Starting point is 00:00:00 Ask me, Mr Silverman, what I have for breakfast. What did you have for breakfast today, Paul? Well, you know I went to McDonald's. Yes. So why don't you think based on what you know. Oh, I mean I know what you got then. Yes, so you tell me what I got today. You got a double sausage egg McMuffin meal.
Starting point is 00:00:18 Correct. You selected hash brown rather than fruit bag. And you got a latte as your drink and and extra for hash brown I don't know now I now I'm stumped extra I'm stumped porridge oh you got porridge and bacon roll with HP sauce Wow Wow, you're hungry. Mm-hmm. And a large lot. I had a fierce appetite this morning. You really did. Because I woke up and I had the most immense need for doings.
Starting point is 00:00:51 And it all came out. All came out. I felt like it was empty. That was the only way I had to restock. I don't know if this is the best way. I mean, it's what we always talk about. Well, then I'll have a little self-report on my own. Bowel situ.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Look, guess what? Three words, can I just say three words? Yeah, go for it. Difficult bowel movement. I've had got a bit of constipation today, Paul. Oh, so you're bunged up rather than loosey-goosey. Yeah. No one wants to be loose. But at least I'm aware of that.
Starting point is 00:01:17 And now I'm not straining because I know I'd give myself piles if I did that. Anyway, 50 years old, everyone. Fun times. Your colon is 50 years why don't you explain to everyone what's going on nothing hello everyone nothing's going on today we're not going to Brighton we're not on a trail of Victoria waiting we're not gonna have a lovely day out and we're not gonna try and see to we have some more fun in a location so many of you enjoyed this I this is you you're
Starting point is 00:01:42 just scraping the you're now doing doing what all the major streaming services do and trying to scrape for IP. Scrape your own back catalogue for IP, aren't you? You're dirty. Dirty boy. I'm a dirty IP scraper. Right, Mellow, why name it IP Scraper? Didn't it win at one best episode?
Starting point is 00:02:01 When we... Rhiannon's Cheap Show show awards it won best ever episode didn't it yeah it was the listener favorite so that's that's big IP and that's why we thought we'd take the appropriate measures to try go back to that well and see if we can scrape the barrel of content there actually no you know what it is I just want a day out and it's a lovely day and I thought let's go back and this time I'm playing it straight edge. No booze, no naughty cigarettes. I'm straight edge today. Yeah, straight edge because I also don't want to spend 80% of my time trying to find a
Starting point is 00:02:33 place to urinate this time out. I don't want that to be a thing. You do want it to be a thing really though. This is all part of the mystique of the Brighton episode, the original one. Now, what people do want to know about is what sources has Eli brought today? Well, you're in luck, everyone. Oh, he's got a boom bang a bang box. Garlic mayo. It's very good. I know you don't care for garlic, but that is a very good. I can't get McDonald's without that. Have you had the McDonald's Frank's hot mayo yet?
Starting point is 00:03:04 Yeah, it's nice. Dry, not much spicy, not much heat as you'd think, but it's got a nice Frank's Red Hot is a very tart and vinegary hot sauce. So that's what people crave sometimes. And I find I crave the salt and the vinegar in hot sauce as much as the heat you know I like a dry like no no that's enough now no I let you pontificate oh hang on little Hampton we're going to Little Hampton yeah they're gonna be all right then we the two lovely French ladies who are like, is he going to Gadwick? We were like, yeah, maybe, possibly. Look at the sign! Gardian, look at the sign.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Anyway, just a quick rundown of the rest of the sauces. Yeah, because this is an intro, it doesn't need to be. Just a quick rundown of the rest of the sauces. Ten seconds. No, don't give me time like that. Got soy sauce. We're leaving the station, everyone. A lem sip. That's not officially a sauce. I'm opening the other side of the box.
Starting point is 00:04:09 Oh, classic Heinz tomato ketchup. And two from Leon, because I went to Leon yesterday. It's terrible Leon. Yeah. It wasn't very good at all. No. But the lady who was in a very bad mood did give me all three of the sources When she handed me my bag lay on a only
Starting point is 00:04:28 Garlic another garlic. Oh, you know what I like sources Leon chili sauce Well with all that out of the way we can now get on to our days adventure because Paul Gannon Eli Sylvan you going back to the well and we're going back to Brighton. Back to the well, that's the phrase. That's the word. So we're going back to the IP well. The goodwill well.
Starting point is 00:04:50 Yeah and we are going to see if we can have another fun day in the sun on Brighton Beach and hey why don't you come along with us and see what happens. We haven't got a plot. Well, Paul. Well, no that was my intro and then the music comes in. I know, I know, but just before you go, when we come back up, I do have some suggestions for things we can do. So we need to do that on the train, don't we? So next time you hear our voices, we'll be coming into Brighton and looking at the things we might be doing today.
Starting point is 00:05:22 But we're going to Brighton. Hello, welcome to Cheap Show. This is the episode where we go to Brighton. See you after this musical sting introduction. My My flying buttons are undone. Is it on? Do you know what I have in my legs? What? Doms. Doms? Doms.
Starting point is 00:06:16 What's that? Delayed onset, muscular strain from all the dancing I've been doing. And humping records. Here we are in Hove. We're late. We're light. Right, yes, hello. Welcome back to the podcast. Eli and I are, erm, the train leaves here in seven minutes, but I'm not sure what platform. We've arrived at Hove after a reasonably lovely gentle journey. I think we need to go out on the subway. Where's that though?
Starting point is 00:06:47 Go, you do some research for a change, you take control. All right. There's a stairs that go under. Yeah, there's under stairs. Let's go on the under stairs. Look. Yeah, it's not going here. The second one's going to Bogna Regis.
Starting point is 00:07:02 We don't want to go to Bogna Regis. No one wants to go Bogna Regis. Right, let's to go to Bogna Regis. No one wants to go to Bogna Regis. Right let's go on the rear. So hello, yes we are at Hove. We are now going to change at Hove to go to Brighton. Our ticket meant we had to change. Look at this subway. I know. Do you want to take a picture of me in this subway being sexy? Yeah, I wouldn't say cool Because there's nothing particularly You're right. No, Only Ghostbusters themed things are poor. Ah ha, that was God tripping you up for being mad about Ghostbusters.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Must have been a ghost. Yeah, a ghost tripped you up. Right, Brighton, 12 o'clock on this platform, job done. I was right, wasn't I? About the subway coming to the other platform. Just let me know. But I don't mind. Paul, shall I give you the suggestions that Mark has given me
Starting point is 00:08:06 for things we could do in Brighton. Yes. So, a good friend, what can I say, of the show, but I don't think he listens, but a friend of Eli Silverman's called Mark Allen. He was an early friend of the show, but he's got his own podcast now, Neuro Shambles. Neuro Shambles.
Starting point is 00:08:23 Yes, where he interviews people who have neurodivergent children. I can't make fun of that. How am I meant to make fun of that? Mark wants executive producer credit on this, so is that okay? We'll negotiate off recording about that, I think. Let's see his suggestions. Because he hasn't put any actual financial you know involvement into this. Send us a couple of quid and we'll consider it. Tell him ten pound gets
Starting point is 00:08:51 him executive no 25 pound gets him executive producer rights on any episode of cheap show podcast so as a result anyway Mark Allen is a resident of Brighton and he has sent us some ideas of what we can do because we don't want to retread completely what we did last time so we're not gonna I guess. So what did he say? First thing he said I reckon this would be great for your socials. Because you said you wanted to do the elephant's hole or something what was it called? The elephant's trumpet. What was it called? Name other bits of elephant please, I like this.
Starting point is 00:09:27 The elephant ears. I love it when you list things, come on more. Rhino wang. No rhino wang, that's illegal. You can't have grated rhino. I've got some grated rhino wang in my bag. You put it on pizza. I need caffeine, I'm not ready for this. I need a bit more caffeine to be honest. The bantering and the Rappatage. What is it? Well, Rapoprop... What's that word? Rappatage.
Starting point is 00:09:51 Now you've said it wrong. It's in my head. Rappatage. Repertoire? Rep... Rappatage. No, it's Rapparty. Rapparty.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Fucking hell, man. Why are you getting angry at me? You're the one who fucked it up. I'm not getting angry. I'm not getting angry. Right. I'm dis getting angry. Right. I'm dissembling. Anyway, it's nearly midday and our train will be here in two minutes.
Starting point is 00:10:10 Two minutes? That was a quick seven minutes. Wasn't it? Anyway. Yeah. Oh, here it is. It's our train already. Calling a bright and oldie. Yeah. Well, that's good, isn't it? Because we're only going, Brian. Fucking great. But that's fine. We can still go through the list. Shall we get on the train and then I'll tell you his suggestions, yeah? Yeah, if's good, isn't it? Because we're only going, Brian. That's fucking great! But that's fine, we can still go through the list.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Shall we get on the train and then I'll tell you his suggestions, yeah? Yeah, if you want. No, I want. I don't know, you can do whatever you want. Do whatever you want, mate. Oh, mate. I mean, you know what? I'm in good spirit today, ladies and gentlemen. Good spirits. I've had a half decent sleep.
Starting point is 00:10:39 I'm feeling fruity. I'm straight edged today. So, I mean, no booze, no alcohol, no drugs, no nothing. Straight edge all the way through today. You're not going to get through the whole day, mate. Mate, I can feel it in my heart. Right, we can... Oh, a little rebel. I know, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:59 Of course, this is the minute where we sit down straight away. That's when someone comes out and goes, You're in first class oink get out We're only going one stop They won't mind if we sit in first class for a bit because what do you think makes this first class and not? That bunch of shit seats this napkin that says first class that they've strewn over the back the headrest And as a result you then I have to pay another 70 quid more on top Oh, I feel you my hair is not touching directly onto the headrest and as a result you then have to pay another 70 quid more on top. Oh I feel you, my hair is not touching directly onto the headrest.
Starting point is 00:11:27 Oh the luxury. Aye. It's bullshit, it's a scam. I think first class is a scam now especially more that you never end up seeing any people in first class so it doesn't really fucking matter. So why so much of the carriage is taken up with it I don't know. Hmm. Anyway what did he say?
Starting point is 00:11:46 This would be great for our socials. Welcome to Upside Down House UK, a unique photo experience that defies gravity. No, I'm up for that. I know, I need you to. Although do I have to pay to go to an upside down house? I think we're going to have to pay. Shall I see how much it is? Yeah, go on.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Oh look, it's like an upside down house and you can take photos and you're upside down. Yeah didn't we just explain that. Oh oh oh oh oh. All right so. Yeah it's like that. See she's on the ceiling. I don't know I'm not sold on that that's a six out of ten at best for me as an option. Oh you've been more excited before. They've got loads of uptight downhouses, one in Bristol, one in Lakeside, Westfield, White City. We'll just do one near us. Come on, it would be great for our socials.
Starting point is 00:12:37 How much does it cost? You know what would be great for our socials? Not having our socials or my fascists. That would be good for our socials, yeah. So, alright, we'll put a... It's £7.45. We'll put a pin in that. I'm not against it. It's something... It's a possibility.
Starting point is 00:12:52 It's a possibility. Or we could just go to a normal house and turn our phones upside down. Yes, I mean, it's... yeah. It's pure... dystopian Instagram content generating non-thing. Anyway, that's my opinion fancy having the balls to just go to an arts council grant and go my thing is upside down houses for Instagram people to take pictures good here's some money to do that people yeah but it's like those murals you see now that are just
Starting point is 00:13:19 for like angel wings or whatever literally just designed as a gimmick so people can take a photo on their phone. I guess it's just the way of the world. Asinine, Fassile, Sheit. Asinine, Fassile, Sheit. Asinine, Fassile, Sheit. Boom, boom. Asinine, Fassile, Sheit.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Boom, boom. Raffahti, Raffahti, Raffahti. Raffa-Groffa-Jadda, Raffa-Dum-Dum, Raffa-Dippi-Dum. Look at this, I love these man-made cliffs that you get here. Oh, see, we're on Brighton, no time at all here. I love these man-made concrete cliffs on the way into Brian Anyway, they're not man-made cliffs are they? God made the earth. And so God made everything. Yes. All man does is manipulate God's graft. Yes
Starting point is 00:13:59 Okay, fine. God's graft Graft Shut up! Wow. Booth Museum of Natural History. Right. Museum in Brighton and Hove. Okay and you know what he says? I know that sounds pretty dry on the face of it. Don't know if it's open at the moment so ring to check but there's some very creepy and weird taxidermy in there. Mmm... Mmm... So, Mark's not really working on it as executive producer. I'm telling you, he needs to work harder. Do you know why he's failing?
Starting point is 00:14:36 He hasn't listened to the source material to understand the baseline of what all audience... What do we want? Back alleys, mucky bins... We can find those by ourselves, can't we? Human wreckage. That's what we excel in. Human wreckage. We are, we are human wreckage. Do you want the third? Go on quickly because the train's coming in. This is good. Mechanical memories Brighton Museum. Oh we went there last time. Did we? Yeah Memmu and uh. Mechanical memories museum by the pier. Yeah well the aut automons and the pinball machines from the past and stuff.
