CheapShow - Ep 421: Tat Hunt: Watford High Street

Episode Date: January 31, 2025

It’s time for another “Tat Hunt” episode, we think. It’s been too long, that’s for sure. This week, Paul and Eli take to the mean streets of Watford to scour the charity shops for 6 items to bring into next week’s charity shop item face-off! In CheapShow’s history, most of the items discovered in charity shops fall into six categories and it’s up to the Cheap Chaps to rustle them up in a few hours beating the streets. They need to find a Book, a Game, a Toy, some Kitchenware, a Trinket and a Party Album, but time it tight and the weather is awful. Will Paul and Eli discover some amazing bargains or fumble their assignment pathetically? Whatever happens, expect the usual carnage that only CheapShow can deliver! Part Two Next Week! “The Evaluation” See pics/videos for this episode on our website: https://www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-421-tat-hunt-watford-high-street And if you like us, why not support us: www.patreon.com/cheapshow If you want to get involved, email us at [e-mail] And if you want to, follow us on Twitter/X @thecheapshowpod or @paulgannonshow & @elisnoid www.thecheapshow.co.uk Now on Threads: @cheapshowpod Like, Review, Share, Comment...

Oh, it's windy. It's a very blustery day as Winnie the Pooh would say. I'm Paul Gannon and guess who this little chap is walking next to me. It's not Piglet and I'm not Pooh. Who is it? Hi everyone, it's Eli Silverman. It's a blustery and brisk day here in North West London. Is that right? Yes, northwest London. The far reaches, the far reaches of northwest London. What are we up to today out and about obviously? Well, did you just grunt? No. Do you mean fart? Yes. No I didn't do that. What do you mean do I mean fart? Because I don't know maybe you meant did I expostulate or

something? I think it was your satchel flapping in the wind. Yeah it might be my flapp-ful, flapp-ul, my flapp-ul. Look hello this week we are doing... Hello I'm Flapp-ul Wednesday. Nice to see you Flapp-ul Wednesday. I've got a big mouth flapping in the wind it does, sometimes I burp and people think I've farted. Right okay well good. Right so here's what we're doing this week. Oh no they do though. Here's what we're doing on the podcast this week. It is Tat Hunt. It is going to be a two part episode. Part one this week is me and Eli going to charity shops in Watford and we'll explain the rules a little bit later on.

New rules. New year new rules for Tat Hunt. This is a Tat Hunt episode. Part one. Part two will be next week's evaluation of the things we've bought, guessing their prices, etc. etc. Are we going to guess the prices as well, is it just as a bonus? I think we can, as long as we don't reveal what we got when we got it.

You know? We don't reveal to each other our goods. No, well we'll explain the rules in a little bit won't we? I'll show you my goods though. Do you want to open your flap children and show me the goods? Your mushy pink goods. Yeah? Mushy pink goods.

That's right. I'll look at your mushy pink goods. I've got turgid mushy pink goods. They're not mushy, they're turgid. Right well, we're going to go into the credits now. Do you want to leave a parting thought before we get in there? I'd like to leave a parting fart. A parting part. A farting part.

A farting part. My whole lower half. Isn't that the truth buddy boy? Isn't that the buddy boy truth? Right so we're going to walk to the bus stop and until then... What bus are we getting? H18. It was the 14 you made me get on the other day.

I didn't because it doesn't go past this. It was not the 18. Here's the thing, it was definitely that. It was either that or the 19th because it's the same bus but it's counter-clockwise. We're not getting into this right now. All right, fine. What we're doing right now, which we're saying,

hello, welcome to Cheap Show, here's the music. Bus liar. Look your fuck off. Cheap Show to Headstone Lane. All the way to Headstone Lane and we're going to get a train. We're not getting this bus, ignore this bus, the 183, we're not interested. Look away, don't make eye contact. Don't look at it. Don't make eye contact. Yeah he's got it, he's moved on. He's moved on. He's got it. Fuck off. Yeah, fuck off mate. Go on. Shameful. What? Oh I think that's another bus. Narrow roof on this bus shelter, isn't it?

Yeah. Extra narrow roof. I've never seen one of those. It looks like an in situ, we just missed it. No that's a H14. Oh. That's not meant to stop it. It's so fucking confusing.

It's not meant to stop it because it's on diversion so it's just taking this route. Oh fucking Christ. Anyway, we're getting the H18 to Headstone Lake, we will get the Overground train, I believe the Suffragette line, I believe it's a Suffragette line, no it's the Lioness line, Lioness line to Watford. Near me, the Goblin line. The Goblin became the Suffragette, and how do you remember that? Because David Bowie played the Goblin King in Labyrinth and one of his songs, don't lean

on me man, cause I ain't got time for pity down here in suffragette line city yeah no you've made a completely random association no no did he or did he not play the goblin king yes he did and did he have a song called suffragette city he did and he's that line used to be called the goblin and he's and to be fair he used to have a song called TfL Overland as well. Overland? Overland as well. You can't help me can you? You can't stop saying Overland.

Where's our bus? How many minutes have you said it? Two minutes it said. Oh baby if you want to go on TfL, it's the TfL. Overland! TfL it's the one you know. When I was sleeping I saw a little gnome in my head and I took a...

Oh fuck it Get out little gnome, get out little gnome From the garden of thoughts in my carse In my arse, well done Paul In my carse? In my carse, I know It's a carse arse It's half car, half arse It's a carse? Half arse car It's a half arse car. Oh God. Right, we're just waiting for the bus now and then we're going to head all the way to

Watford. We'll keep you abreast of the situation. This isn't a walk of our episode per se. It's a tat-hunt. It's more of a tangential association to it. Oh here it is! Here's the 18. Right, we're getting on.

Here we go. Right, here we go. H18 everyone. It's exciting. Beat time. Here we go. It's a bit confusing because of this. Because of what? The N18. Yeah. Do you see what I mean? Yeah, but it's not that. This is the H18. Anyway, look. The N18 is what we did on the first episode of night busing. Yeah. You remember? I do. And we're not doing that though. We're taking you to Headstone Lane, yeah? Yeah. Oh, shit. Right, we'll see you in a bit because it's just a bus route. See you in a bit.

We're getting off here. We are? Yeah. Hedstone Lane Station. This is where we're getting off. Here we go. And we'll be getting what? There's a pizza place up there called Pizza Dono. It's a no-no. It's a no-no from you dog It's a dog on the pizza No, no, I don't know Down boy, right. Come on. Come on. Come on. Here we come off we get hey Right now on the train now get on the train the overland. Well, that was an enjoyable mini-sajun h 18

It wasn't enjoyable. Minis for June. H18. Hi. Poor. Every time the automated lady's voice said H18, it sounded like she was going, H18. So I thought I was watching porn or something. All right.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Those sort of automated voices at the beginning of porn clips. Is this the thing that you said? Are you lonely and you want to fuck a granny? Or something like that. When we were on the bus and you said, I've got something to say, was that it?

