucked out your price of shite. No, I've got the price of shite. But I couldn't. Mean Daddy Gannon has gone through the car. He's gone, what cunt sent this?
Starting point is 00:45:42 What cunt spent, wasted their fucking hard-earned cash and time, which is at a premium in this lockdown Britain, and then said, oh, what a cunt I am. I'm sending this shit in. I'm mean Daddy Gannon. Will you stop projecting, please, for the sake of this episode? Well, what have you got to say? You've lost a load of prices to shises.
Starting point is 00:46:07 No, that is not what I've said. On this show, Pride. No, I need you to recount that statement. That is not what I've said. It's not what you've said. But can I say, you know what's priceless on Cheap Show? The prices to shises is priceless. The only one enjoying these bits are you.
Starting point is 00:46:25 Is there a crisis in the price of shises? To an objective ear listening in for the first time, you sound like an absolute fucking gobshite. Can I just ask one question? You nattering gobshite. I need to ask one question, Paul. One question. Go on.
Starting point is 00:46:40 Is there a crisis in the prices of shises? Because the crisis of prices of shises is priceless. You wretched beast. It's priceless. You wretched, scummy dog egg. Try again. Foamy, bespeckled dog egg of a human being. Dog egg.

So, all I'm saying is I've got all the items, but to find out if they were all collected, I had to look at the answers so I knew which of these were all
Starting point is 00:47:18 meant to go together. However, I also didn't find the letter that went with this to say, hello, I'm Bobby Joe, this is my collection so if these items are yours please get in touch on twitter at the cheap show pod and say that was ours and we'll thank you next week and i'll personally pay you 100 pounds if your name is actually bobby joe because that that's just it's not gonna be bobby joe is it of course but why did you use bobby joe why do you use any name you've got this

Every noise you make, Bibble, Bob, Joe, Jimmy. Don't give me that side eye. Price of the shy, sis. Please don't look at me like that. Paul. Paul.
Starting point is 00:48:20 So what you're saying is we don't know who it is. So shut up. Just shut up. Just cease your lips and don't know who it is. So, shut up. Just shut up. Just cease your lips. And don't put that cup back on the table, so you don't make a noise.
Starting point is 00:48:31 I won't. Just behave. I wouldn't do that. Fix yourself. Sit up straight. Okay. Right? Sort your act out.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Jordan Peterman. Think about how old you are. Think about your age. Think about the things you get up to at your age. And have some sense of fucking clarity on the dystopian hellscape that your living existence is on a daily basis it's my dystopian hellscape yes it is you can fucking keep it well you're part of it now you knuckle chin prick knuckle chins i don't have a cleft chin oh you're saying i've got a fat chin aren't you i'm saying fat shaming your chin looks like a row of horse bollocks it does does it yeah you're jowly oh fuck why you have a mushroom
Starting point is 00:49:14 i haven't attacked you you have listen along with the chutney out this podcast over oh it's fake walk out again everyone look he's doing it he's not even getting up. I'm not even getting up. He's doing a little chair dance. Listen, please, can we just get through this, please? You're shuffling like a grand at a disco. So look. In his chair, I meant. I wasn't old-shaming. There are six items here, right?
Starting point is 00:49:34 And I will tell you, Eli, off the top of the game. I saw it in action. I saw the ganonasm in action Ganonasm This all of this comes together to the price
Starting point is 00:49:50 of no more than £4 So when all this is added up it's only £4 your limit Doesn't mean it's £4 It just means
Starting point is 00:49:58 that's the toppest limit What do you mean? So if the answer's like £370 You mean all of the items added together is no more than £4? But it might be slightly less, is what you're saying? The ceiling is £4.
Starting point is 00:50:09 The ceiling is £4, right? And there are six items, Eli. Six! So we're going to get straight into it. So if this is you listening and you're going, oh, I sent them in, get in touch. Hope you're listening, Bobby Joe. Right, first item.