Starting point is 00:15:05 Ah, can we go back? Yes, because we hardly spent any time there last time. Okay, cool. Well, that's it. He's reminded us. Maybe that's executive producer worthy. Well, I mean, he's recommended the one thing that A, we've already done, and B, we're probably going to do again anyway. So I don't know about that. Right, here we are in Brighton, everyone. Right, we're going to get through the booth and then we'll see how things go. Oh, there's quite a lot of police here. I dunno. Out of interest. Is there a reason
Starting point is 00:15:35 why should be... Well, I'm all about the hounds themselves. Oh wait there, I need to get my ticket out. Right, we're gonna come back to you in a little bit and then I'm gonna get my ticket out so I can scan out. See you in a bit. Right we've made it through the gates and now we're heading into Brighton itself. Anything you think you want to do you want to get a coffee and a Red Bull or some caffeine in you first don't you? I don't want to get it in the overpriced WH Smith in the station. There's the Budgins right there, you could try that. Shall we go down to the sea?
Starting point is 00:16:08 Well, the thing is, last time... I feel like going to the sea straight away. Yeah, because last time we took a hell of a long way to get there. We got there and it was kind of like time to go. Let's go straight there. Let's go straight down to the sea. Like a plan there, yeah? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:19 OK, cool. Let's go straight down to the sea, you and me. There's one other suggestion, I think. What, for Mark? Yeah think yeah here we go what gold is mark look I just don't think he understands that the the source material so as a result he's not giving us the right suggestions he thinks we're a good podcast oh apparently that mechanical memories Museum is near the naturist beach. There's a naturist beach?
Starting point is 00:16:49 Is that a new thing? No, I think they've been doing it here for years. Ghost Walk of the Lanes. No, we can't do that though. Is that where it happened to like 8? Our tickets back are at 8. At 7.30, yeah. On Wednesday. at 8. 7.30 yeah on Wednesday so yeah but look at least he's that shows a bit more
Starting point is 00:17:08 of an awareness of the content that he's working for. I think that lazily suggests he hasn't heard anything I've done in 10 years because I haven't done any ghost hunting material. Listen Mark if you are listening which you're not fuck you and your bad ideas all right you're the wrong you've you've let me down and you've made Eli look foolish which is awful you can't believe you do that to my good friend Eli Silverman and yeah top of the high road the brandy shipper or the Queen's Head what's a brandy shipper then? Is that a drink? I would say it's probably a boat that ships brandy. Oh yeah, no fair. Fair. Do you want to go budgins for your red bull? It's a drink
Starting point is 00:17:53 isn't it? It's a drink. Well that's what I was thinking. Because it's on the list. Whiskey, blender, wine and brandy shipper. So I'm going to look that up because I'm obsessed with alcoholic drinks. Yes. Well no, we're not having any alcoholic drinks while we're out today Not a drop will pass you I don't make sure you don't drink Even if you even if you beg me, I'm not gonna allow you. I'm gonna tell people in bars all the bars you try that You're an alky and you're not allowed it All right and you're not allowed it. Alright, if that helps me, if that helps me leave a more Pure Rile existence today, a healthier God-fearing existence.
Starting point is 00:18:31 Pure Rile? You're always Pure Rile. Not Pure Rile, Pure, Pure. I put the Pure in Pure Rile. You fucking do mate, you really do. And you put the Rile in Pure Rile. And between us... Yes, we are Cheap Show, well done. Pure and rile.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Now, I want to see what a Brandy Shipper is. I know you can't even look. Brandy Shipper. I'm a man who doesn't need facts, mate. Brandy, I know that. God, don't I know that. Why are you typing it in when you usually go, Hello Google, is it Brandy Shipper?
Starting point is 00:19:04 No, because I find it annoying. Shipper? I think the people who do that. No, because they find it annoying. I'm more interested in you going to Budging to get whatever, like your Red Bull or whatever. Doesn't want to tell me. Might be an old old old cake where that isn't used as much. It must be, yeah, it must be. Or it could be an allusion to something more sexual.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Hello darling, fancy a bloody Brandy Sipper. Shipper. I'll take it. Right. What? What? It says what is a Brandy Melville? So maybe that's an alternative name for a Brandy...
Starting point is 00:19:42 Maybe. It's something we can check up later and find out. No. No, but right now we don't know. Brandy Melville is an Italian fashion brand. What the fuck is going on with Google search? Do you know what I mean? That is just completely failed to tell me anything.
Starting point is 00:19:56 It's because it front loaded to AI which is like, oh, here's a bit of everything, guess. You go guess. Yeah. Listen, I'm going to stop recording for a bit and then we'll maybe come back when we're on the beach unless anything happens in between. Yeah, listen, I'm gonna stop recording for a bit. Okay. And then we'll maybe come back when we're on the beach unless anything happens in between. Yeah, sweet, all right. Well, here we are, the Cheap Show Office Day Out
Starting point is 00:20:12 to Brighton, part two, off we go. Let's see what a straight edge day is gonna turn out like. I'm sure it'll be quite the experience. Quite sober. Quite sober. We're gonna be intelligent and sober this week. So we'll see you a little bit in a bit. Little bit in a bit. Little bit in a bit. Little bit in a bit.
Starting point is 00:20:30 Right we're at the seafront now. Eli has been overwhelmed by the smell of a... Sea vag I call it. Sea vag or you know as most people call it the sea. It's the vag of the world. It's the gaping maw of clunge that embraces us all in Brighton. Yes, beautiful day. It is a bit blowy down here. It's a bit blowy. I love the way that the light plays across the waves. You get this band of lighter and darker.
Starting point is 00:20:58 The shadows of the clouds is what it is. And we can see the ruined pier.'s been it's become a symbol of Brighton yeah it's funny how it becomes symbolic after it burns down so yeah yeah quick so yeah we are betwixt the two piers to our left the main pier the grand pier and then to our right. Is the one who down Coors? I don't know, the burnt pier. It's not called the burnt pier. It was, that was why they'd bit their irony of it all, wasn't it? No, they did not call it the burnt pier.
Starting point is 00:21:32 It used to be called, this pier will burn down one day, Pier. It was not. And, er, yeah, that was it. And now, if you look out, you can see the huge wind farm that they've built in the last ten years or so. And I was saying to you, Paul, you can see that when you land in Heathrow you can actually see the wind farm. Oh it's windy hang on I've just got to do an adjustment I have adjusted. Do you want to go on the rollercoaster? Did we do that last time? No we should maybe go on a rollercoaster this time just the one ride mind but here we are on the seat front Yeah We can have a look on the pier anyway, see what is open
Starting point is 00:22:13 What do you think they're gonna have in the arcades these now? This era the same shit that we saw last time we were here a bunch of fucking shove eight neaf games a lot of IP heavy fucking slot machines and gambling bits and bobs, and like gun games. Oh then we like gun ones. You think House of the Dead? I don't know if that's even around anymore. Mate, there's always, there's always. I like to play a lot of House of the Dead, did you? Killing a lot of zombies, lots of gore. It was pretty fun. No, I never heard of it. There's a real coin eater or whatever they call them.
Starting point is 00:22:47 Oh yeah, it was built to eat coins. Built to eat coins. There's a massive Burger King at the seafront. Burger King seems to be winning the Burger King McDonald war in Brighton. I mean, have I seen a McDonald yet? Well, I've been here. Have I not? No. And no McDonald's. Oh, hang on.
Starting point is 00:23:07 I should really put my bag on properly when I walk. Put your bag on properly, mate. We went to a little Asian food store. I got an unsweetened oi oi oi oi oi Ramu Ramune Ramune for later. Yeah, and I did get this Carabao energy drink which is very very similar to Red Bull Yeah, but as I observed with the slight lemony tint to it. Well, and it's given us the idea we want to compare We want to compare red drinks, Red Bull drinks. Oh yeah, future on-brand, off-brand, on-brand, where we'll all taste and taste. Let's go down.
Starting point is 00:23:51 No, let's go up. What should we do? I don't know. We don't have an agenda for this week. It's just like, let's get to Brighton. Let's get to the pier. No, let's get down. Let's go down.
Starting point is 00:24:00 Let's go down. We want to find an alcove? There's one there isn't there? Where the wind is less windy. How about we find an alcove, do the thing you want to do, and then we'll have a sit on the beach for five minutes and then we'll explore the pier, and then we'll take it from there, how about that? It's a big lobster or crab something, whatever that is.
Starting point is 00:24:18 What do you think that is? It's a lobster. See, hey, why don't you eat some whelks or a... I'm going to man. I'm going to get some cockles or a... My partner was like, can you bring home some whelks? I can't do man. I'm going to get some cockles. My partner was like, can you bring home some whelks? And I was like, I'm not bringing home fishy whelks in my bag.
Starting point is 00:24:30 Fine. I might get some whelks though. I like some whelks. I've got some hot sauce on me as well. I can put some hot sauce on the whelks bro. Go and get some. It just means I can't kiss you for the rest of the day if you have some fishy. I've picked it up because I've watched too many American YouTubers. Yeah bro. Now I start calling people bros. What happened to the old phrase bra?
Starting point is 00:24:49 Bra. You know like, yo bra. That's too west coast. Is it? It's painful, it's cringe. Yeah. Don't say bra, say bra. Can't believe it bra.
Starting point is 00:24:57 Look at those gulls floating in the air. Just hovering. They're just waiting for stray chips. That's all they fucking need innit. Or a small, very small child that they can dive bump Look that's a DJ booth there at the end You can see because they've made the little kind of booth called tied it looks like a kind of Tiki. It's a Tiki face Isn't it? Oh, I don't see any like the mouth is where yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I kind of like it
Starting point is 00:25:20 It's kind of cool Is that the DJ booth thing Or is it just a bar? I think it's a bar. I don't know. I don't know, it could be a DJ booth. Of course, Brighton Beach famous for the Fatboy Slim parties. Yes. In terms of DJ culture.
Starting point is 00:25:35 But they don't do those more, because every time they do it some fucking fanny ruins it by killing eight people or something. Really? Is it not people dying? Well not like a lot of people die, but like there's always something that kicks off which ruins it for everyone else. Yeah, I mean to be honest I wouldn't much fancy being in a big, crushy crowd on a beach, you know what I mean? It just seems unpleasant. Especially if it's a fat boy fucking slim.
Starting point is 00:25:55 Yeah. I mean right here, right now, I'm not interested in it. You know what I mean? I gained some more respect for him when I heard about his story from the documentary about Woodstock 99 Okay, and he did the dance tent and he said it was fucking just miserable day. No just insane not miss just insane Like crazy insane someone drove a truck into the tent. There was like a hundred thousand people in this 110 like yeah There's a lot going on in there do you think? Storage and vendors on the street. The up-and-love about Brighton is the whole seafront is like Victorian and it's like old and labyrinthine and you know yeah
Starting point is 00:26:38 there's a steampunk, a faded steampunk vibe that is all unique to here you know. Which because Brighton's always prided itself on its kind of outsider identity, almost, its artistic, studenty... In recent years, but it always, it started off, the real boom here was of course as a resort for rich Victorians, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah. Which is the same for most places. It's either a place for rich people to go, or a place for poor people to go to get some fresh air and improve their lives.
Starting point is 00:27:08 That was always the thing isn't it? Live near the seafront and you can improve your stint for nevasma and tuberculosis. I used to think a sea vag would solve your ointment needs. I mean the jury's still out on that as far as I'm concerned. Whoever the seawater is good for you yeah well seavage release the cracking I like that we're walking past a carousel everybody I like going to the beach with you let's go to the beach today and see what we can see I've got flappy bits underneath my armpit and it is beginning to smell of cheese My aim for today is to
Starting point is 00:27:48 Not get pissed and go to toilet all the time and not get farted on by three Individual people at different various places in this area. See you're going back to the well again Paul We've got nothing today. It's gonna be one of the most boring episodes ever Hey when how dare you when we turn the microphone on, you know what we've got? You're not the biggest gift we've got mate. Us, me and you. This is what Cheap Show is, it's the gift of me and you. This could be called Wally Bing Bong's Fight Hour and providing it still starred me and you. It would be golden.
Starting point is 00:28:18 You nicked that from somewhere. No. Unconsciously. I haven't. Wally Bing Bong, yes you have. Well, you tell me where it is then and I'll do it. Okay, you'll admit that you nick stuff unconsciously? Well, it's not like unconsciously, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:28 But like, you know, you nick stuff all the time. Woah, Sea Vag just gave me a hoff. That's more like Sea Guff, Sea Queef. This is the artist quarter. We're in the right place then, because we're geniuses. Oh, I'm getting queefed out. Yeah. Mutiny on the honky.
Starting point is 00:28:48 Queef Elizabeth. Queef Elizabeth. King Pra- Owls. Prawn hole. King Prawn. Pring Prawn. Pring Prawn.
Starting point is 00:28:57 Shut up, I'm in a good mood. Anyway, if you're here on the beach, beware deep shelving, beware deep shelving beach, that means it drops off quite... What did you say? Billy Bing Bong? What did you say? Wally Bing Bong. Who is Wally Bing Bong? Beware of large breaking waves, beware seaside pier, beware of motorised craft, do not dive, do not swim in the boating lane, do not jump and do not use inflatables. Well that's the rules of the beachfront here in the artist quarter section.
Starting point is 00:29:26 I'm gonna finish this little bit of drink off and then I'm gonna pop it right in that recycling bin. Here we go, watch me while Eli fucking spends his time, unnecessary amount of time, trying to prove me wrong for stuff that doesn't fucking matter in the massive scheme of things. But by all means, mate, go for it. Who's Bing Bong?
Starting point is 00:29:41 Ha ha ha. Bing Bong was a character in Inside Out but Wally Bing Bong I'm not sure. Yeah look there's a massive donut sculpture. Or it could be a bumhole. Why is it two artists caught as signs I don't understand. It's just because it's it's the same side it it's just a different... It doesn't make any difference. Is the artist caught on both sides of the side? Yeah. Right, recycling. There's general waste, dog waste, jink cans, done it, sorted.