Yes. All right. It was dog shit. You're dog shit. Right we can get on here and there's a little beep machine. Right here we go. Are you going to fuck me up? No. I fuck you. I fuck you good. Will I pay for more? Hi. Oh, oh we've got a bit of a wait. 1448 is expected, but it won't come till 1450. Why is it so late?

I don't know. The thing is we've had bad weather in the UK the last few days, and it might be a knock on from that. It's a little not right international, really, listeners. Don't have to fucking keep your gob away from it. You always end up like deep-throating the mic. You don't need to. Here's the distance I am between me and the mic. Oh my god. You see what I mean? It's literally a hand span. Oh, as everyone's really enjoying. You should have your own

segment. Paul moans about Eli's mic technique. Yeah, it's called Cheap Show. I do it every week. Yeah, exactly. I'm going to go in here for an echo. Oh, what's in here? This is very liminal. Let me get a shot of that, get out of there. Oh, it houses bikes. It used to be a waiting room, honestly. Probably, cycles may be left here, free of charge at owner's risk.

So yeah, that's what we're doing today. Very empty and weird in here. Yeah. So yeah, that's what we're doing today Yeah Taking a picture of you like taking a picture the windmills of my mind I like it One of them give me an action pose Yeah, I won't point I won't. I'll just stand here like a soldier. That's more unusual. Good boy, Paul. Good boy, Paul. Thank you, Daddy.

Daddy like it when I play a game. Right. Erm... Lots of military shit. Yeah. When's the next one after it? When's the second one? Because I might have a cheeky, cheeky plan. What? 1503. I'm thinking there's a little Greasy Spoon cafe up the road. Might pop in and get a coffee in a Batsami and we'll be back for the 3303.

I know the one you mean. It's the one we always go to. Let's go. It's going to be like a six minute walk. We've already tapped in though. That's fine. No we don't. Do you have to tap out if you're at these stairs? No. You're tapped out out I'm tapped out no we tapped in but that's it we're on the platform doesn't matter and I'm tapped in and this is I'd like to tap that ass what my ass yes or the woman or the woman you said that out loud to us we

walked past her that made it sound like you were saying it to her. How dare you? Cut this. Cancel Eli, cancel him. Right, we're off to the Greasy Spoon. We're gonna see you when we're fed. Which is a bit like our original tat hunt, before we even got started, we went to the cafe. We were eating bacon sandwiches like that.

Good days, let's really create the good days. Cheap shows all about the good days. Right. Oh, look at that, boys. What? Say again, hang on, what? The pedestrian bridge, the old rusty one. That's the one we went across that time. It's such a great, it's such a picturesque bridge, I'm going to take a shot of it. Yeah, he's going to take a picture a shot of that. Right, see you in a bit everyone, see you in a bit.

She's number five in the world. Bidmeats Food isn't even the top 14 then. Who's the number one? Give me Chestnut. Joey Chestnut. Hey, I'm Joey Chestnut. What are we doing here? Joey Chestnut. Hey, I'm Joey Chestnut and I'm giving Cheap Show

my thumbs up for best economy eating guys. I'm Joey Chestnut and I approve this podcast. You need to move on fella. Why? Because I represent Jimmy Watercress. Jimmy Watercress associates. I'm from Watercress Associates and you need to leave. You need to get your Chestnut loving ass right out of here.

Get out of here. You don't mess with the watercress society. No, we should explain to everyone. Joey Chestnut is a real person, and is world number one competitive eater. He eats things fast for a living. And he's as thin as a rake, isn't he? It's not just eating things fast. He's eating a lot of things fast, isn't it?

There's speed, and there's also number of things eaten. Yeah. He's a speed and quantity eater. Anyway, we've just come back from the greasy spoon. I got a lovely Sammy sausage bacon. And what did you get? Sausage. You sound like that dog from the TV show.

Sausages. It's unusual to get sausage and bacon. You've got latte on your nose. I've got a little bit of fluff and latte on my nose. Anyway, the train's coming in now in about two minutes or so. So I think it's time to very briefly give you the rules of what we're doing today. It's very simple right? Usually we go out we try and do a price of shite we just buy any old bollocks and then we bring it back and guess it. Today we're doing like a kind of bingo-esque thing where

I have written down on a piece of paper six of the most common types of things we find in charity shops and things that have been on the podcast. And so I have six slips of paper. Oh, this fluff. Are you going to randomise this? Hang on, well, in a minute, yeah. The things are a toy, a board game, kitchenware like knives, forks, cutlery, gadgets for the kitchen, a party record.

That could be a mix. A stars on 45, a Mrs Mills, a James Last. We've got a book, and decorative trinket, something you'd put on a mantle piece, something that your nan would have. And so the idea is we're going to get to Watford, shuffle them all up, and then we're going to pick three each, and then we have to get... Mantle place? Mantle piece.

Yeah, you said mantle place. I know, but... That's one of those acorns, because it makes more sense for it to be a mantle place, doesn't it? Well, it's not a piece, it's a shelf, it's a place. You egg corned. You're the king of the egg corn. You heard it here first, everyone. I am the king of egg corns. So, with all that being said, we're going to get to Watford. I'm going to shuffle these all up, take three each, and then we're going to explore the many charity shops with Watford. See what we can bring back for part two of this. Oh the train's coming in, oh it's coming a little bit early. Departure time. Oh okay. I thought it was platform time.

It's not platform time. It is platform time. It's platform time, platform time. Get in the line for platform time. One two three four all in line. Get all together for the platform time. Very good, very very line get all together for the platform time very good very very good chuff comes the train just come to train get on tough chuff tough chuff I wanna see your hairy chuff chuff chuff up your muff Watford Junction trains coming in let's get on board no there's not I have to put my in my pocket until we get to Watford well now we're getting off at Watford High Street and not Watford station about four five okay it's a really short journey.

So we're going to get on the train. I'm going to press the button. And we'll see you in Watford. Is it this side? Yes, it is this side. Look, we're getting in now to Watford High Street, the station we're getting off at, and then we'll allocate the items for the game. Yes, I do love taking a suburban train this time of year because all of the foliage is

off and you get a lovely panoramic view. That just bit there coming into Watford High Street, really lovely, lovely sweeping curving view into the town it's on a hill it's like incline decline kind of thing going on as well look at that incline old incline one in five hundred level well that's how much it goes up one inch for every 500 along oh is that what it means one inch for every one inch all right you take a photo of that because I'm gonna just put this thing in the bin, jab and carry in for a while now Sorry Why has no one got any bins?