Starting point is 00:50:23 I'm going to do it by the list, I reckon. Hang on. And have you got a pen to write down my guesses? Let's take a pause and I can grab you one. Get a pen, yeah. I'll write straight onto the thing. It makes more sense, really. Your answer next to...
Starting point is 00:50:36 What rules... Were any rules included or it was just the prices? Just the items and their prices in the total. We'll just do common or garden rules. Any messages at all from Bobby Joe so we can know who Bobby Joe might be? There's nothing. There's literally, mate, literally just this.
Starting point is 00:50:52 That's it. That's it. There's nothing else. No, because I've got the answers on. I almost fell for it. You pranny. Right. So there are six items.
Starting point is 00:51:01 Are you ready to go? So normal rules. Are you ready to go? Normal rules.'s just are you ready to go normal rules refresh two points if you get it spot on and those points are known as betwings thank you and if you get it close within 25p either way higher or lower than the actual price that's one between it's still a valiant effort i'm absolutely banging for a hardcore bet. Right, so here is your first item, Silverman. Regardez. Oh, it seems to be a
Starting point is 00:51:27 tea towel. It is a tea towel. As soon as the texture, the rough cottony texture hit the fingertips, I knew it was, but I thought it might be a lighter handkerchief on
Starting point is 00:51:36 first glance. No, although, you know, you couldn't go too far off of it being a napkin. Maybe a napkin. Is it a napkin? No, it is a tea towel. What I'm saying is you
Starting point is 00:51:44 could mistake it for one more than you could anything else. The design is on one side of this tea towel.kin, maybe a napkin. Is it a napkin? No, it is a tea towel. What I'm saying is you could mistake it for one more than you could anything else. The design is on one side of this tea towel. Yes, and what is that design? This is truly bad. All the stuff in this collection, by the way,
Starting point is 00:51:56 is utter dog shit. It's great. This is a souvenir of the royal wedding. Charles and Diana. Remember that date when one of the most disastrous marriages
Starting point is 00:52:04 ever to befall the royal family began in earnest. It's in lovely condition. It is because... Because it's 30 years old now. Because it's been an embarrassment. Over 30 years old.
Starting point is 00:52:11 Yeah, what, 40 odd? No, it's... Yeah. No. Oh, yeah, it's 41, didn't they? Wow, yeah. It has 81 on this. Unless that's a reprint.
Starting point is 00:52:19 Like somewhere... Do you remember 1981? They don't do that, do they? Here's Charles and Di. But I can remember being alive at the time, Paul, and the amount. I'm glad. The amount.
Starting point is 00:52:28 I don't think I've ever seen anything since of the amount of memorabilia and stuff. Tat. At that particular wedding was the one, wasn't it? Andrew and Fergie didn't get that, did they? No. Well, no one, because it was such a failure, I guess. But that was sold hugely, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:52:43 Oh, yeah, there were vinyl albums of the whole occasion, the ceremony, the music. There was tea cups and mugs. Cutlery, everything. It was a tap fest. You know what I found? I'm sure we've had some Charles and Di stuff on the pod in the past. You see it all over the place.
Starting point is 00:53:00 This depicts Charles and Lady Diana. Lady Diana, Spencer or something or other. And it has what I believe are... The coat of arms for... No, all the flags of the Commonwealth. Oh. Because that's him. He's the leader of the Commonwealth.
Starting point is 00:53:15 I don't know that one. Isle of Man. That's all unrecognised. Australia down there, is that? I don't know. Is it top there? No, that's not Australia. I don't think that's right at all.
Starting point is 00:53:25 We don't know and we're not going to go any further. Jamaica. No, she went to Verona Court. Placenta. Anyway. It's good on this show.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Right, come on. So that's the first item. Remember, I'm going to help you out a little bit. These prices aren't much. I mean, we don't know where they come from.
Starting point is 00:53:43 We don't know where they come from. We don't know where they're sourced. It in such good nick it just means they must have made all sorts of stuff you know what i saw in a charity shop the other day paul yes a little amber glass milk jug yeah that was commemorating queen victoria's silver jubilee in 1887 over 100 years old completely intact nice beautiful Nice. Beautiful thing. Lovely. But how much is that? I don't care about the stuff you saw in passing. Focus on the price.