Starting point is 00:30:17 Right, I'm just looking at the sign. So we are here. Behind us is the Queen's Hotel. Madeira Drive, Sea Life Centre, Pier. Shall we just go to the pier? Or do you want to sit down and do something, you know, just chill for a bit, blah, blah, blah? Yes. Let's go and do this. I'm going to be straight edged.
Starting point is 00:30:33 I'm just going to let Eli enjoy himself today. I'm going to behave because I want to be sharp witted. Okay, in case anything happens. Well, no, I just want to prove to the world that every time we leave the house we don't necessarily use an excuse to get drunk and I would very much like this episode to prove that intellectually I'm at the top of my game when roaring street roaring oh fuck off. As soon as you said roaring there I know know it wasn't going to work. The sentence wasn't going to work. I don't even know why I said the word roaring. No one does.
Starting point is 00:31:06 No one does. No one does. We need some shelter. That's what we need. Shelter from this wind. Gimmi shelter, they say. Look, I didn't, it's so high up, I didn't see the pod on that tower. Oh, it's going up the pod.
Starting point is 00:31:18 The pod goes up and down. Should we do that? If it's not 25 quid a pop, yeah, maybe. But it's exactly 25 quid a pop. If that's 25 quid a pop, yeah maybe. But it's exactly 25 quid a pop. If that's 25 quid a pop, I'm going to fucking tell them they can leap off it. Alright, what we're talking about is this, what do they call that? The Brighton pod. The pod shaft. It's not the pod shaft.
Starting point is 00:31:36 It's a massive metal shaft that goes up into the air. With a capsule. With a pod around the side of it. A pod capsule. And it goes up and down I think. What noise does it make? It goes up and down I think. What noise does it make? It goes up and down I think. What noise does it make?
Starting point is 00:31:49 It goes up and down I think. What noise does it make? It goes up and down I think. What noise does it make? It goes up and down I think. What noise does it make? It goes up and down I think. What noise does it make? It goes up and down I think. What noise does it make? It goes up and down I think. What noise does it make? It goes up and down I think. What noise does it make? It goes up and down I think. What noise does it make? It goes up and down I think See what I mean? Where there's a... It's near the nudity beach you said right?
Starting point is 00:32:07 No no that's down there and that's near the Mechanical Museum. So is it near the cottaging area then? It is basically slap bang into the middle of heavy cottaging territory. Slap wang more like. Right let's find the place... I'll slap my way. Where? In private. Has the pod gone up or has it gotten closer? It feels like it's all of a sudden closer. Why isn't it moving mate? It's gotten closer to us, is it walking? It's like a tripod. It has gone up the shaft a little bit because I've noticed. Does it go up and down the shaft? I think it goes up and down the shaft all day. I don't think so, I think you just get a lift up there. That stays there, it doesn't go up and down. No, it goes up and down the shaft.
Starting point is 00:32:46 How do you know that? You've just assumed that, it doesn't. It's not going to move, it hasn't moved, it won't move. What's the point, you just go up the top of it and look out. I don't want to observe. What do you want to do, go up and down in a pod? Yeah, I want a pod to go, zhoi zhoi zhoi zhoi zhoi zhoi. I mean mambo, I mean mambo.
Starting point is 00:33:02 We should go and have a look at that after. Maybe we can go behind this, we can get shelter here behind here Went to boarding school I've got training in building cigarettes in the wind he went to boarding school. He's got training in He went to boarding school, he's got training in... Er... Skinning up, I once... I knew someone who skinned up on a fucking log flume. He went to a boys boarding school where he learnt the skills of being afraid of women and their vaginas. I'm not!
Starting point is 00:33:35 I'm not afraid of a vag. I'm not afraid of it. Why do you scream when you see one? I don't! Stop gaslighting me! I'm not gaslighting you. Look at those massive deck chairs! Right.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Oh, I'm having fun already, mate. All right, let's sit down. We're on the Brighton Beach, you can hear us. We're on the Pebble Beach and we're just to the... If you were looking out to sea, we're to the right of Brighton Pier. So we can see the pier stretched out horizontally in front of us now and it doesn't look like the rollercoaster is working but there's do you want to go on one of the rides at least? If we can. Did we do that last time?
Starting point is 00:34:12 I'm scared of the rollercoaster. We could do the ghost train. Is there a ghost train here? Yeah we could try and do the ghost train. Let's do that. Let's do the ghost train if it's working and it doesn't take you know cash because we don't have to get cash out. Right all right all good let's say this has been too long. Bye, see you in a bit, bye bye. ["The Star-Spangled Banner"] Yeah, don't feed the gulls. And yet they continue to feed the gulls. They're throwing ships in the air.
Starting point is 00:34:55 We chose some shelter. What is this we're sheltering behind? Where they hold some deck chairs. A deck chair holder. It's been nice, but then a... What appears to be a Chinese family, I don't want to make any assumptions. It's just an observation. It has come and the man of the Chinese family is throwing bits of bread it looks like to seagulls.
Starting point is 00:35:15 And there are, I'd say about 100 seagulls I can say. Oh they're gonna shit on us, they're gonna shit on us. Don't they, Alfred? Don't they get real fucking close? It's not even funny man, it's not even funny. It's not even funny, they're fucking real close man. They're fucking really hovering! They dive bomb! They really are hovering.
Starting point is 00:35:31 Some of them are fucking gagging to scat somewhere. It's gonna be us. I mean look, it's just the odds of one of them needing a shit at some point. The chances of one of them shitting on me. On to million to one. one oh shit here they come well the world's wicked so this is war the ghouls yes nice thank you see straight-edge Gannon oh my smarter funnier sharper happier Gannon the charade there's no charade how dare you there were not a single piece of a drug
Starting point is 00:36:02 or alcohol past my lips today I I promise you, scout on a dip dog. Are you billing up? I have already done. Are we really billing up? Hey, hey! Paul, you can cut this but I gave you a head of weed because yours, you pre-graded a whole bunch and then he was scared everybody that his pre-graded stuff,
Starting point is 00:36:26 which he took because he didn't want to get nicked for the full whack. I didn't. Would blow away and it probably would blow away which is why I gave him a piece of solid. I just wanted to look at it, I wanted to see what one looks like. That's what they used to call hash, isn't it? Solids. Yeah. Solids. Yeah, soap bar.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Little bit of plastic. Little bits of plastic in it. It's funny, the universal truths of being a stoner. At some point you always have a little bar of resin, horrible fucking nasty like tobacco black resin. I think they call it tack sometimes, that stuff. And then there's always be a bit of shopping bag in it. That is soap bar. Rocky they call it.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Yeah, Rocky. GLC did a song about it, called Soap Bar if you ever want to check that out. Hey, you see that video called Looking Chained did where they went to all the charity shops near where they live. Oh, because what's that convenience store that they've made famous? Daineswell Express, yeah, yeah, or Baineswell, Daineswell or Baineswell. Baineswell I believe, but yes, that's got its own like Instagram page I think, that shop now, yeahameswell or Baineswell. Baineswell I believe, but yes, that's got its own Instagram page I think, that shop now, yeah, of course. But no, they did a video where they went to all the
Starting point is 00:37:32 Newport, is that where they live, Newport? Yeah. They went to like eight, nine charity shops to try and find something. They are nicking our shit again, mate. I had a word with Eggsy about this actually. You did? I've said we're crossing the streams too much, don't let, we don't want to bring you down. Eggsy
Starting point is 00:37:49 did a congratulations video for our 10th year didn't he? He did. One of our earliest guests as well Eggsy. One day. He judged our rap battle which I lost. Yes and he judged your envision a while ago as well. I've got a fucking fatalism about losing rap battles and games of pool. Yesterday I was playing a game of... Let's have a rap game of pool Mr. Silverman. Like boxing chess, you go back do a little bar and then pop the black. Forsooth I see the pain of strike upon my knife upon the light. Boof! You'll go... Except... What? That was nice, tried, but that was not a rap and also boof is not the noise he makes.
Starting point is 00:38:28 It is when you punch someone with boxing gloves on. Oh, that boxing Shakespeare you're doing. Yeah, what did you say? I said rap pool. Yeah, but then you said there's another one, something boxing. Can I just have a go? What was the other one you said? Something boxing. Chess boxing. Oh, chess boxing. Can I just give it I have a go? What was the one you said? Something boxing? Chess boxing?
Starting point is 00:38:45 Oh, chess boxing! Can I just give it another attempt? King to Rock 4! Oof! Alright, that works, but now... My name is Eli and I've come to say... I'm gonna be winning the battle today! Alright, off the pink.
Starting point is 00:38:59 Better? Yeah, alright, yeah. Not as funny... I guess. Oh, there's another one who's gonna shit on me! Look at him! Look at him, he's hovering. Little white bastard. The family have left and so have most of the gulls. Yeah, good that.
Starting point is 00:39:10 They know where their bread is buttered. So look. In the air. In the air. Just chucking up bread in the air. Would you imagine a gull got a little butter knife out, psh, in midair, psh. They're very skilled. I don't think it's fucking butter bread midair
Starting point is 00:39:22 and then eat it though. Wouldn't that be cool though? Yeah. Like if one them fully pulled out a scruble scramble is like playing it in the air as well. I want to look at that big donut on that jetty. I'm gonna take a photo of it. Yeah we should poke our heads through or something and do that. Shall we go do that now? You ready to go? Yeah, we should actually. Because as much as I would like to stay here for a little bit longer. I like this. We can find another space up the fair.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Deck chair holder. Yeah. The deck chair holder. The deck chair holder. But we're still just, you know, east of Brighton Pier. So I haven't really decided what we're going to do for the majority of the day. Yeah, well, I know what I'm not doing. Smoking weed and drinking wood booze.
Starting point is 00:40:04 That ain't happening. Straight edge Ganon today. Oh, he's going to what I'm not doing. Smoking weed and drinking wood booze. That ain't happening. Straight-edge Ganon today. Oh, he's gonna be on top of it. Chest boxing. King tonight five. Booth wallop. Now, you're bleeding, you're bleeding. He's got you. The eye, the eye! Cut the eye!
Starting point is 00:40:20 I want you to go out there and ignore the pain. Seconds out. You did boxing, you got more experience with it than me. I did it for like seven months when I was in secondary school. You were okay at it, right? I enjoyed it for what it was back then, yes. You did it with the full face masks on when you sparred and stuff?
Starting point is 00:40:37 Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I wasn't, it was fine, but I wasn't really into it. It was that period where they allowed you to do different types of sport for PE. And because we had a leisure center near us, we could use their facilities. So it was like swimming, which I don't, I can't do swimming. You're not into swimming? I can't do it.
Starting point is 00:40:53 I've got a phobia of being in the water and not being able to touch the bottom with my feet. Oh my God, I didn't know it was that bad. Yeah. So you don't swim at all? No. Oh. I don't mind paddling pools and water slides and shit,
Starting point is 00:41:04 but if I can't touch the bottom, I panicking because basically but when I was at school Two naughty girls tried to drown me and held me under the water and they thought it was funny because one of them put one of those big weights in my Joking, but in my trunk. Wait, you know those big blocks at the swimming pool. Yeah, and then we're pushing me down Why? Cuz they were they thought it was funny. Who were they? They were just naughty girls. Were they sexually mature? I don't think so. Also I don't think that matters. I was like 10. I was just trying to imagine it. It helps.
Starting point is 00:41:33 11 or 12. Do you really want to think about it? Does it help you mate? Does it fucking help you? I'm sorry. I'm outrageous. You've ruined this now. I'm outrageous. I think it's time we leave because you've spoiled this now. You've made my story, my touching story of phobia. It's not touching, it's horrific mate. It's terrible. No, in all honesty Paul, that is really bad. Yeah. And what happened at the end, you were rescued? Yeah, the teacher had to drag me out and they got told off. The teacher got you, the teacher was there. They got told off, they tried to murder you. So you were actually under the water with a weight on you. And they had their feet on my shoulders holding me down. And this was the deep end?
Starting point is 00:42:11 Yeah. Right. What? Yeah, it was fucking madness. I was struggling to get up. And then I swallowed a bunch of water when I was under there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know that panic attack. So I didn't drown in the back of the thing, but it was horrible and then the teacher had to drag me out and they got a bollocking. And then I don't remember much, but I remember their parents got involved. It all got very nasty and my mum started kicking off. I think we should go to a swimming pool as a podcast and try and help you. You want to fucking drown me?
Starting point is 00:42:34 No, no, no, obviously not. What a horrible cunt. We could go in the shallow end and you could get used to it again. You know what I mean? I love swimming. See, when I go to the swimming pool pool I go to one end to hear stuff about like you know the meaning of life, what it is to be alive, the theology of existence. I can feel the pan coming but I don't know what it is.
Starting point is 00:42:54 But then you go to the other end of the swimming pool and it's all like fucking Love Island and it's all fucking you know Marvel movies. Honestly I don't know which is worse the deep end or the shallow end. Wow. Thank you very much. Straight edge gun and once again proving that a sharp mind creates sharp humor. That was really, I mean it was, the build up was better than the punch because the punch was terrible. It's called anti-comedy mate, it's the art of expectation and then the comedy being is that I take that away from you and leave you with nothing and that's the humor. Just before we go off and look and leave you with nothing and that's the humor.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Just before we go off and look at the... I want to look at the bumhole. The bumhole. I just want to read this joke to you and... Knock knock who's there? Paul, Paul Oates. Exactly, my career. I want to see, as we're talking about jokes and how that was a bad one.
Starting point is 00:43:38 I just want to see. What do you want to see? What do you want to see? Okay, now do you get this? Is this the joke that someone's come up with? Yes. Alright, okay. You're not, I don't think you will get it, but...