What is it with the bins? I've noticed not a single bin on any of the platforms. That's because of the terrorism in the 80s single bin on any of the platforms along this route. That's because of terrorism in the 80s. No, I mean look at these bins. Usually there's bangling, dangling bags. The bags haven't been replaced. Yeah, but there was like a week or so ago when I was there, they were there. It's not because of the IRA they got rid of the state's bags.

And in the state of our hospitals, that's a complaint that a lot of colostomy patients use. Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha! Let that go. Let it go! Because when I was growing up in the Northwest all the bins on the underground there on the Wirral line and City line they were all removed because of the IRA because you know we had a legitimate reason. That's exactly what happened in London. That's why you have those

because you get clear polyurethane or whatever bags so you can see in and see that there's not an incendiary device or bomb. Yeah. Although honestly it wouldn't stop you if you wanted to. Look, there you go. Yeah, we're gonna put these in the bin. Finally. Fuck you now. Liquid and hot cups it says so you gotta... Oh where'd I put that other trash there we go job done All right, did you have a little panic because you thought you'd lost your phone on the train Really gets me yeah does spitting when you speak as well get to Constant criticism no, it's what this content is for the show It is The ongoing content of this part is what it is. Right let's go over here and divvy up the items. Here we go lovely bench. A lovely bench. Museum that

way, town centre that way. We're going to cross the road and go over there for a minute but it's time to allocate. It's time to allocate the items. So there are six items, we're going to take three each and we're going to go to charity shops and find an item. I just want to say one thing? We got off at Watford High Street but we had to come through bushy and that's why I've got all these twigs on you. Oh mate come on. You're in dad joker mode today. It's actually quite impressive to some extent but still troubling. Bushy? Yeah no I got it. I'm actually quite emotionally fucking close to the edge. I've noticed. I'm feeling quite...

I've noticed. Well, I'm here to give the pep an energy that this podcast needs. So right, here are the six items. Okay, six items. I'm going to put them in my pocket. Big glass pyramid over there. Yeah, that big glass pyramid is the shop Cotswolds, which is where tents. I bet it wasn't built for that. I think it was. I think that was the whole thing. It's a mad structure actually isn't it? Yeah. Glass pyramid. I bet it wasn't.

Do you reckon it keeps itself warm because of that? Is that like the secret nature of it? No it's just no. It's all that kind of wasted space you can see that's where all the gubbins is. Oh there's lots of wasted space there. Because it's because it's just yeah scaffolding basically in a glass roof. When I was at boarding school we always used to take cinema trips to Milton Keynes. Right. Pyramid cinema there it's quite famous. I don't know it. The points it was called I think. Okay. And it was a pyramid shaped cinema. Right he's got some, good fact. Right. Getting shots for you. Okay good take some pictures. In focus ideally would be nice as well.

See if you can work on that. You fucking cunt. Right, so. You've just got a fucking needle, isn't it? Every fucking time. You need a needle. You're such a scouse cunt if you un-needle it. The problem is, you've given me more than enough rope over the years

to hang you on a regular basis. Oh, lynching me now? Yes. I'm going to hang you by your plums from Oh lynching me now? Yes. I'm gonna hang you by your plums from the nearest bushy. Nearest? And from the nearest... Come on get on sick of you now. Right in this pocket... Oh I have to reach in the pocket? You've got to reach into... wait not yet. Don't come in my pocket unless invited. It's like a vampire. The police there, we might look... don't just be abnormal. They might... I'm gonna... I'm gonna... wait there, wait till he goes past I'm going to give you this tenner in public.

Here we go. Oh there you go. Pump house theatre. Yeah. Is that a dirty theatre? Yes it is. It's where you go and there's lots of them pumping. Pumping house? To the gyrations of a dirty Beatrice the leggy stripper. She's very beautiful woman, very leggy. In fact that's all she is. She's just two legs that they throw on stage dangling by strings, they put it like perocchio and Eight men wank off to severed legs being dragged around on stage laughing it laughing it. It's coming out I won't if I throw Willie on stage as well a severed cockhead. There we go! That's not, I'm just laughing because I'm trying not to laugh. Not because it was funny. I don't care, it's a result either way. Fuck you.

Right so. Can I put my hand in the hot pocket now please? There are six pieces of paper in Ganon's hot pocket. And Eli's just got to pull out one right now. One now. So here we go. So the first item I'll be looking for today on the tat hunt will be... Yeah just the one. Always opening it up now. A toy! A toy! A toy! That should be easy for you. Yeah I like toys. I'm gonna go in. I'm gonna keep this safe then. He's going into his own pocket. I got it. What am I getting? Oh a board game! Oh that's good. That's good for me. Alright okay. So next. You've got an eye for a board game. Yeah Eli next. I'm reaching into the pocket and pulling out another one. I've got one

in my hand. Decorative trinkets. I'm getting all the ones. All the Beatles are dying in the right order here. Right here's the next one. Kitchenware. It's a bit of a middle of the row one anyway. Now there's only two left. Records or? Records or? Well we'll find out because we both are dope-addled brain can't remember things. I've got the record so the mystery one is the one that's left. Let's remind ourselves what it is. Here we go. Book! Oh that works. All right okay book. Just to let everyone know I today will be trying to get for around £10 all-in ceiling a decorative trinket, a toy and a record either a party record, a James Last record or a Mrs

Mills and if I see several of all three types I'll see I'll try and find the most fun one. Yeah into a shop and get whatever we see first. Once we get to the top of the row we can easily double back and just clean up on the way back if you just want to do a cursory search on the way up. Okay. Because like basically from here. Oh and then return that's a good plan. You see what I mean, look at all the shops on the way up and then on the way back. If something catches our eye. Yeah. Okay so we don't have to make a decision on the first part. No. So that's what we're going to do today but what we're going to do is we're going to start by going over that way because there's like Smith's toys and a couple of shops like that but there's also a charity shop there for animals it's a good place to start. PDSA is it? That's the PDSA. I'm a bit traumatized by it but I don't think I'm afraid to go back. I think it's

RSPCA yeah. Do they call it the RSPCA anymore? Yeah. I've never heard any contrary information to say that for some reason they've decided not to call it that no more. Contrary. Contrary. You said contrary. Contrary.

Is it contrary? Contrary. You say both, I think. I've heard people say contrary. You're getting all the words out today. Mantle place. Well, my perspicacity is doing brilliantly today, I think. Yes. so let us

wander over now to our first... Peter Savage made this manhole cover. Not personally, just those who work for him. And look there's that old safety mark, the heart, yeah. Is that an EU thing? No that's an old British thing. Oh yeah. But I think that's still in business. I remember seeing that on my car windows when people would drive me as a child. Yeah. I'm going to take a photo of that as well. Well that'll be fun. I'm having a lovely time here Paul. I'm glad.

Have you been set off? No we haven't yet or done much in the way of content at all. Well I'm just trying to pad it out. This is padding. Right. I've got padding. Shut up. We're going to go to that chat.