Starting point is 00:54:10 Again, these aren't high prices today, Elo. I'm thinking 50p. It must be 50p. 50p. I'm going to say that first, but can I go back? We can go through the prices later, yes. So I might come down. So I get one per twing if I'm within 25p either way.
Starting point is 00:54:24 Right, okay. And I get two per twings if I'm within 25p either way. Right, okay. And I get two petwings if I'm on the nose. Two petwing-a-dwingers. Mate, I'm absolutely splanging for some hardcore petwanging. Yeah? Next thing. Here's the next thing.
Starting point is 00:54:38 He's handed it to me. It's a pamphlet or leaflet of some sort. It says here, it's an Edinburgh Speedway programme. That is what it is, Paul. But I don't know's an Edinburgh Speedway programme. That is what it is, Paul. But I don't know what an Edinburgh, a Speedway, or a programme is. Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland.
Starting point is 00:54:51 Is it? Have you excised it from your memory because you had terrible times at the festival? Ha ha ha ha. You did though, didn't you? You had a fucking full-fledged breakdown. Absolute monstrous one. Come on.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Come on. Now this is Edinburgh in Scotland. Yeah. Because you can tell. Is it a bike race through Edinburgh? And this is a programme about that. Because that's Edinburgh Castle depicted quite fetchingly.
Starting point is 00:55:17 What kind of style is that? It's kind of almost a... It's illustrative. Yes. It's very simple illustrative. Yes, it's very simple. Young chap, you assume it's a chap. You yes it's very simple uh young chap you assume it's a chap you can't really tell because they've got a helmet on helmet and protective gear yeah
Starting point is 00:55:30 um a person on a motorcycle is that i don't know i think it's a bmx or something it's like bmx it's uh well let's see have a little look inside 78 yeah wow it's interesting if you're partially interested in 1970s sports memorabilia. They are pedal bikes. They're sort of... So maybe it's like a kind of... But BMXs didn't come up to the 80s. They were a big fad in the 80s.
Starting point is 00:55:52 So this is what predates their dirt bikes or whatever. I guess, whatever they are. Because remember, think about Edinburgh's layout. That would make a really interesting bike race, wouldn't it?
Starting point is 00:56:00 Ups and downs and hills and curves and winding roads. You know what I think Speedway is? It's like you race in teams. Or do you go downhill? No, it's like a dirt track with jumps. Yeah. But it seems to be they race in teams because they've,
Starting point is 00:56:13 someone, there's space in this to put the scores in. How they've all done on the team. That's interesting. Again, pictures on our website of these things. All right, anyway, how much do you think that cost? It's a nice little bit of an objet d'oeuvre from the past, isn't it? Yeah, but of no interest to anyone. Now, think about the price of what you said at the towel.
Starting point is 00:56:33 How does that relate to this? It's so small. 15p originally, this cost. Wow. Which was relatively pricey at the time. 15p? Probably. Something like that.
Starting point is 00:56:43 Probably close to a quid now or something yeah oh go on have a think I'm gonna go up why aren't you talking to the microphone and tell us all
Starting point is 00:56:51 I'm gonna tell you all I'm gonna say 30p I think 30p I think they're just trying to get rid of that like 25 30 but I will say 30
Starting point is 00:56:58 to begin with okay okay right in my heart there's a groaning for some hardcore petwoning come on I can just make that rhyme with anything yeah I know that's why it's shit Right. In my heart, there's a groaning for some hardcore patwoning. Come on.
Starting point is 00:57:06 I can just make that rhyme with anything. Yeah, I know. That's why it's shit. Can you just tell us what the next item is? Oh, this is a cassette. Compact cassettes, which was a hugely dominant music format. It was in the 80s. We all had a Walkman or a personal cassette player.