Starting point is 00:43:51 Go on. I went to university and I got a BA. Then I stayed on and I got another one. I wanted to study for one more, but they just wouldn't stop asking me questions. Like have you any wool? Do you get it? Bar bar black sheep. No! I thought the A-Team
Starting point is 00:44:13 be A-Barackers. Yeah. It's not that, it's not any of those. If you think about what's going on here, he gets one degree. Wait, is this a joke? Was this a fucking 3-2-1 rhythm? It's a joke, right?
Starting point is 00:44:25 Yeah. Think about it, though. He's workshopping it, to be fair. Perhaps he can come up with something here. Maybe he can streamline it. I think he's not. The punchline needs to be in there, but it's like an implied punchline.
Starting point is 00:44:37 So I went to university and got a BA. Then I stayed on and got another one. That's two. Two BAs. Which are? Baa-Baa. No, what? It is Baa-Baa,aa though isn't it? Baa Baa Baa. Yeah. It's like one of the black sheep. I thought the question was have you any wool? Yes. No yeah I see now but. Tell them that's the joke.
Starting point is 00:44:55 What is a BA? What type of? Bachelor of Honours. Yeah but what is it? It's a degree. Thank you. So two degrees. And I wanted to study for one more. Three degrees. But they wouldn't just stop asking me questions. They gave him the third degree. Thank you. So two degrees. And I wanted to study for one more. Three degrees. They just wouldn't stop asking me questions. They gave him the third degree, giving them the third degree. Have you heard that expression? You need to be more explicit with the use of the word degree. That's right. That's exactly what I think. It's all the way wrong way round. There's a seed of something there, isn't it? Yeah. Because you could do like, the first time I got a BA I really enjoyed it, all the staff were really great great The second time I was really there, you know when I got my second degree It was they were a little bit more stern by the time I got to my third degree All they did was ask me questions. They were giving me that or something like that. What about this? Fuck you. It's right
Starting point is 00:45:35 We're off. No, what about this? Right, very similar. Okay, so I got one BA It's okay, and then I got another BA in the next year second Degree I got and then I wanted another BA in the next year, a second degree I got and then I wanted to get a third one but they were grilling me, asking me all sorts of questions. I said don't give me the third degree I just want a third degree. Yeah no you need to use third degree as the last line don't you so you need to say blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and then when I did it for the for the when I did it for a third year. Can I just say?
Starting point is 00:46:06 They kept grilling me for questions and I said don't give me the third degree. Can we just say shit Joe, shit Joe, shit Joe, shit Joe Not even Eddie Braben could make that cunt work. Right let's get up because I want to look at the bummer and then we're going to go on the pier. So let's go look at the pier.
Starting point is 00:46:22 You know what, this episode is going to be a two-parter. I'm going to say it right now. How have we done an hour of waffle already? No, we haven't. We've done about 40 minutes and we've done nothing. But luckily- Those gulls must- Mate, people love our long walkabout episodes.
Starting point is 00:46:36 They do, they love them. There's a woman looking, putting her head in the bumhole. Lucky, look, they are. Are you gonna put your head in the bumhole? Of course I'm going to put my head in the bumhole. I'll take a photo of that. Of course you're gonna. We should get some like, in the bumhole. I'll take a photo of that. Of course you're gonna.
Starting point is 00:46:46 We should get some like fucking rock or something. Stick a rock. Stick a rock. Yeah we could, we weren't past a rock place. We should do all the really traditional things that you've never done in your whole life that are cliches. So what would that be? Going on the ghost ride, getting a rock.
Starting point is 00:46:59 Get some rock. Oh I'm going to eat some... Welks. I'm going to eat some welks. Get some welks. Or cockles. I like cockles better than welks. Get some whelks or cockles. I like cockles better than whelks. Get some cockles. Whelks and well tubular. Yeah and too vinegary. They're all vinegary. Yeah. Get some cockles. I want to see you eat some cockles. I will. Fucking £4.50. I'm sure
Starting point is 00:47:17 it's like a quid like two days ago. Oh mate don't. We're not gonna do that. Right come on let's get up. We've got the sun on our faces so let's make hay while the sun shines. See you in a bit, everyone. Right, so we're on the jetty now between the piers, and we went to see what we call the bumhole, but was actually, it's like a globe inverted within itself. It's a donut-shaped globe, a torus-shaped globe. A torus for tourists. A torus shaped globe. A Taurus for tourists.
Starting point is 00:47:45 A Taurus for tourists. A Taurus for tourists. And everyone's poking their head through. Those fucking four women who were there for like ages looking through every single angle, taking every picture. And it was like, do you know those other people trying to use it? And they didn't care, did they?
Starting point is 00:47:59 And then that fucking guy behind me with the fucking black shirt on, right? So I was taking a picture of like, through the hole, out of the jetty into the sea, artistic, right? He'd suck his head in. No, and when I was like doing it, he was right behind me, like,
Starting point is 00:48:12 if I can stand near, he was like this, looking over my shoulders, like that, and I was like, mate, I know there's like personal space, can I have some of mine back? Oh, he's right behind me again, I don't fucking like this. Well, at least no one's farted on you so far. No, at least that's a boon. And you're sober as a judge.
Starting point is 00:48:28 I'm as sober as a judge and the sharp wit is coming. Now there may be wind on this but only from the outside air upon my wind muff to protect the recording. Yes that's right, it really is lovely. It's a lovely, quite a stiff breeze I'd say. Like right up my arse that guy was when I was taking my picture. Seriously like to the point where I thought it was you and I was like oh Tony Ely was right behind me looking over my shoulder that's fine. It's a fucking stranger. Now Paul.
Starting point is 00:48:52 Couldn't wait 10 seconds. We've churned up these feelings of terror from your assault in the swimming pool and we're around the sea and those were a bunch of ladies and you is that what this anger is about? No, no, it's not about that. I have separate anger to tourists taking up precious photograph time while I, Paul Gannon, master of podcasting, has to wait. Let them know about what we've decided to do very soon. Oh we're gonna take our shoes and socks off and walk on them. We could do that right now if you wanted. I think we should do the pier first. Oh let's get the pier out the way. Let's see the pit as well.
Starting point is 00:49:24 Pishing on. Pishing on. Pish and Pish Poshable. So just a quick one then, I just want to talk about the bumhole. He's going to go Winkle and I'm going to maybe get some whelks or what? Donut groin it's called. Oh it is called donut groin. So please do not call it the world or whatever. It's called Donut Groin. There's no information. Is groin the thing or is groin this jetty? I think the groin is the jetty, yeah. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:53 I think I've heard that before. It's another word for jetty or groin. Oh, that's the first time I've heard the word groin used in that context. It's G-R-O-Y-N-E. Groin. Although you could argue that a donut groin is a lady's part. Right? You absolutely could. And I'm sure we're doughnut groin is a ladies part. You absolutely could
Starting point is 00:50:06 and I'm sure we're not the first to call attention to that. I put my jetty in a doughnut groin. Paul I was going to say as well, just do me a little thing, little exercise. Lick your lips. Nom nom nom. A little bit salty? No. From the sea breeze? No I generally don't sorry maybe I'll lick my lips later. Look at that old cinema. It's a casino now. It's art deco, beautiful art deco. It's alright listen windy let's head to the pier. See you in a bit. You know oh it's very windy maybe I should go on this side. You know, oh it's very windy, maybe I should go on this side. No it makes no difference, oh no a little bit of a difference, yeah a little bit less wind on this side. So Eli and I are on the pier and for the first time ever, certainly in my lifetime, we had
Starting point is 00:50:58 to pay for it. Let's go around the outside. Let's go around the outside. Sorry if it's too windy for you, but this is not too bad this side. But yeah, it was now £2 per person entry onto the pier, which is to pay for maintenance they say. They said there was a sign up saying we spend £1 million a year on maintenance. I can believe that totally.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Although once we bought the ticket we went through, there's absolutely no one there to like stop you or... Because it's, you know, they don't want to be nasty about it because it's like, it is, it always was a public, that was the point, you know, so I think they, and the fact that they feel like they need to justify it, obviously speaks to that, you know, speaks to that, they don't, they didn't want it, but you have, sometimes you just have to start charging for things to keep these places. No, I'm not against that. This is the thing, I'm not against that, but like, speaks to that they don't, they didn't want it. But you have, sometimes you just have to start charging for things to keep these places.
Starting point is 00:51:46 No, I'm not, I just think I'm not against that, but like, when you think to yourself... That's not a gougy price. No, no, £2 isn't. But you know, you'd think there'd be someone there just to kind of nod you through and go, alright, yeah, you bought your ticket great. Because anyone could have just walked through the gates, really. No, yeah, no one's here. No, there was a security guy, there was a security guy.
Starting point is 00:52:03 He was on his phone. He was on his phone. He was on his phone. Well, you can hear the air hockey there. We'll go through that on the way back. Well, we're gonna go up to the fairground bit first. Where are the bogs, do you remember? I think they're in there, aren't they? You know what, I'm getting a real flashback
Starting point is 00:52:16 to when we were in LA and I went to the toilets in the pier there. Oh yeah, but they were under the pier that time. Yeah, it is, you know what? It's like I said to you, didn't I, at the time. Being on the pier in Malibu. Was itibu? No not Malibu. Santa Monica fucking elf thank you. It is very similar to this it's just bigger and American vibes you know. Busier and less ornate and Victorian as well. I love all these
Starting point is 00:52:44 arches you can see the old Victorian arches stretching all the way down there. And we're going to go up that way aren't we for the Elephant's Tunnel? That's where the Elephant's Tunnel castle is. Elephant's Tunnel. Tunnel. One will also get the shape of it right eventually. Oh we might need to get a bus. Why is it a big long walk?
Starting point is 00:52:58 It could be like a 25 minute walk yeah. Well can we put it on the map after a bit later then make a decision? Yeah no but Mark's also also told me where the Elephant the elephant tunnel is because it's where he used to live. Yeah. It's one of these squares, these Grand Georgian squares up there basically. And it was not, it's Regency because it's where, do you know the elephant? This region used to live. That tunnel was built for him to go down onto the beach because that's what he wanted to do.
Starting point is 00:53:23 The prick. No, come on. to ride an elephant down onto the beach because that's what you wanted to do. The prick. No, come on. Look, if Ryan Gosling said I'm going to ride this elephant onto this beach or something, you'd be like, I want to ride that. I'd be like, no Ryan Gosling, no. Oh, it's really windy.
Starting point is 00:53:35 All right, let's carry on. What about if, what about William, Prince William? So I'm going to build a tunnel and I ride an exotic elephant. That bull fascist now fucking I'm just gonna say now world family burn them at the stake all of them including their children. Oh dear. Yeah the Russians did get it right back in the day didn't they when they lined up all the Russians and shot them dead. You're just posing to trying to be a peer left wing because you think it's cool.
Starting point is 00:54:07 Yeah, it is cool. We all know that. We all know. It is cool, actually. I think it's very cool to suggest the royal family and all their family lines of whatever, family tree, should be fucking slaughtered for the greater good. I am not a monarchist. I don't think they should be killed necessarily.
Starting point is 00:54:22 This is where you and me differ, isn't it? Because I think they should be shot one at a time. From the oldest to the youngest, to the youngest the most scared by the end. In their cribs. The babies in their cribs, right. I honestly don't know what you think the problem is with this. Oh, we were looking in this little jewellery box thing. Fake Fabergé eggs.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Oh, Fabergé. They look quite fancy, don't they? There's a guitar clock. Yeah. There's a little old style payphone clock. Look at those cards. Bicycle cards, unicorn. They're all very faded aren't they? Very very faded. That's because they probably charge fucking 20 quid and there's a pack of cards man. Oh look, there's Wolf holding carbon mouth. I hope it's not too windy. Is it too windy to do this? Well, let's stop recording. I'm just going to take a photo of this.
Starting point is 00:55:07 It's because we end up finding a place to stalk where there's a massive breeze. Yeah, come here though. And it stops. No, it's my... What? Your fear of thorns? I dropped my phone. Oh yeah. The gaps. I can't do it. I have my phone. You said this when we were in LA as well about the same thing.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Yeah, it does my head in. Look, it could so easily just... It would just go... ...and then down, splash. And all your porn's gone. All your photographs... ...gone. That's such a 2006 joke. Your phone is from 2006 though. You get your trainers from High Top or whatever.
Starting point is 00:55:40 Do you want to call it High Tech? I'll do that joke again. High Top. I don't know it's probably one of those yeah high top it's not even high tech it's a rip off of high it's a it's a budget high tech should I pay 25 pounds to have my psychic reading what do you think they would say fucking jump off the pia now mate save yourself 25 quid well it wouldn't save you it because you would have paid it at that point. Oh yeah. I'll figure it out. Do you see that? What? That big yellow building right at the far end. Yeah on the horizon. I believe it's a school or like an asylum or something. It's something crazy yeah. We'll have to check that out. Yeah. It's very important that you're
Starting point is 00:56:20 correct. It's a mad building though. Or it's some kind of rich man's folly or something like that. Yeah. It reminds me of the hotel from the puppet master films. Oh you're correct. It's a mad building though, or some kind of rich man's folly or something like that. Yeah. It reminds me of the hotel from the Puppet Master films. Oh you're right, or the hotel from the movie The Witches. Yeah, it's got that vibe, hasn't it? It has got that vibe. I use vibe too much and bro too much. Vibro. That's the vibro. Vibrator. Vibrator is what Eli's into at the moment. Disco ball. We're walking around the outside of the... Disco ball, back go ball. Everybody goes with the disco ball. Right. What?