What? Tane the man. I don't really, not yet man. Yeah, I know. I don't really, not yet, everyone. Yeah, but it's coming. And then the joke will be on you, when you actually have that padded gusset you've been longing for for years. I don't long for it.

You do. I think you look for the comfort of a pamper against your groin. That's what I think. The comfort of a pamper against my groin. Yeah. Indeed. Eli's dirty diaper.

I'll change it, I'll pound you a bot-bot clean afterwards. Right, let's go to our first charity shop and we'll report back after we've been in. Alright, cool. Let's do it. Tat Hunt begins! Well, well Paul, we've just been in our first charity shop and it wasn't animal based one, you're right. It wasn't the PDSA or the RSPCA, it was the National Animal Welfare Trust or NART. And let's hope it's all not for NART.

NART, NART. Sorry. I did get something off my list, I got a kitchenware item. I got an extra item just because it was a kitchenware item and I got an extra item just because it was a very good price and I was quite drawn though I don't think it's a bit contentious maybe actually because it's a gadget more than a like a piece of cutlery is that alright absolutely I think gadgets are more interesting kitchenware is a gadget yeah it's a kitchen gadget I think

gadgets are allowed fine next one to make sure what I got which isn't one of the lists but it's just something for me. Yeah. This is Gwen's spider Stefani. Spider Gwen. Spider Gwen car. Look, little spider on the back quite nice detail. Is that a Happy Meal toy or something? I thought it was because it really has that look but I can't see usually Happy Meal toys have McDonald's somewhere. Yeah. It doesn't have that. So maybe it was from a larger toy set, a Marvel thing. Or maybe like an egg capsule type thing with one of those in. It's a cute little car with Spider-Gwen sitting there. Anyway, I always rate the NAWF.

It's only 75p. It's where you go again. No, do you want me to start a sentence or do you just want to interrupt whatever it is I say next? You know, it's been going back eight years now of constant interruptions. Eight years, well you're shaving years off like your age. Covid don't count as a year, that's the nebulae year-a-ly with e-ly. No the North NAWT National Anthem World Cup, I always rate highly, it's one of the favourite places to come to whenever in Watford because there's always something interesting.

It's a lovely charity shop, large and long. And also, I didn't get it because it was way out of the budget, but they had a Tiger electronics game in there, a Golden Axe. 15 quid though, for something you will not play more than once out of curiosity. Is Golden Axe a franchise or is it just... It's a Sega game that I think was an arcade game imported reasonably truthfully to their Mega Drive they also however it is a dog-dirt boring game left to right axe yet yeah yeah they also had some Sega review books did you see those review like old magazine a Mega Drive review

companions are called little paperback books. Yeah. You mean like magazines? No, they were like little paperbacks and it said review companions, Sega Mega Drive or something. I will say this, we live in a very good time with gaming because back then, if you paid £60 for a game and within the first 30 seconds of playing it you knew it was shit, you were fucked. Yeah. But with the benefit of a retro, I can say, thank God I didn't spend £30, £40 back in

the day on this because it's dog shit and also can I also I'd like to thank the cold seats that I've been sitting on for the last year because they've given me hemorrhoid what is fucking wrong with you today you're on like dad gag mode it's this very rare it's something you always sneer at me at. It's very strange. Anyway, we're now gonna head on to Watford High Street now because this is where the main strip begins of all the charity shops. So I reckon what we do is we walk.

So a lot of us here, there was a charity shop just there. That's gone now, yeah. That was a disabled disability aid thing okay but yeah mobility concepts something like that yeah it says it there still no that's the one next door it's a different shop but I think it was a charity supporting that either way we're gonna walk up the high street now and every time we come to a charity shop we're gonna pop in and then we're gonna report back on the outside of the shop before we go in remind you I'll be getting a book, a toy, a record, a toy, not a book.

You're getting a book. You're getting a toy, a party record and a trinket. A mantelpiece trinket. And I have gotten a kitchenware item. I now just have to find a board game and I have to find a book. And we're gonna do that now, so join us. Because I think there's a cancer research up the road. So that'll be the first one we get to.

There's usually not much of interest there, but oh God, oh I just did a verb. That's not a necessary. Oh, that's a hard thing somewhat. Oh, it's all that fatty sausage come back up. My throat just got invaded by a fatty sausage. And not for the first time, I can't you. Right, let's... Oh, there's a CX popping in.

We're taking a tangent already. I'm zooming up here, don't I? Zooming up. Zoomy-zoomies. Anyway... What's that bus? St Albans. That's one of those outside London buses. Weird. Oh, the ganja. Are we having a sex diversion? Yes, we're having a sex diversion. Right, see you in a bit. Right, we just went into Cancer Research. just because it's one of the stops on our shopping list and I think there's a book there for me that I might get should nothing else

come to me over the next few shops. I'm just going to doorstep this guy. Excuse me sir, sir, what's it like stealing a fucking cool badge right out the hand of someone who's a badge collector, doing it out of spite rather than actual love of the game itself? I'm not going to participate in this with you. Excuse me sir. Are you Roger Cooking me game itself. I'm not going to participate in this with you. Excuse me, sir. Are you Roger cooking me?

Yeah, I'm Roger cooking you. So Eli runs in, because he runs in, he's a little rat. He's a little rat he is. Rather than run in and go, oh, Paul, there's a badge you might like. He goes, here's a badge I'm having, Paul. I'm having this. I like badges too. Yeah, but not as much as me.

And by right, as your boss, you should take a knee to me. Do you want the fucking badge Paul? Because I'll give it to you. I'll pay you for it. I'll give you good money. In fact I'll even give you an extra quid on top mate. Fine. How about that? It's 450. Fine. Well maybe not fine. But anyway. It's a cherry top, it's a cola cherry bottle top pin badge. You don't see them very often. No, isn't it very cute? Look, I'm just having a bit of fun, ladies and gentlemen, but I will steal it from him before the day is done. So that was cancer research. Fine, nothing too unusual there.

It's nice crockery and stuff up here. You can definitely tell just from, because it's a bit further out, that stuff doesn't get like snatched up as quickly as it does in central London. Here's our next one, by the way, so here it is. Keach is it? Hospice care. Oh I like a hospice.

Now this is a proper, rubbly-dub, attic, brick-a-bracky kind of place. Alright, cool. So we're going to go in and there's loads of records in here, so we can't take too long. You've managed to tick one of your things off, I haven't ticked anything off yet. I've got to get a board game and what was it, a book? I still need to get a toy, a record and a trinket. So you mean all three things, you still have to do all...

But don't worry, once we get to the top of the road, we can race back and go to a place that we missed. So here we go, Keech Hospice Care, let's go see what happens. So we're three shops down, I think three to go. I'm almost done, I've still got a board game to get. What have you gotten? I have got a trinket.