Starting point is 00:57:24 It's apparently in places like the 80s. We all had a Walkman or a personal cassette player. It's apparently in places like the African continent. Yeah. It's still hugely popular as a format, music format. Probably makes a lot of sense considering what they've got
Starting point is 00:57:34 available to them. Well, and you can record onto it. It's very good format. Just the sound quality is the problem. It's only really the mechanics now that have cheapened
Starting point is 00:57:41 and ruined the quality of the tapes because even poorer tapes would sound half decent on a good deck. But that's what I mean. I mean, I heard about African hi-fi dealers coming to Europe to buy old tape players.
Starting point is 00:57:53 And then flogging them over there. Yeah. Oh, interesting. Repairing them and flogging them is still extremely valuable to that market. But what's this cassette about? This is the mosquito story. And it's not the story of a small insect No, no, no
Starting point is 00:58:06 They're referring to some sort of warplane Yes A propeller warplane, probably World War II A mosquito What does it say in the blue corner writing In the ribbon A stereo recording narrated by Raymond Baxter And Tim Matthews
Starting point is 00:58:21 Why should I know that name? Raymond Frederick Baxter was an English television presenter, commentator and writer. He is best known for being the first presenter of the BBC television science programme Tomorrow's World. There you go. Continuing for 12 years, from 1965 to 1977. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:58:39 Raymond Baxter. Okay, so him. And this is in Hendon. Because there's a little map on the inside. It's the RAF Museum in Hendon. And that's what is a little bit of souvenir on the way out the door. The Mosquito Aircraft Museum, Salisbury Hall, St Albans, Hertfordshire. And 78 as well.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Weird. The Mosquito Story. Narrated by Raymond Baxter and Tim Matthews. If the early warships of the Royal Navy were the wooden walls of England, then the Mosquitoes were Britain's wooden walls of the air in the dark days of the Second World War. MUSIC Mosquito, are you clear to start? Mosquito, are you clear to start? Clear to start number two now. Some 40 years after its first flight, a veteran Mosquito aircraft prepares for take-off in the hands of British Aerospace test pilot Christopher Capper.
Starting point is 01:00:14 The de Havilland Mosquito, according to Air Chief Marshal Sir Basil Embry, the finest aeroplane without exception that has ever been built in this country. about exception that has ever been built in this country. You can imagine having flown Blenheims, and then you get this new sleek, very streamlined, slinky, sexy almost looking aeroplane, and nobody really believed it. We always used to say that if we saw the fighter first, nothing would catch us until they started using jets. We found its single-engine performance with everything tucked up like something that we'd never met before. And we realised how satisfactory this must be
Starting point is 01:00:55 in the event of the suffering damage deep in Germany, being able to cruise back and indeed passing quite a lot of aircraft of other makes that were on to the entrance. And it had a marvellous high-altitude performance. She was so subtle. There was a subtle movement. There was a great speed. She was a machine that meant business. Someone from 78?
Starting point is 01:01:18 Someone was into Speedway and then came down to London and went to the Mosquito Museum. How much is that cassette, Mr Silverman? I mean... I mean... I mean... Not many people buy cassettes from charity shops. They give them away, practically. Yeah, they do.
Starting point is 01:01:31 Well, they don't, actually. They don't. It depends. You know what they give away now? What? DVDs. Oh, yeah. Literally, they have 18.
Starting point is 01:01:38 Can't give them away. Have you noticed that? Yeah. No, there's way too many. And usually lots of copies of FIFA of various years. Yeah. Filling out shelves. As well as music CDs are incredibly cheap as well.
Starting point is 01:01:51 Vinyl's much more, isn't it, now? Well, most of the stuff you find in charity shops are just mountains of classical music. Yeah, terrible things that no one ever wants to hear. James Last kind of stuff. Yeah, but you don't get that on CD. No, they're more generic. It's just mostly recognisable 90s albums you see on CD. Yeah, those terrible ones. Oh, look, there's Jagged Little Pill. Yeah, but you don't get that on CD. No, they're more generic. It's just mostly recognisable 90s albums you see on CD.