Starting point is 00:56:51 Couldn't help himself. You know what? That upy downy, roundy, roundy, up and downy, it seems to be the only ride going. And it looks just like designed to make you vom. Yeah, that's the thing. I love fun thurs and roller coasters, but what I don't like are those kind of rides
Starting point is 00:57:03 where it's just tossing you around and around. It like well what's the joy, I get there is a thrill to that it's just not my thrill I like the idea of being on like a skillfully designed roller coaster track that takes you on a little adventure yeah I agree the roller coaster original and best of the fairground rides the same effect could be if I just like fight the strength of like just hold you in my arms and swing you around like a baby and throw you in the air and grab you. It's getting real strange all of a sudden. I would shoot ya.
Starting point is 00:57:29 I like those... Remember we watched that thing where it's like the roller coaster simulator but horror. Yes. And it's going through like this whole mad haunted house sort of snowy. Do that. That's crazy isn't it. Anyway we're here now, we're walking. There's people with deck chairs
Starting point is 00:57:46 just staring out onto the uh onto the ocean. It's a great pier this. It's a classic pier. So there aren't that many piers like this in the UK anymore. No. There's a little kind of train ride roller coaster for kids kind of thing. Low levels thrills. Going on our rides is easy, hang on. Check the individual price of the ride you want to go on, load an amount onto a pay card and then tap and go on the rides of your choosing or buy an unlimited rides wristband, ride all day as much as you like. We don't want to do a wristband. You know what it doesn't say on here though.
Starting point is 00:58:21 How much? How much in prices. But they vary. Yeah, of course. We just want to check out the Ghost Train. Is that a log flume they've got? Yes I think it is. Let's go on that. It's going on it. Can we? Let's scout the area, see what there is and then we'll see if there's worth. Do you want to go on the little submarine that goes up and down? Horatio's Bar, you sure you don't want to get like a swift half? No, no, straight edge mate. Gonna do this the
Starting point is 00:58:48 sober way. Oh they're getting ice creams these guys. You know what's missing? What? Loud drum and bass music, that's what I want to hear. Oh the ghost train's not working. Doesn't seem to be on. I don't know there's someone standing there, so let's go look over there. That's a model, that's a mannequin. I can see people going into the horror hotel. Really? Yeah. Alright, okay, let's have a look. Horror hotel.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Horror hotel. Is it a train or is it just a walkabout one? No it's a train one. You can see the track there. It dips in. We've got to go on it man. We've got to go on it. Yeah, we should go on one.
Starting point is 00:59:23 So £10 special. When you put £40 on your card Yeah, we should go on one. So, £10 special. When you put £40 on your card... Oh, you get free £10. Oh yeah, it is working, you're right. What's going to be outraged at the price of everything, everybody? I think I'm allowed to. Fiverr. £5 to go on a 30 second experience.
Starting point is 00:59:42 Are we going to go on one ride? Yeah, but we need to, didn't you want to do the log flume? What would you rather do ghost train or log flume? Don't make me choose. Because honestly babe. What would you rather do? Ghost is your thing isn't it? Yeah but I'm also of the opinion of like, log flume is wet. Let's see how much the log flume is. It usually gets splashed in the log flume. You're not forgetting splashed on? Yeah, I don't mind getting splashed on. I bet the log flume is £25. If it's more, we're going on the horror hotel.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Yeah, alright. I think the roller coaster has an inversion. That's insane, I didn't know that. Well, no, because this is a particular model well known. Oh really, it's like a standard format. I can't remember who the maker of it is of right now but like this was made in like the 70s I think or early 80s and it was popular to sell around the world because it had everything you wanted like drops and inversions and you know all the things
Starting point is 01:00:40 you needed but in a small foot space and easy to build and put together so like it was a great ride to sell to Funfers because it didn't take up that much floor space and you got a lot of ride for your book. Yeah, I'm just I'm amazed that there's a loop to loop on it. Yeah, it looks really it looks like a really good design. Out of action, you think they're maintaining it. Yeah, maybe. Maybe that's what that £2 we just spent goes towards maintaining roller coasters.
Starting point is 01:01:05 It's splashdown mountain. Let's go and check the price. Alright, I just want to take a picture of this, of the roller coaster. Be careful with your phone now. Stand a little bit. No, no, no, come to me. I am careful. Look, trust me, these slats are the perfect size to drop a phone. And because the law of averages is your phone will go down if you drop it. It just freaks me out, man. It freaks me out. There's another roller coaster, a kiddie one. That is what they call a wild mouse ride.
Starting point is 01:01:39 It's almost like a three dimensional wild mouse. But again, just sharp turns, not many drops. It's a wild mouse. Horror again, just sharp turns, not many drops. Oh, it's not a pretzel? It's a wild mouse. Horror House is a pretzel ride. These are theoretically called flat lot rides. Not because they're flat, but because they're built on a flat surface. Wild River. Maximum four riders per car. Well, we only got two riders.
Starting point is 01:02:02 But how much? We've got to be a metre tall. How high is that? Er, well no, we're more than a metre tall mate. I mean, maybe you... Yeah, you check. Good to... Oh, you're in the good to go zone! Only just though. Yeah, only just. What? Why am I so minute?
Starting point is 01:02:18 Yeah, but you're still... you're still less than 1.2 metres, which is down here. You don't have to worry about that fucking Tinder app noinder app no more. Not that I was on it anyway. So can you just pay per ride or do you have to buy a ticket first and then go on? You have to load the app or whatever don't you? Because. How much is it? Six quid. Oh it's one quid more. Yeah how about this? We'll do both. Yay! Because you know it's our birthday year I mean every year is a birthday year but it's our 10th anniversary right so we could do that and then that'll be our little reward. Okay I need to find a toilet but then let's let's load up a card and do that then yeah cool. Oh what's going on?
Starting point is 01:03:01 Oh something I thought we were gonna get told off then a stern woman came walking at me with a walkie talkie. They don't seem to mind at all. Well, I mean, do they know what we're doing? Well, you know what happened in Brent Cross. And that was just like some shots. That haunts me. That moment haunts me. I'm both embarrassed by myself and angry at him. Yeah. And then I felt like the eyes of Brent Cross on me.
Starting point is 01:03:24 I've been there a lot since and I have not seen that guard again. That's because I put a complaint in. Oh really? And I got that man fired. And I lined his family up and I shot them one by one, youngest last. Paul Gannon is undercover anti-monarchist Karen. In... Anti-monarchist Karen, what's he gonna do next? Maybe there's a toilet in here There's a place and there's a cafe so maybe there is a Toilet there must be right when you think about it central dome the big towards the end of the pier More tickets and prizes all that shit
Starting point is 01:04:03 So there's a little cafe either. There may be no toilets. You can win tickets by grabbing tickets to... You can spend tickets and... Yeah. But these you know, this is a... What they call crane... Crane game, yeah. It's complete, it's a lottery, it's like a slot machine. Because they're programmed to not always clasp as much on certain... They fucking dodge, just don't do it. They exist because people think the odds are on their favor when they use them. Is that a toilet? No, that's just a door. But it seems particularly low to try and fool people that they can gain a skill, you know? It's particularly exploitative because it's like, if you keep doing this you'll get better at it. Yeah, but there's also that that one country goes oh don't worry I know how to do these you watch me
Starting point is 01:04:48 and then tries 20 times before asking for a mate for more money to try it one more time. Yeah exactly so it's gambling. Yeah so there's no toilet in there there must be one of the main yeah let's go to the main block. Let's do that here the gents gents. Oh there you go let's do that then well rather you do that because I'm straight edge and I'm not talking no wee-wees or nothing. He's talking about the king, he has to hold his wee-wee. Right hang on. So here's all the rights, Horror Hotel, £5 per person, Wild River £6 per person. So we will just buy enough money.
Starting point is 01:05:18 £22 in total. Yeah let's just put 22 quid on a card and then say give us our cheap thrills and don't worry Listen if we can we'll have our recording going and you'll hear every moment of our thrilling adventure Well, I'm glad because I like funfairs and stuff. I like funfairs. Remember we went to Disneyland Which if you're a patreon support you can watch that patreon exclusive video of me and Eli at Disneyland But yeah, I fucking love it right you go toilet now and I'll stop recording now Yeah, I fucking love it. Right, you go toilet now and I'll stop recording now. And no, I won't be filming it as much as I would really like to, but we're in a public place and if I take a recorder into the toilets, there's a very good chance I'll get tossed off.
Starting point is 01:05:54 And not in the good way, right readers? Wink, wink. Oh god. So we just went to buy tickets to go on a few rides, well two rides, however once we went to pay for them, our timing was off, they closed the ride due to adverse windy conditions. How is it? Because of the wind? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:06:16 Is that what they said? A lot of the rides, I mean maybe that's why the roller coasters closed and the mouts, because there's too much wind and I don't know, maybe you'll fall off. Well you said that could have been from the 1970s, that roller coaster. I mean maybe, I don't know. So you know, the maintenance. The design said that could have been from the 1970s, that roller coaster. I mean, maybe, I don't know. So, you know, the maintenance... The designers, what I'm saying is the designs from back then. I'm so impressed with that roller coaster.
Starting point is 01:06:31 I just get the feeling it'd be really janky and, like, you know what I mean, hurty. Yeah. Rattly is the word. Rattly. But no, the one that they shut is the log flue. Which is what we wanted to go on and get all splishy splashy. Oh, oh well. But, let's just say they open it later and we can put money on the card because we bought a little card.
Starting point is 01:06:48 A Brighton Palace Pier card. And they put a tenner on it. We put a tenner on because we are going on the horror hotel. This rechargeable card can be used to pay for fairground rides. Blah blah blah blah blah. It may not be redeemed for cash. So you can't say only went on one ride can I have a fiver back please. No no, no So yeah, we're going to sneak this on so you can hear every moment of our time at the horror hotel. Let's go on, we're joining the queue.
Starting point is 01:07:27 And this aims to be a classic haunted house ride. Classic. Why did you go the long way, mate? Did someone say hello to Frank? Fair enough then. Eli went the other way so he could say hello to Frankenstein. I hope this doesn't get closed because of windy conditions. They can't close this because of windy conditions. You never know mate. The whole thing's blowing over. The skeletons are falling out of their baskets.
Starting point is 01:07:54 So yeah we're going to sneak you guys on so you can hear every frightening sound, what we experience on this ride. This is Horror Hotel on Brighton Pier. A classic dark ride pretzel. Is it pretzel. Yeah, I mean... Is it pretzel? Does that have... Is it going to go up and down you think?
Starting point is 01:08:09 Yeah, it has a little drop there, it's got two levels to it. Do you think there'll be jump scares? There'll be... Here's what I'm guaranteeing. There will be a moment where you go down a tunnel that rotates so it looks like you're going upside down. There'll be a skeleton on a bike, that's what I reckon will be there as well. I think there will be a Dracula and a Frankenstein yeah well there's Frankies
Starting point is 01:08:27 guarding the kit. Something will come out of a coffin at some point I tell you what we could be in this queue for a little while judging by the speed of its movement so we're going to come back to you just before we get on the ride all right okay in a bit I'm gonna stop saying see in a bit you really do it's just the way I sign off we do walk about stuff. You stop saying oh dear so much. Oh dear. We're just recording now, we're gonna get on maybe in the next batch shush shush shush. We're going on a spooky ghost adventure come and join us. Horror hotel. You'll never check out. Yeah, no check in but you never check out. Like the hotel California. That and the horror hotel.
Starting point is 01:09:03 Will you be staying with us forever. No, just one night, thanks. Well, the Shining set in the hotel, isn't it? Yeah. Well observed. It's very similar to some extent to the ghost house near me growing up. Really? Which is called the Terror House or something. In New Brighton, is it?
Starting point is 01:09:24 Yeah. But instead of it having two levels up, it is called the Terror House or something. In New Brighton, is it? Yeah. But instead of having two levels up, it was two levels that went down, so it went below the building, it went below it and into the catacombs that were naturally there already built into the... Oh, that's cool, isn't it? That's pretty nice. But I can barely remember anything about the Ghost Train other than that.
Starting point is 01:09:42 You've been clocked recording, by the way. I like. than that. You've been clocked recording by the way. I've hit you in a bag now. I've hit alright in the bag? We're still waiting to go in, bear with us, hang on. Right, we're nearly on now, we're at the front. There we go, thank you very much. Right, you've got to put the seatbelt on, where is it? There.

Starting point is 01:14:33 Oh, that could be anyone. I like this. Oh, would you give it up again a bit? Oh! Oh! I think that's it. Oh, yeah, we're going to come out. Give the junk to him.

Starting point is 01:15:13 Is everything there still? Right. Top fun. I mean cheap and shonky but top fun. A classic goat's train. Pretzel. And actually you know not as manky as I thought it was going to be. No. There's some nice set design in there. I liked it yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:33 It was very traditional but. Things pop up out of the dark. Skeleton overhead. Nice use of black light. Yep. Couple of dips and twists. Very traditional. And you know what it had that little rollercoaster element which I
Starting point is 01:15:45 appreciate it as well yeah so there we are not bad at all not bad at all five pounds no no it's not worth five pounds at all however I will say this oh it's gonna get windy for Tim around the corner uh what was I gonna say what were you gonna say going to say? You will say it. Oh it's gone. About the ghost ride? Oh no it was fun, classic, yeah, good. Oh yeah, that's the thing I was going to say. Whether or not you listening to that just then everyone, it made any fucking sense,
Starting point is 01:16:16 it wasn't just a cacophony of noise, I won't know until I hear it back in the edit. But hopefully you got a gist of some of the experiences and fright we had. I'm glad we did that Paul. It's a shame we couldn't get on the... Wild log. On the wild... What's it called? Hot log. Wild log.