Good stuff. Well, don't worry, there's time. Providing the shops don't close by 5.30 and we let you miss the bus, there's still plenty of time for you to get an album. Well that one's just at 4.30 but I think that's kind of not normal. Again... No, that would always shut us early that one. I'm surprised the prices are better up here for charity shops and there's more stuff. It's just better than Central London for charity shop shopping mate. I often pop up here for a cheap shop so, you know when we're like

Free of PO boxes and we can look for stuff ourselves always come here first because in a short concentration of space There's a lot of there's a high number of charity shops and the prices are fine by and large So I got a little book in there just then I go I'll give you a little teaser of it. Okay It's not a book teaser of it. Okay. It's not a book, but it is a theatre... what do you call it? A programme. A programme for a show. And when I saw it, my brain didn't go think about it.

It went, take that cunt now. You wanted to take that cunt now? Take it, have it now. Oh dear, I should have done that voice. I should have done that voice. It tickled you, yeah. It tickled me. Take it have it now Tickled me so yeah We've got I think we've got a British show the best British Art Foundation. It's not worth going into it's mostly sofas hoovers microwaves TVs mattresses yeah, but we've got a other British Art Foundation there we've got a Yeah, but we've got a other British Heart Foundation there. We've got a... Shall we go there next?

Yeah, we've got two more basically. Oh yeah, another RSPCA. So yeah, we've got lots to explore. There's even a food court there. If Eli wants to get a nibble on the way back. No, no. I had a Pav Vada. A Pav Vada? A Pav Vada, which is like a potato cutlet in a bread roll. Very spicy.

I didn't take a picture of that shop. I forgot to take a picture of that shop, remind me on the way back. So yeah, British Art Foundation, RSPCA, then I think we've got one more and then we have to do a quick run back through where we've been to collect the last of what we need. So I still need to buy a record.

Party record. Or James Last. Well that's a party record. Okay. All counts, so you've got that and you've got what? What else have you got to get? Gargoyle, Gargoyle, Gargoyle and he's generous.

You've got a trinket. Toy. Toy, yeah you've got to get a toy. Right. Good. Let's go into British Art Foundation. Ooh. What's in here then? Well we've just come out of RSPCA and British Art Foundation. RSPCA had much more for us, not that much more. I still got to get a board game and I think, I think I might have missed a window.

There was a place we went to, Keachers, that had a game that I was quite fancying and I could also play it at a later episode. But that's closed now and we have one more store so if this all fails we need to race back down to where we first started and grab a board game from there because I had my own one or two there that I could grab so with all that being said, Eli's just stuffing something into his bag right now and then we've got one more spot and then we've got to get a wiggle on. What time is it? Bear with me. Okay, twenty to five. Let's see what we can do. Mr Silverman, Mr Silverman. Yes?

I'm from Cheap Show, the podcast, out to expose people. How do you know my name then? I don't understand. What's the set up here? I've got a little proposal for you. I bought you something, just now, that I want to trade in that badge for. Okay. Now this is something that I'm going to give you the option. I'm going to show you it. I get to decide, don't I?

That's what I'm saying. I'm going to show you it and give you the option and then it's up to you whether you want this, a swap, a fair swap, or whether you still want the cold, hard, dirty cash. But if you do, I'm going to give you the money for it. For the badge. Oh, you're taking the cold, hard, dirty cash. But if you do, I'm keep... What do you mean the cash? Well, I'm gonna give you the money for it. For the badge. Oh, you're taking the badge, are you? 450?

Well, if you wanna give me it, I'll give you the cash. All I'm saying is... I don't need that badge in my life. I wanna just try, yeah, but now it's a burning part of me. Okay. It's festering like a scab. You need that badge, yeah? Yeah.

But I wanna do it legit. Well, I said we're gonna go up to sort of like five. Well, here's what I'm saying. The thing that I've bought... We could go up to five on bought the badge the thing that I've just bought is a fiverr Right, I'm getting value. I saw whether you want it or not. Why do you think I might want it? I just cuz I liked I like to give you options. Don't I oh, there's an Oxfam there forgot about that one All right, let's quickly go in there. I still need to get one item. I know and I need to get a board game I've got two records both of of which could be of interest.

So is that okay? I'm bending the rules there a bit. Listen before we get into our last two shops I'm going to show you it now and it's up to you whether you want it hard swap or whether you want a kiss don't get a peek because I've also got the other things for the episode. Alright here we go ready? Hand out. What is it?

Oh dear. It's a frisbee. A silicon frisbee. Wadober Wingman silicone disc flies over 130 feet. I'm gonna have to swap this aren't I? Yeah there you go. I collect frisbees. It's got a design on it like a kind of beach Hawaii. Really nice thing, well spotted. Yeah. Cool, I like because I've got that world smallest that Tom gave me, the world smallest frisbee this is a very nice thing Paul what five inches something like that it's yeah six five inches six I'd say oh it goes over 40 meters it goes a long way is that worth is that worth it's mint on card it's got the packaging I'm gonna get the badge out of my pocket. Here we go Ganon this is the art of the wheeler dealer this is what it's all about on Cheap Shop. If I haven't dropped it. If you've dropped it mate. Here it is. It's a fair swap gov.

It's a fair swap gov. Pictures of all these items. It's got the card on it. Happy Sunday vintage so this is an actual bottle top that someone's converted. Oh I like that though. I do like that. You do like it? Yeah. Okay you're still happy? We're not getting buyer's remorse? No no, no, let's shake hands on this. Okay, weird, but yeah. I was gonna say pictures of all on our website, but that won't be till next week now. Anyway, there's Oxfam and there's one up the road there. There will be pictures of the day, so to speak, on our website.

Yeah. I still need to get a toy. Yeah, I need to get a board game. So we've got two more shops and then if we're not, I'm gonna race back down to where we first went to and grab a board game there. You can't find a board game here. All right, so we're going into Oxfam.

My prediction is Oxfam's not going to be very good because it's sanitised. There's some funk up here. But to be fair, last time I went to Oxfam they did have that massive spitting image board game. What was that last one we were in? That was RSPCA. Very good. Funky, funky brickbrack. Right, Oxfam, then one more and then we'll report back and see if we need to race back to the beginning. Alright we're going in we're going in.

Tat Hunt continues. Right so we went to Oxfam. The only thing in there of interest was a lovely old lady I was speaking to about Kyle and Gallagher albums of which I know nothing but she knew a bit. And then we went to go to there's another hospice here but it was closed and it's a shame because that one's usually got some nice board games in. And I think the place I was gonna get a board game is closed now. Oh, you still haven't got a board game? No. What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna go back to the first place because there was at least one or two there I could grab. I still need a toy. I reckon the first place is perfect for it. There's loads of toys on the shelf there. National Animal Welfare... Yeah. Noirc. Noirc? Not. What's the T for? Trust. National Animal Welfare Trust. So, it's about quarter to five now. I think we can get there in time. If not... It's just at 5.30.