Starting point is 01:02:07 Oh, look, there's Jagged Little Pill. Oh, look, there's eight copies of Now 94. Anyway, how much do you think that cassette is? It's going to be... I don't want to go higher than 50 for this. I think this is like... Talking to the mates. I think this is like...
Starting point is 01:02:24 Come on. I'm going to say 55p off that. All think this is like come on I'm going to say 55p off that alright I don't I'm going to go and change what
Starting point is 01:02:29 I can't remember you said 55p no it's fine right here we go next one oh okay here we go this is item number four
Starting point is 01:02:38 there's a little bit of everything in this price of shite isn't there a little bit of everything oh god yeah I know it's awful but this is a nice shit
Starting point is 01:02:45 collection of stuff, though. This is a copy, a seven-inch single, and it's a copy with picture cover of Baltimora's song Tarzan Boy. Is that the right way around? Oh, God. And it's only just occurred to me now that that is based on the Tarzan yell.
Starting point is 01:03:17 Yes, that's why it's called Tarzan Boy. That only just occurred to me now. Isn't that funny? Was this a one-hit wonder? Was it reasonably successful? I think it was a hit, definitely, but it was a one-hit wonder? Was it reasonably successful? I think it was a hit, definitely, but it was a one-hit wonder. It's in lovely condition.
Starting point is 01:03:28 It looks practically... Is it? Practically unplayed. Yeah, because it's a fucking awful song. That's why. There's some spoogey stuff on one side, actually. Tell a lie.
Starting point is 01:03:35 There's some spoogey, spoogey stuff. Tarzan gloy. Gloy. Yeah, 1985 it was released. Apparently. And he got to... Well, I'm going to find out now, thanks to Wicked.
Starting point is 01:03:45 It's the debut single by an Italian-based act, Baltimore. The song was written by Don't Care, released in 85, as the lead single from his album, Living in the Background. The song was re-recorded and released in 1993. No shit. And it's been covered by several artists throughout the years. Where does it say it reached, though? April 85, chart performance here we
Starting point is 01:04:05 go was an international hit top five in italy as well as another country such as spain germany france and the netherlands france specifically was its most successful country topping the charts there for five weeks in the uk it reached number three three in september and in America, where it was released by EMI, it got to number 13 in 1986. It's a one-hit wonder, really, isn't it? I mean, they probably had a career to some extent after. But it's really aggravating. It comes out of the sort of
Starting point is 01:04:37 Italo disco sort of vibe, isn't it? Yeah, it's a bit kind of poppy Euro disco 80s. I'm not a big fan of that. I'm not a big fan. But we do not care. I think for its quality. 25p. We look for its price. 25p. Right.
Starting point is 01:04:50 25p. Right. Next. And what have we got next? It's more shit on dead formats. I'm losing. I'm actually losing enthusiasm. That means this is a good selection. Because a second ago my meters was twinging.
Starting point is 01:05:07 Yeah. In anticipation of all the patwinging. Skip on, mate. Skip on to the bit where you actually add content to this podcast. Oh, it stings when you hurt me with your tongue lash. You come in and out of interest don't you you just come in and out
Starting point is 01:05:27 like literally 30 seconds ago you're like ah I'm dead inside and now you're a little sprightly mad hatter bastard aren't you hey ye ye ye ye

VHS. In most charity shops you go into,
Starting point is 01:08:50 they have a little sign saying we don't accept them as donations. They don't. They won't sell them. No. Are there even any specialist secondhand stores that even deal with them? There might be some people out there who really want that, but I don't know who they are. They're all landfill fodder, really.
Starting point is 01:09:02 There are some that are extremely rare and collectible. How much? How much? This is like 20p again. 20p again. Listen, there's one more item left. I need to be... We'll go through it in the next segment, but there's one more item left, alright? God, I hate all of these.
Starting point is 01:09:19 I don't want any of these. This is the grand finale item. It's in a Hovis bag. No. It's heavy. Have you heard of Heron Foods? No. It must be wherever. It's both in two plastic bags from Heron Foods.