Starting point is 01:16:30 The hot log. The hot log backup machine. Oh, there's a man surfing and there's another one canoeing. Look at that bugger in the blue. He's surfing over there. He's surfing here. Yeah. Oh, he must like doing that. I guess you don't get a great break here here usually but it is a windy day in the so There is a there is some breakers coming in I guess he's just sitting there waiting for what should we do now then gov
Starting point is 01:16:51 We need to paddle in the sea. Oh, yeah Well, tell you what, can I go for a wee and then we're good to walk along the beach a bit And we'll see if we can get up to the elephant tunnel. Can we walk through the arcades on the way back as well? I want to have a look in the arcades. Maybe I'll record that a little bit. We'll see, but right now, peepee time please. Peepee time please. Peepee time please. Oh, I bet they haven't opened up that log ride.
Starting point is 01:17:11 I want to go on it. I feel angry now. I can't get on it. But it's not moving at all still. It's too windy. Yeah, too windy. All right, see you in a while, everybody. Catch you on the flip side, Daddy-o. Right mate, just as we're going into this I'd like you to on record now apologise to me and our audience for your error.
Starting point is 01:18:05 Pod go up and down everybody. Pod go up and down. The shaft with the pod, or as Eli likes to say, observation booth, doors go up and down the shaft. Are we gonna go on it then? No, I bet it's 50 quid for the privilege. Oh come on, we're only here, please.
Starting point is 01:18:21 I fucking have you. I enjoyed the ghost train though, we both meant it. We both enjoyed the ghost train though, we both mentioned it. Low key frills though. Right, fucking hell. Right we're in the arcade. That sweaty kind of weird. It's carpety, dusty almost. I mean this carpet's probably got enough DNA in it to repopulate the planet. But that's just so nostalgic for me, the smell it's like. I know what I'm saying. The smell as we stepped into this arcade is just... So familiar.
Starting point is 01:18:50 It's brought me back. And they kind of smell the same all over the world, you know that as well. It's carpet and glass and you know, it's the things that they're made of. Because I went to one in LA when I was on my own that time last year. We went into something similar to this. It was like, wow, it smells like I'm in Blackpool. Yeah, yeah. We're in front of Sega Rambo. Any knowledge about this?
Starting point is 01:19:06 It's a shooty gun game. Oh, yeah. A light gun game, basically. Shooty gun game. Does it go rattle, rattle, rattle, rattle? Probably. That's quite impressive. Big gun. Rambo gun.
Starting point is 01:19:16 But I've seen people play it. It's basically a house of the dead. It's like you say it's a money eater. And so is this a bit... Terminator Salvation. Terminator Salvation. Does anyone, has anyone into these anymore? Like arcade games? Yeah. I guess so. Otherwise they wouldn't still have them right? They're like this. Dance, Dance, Dance, Revolution or Dance, Dance, Dance, Revolution. People go mad on that. Yeah. You're gonna take a picture of this Playhouse of the Stars. Little pocket buckets.
Starting point is 01:19:50 I like the fact that they still even have that secluded area where you can pray like the slot machines and only 18s or more are allowed to go in. And it's full of, I'll be honest with you, ropey looking fellas. The Dr. No pinball machine. Oh, I want one of them. Look at the Sriracha thing. Oh, it's a plush Sriracha bottle. Oh, I... Are you going to have a go? Well, they're called Kawaii, aren't they? There's a style of it.
Starting point is 01:20:17 Where it's like you put a cute face on one. On an object. They've got brown sauce, Kawaii Bruin, brown sauce, mustard. I don't have any of them. Sriracha, I'd like the Sriracha to be my favourite though. Do you think we'll be able to win one? No, absolutely not.
Starting point is 01:20:31 What I'm hoping is that there's probably a store on the Seafront that sells it for a tenner. In which case, they've got Video Poker here. Joker Poker. Why isn't that in the 18s? Probably because the, it says 18 or over, you must be able to play it. It's Gambit, man. But maybe the limit isn't as high as the ones in that private room.
Starting point is 01:20:49 For a Royal Flush it pays out £5. Do you know how often that fucking happens? No. In the room next door it says it's a £500 play out. It's to do with the jackpot size, isn't it? I think you have to keep the kids away from this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's mostly just like, jukebox, jackbox, jack. There's one guitar. What's the fucking word I'm looking for?
Starting point is 01:21:11 Jack, boss. Jackpot machines. Jackpot machines, thank you, fuck me. Sorry, say again. Hi guys, so long as you're not recording, that'll be fine, okay? This is only audio, not video, is that alright? That's perfectly fine.
Starting point is 01:21:25 Beautiful. Alright, cheers, man. Thank you. It's a whole thing, innit? It's a whole thing about it. As long as you can't film any dodgy stuff we're doing in here, you're alright to do what you're doing in here. It's just audio, which is cool. It was very nice. Oh yeah, no, I'm not complaining. Look, I love the ornate ironwork at the inside of this.
Starting point is 01:21:42 Oh, you have to get a picture of that as well, then. Oh, there's a wall of light where you react and you gotta hit stuff. Is that like a dance thing? No it's like they light up you gotta bop them out like whack-a-mole. What's the point of having a go? Yeah. We'll have a little look at that. He's gonna get his fucking groove on.
Starting point is 01:21:56 So Paul I was gonna say there's one Guitar Hero machine but I remember coming here like over 10 years ago and it was all guitar hero machines like every single one. That died out quick. Yeah. Oh that goodspin is like the thing from Price is Right. A wheel of fortune. No, you know, oh yeah I guess a little bit like that but it's definitely more model on the Price is Right final round. Yeah because you're on the outside edge of the wheel.
Starting point is 01:22:19 Wheel spinning it. Right this guy's going to do it. He's going to go on the speed of light. He's going to fucking do it. It's a dual. Walking together. A couple playing together. it. It's a walking down. A couple playing together. I just want to see what you do. You tap the lights.
Starting point is 01:22:29 Yeah, I'd say it's like whack-a-mole. Challenge whack-a-mole, see? She's doing it as quick as she can and he's doing it. It's whack-a-mole. Is that the only game? That's the whole game? Yeah, and who gets the most wins. That's pretty good. She's winning by the way. She looks pretty tasty.
Starting point is 01:22:45 I mean, mate, how dare you? How reductive. Tasty at speed of light game. Sexist Eli once again rearing his ugly bot mottled haired head. See here's the problem with all these fucking games where you win weird shit like this. I just would rather spend the money on having that weird shit. I mean, at the end of the day, anyone winning those earbuds is not going to win earbuds really.
Starting point is 01:23:16 They'll be thrown out by the end of the day. They'll be very cheap Chinese... Cheap Chinese rubbish ones. Or maybe they're the best ones ever and we're just being small-minded. No, they'll be alright. They'll probably work for a few minutes. You could win a Smart-Off. Zombie bowling. I guess it's just a set of pins there's on me.
Starting point is 01:23:33 There's quite a variety of amusements here. Yeah, I guess. I've never been won over by these places, that's the thing, just personally speaking. There's a certain charm to the Victoriana of it all. No there's a charm to it and it's kind of funny that you know 30 years on from when I was a kid 40 years on these things don't really look all that different apart from the bells and whistles and the smaller details. Look this is a sort of bowling game but it's got like 3, that's a Pepper's Ghost effect, isn't it? With fish and it's very much like Finding Nemo style fish.
Starting point is 01:24:10 It's still the same old game. That's what I'm saying, it's the same old game still. It's just they've got a lick of paint where it makes them look all modern or fun. This is ridiculous. It's called Pac-Man but it's a... Shoveapney. It's a Shoveapney Pac-Man. What's Pac-Man about it?
Starting point is 01:24:22 Nothing. The licensing which draws people to it like it drew us to it. I guess. I don't know what that swirly thing is, Pac-Man swirl. I presume you drop a ball down it and you've got to get it in one of those holes for prizes. Oh, right. But again... Oh, minions.
Starting point is 01:24:37 They have to be here. To be fair, minions aren't as prolific as they were last time we came here. Because they were fucking everywhere last time. They calmed down. It's good to see these trends calming down. And then you get more variety, you know what I mean? I can... I have a place for minions. For me, there's a place for Guitar Hero. There's a place for Zombie Bowling.
Starting point is 01:24:55 And there's a place for Lucky Ducks. Lucky Duck! Those ducks look very, very... I just want one of these for prosperity. It's a way you put all your change. A little paper pot. We can take those for free? Yeah, because you're meant to put them in and then get all your change so you can go in...
Starting point is 01:25:13 These are ice cream pots. I mean, basically, yeah. These grubby ducks. They are dirty, grubby, lucky ducks. They look so grubby. They are mucky, lucky ducks. Is what they are. They certainly are.
Starting point is 01:25:23 Take a picture of those mucky ducks. I am. Who is? I what they are. They certainly are. Take a picture of those Mucky Ducks. I am. Who is? I am into that. Grubby Ducks. And look, it looks like they're going, oh feed me cum. Oh, we're cum ducks.
Starting point is 01:25:33 Oh, we're so filthy. Oh, oh, quack quack. Yucky Lucky Mucky Ducks is what they are. It's quite a lot of shove apenny machines. Is that what these, no the kids don't call them shove apenny machines though, right? They must have some kids... Coin shove, coin... Penny shove.
Starting point is 01:25:50 I'm alright, I've already had one. Really? Because we know what happened last time. Last time I'd had like three coffees and a pint by that point. And I'm straight edged today. Have you been drinking? No, not a single thing. You didn't sneak a little flask into the ghost ride.
Starting point is 01:26:04 No, oh watch out mate. You didn't sneak a little flask into the ghost ride? Nope. Oh, watch out mate. You got in the way of that hippie. You did, you got in his way. Right, now I need to... Sorry, excuse us. Sorry. Thank you. Ding ding ding ding ding, people paying out, people paying out. Right, and we're out the front.
Starting point is 01:26:25 Well, that was the glorious arcade experience. Pod go up. Pod go up, see pod go up. Pod go up, pod go down. And pod go then come down, pod go up. Pod go down. But I don't see pod go down. Is it because I'm bad?
Starting point is 01:26:40 You're pod blind. You're down blind. You don't see down or up. You only see stasis. Pod go down. You don't see down or up. You only see stasis. Pod go down. Pod go down, pod go up. Mate. We're gonna walk along the beach now
Starting point is 01:26:54 with our socks and shoes off and get wet and soggy. All right, that's what we're gonna do next then. Do you wanna try and get something to eat maybe soon? Should we aim for food as well? What would you want? I don't know, I don't really have a plan. Okay. So I'm happy to go with whatever.
Starting point is 01:27:07 You could get like banger and chips, that's traditional, something like that. Yeah, maybe. Maybe just a banger and chips. Well there's lots of places that do like fry ups, like greasy spoons and that sort of thing. I don't know about a greasy spoon, I'm thinking burger or I'm thinking, you know like... Yeah, but that greasy spoon will do you a burger, won't it? And you'd do you a nice coffee like you like. Yeah, but I also do me like fucking...
Starting point is 01:27:26 Salmonella. Bellyache, yeah. I like the shit. I don't want this episode to go from, oh, last time Paul had to go wee wee all the time. And then now Paul's got brown cake in his kegs because he couldn't hold his scat in. It will never be that bad.
Starting point is 01:27:41 It will never be that bad. You never know. Right, I'm turning, you keep the pots. OK. In case we need to... Oh, those are nice. Brighton Beach. Brighton Palace Pier.
Starting point is 01:27:51 It's the Palace Pier, that's what it is. This is what we're on, Palace Pier. Right, we'll see you on the beach. Boy howdy, the wind's coming down, but we are barefoot on the beach. What, ow, what? You just don't walk fast, do you? You walk slow and then it's fine, ow. I've got a fucking pebble right betwe-
Starting point is 01:28:17 Oh, I've got fag ash between, cigarette between me toes. Oh God, you're not wrong, there could be fucking glass and all sorts, you don't know. Oh, there's a sock and all. Now here's the wet bit. This is where it gets fine now, it's finer. Yeah. Oh god. I hope this wind's not too much of a fucking annoyance for you to listen to, because we're
Starting point is 01:28:40 going to walk now towards the water. Ahhhh! Ahhhh! Oww! This is ow! Yeah, maybe I should have kept my shoes and socks on a bit longer. Ohhhh! It's too late now. It's too late now. We're in. We're in like flint.
Starting point is 01:29:01 We made a schoolboy error. Schoolboy error. Took our shoes and socks off too high up the beach. And it has literally been like Flynn. We made a schoolboy error and took our shoes and socks off too high up the beach and it's literally been like torture on the pebbles, the sharp pebbles. We could have cut our feet open and got tipped. I know, we don't know what we've got in store, do we? But it's getting finer, the stones are getting finer and we're going to dip our toes into the cold.
Starting point is 01:29:24 What sea is this? What sea? channel yeah oh yeah the channel here we go ow ow fucking ow ow you're fucking ow fucking ow I know it really is hurting my feet yeah we're nearly's alright, we're almost there. We're nearly there. Here we go. I somehow managed to get a pair of... Do you know what we needed? Jelly shoes. Jelly shoes. Flip flops.