You'd think. Often they do. I mean, they often do. It's not unusual. Well, we've got 15 minutes to find out how disappointed we're gonna be it's funny more leads up here more leads fried chicken shops which everyone in South London South London goes on about how it's like a South London thing they're not they're all over the fucking place you couldn't get less than South London than here hey didn't you say you had something to say about something oh yeah I'll keep walking. Look at that brutalist car park. Nate you've got to focus on the game with TAC hunters in flocks. No this is just something that happened to me the other day in Haringey. There's a new sort of boutique style charity shop up there and it says working for cancer charities but it's not a specific charity

which makes me wonder. Anyway they've got a chalkboard outside saying come and bring your records here we'll give them a new home you know whatever you like. Yeah and so I thought and they've got a chalkboard outside saying come on bring your records here we'll give them a new home you know whatever you like yeah and so I thought they've got records didn't realize I had records in there and I go in there and they've got a box of records at the back and flipping through they're all like two pounds but mainly it's just sort of 80s R&B stuff kind of not very interesting and I saw this LP. A little windy. Carla Thomas LP on Stax. Now Carla and her brother Rufus Thomas,

who did Walking the Dog and other tunes, were the first artists signed to the Stax label in America. And she did Baby, you know that? Baby? Yeah. Oh baby, I love for you to call me baby baby baby why baby I like it I like it I like to call you so she's great soul singer and it looks like it's a nice LP one of her LPs no price so I'm like oh I picked up

I'm getting dangerously bored of this story this don't get dangerously bored shut your mouth just pick it up because I'm tuning, oh, I picked up. I'm getting dangerously bored of this story at this point. Don't get dangerously bored. Shut your mouth. Just pick it up because I'm tuning out. That means the listener is too. No, it doesn't. Do you know what the listener's fucking thinking, Paul? They're thinking I hate it when Paul constantly interrupts Eli, incessantly. You interrupt me in the middle of you fucking lying prick-cunt-prick-bastard. How dare you?

I have got eight years of content of you interrupting every sentence. Why is it eight years now? Just then, just then, you literally did just then. Because you're not saying anything. I am. I'll finish telling this story later. No one's interested. No, I want to finish telling that story because you're bored. You heard the story already.

Have I? Yes. Still boring, innit? It's pointless. We're trying to get to the shop I will continue this later. Right when we calm down a bit the stress of it is getting to you obviously you can't handle a tat hunt. You need to get a whole fucking board game mate. Yeah that's fine. I only need to get a toy, there's toys all over the fucking place. I know that's what I'm doing. So fucking calm your boots you prissy little tat hunt loser.

Now I know you're all dying to hear the rest of my story but don't worry I will be telling you the rest of the story later. Just for patrons only? No it's not! I'm gonna cut it out and put it in like that. Is this still open or is it closed? Ah it's closed. 4.30pm. That was where I was going to get a particular board game I had my eye on. Oh you're fucked then aren't you? If I'd seen 4.30 properly I would have just bought it. I saw that when we walked in. Ah, well. Why don't you finish your story? The Gwen Stefani car is going to be my toy if we're not careful. Well, then I've seen it, though. I don't want to finish my story because I'm

getting out of breath walking. All right, anyway, OK. Let's race down. The clock's on. Let's race down and see what they've got. Hopefully that place is still open. All right? I'm really hoping it. Let's race down and see what they've got. Hopefully that place is still open, all right? I'm really hoping it is. All right, let's see how it goes.

Big Trub Trubs. Big Trub Trubs. Failing that. I can tell my story. Failing that, we could go to Smith's and just pop in and get a board game. And a toy. And a toy.

When's that open till? Well, I presume later than 5.30 because then it's a huge, big retail shop and a shopping arcade. They often have discounted toys in there, I could get something like that. Well that might be our last resort, let's find out. We'll see if this is open. Tat Hunt continue A.

It's getting very contentious right now. Just let me finish my story later. Nah, it's not happening. Please. Beg for me, give me that pin badge and I'll have a look. I gave you the pin badge already! As host of Cheap Shire I'd like to apologize for the unnecessary aggression towards my co-host. Thank you.

But time was tight, we were running out of shops and our budget. Indeed we did. And indeed we did. We got to the North... North... North... North... North...

North... North... North... North... North... North... North... North... North... to Smith's and the rule was treat it as if it was a charity shop, look for something deep and cheap, you know what I mean? Under a fiver. Yeah.

And I went way under a fiver. Now, at the beginning of the day Paul, you got a tenner out, you handed me a crisp... Crisp ten pound notes. And said all your items have to basically come in and round then. I'll tell you right now. Cool, well that ruins next week's episode then when we had to get... come in and round then. I'll tell you right now. Cool, that ruins next week's episode then when we had to guess the prices of stuff. Remember at the beginning we said for a bonus you want to guess? You'll forget.

I did purposely not listening so I don't remember. I love your short term memory is shot. I tell you what. Reference last week's episode all about weed. That didn't happen. Can you remember how much I spent on the trinket? You can't can you? You are Mr. Civ Brain. To be fair I was thinking about my own price at the time and counting them up.

All I'll tell you to you is that it came to 11 a quid. You went over the black quid. 11 a quid. Okay. I wasn't trying to give the game away. I was just trying to say I feel quite proud that I managed to stay on budget there. Yeah, no you have. Unlike most major features. Anyway anyway end of my story you can I can hold it if you

want it if you're gonna get bored I can hold the thing you just tell your story so I'm in the shop now I'm in the shop and I get this Carla Thomas LP but all the other shut up all of the other records are like two or three pounds yeah but this one is on price. So I pick up a couple of other things I'm interested in, some 12 inch singles and the Carla Thomas LP, go up to the desk and the guy behind the desk already I don't like because he goes oh what have you found like that you know what I mean oh what have you found like oh isn't it great vinyl and you find things and I

went there's no price on that one and he said to me that record had a sleeve plastic sleeve on I went yeah I took that off because it was polyurethane that ruins records it outgasses and ruins records this is a whole other thing we could discuss but it's true okay shut up shut up that's he's the still part of the story and anyway I said and I so and then he went oh I'm just gonna check the price on this and already I'm like No, and then I see him it's discogs Then I see him take his phone out and go back into the back room like and I'm like, okay if this if it's a fiver Then it reasonable because it is you know, if it's something like a fiver if he says it's a fiver that would be fine

He's in there for about five minutes. I'm like, fuck this. I just wanted to pick up a record in a charity shop, you know? It's not about waiting for you to do research online. It's something I could do on my phone right now. Yeah, I could have done that. You know what I mean? And he comes out, like five minutes later, and I know I shouldn't be because it's a

charity shop, I shouldn't get angry, but I was pissed off. And then he goes, yeah, it's 25 quid that mate. And I'm like, all the other records are two pounds. And he goes, no, this one's 25. And then I said to him, you just looked on Discogs and picked the highest price on Discogs and then said that. He went, no, there were some for 30 on.