Starting point is 01:09:33 It doesn't say anything. It's like top quality, lower price. I'm going to say there's an address. No, there's not. I looked. But anyway, wherever Heron Foods is based. It's not around these parts, is it? No.
Starting point is 01:09:43 This is some kind of figurine. It's heavy. It's heavy. You could murder with this. It's not round these parts, is it? This is some kind of figurine. It's heavy. It's heavy. You could murder with this. It's wrapped in newspaper right now. It looks... I'm guessing some kind of gnome. I think I can feel the brim of a hat on this.
Starting point is 01:09:54 Okay. Let's see. It feels very hard. Like metal. Yeah. Now, I've saved this for last for a reason. Oh, my. I've saved this last for a reason.
Starting point is 01:10:05 It looks like some outsider art or something. Reveal. It looks like scary outsider weirdness. Reveal. What is it? It's a beardy man. Oh, it's a strange beardy man. What is that?
Starting point is 01:10:17 I think he's like a wizard, isn't he? Yeah. Oh, we're pointy. On here it just says, Bizarre Wizard Abomination. Oh, you've kept the price on this one. I haven't. Oh, did they? I mean, I're pointy. On here, it just says, Bizarre Wizard Abomination. Oh, you've kept the price on this one. I haven't. Oh, did they?
Starting point is 01:10:27 I mean, I don't know. That might be the right price or not. I don't know. Oh, I know the answers, but do you think that's related? I didn't even think to look there because honestly, looking at it frightened me. I didn't want to touch it.
Starting point is 01:10:38 Oh, it's very amateurish. It looks like it was made by a 15-year-old as part of some kind of pottery class in school or something. Yeah, maybe even younger. And there's some extensive damage to the wizard's collar as well. It really is a terrible thing and it has dirty bits on it. Actual physical dirty bits adding to the grotty... Someone thought, yeah, give that to a charity shop.
Starting point is 01:11:01 Someone's going to want that. You know what makes it sort of a bit creepy is the... The everything of it. The eyes that are just these pinprick eyes. Yeah, beady eyes. And the kind of mottled grey that's gone on the top of the head. And his hands. His hands, what are they doing?
Starting point is 01:11:15 They're pushing away or they're... Well, I think, again, there's some damage on both of them. I think both of them broke off. Yeah, and he's... Truly terrible thing. In a price of shite... But I will say... Is that it?
Starting point is 01:11:28 That's it. It's a light item. That was six. You've had the wedding tea towel, the Edinburgh Speedway, the cassette tape, the Tarzan single, the Jason Donovan tape,
Starting point is 01:11:38 and this awful wizard abomination, a clay nightmare. But I will say this, I made it last to point out not only its monstrosity, but also to tell you it is the most expensive of the items today. £2. You want to go with £2?
Starting point is 01:11:51 Yeah. It has a sticker on it that says £2. Fair enough. Shall we now? I'm getting petwings for free here. Thanks, Bobby Joe. Bobby Joe, thank you for the free petwings. But let's find out if the scores are...
Starting point is 01:12:04 What the scores are. Let's do the scores now. So, we're going to now review the scores. You can amend and adjust as you like now. Are you ready? I don't know. Seeing that £2 price sticker has made me feel more secure in my other scores, funnily enough.
Starting point is 01:12:19 Fair enough. But let's just go through it. And the fact that you said that that's the most expensive as well. Do you see what I mean? Yeah, but let's go through them anyway. Let's give you a fair... Let's see if you need to tweak it or not. I might tweak the betwings.
Starting point is 01:12:30 Tweak the pricing in order to increase the betwing. Eh? Eh? That was better. It was better, but it's not worth it. Yeah, but don't get overexcited about the very minimal amount of content you've added. Oh, I am overexcited already. I'm rubbing the smooth part on the inside of my thighs.