Starting point is 01:29:57 Or flip flops or anything that's just off our fucking feet. All the waves are coming in now. Here we go. Here we go, here we go. I will be putting my shoes on the instant I come out of the water. Here we go, we're paddling. Oh, they go up quite high anyway. Oh, I don't complain about fucking wet hems like you do,
Starting point is 01:30:20 you big baby. Eli Wet Hems, Hems Silverman. Here we go. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Starting point is 01:30:42 oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, not that cold. No, it's not that cold, but it's bracing. It takes some getting into, yeah. That's going to be nice, it'll be nice to swim. But it's just not, it's not, the wind makes it so much chillier, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. That's actually quite nice. It's actually quite nice.
Starting point is 01:30:55 Yeah. But we'll get our shoes on sooner. Yeah. Oh, I wish this was a sandy beach. No, I think people have said that over the years or not down here. No, we can see, we've got the palace pier to our right and then beyond that you can see the ghost pier, the burnt down pier. It's a lovely day. It is quite lovely. It's very windy though.
Starting point is 01:31:17 It's not like super hot. It's not super hot at all but it's not cold? No. It's quite nice. I just wish I wasn't in so much foot pain. Just get your shoes on, come on. Yeah. We made a mistake there. We've done a paddle. That's it now. We've done a paddle. I'm getting out now. I wish I had flip-flaps. I can't even run away.
Starting point is 01:31:43 I'm crawling. I'm gonna have to... I I'm crawling. I'm gonna have I'm gonna crawl I'm gonna crawl I'm done. I'm far away All right, well that was fun that was fun wasn't it Eli? Eli's having problems himself. Ow! Oh no. Okay. Okay. Right, sit down, put our shoes and socks on now.
Starting point is 01:32:16 We've had fun. We've had fun. You definitely, we lesson learned. That lady's dog is watching her swim. It's such a beautiful, looks like a border collie cross or something Really lovely dog. I think he's been for a paddle, but he's not getting all the way in he's watching his his master that yeah Right, okay, right. Well, we're gonna check. Oh, yeah, we saw something called the Volks electric train So we're gonna look into the prices and that and where it goes and because the elephant tunnel Which I do want to visit the end of is up that way and the train seems to be going that way but
Starting point is 01:32:50 is it most of those sort of novelty trains they're usually oh look the dog's going in. He's going in. He's fancying it. He fancies it. I think it's a girl dog. Yeah. And she's like, oh, you can come in then. Right, can we cut this now? Can I stop? What did you want to say about the thing? Oh, yeah. Quick, it's windy. It might, usually they're on a circuit and they come back to the beginning, don't they?
Starting point is 01:33:17 We'll have to check, but... I'm sorry if this is too windy. We're cutting now and going to some less windy footage in a moment. Thank you. We love you. Right, update. We timed that quite nicely. We've got a couple of things to do. We've got a couple of things to do. We've in a moment. Thank you, we love you. Right, update, we timed that quite nicely. We are on the Vaux electric railway. The oldest running electric railroad in the world. It is. Magnus Vaux was the man
Starting point is 01:33:40 who made it and I said earlier that posh Victorian people used to come to Brighton. It's not true at all It said by 1883 Brighton was had flocks of Working-class people. Yeah, it's been working class. It's working class seaside resort. Yeah This is fucking excellent So we just on a whim for let's try this out. I'm having so much fun today It's weird having a proper day out of the beach this time we? I can't believe I've come to Brighton so many times countless times over the years and I literally have never done
Starting point is 01:34:10 this and it's not prohibitively expensive I love this. It's just on the six quid for a return trip which is all the way up and all the way back. We're looking out the back we've got back seats so we're looking out the back of this train. I love these arches up here. Looks like a homeless encampment up there. It probably is that's why yeah. This is fantastic. What a fantastic little train this is. It's got a little horn. This is the third type of train we've been on today. Oh I've been on a tube London tube Main line down to Brian and then the old electric rail in the world and also the ghost train on the ghost train
Starting point is 01:34:52 You know, it's all about all about the trains It's an outsider art along the way I'm filming a bit of this on my phone just for the hell of it. Turn around. Can you hear the 2-2? Yeah. This is amazing. I'm just filming Eli as he enjoys himself. I wish I'd got a map of the route. I should have got a map maybe so we know where we are.
Starting point is 01:35:33 This is safe mate the terrace. Well we're going to get to Halfway Station, it is halfway. We haven't reached that. Black Rock was the final destination. That's right, yeah. Aquarium Station is the start because I think that's probably where the Brighton Aquarium used to be. Is this the area where they used to have the Fatboy Slim concerts? It's this area of the beach.
Starting point is 01:35:52 I'm not sure, but possibly, yes. We're going up towards Kemptown. Brighton has Hove to the... East. Yeah, no, to the west. And Kemptown to the east east that's south yeah yeah that's north so that's east no never eat shredded I'm looking at the wrong direction yeah yeah okay so Kemptown is to well there's a swimming pool there wow the
Starting point is 01:36:18 natural edge it's a swimming pool where people the serious swim as it looks like no messing about no messing about there You can get swim coaching here. This is cool. This is honestly, I love, I'm going to turn into one of those railway boars, I know. Well there's a little Lido by where I live in Harrow and they have something like this but it's a tiny little trick that you straddle like a bench and it goes up and down. We've never gone like that either. We should do that. That might be a Patreon episode frankly. Oh there's a volleyball court and here we go. This goes on forever all of this old Victorian pleasure sort of dome stuff you know. I love it. Metalwork. It's all ruined and dilapidated now. Are they trying to fix any of this up or they're just trying to preserve what's left?
Starting point is 01:37:01 They should fix it up. That little clock tower area here is really interesting. It's like an observation point on the edge of the cliff. Hello man, who waves? The man wave. He waved at me and I thought I'd waved him back as a gesture of solidarity and love. You don't wave unless you want to get waved back. It's called Yellow. Halfway station we're at now. So we've got a yellow token to proceed, that's not us though. And that was called Yellow Wave. Did you see it? It said Yellow Wave on the side of that.
Starting point is 01:37:30 Jungle Rum. Wrong. Rumble. Jungle Rumble Adventure. So this is the halfway point. This is where we could get out if we wanted to just do half route and then walk back. But we're going all the way because on Cheap Show we go all the way all the time. We're going all the way to Black Rock yeah which is by the marina yeah and like I said you don't want to go on the marina.
Starting point is 01:37:49 Can we change? No we stay on this this is the other one coming back some people are getting on the train yeah not us we're going off we're going all the way just like that band Sly Fox we're going all the way. Fox, we're going got the wheel. Yeah. You've got a driver's sort of space on both ends, I guess. Yeah, I could pretend to drive it right now with the wheel, but I will not touch it. It looks like they're building another crazy golf course. Oh, we're in some kind of shed now.
Starting point is 01:38:39 We're going through a shed. Oh, look, there's other carriages, spare carriages from the railway. It's a whole little railway, isn't it? It is, no it's a full railway. Oh look at this stuff going to the side of it. I mean yeah, Duke's Mound is where we are now. Look at this side, it's all very nice isn't it? You can smell burning wood. It has got shades of like Santa Monica Pier and the beach and that area. I mean, you know, Seaside Coastal Resort are all going to be so much of a muchness. But there is a vibe to Brighton which does fit somewhat well with LA's vibe.
Starting point is 01:39:15 Yes, I know what you mean. With the way it's like one long beach, but along those beaches there are partitions where segments are known like Muscle Beach or Venice and all these kind of things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's segmented. Segmented, now as we travel away, are we about a mile away from the pier now do you think? Must be about that. Coming up for, yeah. Like, Jukes Mound we've just passed. Jukes Mound is a... Is it what?
Starting point is 01:39:38 What is Jukes Mound? Where's the Mound? Look at all of these old arches. Victorian arches just are unused now. I'm going to put a ban on you saying the word arch now for the rest of the episode because you've overused the arch word. And you know what we had the other day everyone? The new McDonald's big arch. Yeah we did though. I can't tell them off of that, we did.
Starting point is 01:39:58 It was alright. It was alright. We want this Philly steak bake back or whatever it's called. Philly cheese stack. This is where they park all the buses you can see. Oh BlackRock Rejuvenation are doing it. This must be BlackRock. We haven't arrived at the station yet.
Starting point is 01:40:18 No not yet. What a fucking great thing. Isn't it? I love the idea of a train just as an amusement as well just as a folly yeah yeah nothing you know there's no reason for it no transport reasons I mean you might use this to commute into town if you lived up there there was one businessman who's gotten this every morning when it opens often off to work darling in a high-pressure business of money.
Starting point is 01:40:46 Ding ding. Ooh, I get to press the horn. Ha ha. Wouldn't that be funny if it wasn't? It wouldn't be, look. I mean, it's legitimate. What's that guy doing? It's going quite far up now.
Starting point is 01:40:53 What's that guy doing? What's he doing? What's he holding? What's he doing? Is this art? Is that Tai Chi or something? Is it? Or is it just a random man standing there pointing at things
Starting point is 01:41:06 that don't exist? Yeah, just a random mad guy. I think he's a random man of madness. Oh that looks like a nice venue, the reading room. There's so much of these buildings built into the side. Yeah. They've obviously put money into that one. I think that might be the elephant tunnel there at the entrance, you see it? Oh, there! See, this has worked out perfectly, mate. This is the end of the line. Hooray! This is the end of the line. I'm going to ask her if we have to go back right now, because the last train's at 5.15.
Starting point is 01:41:38 So I think we could just come back whenever we want, right? How do we get out? Unchain it. Maybe she has to do it legally. I know she's doing it. Have I got the ticket still? Is this the right ticket? Brighton Piaz. Don't want to lose the receipt for this. Why don't you? Is it it?
Starting point is 01:41:57 Yeah. £4. No, that's not it, is it? What did I spend £4 on? It's not it, is it? What did I spend four pound on? It's not that. Whatever, whatever, whatever. Oh, I haven't fucking lost a receipt. No, it's here, isn't it? Yeah, this is the one.
Starting point is 01:42:18 Yeah, yeah, two returns. So we can come back on this anytime we want, I'm presuming. Hello, quick question. So we've got a return. Does this mean we can come back onto this anytime we want. I presume. Hello, quick question. So we've got a return. Does this mean we can come back onto the train and return it? Yeah, any train out until 5.15. All right, cool. Thank you very much.
Starting point is 01:42:33 Cheers. Bye bye. I just thought I'd double check that we didn't have to get on it straight away and come back like it was a thing. There's all those big waves where they were crashing before. So the last train out of it is 5.15. Yeah, so we've got plenty of time.
Starting point is 01:42:44 Plenty of time. I love all this ruined Victoria man. Yeah well listen let me just take a quick break while we figure out a plan because you're right the tunnels just up that way. We've got the big sprays there. We should walk up because the tunnels actually in a square just up and then come through and out. Yeah and then see if we can see the other end of it there okay let's try that then all right all right cool see that was that was lovely we will be back in a moment or two's time right with the camp Kemptown Estate. We can see the Kemptown enclosures there. Someone's come out. It's not as mysterious you just see people who sit in alleyways. Thomas Reed Kempt. It was his estate all of this stuff. Yeah, but this isn't the elephant tunnel is it? It is not, but it's a similar tunnel that goes down from above.
Starting point is 01:43:49 Yeah, there's like a tiny closed off private estate area of living. If we can find that, that's where we're going to go find. We're trying to make our way up to the higher ground from the beach. Yeah. Where we got off the volks. And then see if we can find this big old tunnel people are talking about. It's an electric railway and it sounds like Volt, doesn't it? Volk. Oh, yeah. It's all of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:44:13 Volk. Volk. Yeah. What does Volt run on? Volk. Volk. What about Amps? No, he doesn't. He doesn't live around here no more. No, Derry Amp. Derry Amps. Danny Amps. Danny Amps. Danny Amps.
Starting point is 01:44:29 Eli, shut up. Yeah, thank you. Thank God you've said it. Saves me the fucking energy. I haven't had enough caffeine today. We haven't had enough. We need to get some food, mate. I haven't had any caffeine.
Starting point is 01:44:37 You've had an energy drink, haven't you? No, I've had a green tea. No wonder I feel like utter shit. Do you? Yeah. I'm feeling straight laced and free. No wonder I feel like utter shit. Do you? Yeah. I'm feeling straight laced and free. Sound of mind, clear of thought.
Starting point is 01:44:50 Is that sober? Is it sober if you drink coffee? It awakens the little griselles, my friend. Well, it's still a drug, though. You know, still a psychoactive caffeine is not a drug. It's absolutely not. All right. I don't know. It's not a a drug and I will stand by that till
Starting point is 01:45:07 my dying day now here we are we're walking around here now that goes down that way we're going higher up is there oh yeah there is because this elephant tunnel has been haunting me for years and our conversations about Brighton I want to see it be underwhelmed by it and then move on. Yes, that's the plan Paul. That is the plan and then we need food. Oh we need food. And then.
Starting point is 01:45:34 Let's get a burger, this curry places are good here, you know. I don't want a curry. You don't want a curry. I am not in a mood for curry today. Right, here we go. Black Rock Rejuvenation, great stuff, they're going to build stuff, great. Where's this elephant thing? You can't get angry. It's complete, phase one is complete.