And it's like, what mate, what are you fucking talking about? For one thing thing I went and graded it no he hasn't graded it it's all about condition with vinyl and those ones that are selling for 25 or 30 are definitely very good plus very good plus yeah VG is not that good VG plus yeah anyway so he hasn't taken that consideration the other thing is there's at least like 35 different versions of that LP, and only certain versions are going to get... Different labels, different releases.

Not different labels, different releases. Yeah, different versions released. Yeah, it's all on stacks. Anyway, he doesn't mention any of this, of course, and then I'm just like, ugh. And he goes, well, do you want to take the other one? I'm like, no. You've pissed me off so much with your... You didn't say that bit, though.

No. No, I just went no, and then I walked away. But come on this is what it's just terrible customer service it's like have you walked into a shop and went oh I like that how much is that and then they have to go and check the price and you know what I mean it's just disrespectful and also people don't have any idea about the nuances of actually pricing vinyl secondhand vinyl I've noticed that there's a check record not record there's a chat with me and me

all right so now it's my turn and you can fuck off to your story. I'm pacing angrily but I was listening. Alright, okay, well, there was a charity shop up the road from me in Harrow which usually had a nice selection of vinyl records, 12 and 7 inch. And at the time it was all affordable, but then I went in once and all of a sudden every single album was 25 quid, 30 quid. And when I opened it up, smudges, scratches, torn labels, torn whatever. Yeah, it's ignorance and it pisses me off.

I know it's meant to be charity but come on mate, that's not how you sell something. You make sure you price everything up before you put it out. You know what I mean? You don't go in the back room with your fucking mobile. Anyone can do that. If the thing is worth 25 quid, there would have been a sticker on it in the first place and save you the whole conversation. You know what I mean? Fair enough.

Anyway. And I would have said that's a bit overpriced but I wouldn't have been angry with him. It's just people feel like, oh vinyl's this new thing and they're all worth a load and you know what I mean? It's this kind of assumption. And it's not anything's not thought through properly. So you know, you tell me listener, was I being out of order? Because it was a charity shop after the, oh but seriously.

No, no, but here's the thing, it was a charity shop after all. But seriously. No, no, but here's the thing. You run a charity shop, yes, you want to price things to get the best dollar, all this kind of stuff. The point being is though, if it's unlabeled, I am deeply suspect before the off about anything. Yeah. You know, sometimes you go, oh yeah,

they forgot all the sticker came off. But sometimes you think that's been purposely unpriced. So whoever's on call that day can make an arbitrary price out of their asshole. And I hate the way it's like That place near you which has no price on anything But then they tend to turn around and say those seven items in a board game 50p, please. That's good. Yes, that's we can get billed on that. It's a relationship. That's a proper charity shop

this is just feels gougy, you know, it feels gougy and yeah, so I won't be going back in there and it just demonstrates just the enshitification of the world because it's everyone's just like I'll just look at my phone and tell me how much did it worth you know I mean and it's just like I just don't want to think about it and I'll just oh it's expensive. I'll tell you what anyway it's been a thrilling and fast-paced shopping day today for us both we're gonna get a coffee now and then we're gonna head back to the Harrow Haunted House on the Hill

where we're going to record next week's episode the reveal and the pricing and the item off. We're going to have mediocre to poor coffee in Costa first. Yeah, that is the plan and then we're going to have a mediocre and poor journey home followed by a mediocre and poor... To poor. To poor. Podcast recording.

To poor. To poor. To pow. Mediocre and poor. China in your hand. I had some China in my hand and I bought it and so I'll drink it. Yeah. Well there you go.

Yay! Yay! Now name me the second hit Te Pau had. Was it called... Hey, I'll just tell just take this I don't know right one or two they had one or two but for the sake of purposes of this pool the sheet and that band and it's like as he can fuck off down there it's not it's up here you keep walking in front of me yeah that's where they put

the sign that's not where the shop is the shop is literally what's that what's that up there weird this is a clothing shop you literally... What's that? What's that up there? Weird. This is a clothing shop. You can't... Why does it say... Yeah, but this is what I keep telling you. You're losing your mind because you're not listening to me, the man in charge who knows the facts. Oh, fuck yeah. Right, let's go into... Where are we? It's a shop. Let's just go in. It's fine, we're getting a coffee. Is it upstairs?

Yeah, it's upstairs. We're going to do that now. Right, and then we can head home. Is it upstairs? Yeah, it's upstairs. We're gonna do that now. Right, and then we can head home. Right, your good friends Paul and Eli are back on the Lioness Line. The next stop is Bushy. That's what I've heard. I wish I was coming into Bushy. I wish I was entering Bushy.

You've gotta mind the gap. Ha ha ha ha. Don't you dare fucking give me a golf laugh. Come on, mind the gap alright. The gap between the thigh and the balls. Yes. It's not very funny. No. Anyway, we're heading back now, the plan is to get off at Hatch End. Are we in Bushy? It's very hard to see with the thick undergrowth. Is this all you've got? Oh it's really hard to see it's like a safari out there. There's lots of shrubs. I'm just gonna stop, I'm just gonna stop. I'm gonna interrupt you here and just stop you. So yeah we're gonna head back to the Harrow haunted house on the hill where we'll record part two of Tat Hunt. We will go through our items and evaluate and discuss and debate who

got the best stuff. You had to get an emergency board game but it was cheap very that's good you was it reduced yes it was on sale I've managed to get I got two two records and two two toys almost almost gave the game away there. I also did get a vinyl but that's for me. It was Ghostbusters 2 On Our Own by Bobby Brown in pristine condition. So I'm going to donate the other one that I've had to a friend of mine so they can have it for their collection. And on Paul's request I picked up Jem Davidson's version of White Christmas. Stuart Millard, if you're listening, you're getting that.

We've got a little bit of a pocket of stuff for you when you eventually have the balls to come on our show. So yeah, sorry Stuart, in advance. Just because these aren't part of the game. Don't look. I'm not looking. I'll just quickly go through these sevens I picked up that are really nice. Very quickly. Erm, Old Man Neil Young, Other Side Heart of Gold.

For my money those are the two best Neil Young songs. Old Man and a li-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di-di- Remember that? He's giving me... there's that Jim Davis. I'm just gonna go, I'm just gonna leave him to it. I'm just gonna pretend this is recording. This is not recording right now by the way. Too High, Stevie Wonder. You don't have to sing every example of the song you go on. You know that one that the Red Hot Chili Peppers did a cover version of. That's really nice, both from the Inner Visions album from the early 70s. That's a really lovely thing. Raw Band, why do I know the Raw Band?