Starting point is 01:12:44 Cease your blathering royal wedding tea towel you said 50p sticking with 50p on 50p right our survey said hang on we're gonna go for the price i'm gonna give you a chance to amend now okay edinburgh speedway program you said 30p higher lower you want to keep it as it is so far. 35. 35. Okay. Mosquito Tape, you said 55p. Higher, lower,
Starting point is 01:13:09 higher. I'm going to go to 50 on that. You're going to go to 50 on that. Okay. Tarzan Boy Single, you said 25p. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:17 And Jason Donovan Tape, you said 20p. Can you add them all up so far? So far, including the £2 for the Abomination. No, just leave that off. Just those items so far. Okay. So you've got uh 50 60 75 uh 5 25 uh 1 pound 25 50 plus 35 is 85 paul yeah i'm adding
Starting point is 01:13:37 50 on top of that now all right so that's 1 pound 35 35 then adding 25p which makes it 60 £1.60 and then then 20p then 20p for this so that would make it what
Starting point is 01:13:51 180 180 altogether on top of the to 380 yeah you said £4 limit yeah see what I'm getting at
Starting point is 01:13:58 yeah yeah but what do you want to do with this because also you might be getting I think I'm going to go you've said 20p for the video I say 30p for the video. 30p.
Starting point is 01:14:07 Right. Just to get a bit closer to the £4 there. Let's now reveal the scores, because they're locked in and they're all yours. Yeah. I've got a feeling I'm going to get some heavy between then. Well, let's find out. First of all, the Royal Wedding tea tile,
Starting point is 01:14:23 you said 50p. I said 50p the correct price was 75p oh that's it you read the actual price to me
Starting point is 01:14:32 when you made that mistake so 75p I get one between you get no you don't because it was out of by 20 oh yeah no you get one
Starting point is 01:14:39 25p either way so I'm going to give you a nice little tick there that's what we play for that's what we play the narrow margins for right so don't try and deprive me of my heart you could be doing well today mr silver i am going to say so end of speedway program you said 35p i did the actual price was 10p 10p so that gives you another between twing though, right? Because 20, 30, 35. Yes, it does. Another one.
Starting point is 01:15:05 Ooh, I'm loving my little plays. Per twing. I'm scraping up undeserved per twings. Right, next one. You said Mosquito Story Cassette was 50p. 50p on the nose, mate. The actual price was 25p. That's another per twing.
Starting point is 01:15:20 No, I'm working the 25, bro. He's swinging either way and whipping up points along the way. I really am. Every single item so far has been exactly 25p out. Tarzan boy. Not everyone. Yeah, everyone. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:36 Weird. 25p, you said, for Tarzan boy. Weird than the actual 25p margin was. And yet the price was 30p. So that's another per twing. Wow. I am fucking cleaning the art shit up. And...
Starting point is 01:15:51 Oh, I'm getting a glut of per twings. Jason Donatabe. Paul, I'm full of per twings. Calm down. Jason Donatabe. You said 30p. You said 30p. The actual price was 50p. It's another per twing for Silverman. Oh said 30p. The actual price was 50p.
Starting point is 01:16:06 It's another between for Silverman. Oh, my God. And then for the awful wizard abomination, you said £2. The actual price of it was, why it was £2. Oh, my God. That's another between.
Starting point is 01:16:19 Is that legit? Yeah, it's legit. You should have seen. So coming in at 1, 2, three, four, five, six, seven between there. Fucking hell. Seven between six items. This is it.
Starting point is 01:16:29 This is the moment I've lived for. Yeah. And the actual total price in all was 390. So you were 10p out there as well. So you were very close to the actual outcome. No, I guessed 390. Yeah, but you said 380. It was 380, you said.
Starting point is 01:16:44 No, I said 380. And then but you said 380. It was 380 you said. No, I said 380 and then I increased the price of the... £2.50, £3, £3.35, I increased the Jason Donner tape to 390.
Starting point is 01:16:52 £3.55, £3.60, £3.70, £3.89. Yeah, 390. Yeah, no, you're spot on there. I was spot on for the overall price.