They did the crunch. Yeah, it's them. It's that one guy. Raw stands for something. I keep forgetting what it stands for. But this is a different one. Message from the Stars. That's the big hit off that album.

Oh. That's the one with like an antiphon with a lady saying, Hi, I'm leaving a message for you. Is it any good? I like it. Because it's got the sort of astro mixon with a lady saying, I'm leaving a message for you because I like it. Because it's got the sort of astro mix, like a dub mix on the other side of this. I'll tell you what that sounds like. But the original was like... They did the crunch.

Yes. That's a big hit as well. No, it wasn't. That was just an album hit. The only hit off that album is the one you've got there. The message from another song. You'll recognise it as soon as we play it, I swear to you. Nathan Jones, The Supremes, on a Motown yesteryear. But more interesting to me is Bad Weather by The Supremes. Now this is the one I found for you when you said that.

It's a really lovely modern soul number, Bad Weather. Really, it's an excellent tune. And this is The Supremes. This is The Supremes after Diana Ross has left. Yeah, on their own. So it's the other singers in the super- Beacon of On Our Own, that's the title of the single I bought by Bobby Brown.

Stevie Wonder's one of the writers of Bad Weather. So maybe he's of done a version, because he was one of the in-house writers. No, those are the- Was he an in-house writer before he became an artist of his own? He was a young kid, because he used to be called Little Stevie Wonder.

His first hit was as Little Stevie. He was literally like 10 or something. So no, I don't think he started songwriting until later on. Yeah. Well, we're in Carpenters Park now. Not Carpenter. Carpender, for the record, yeah. Is it Carpenters Park?

Look at the scene. This is a lioness, lion dress. It's how you'd say the word carpenter if you were a Radio 1 DJ in the 1980s. Listen, we're going to... That's wicked. Thank you. We're going to get back to our journey and we'll see you a little bit later. Carpenter! Carpenter! Charity! Carpenter! Right, we're on the H14. That's where we did episode 300.

And the digitiser, two digitiser live shows. Three digitiser live shows. And I think even when we get there, if I'm being honest, Cheap Show 500 might be there as well. Because that will be next year, Cheap Show 500. Is it really? Yes. So I'm just saying.

I want to do a big live one. We should do one big huge live show for 500. I think that's apt. And then call it a day? Yeah. So, I wanted to say this as well so you know we went to that charity shop that wasn't a heart one it was the one next door RSPCA they had a changing room right and in the changing room this guy just walks us in sits in there with the curtain open he just

sits in there and then starts opening his mail and reading it and go no no No, no, and then leaves them in the room and then again typical for Gannon I hear a bum tumble Big grunter and it was one of those fat wet ones that was stretched over tight fabric is this big huge dude It was like quack quack quack quack quack quack Either way he did and then he just left and he went to the woman behind the counter Are you working on your own today? And she went no my friends in the back he went oh

Oh alright then And then just walked off He's a monster in every way Yeah Oh that's really, oh well Well the funny thing is he goes I'll see you tomorrow And she went no no No and he walked off

So I don't know what the history of that was but also the woman on the bus coming in who had a shouting rage at the fire engine going past Maria rage at what people trying to save people's lives stood up and basically said something to the effect of you do you too damn loud and it was pointing out it and then sat back down People will just complain about the people who are saving their lives Paul. You know? Also see this field here behind us. This is where I want us to do the Cheap Show sports day this year. We'll do a sports day, egg and spoon race, sack race, we'll see if anyone wants to be guests, aerobie or golf.

Golf will be quite hard to set up because we have to set up the holes. We just do a distance. Put a hula hoop ring down and that'll be it. All right, but not 18 holes though, we'll do a five holes. Which is that lady from Bushy. No, five holes is the lady from Total Recall who has four tits. What do you mean she's got five holes? Well, he implied it! Where are the other holes? She's got... Up all round there!

I mean, at best you've got up front, back front. Double back front. No, you've got ears, mouth and nose. They're your orifices. But only two of them, no, three of them are worth sexing. No one, I mean maybe there's someone out there. Oh, Ming's is open. Yeah, Ming's is great fish and chip shop. Have you had fish and chips from there?

Yeah, many. That's a classic fish and chips and Chinese takeaway. And it's good. And it's good. I love, there's a certain romance to the Chinese fish and chip hybrid shop. Anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that at best, unless you've got a kink for nose fucking or ear fucking, you've only really got three holes to play with, right? Because the lady from Total Recall has five sex holes. How does this do that?

In the law book of Total Recall! There is no law book of Total Recall that states that the three-breasted lady in it has five holes. Five specific sex holes. The only thing... There's the anus, the vagina, the bumgina. It's like a vagina and a bum but it's called a bumgina and then there's the... No, you know what? This conversation's over. There's the anus! Right, we're going to stop now because whatever it is you're doing... There's the anus nostril! Can you not shout on a bus full of people, anus nostril, please?

Can you just not? Sorry. Good, you need to calm down. You need to save this energy for episode 2. Oh god. Which everyone will hear next week but we're going to go ahead and record tonight. Right, let's just enjoy the rest of the bus journey in relative fucking calm sobriety. I should have died by the time I get home, bloody hell. Oh stop whinging. You're fucking off to America for two weeks and abandoning me. In two months time? Yeah exactly. Come on. Oh stretch your legs mate. Oh you must have cramp. Yeah joggers cramp. I love this bit this overpass bit and hatching

because you can look out over the station. Right. I like these elevated roads, look you can see them all. Yes you can that's up towards Howe and Wildstone there. You can see there's all lights in the distance. It gives the light of this being in any way rural. It's still like the middle of a city but it has that weird suburban... When we did that episode at Stanmore Country Park, when you look out all you see is the tops of trees, so it looks far more pastoral than it actually is.

Right, let's enjoy the rest of this short journey in peace. I'm enjoying it. I think I'm glad. We were at the front and it looks like we're driving the bus. There's actually no one on this object with us. No, because two of them went down the stairs because you were screaming arse vagina. Arse vagina, that's a good one. It's not.

Arse muff. Tick quim. Tick quim. Tick quim! Wow, I'd go for that. That's not really a whole so much as a couple of mounds. Oh, you know what? I'm stopping this. I'm stopping this. Right, so we've gotten off the bus.

And we're heading back to my gaff to record part two, which you will hear next week. So as we walk back, it is just enough time to say thank you for supporting Cheap Show all these years and listening if indeed you do enjoy what we do yes we've been going nearly a decade now but we would still love some reviews comments on all the various platforms iPods you know what I mean

That was you! Oh ho ho ho ho ho! Mate, if it's me, if it's me... That sounded like one of your... They're getting panoramic sound versions of it. You're getting your daft sprat cut.