Starting point is 01:45:55 Yeah, but phase one started in 2019. But where's this tunnel? Bio-diverse vegetated shingle, no public access. The temple, the reading room, we've been past that. That's where we came up and that's that and then that's where the private gardens are, so behind those houses. So yeah that tunnel goes into that is it that's the elephant tunnel that's where it comes out does it was wait well then that we saw and it goes into this private Parkland
Starting point is 01:46:44 Let's go up there and go round a bit. It's the Sweeney. The Sweeney, the Sweeney. The Sweeney, the Sweeney. So what we're seeing at this point now, this is Thomas Reed Kemp. Yeah, he's the big guy, isn't he? 1782 to 1884 memory of this plaque commemorates the bicentennial of this estate that he planned and developed and I bet it cost a pretty fucking penny done it to live around there on there
Starting point is 01:47:17 well Mark was here but he didn't have access to the tunnel did he? No. Well then fuck him. Oh yeah he did actually because he was a resident up here. Oh it's too much wind hang on. Right so we've come off the seafront now we're just walking around the side of this private park. So what does that mean he just had an elephant willy-nilly in that fucking area for the longest time? He probably had elephant keepers you know that he put up. He's a cunt. He was a king. Yeah and he's a cunt. You can see through the gate what the space is like and it's like slightly wild almost but it's like kind of wild and rugged looking. It looks like scrubland a bit there and there. It's nice. No I'm not complaining.
Starting point is 01:47:58 It's all a bit weather beaten. You can get the breeze coming straight up the sea. I'm feeling a bit weather beaten. I'm alright, again, it's my sober mind and my... Oh, nearly got hit by a car. Sober mind. It's utterly silent, wasn't it? Yeah, that's how they kill you. They're the silent killers, electric cars. Look at this lovely old Volkswagen.
Starting point is 01:48:18 Volkswagen. It's a campervan. Volk. They're worth about 100 grand, those old ones. Volk. Wouldn't you love to have one of these and go down somewhere? Yes, I would. I would act Wouldn't you love to have one of these and go down somewhere? I would. I would love that. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:48:27 Or just park up somewhere one day with a dooby-doo and a flask of hot coffee. And some whiskey. And a little record player that you can bring with you that runs on batteries. Oh, I could bring my new sound burger. Yeah, and then just, you know, chill. I told you I DJ'd at my friend's birthday party on the Soundburger. I know. It was fun. Yeah. Who is Thomas Cubitt, builder of 37 houses in Kemptown? Oh okay, fair enough. He lived there. Fair enough. Very famous Victorian architect and engineer I
Starting point is 01:48:57 believe. So were they known for their races? You must have heard about the Kemptown races mate. Where are we going? Mark lives on the other side of this. Oh okay. We're not going anywhere really. We can walk back into town. We're not going to walk back down to the... I want to walk back to the sea to get the choo choo train back. That's what we're going to do but part of this is public. Is it? And then we can go and sit down and I can... Doobie dodo. You do do, don't you doobie do. I'm not going to doob be dodo you do though don't you do be do well I just I disagree with
Starting point is 01:49:26 your practices as I realized as you pretend to be sober mate this is a new leaf now we're ten years old this is a new Christian values poor Gannon it's a new weed leaf yeah good that's not funny not funny You can be two of them, but not all three. I think the entrance is here. Yeah, no it's not, because look he's going to tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, tap, yeah it's not happening. He's got a key. No, but the entrance to the elephant tunnel is up there.
Starting point is 01:49:53 Oh, it's up that way, okay. Yeah, we're not going to get to go and get finished. I think that might be the elephant tunnel that we saw already. Yeah, I think that's it, innit. I think this might be something public here. I don't know if there is, you know, mate, because all these gardens, like in London, they're all fenced off for the local residents who live nearby to go into. They're very much that style aren't they, of residents only, park within a square.
Starting point is 01:50:14 And it's not a complaint, it's an observation, but it means we can't get them. It's shit. I mean it's shit, but it's understandable when you think about how this area was built and everything. Right well now we're just on a boring street. Sorry. I want to go back to Seafront where we can have adventures. We don't think we'd be able to get into that one either.
Starting point is 01:50:34 No, no not at all. Okay. Let's just find a shaded place near the Seafront and build up there. I tell you what let's go round the top and then down the other side. Alright up and down and over. Alright we are going to do that. I didn't though, did I? Go on, you say it, they'll sign off.
Starting point is 01:50:50 See you in a bit. That man could be me. That's what I said. What a fucking great life. Hello. Thank you. You're welcome. Enjoy. Shall we go in here? We're back on the train everyone.
Starting point is 01:51:22 We don't need to record the whole of this this time. Just so you have people have a gist of it. We're facing forward. That's the big difference Yeah, we're about to depart from Black Rock station. I can't see any black rocks. I wonder why it's called that We could look into it later date Was there a black rock then at one point. There used to be big rock pools around here. When I was a kid, there was none of these pebbles up this far. Rock pooling, you can't get your crabs, star fish. Oh right, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just been humanized and pebbles. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pebbles all the way. It is what it is, mate. It is what it is mate.
Starting point is 01:52:09 So what do you want to do when we get back? Eat. Alright, what kind of eating? Whatever you want Paul, is Cheap Show going to spread for this meal? Yes, Cheap Show will spread to a payment for you. Cheap Show will pay for your gluttony. I don't want to glutton, I've only had a sausage and egg, double sausage and egg Mcmuffin today. That's not exactly gluttony. You've had that, you've had more. I've had that and a bacon butty and porridge. It's been a full day. Anyway, I don't know Paul, what's acceptable to you?
Starting point is 01:52:36 I don't mind. Let's see what inspires us when we get to the other end. Right, so this is just a quick one to say we're heading back the way we came now. That's it. Got nothing much more to say, add to this, other than we passed a bunch of boys and it was like walking through the Lynx factory. Oh yeah, there was a cloud of Lynx Africa. Thick in the air it was. I smell the strange of Africa.
Starting point is 01:53:02 See you in a bit everyone. It's quite a good gag that. I spilt the strains of links Africa. I'm getting the hip mate, alright, I'm getting the ins. I think he's got the arm that one. That could be me. Yes. That could be me in the future. That was very informative about black rock. They were rock balls. Anyway, off we go. See you in a bit. See, I said it. See you in a bit. You've got to stop it. Right, so we have gotten off the train. The Volkswagen. You could call it the Volkswagen, couldn't you, that we were in? We were in the Valks Wagon. Very good.
Starting point is 01:53:47 And we're standing currently outside Quadrophenia Alley. Now, people who know the film Quadrophenia and Brighton know that those two phrases shouldn't be unfamiliar to each other. However, I can't quite figure out why it's called Quadrophenia Alley. Look, but it's actually in Little East Street, which is a tiny street, isn't it? Isn't this Little Knoblet? That's such a tiny street. But are they saying is this the alleyway where something happens? Because there's two scenes in an alley that people remember.
Starting point is 01:54:12 One is the one where you get smugged and the other one is where Leslie Anne gets a right scene to. Right, it's one of those two. Perhaps they use the different ends of the same alley. Maybe. So what happened to Leslie as well? Ha ha ha! You're a dirty boy.
Starting point is 01:54:23 Anyway. Dirty boy. Is this what... Er... Being sober is I don't find jokes like that funny. I know, I'm too sober as well, mate. I can't believe I can't laugh at a good old... Sex joke. It was a two-way thing.
Starting point is 01:54:34 With Leslie Ashby open both ends. Can you just be quiet for a second while I... Well, that's a vagal for a voice. Well, I'm just going to do the voice. Oh, go on, go on. What is Quadrophfinia Alley? Here we go. Right, here we go.
Starting point is 01:54:49 What does it say? Well, we're here. That's where we are. Well, it's a men's clothing shop in Brighton and Hove. Okay, does that mean they've named the street? No, Wikipedia. God, I hate the way they give you the shop first. Don't use AI for your search engines.
Starting point is 01:55:02 Turn that shit off. Here we go. this is the Wikipedia. Quattrofina Alley is located between number 10 and 11 East Street, Brighton. This is where we are, yeah. It says Little East Street here. Maybe this is East Street and that's Little East Street. I bet that's what it is, yeah. I'll ask the boss.
Starting point is 01:55:17 Is that a good gag about Bruce Springsteen? Oh, East Street, yeah, good, yeah. Is that good though? I don't know, when you're so sober it's hard to tell. Eli you know what I'm thinking. You're getting a hankering. We're gonna start drinking and then we'll start thinking about how we're gonna get home. What time is it? Time has flown by. Yeah I don't think it's. Is it five yet or something? Yeah nearly five. Six seven eight is our train. Eight o'clock. We've got three hours mate. We need to eat man. Eight o'clock, so we've got three hours, mate.
Starting point is 01:55:45 We need to eat, man. What's the plan? Before we start drinking, because otherwise we're gonna be unwell. We're gonna be very poorly. Mate, this weather is doing shit to our hair. I'm telling you. You've gone full, full, full.
Starting point is 01:55:54 You're so fuzzy, man. Yeah. I've gone fuzzy as well. Yeah, you're all over the place. Okay, the alley. Yeah. Go on. What's the location for a scene in the 1979 film, Quadrofinio?
Starting point is 01:56:06 The alley has become a shrine to the mod movement. Oh God. People come from all over the world to find this alleyway. The cult film was set in Brighton in 1964, period of the mods and the rockers. Yep. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Diddley, diddley, do. Diddley, diddley, do. The riot. Blah, blah, blah. Key scene in the film. What scene? Yeah, it's not telling us what the actual scene is, that's the actual question we have.
Starting point is 01:56:27 Wait, during a key scene in the film people actually... Fuck's sake. The alley is often covered in... God. It doesn't fucking tell you. It's like, dear Google, here's a question. That's a terrible Wikipedia page, God. Well, name... I tell you what I'm going to type one in you try and find out what scene it was. I've got a different way. I'm going to do it this way. I'm going to do it slightly different.
Starting point is 01:56:53 What's the alleyway scene in Quadrofinia? Two lovers escape to the police from the police and fall through a doorway into a yard. So that is where Leslie and get a good scene to I think it is the place where Leslie Ash was given a good old jungle in yeah it's a slight little alley in it should we go down it nah so I don't like quadrophenia to film for balls right we need to get food mate is the plan. Foodie dude our day is what we need to say and then we're gonna start drinking one two three one two three. We're not gonna get wrecked no but I do think we've had a day of sober fun and now it's time to
Starting point is 01:57:40 loosen up because the journey home might involve us needing to be loose. Well we should look for somewhere that's reasonably nice to do a decent cocktail. Yes we will, I'm not going to wear the spoons. We're coming across all Poncy London now aren't we? Yeah you are actually. This must be Brightonstone. Brightonstone. Which is part of the Brighton.
Starting point is 01:57:58 Where the Brighton... Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Weird, I've never heard that. No I've never heard it. Just want to look at this alley. See if there's anything here. You're going back around to the chicken cost? Well, we might do that one.
Starting point is 01:58:08 It seemed like it was not a bad option. But I just want to... There's the pavilion. Yeah, I don't want to do the pavilion. Because we could go to the lanes and find somewhere on the lanes. Somewhere there? You want to do it? You know what? Eli and I were going back to the lanes.
Starting point is 01:58:20 Come on, mate. Let's do it. Wow, there are still places to do there. OK. going back to the lanes come on mate let's do it while when there are still places to do there We're still looking for food and I just hurt my belly because I walked into a pole. You certainly did and it was hilarious. You've revived my hope in sober comedy, mate. Yeah, because we're feeling like we need to drink now to get this to end. We're not making each other laugh anymore.
Starting point is 01:59:08 The magic's gone out. If you look in this gachapon house, there's like a place where it's full of gachapons. Shall we have a look in the gachapon house? It's an official Bandai official shop. Do you have any change on you though? I'm not the only people who make gachapons. Yes, I do.
Starting point is 01:59:21 How much? These are going to be like... I don't know. No, they're tokens. Maybe that's all right then, because then you can just buy tokens then we can get some stuff okay unless there's anything. Shall we do it? well let's see what there is first you might not want it. There's peanuts which is not the nut but the actual cartoon that's the camp enjoy camp yeah Yeah. He's got Snoopy in his Park Rangers hat there. All peanuts.
Starting point is 01:59:46 All peanuts. Lime. Pac-Man. Have they got Ghostbusters ones? No, Ghostbusters mate. It's not big in that part of the world. It's not going to happen. Oh, Tom and Jerry.
Starting point is 01:59:55 In the cupcake. Do you know the inside of Donut? That is cute. These are like mystery. I don't know which one you're going to get, mate. I mean, you have a rough idea, but no. You're going to donut that is cute. He's like mystery. I don't know which one you're gonna get Well, I mean you have a rough idea, but no like one of these station controllers any one of them Gun them there's robot things which I is bit of a book, but my cat there's some Harry Potter stuff Kirby
Starting point is 02:00:22 famous Nintendo character A lot of manga stuff. I want the one to it's like here's a hi-fi set. Yeah, a little more than something else or something Not quite into the Anime attack on titan stuff, but you don't know Here's one actually here's one Eli. Eli here's one you might be interested in might be interested in follow me You might not actually but it's the only one that I've seen which comes close to what I'm looking for. Little miniature Nikon cameras. They're nice aren't they, do you like those?
Starting point is 02:00:51 Forte Collet, well it's just, it's better than, I don't know, Winking Smiley Anime Bear. I don't know, I like a Winking Smiling Anime Bear, as much as the next man. I'm sure you do. And look there's those tiles, Marjon. Oh they're nice. Marjon, or what this, piano, trumpet, guitar, saxophone, creature things. They, I like those tiles, mahjong. Oh, they're nice. Mahjong. Or what this, piano, trumpet, guitar, saxophone, creature things.
Starting point is 02:01:07 I like those as well more. Yeah, that's all right. How much? Purchase your token from the machine. What do you want though? I don't know. The only one I've seen so far that I've liked is the camera. I'll get one of those then.
Starting point is 02:01:18 Maybe I will. I don't want the trumpet or the saxophone, they're too yellow. All right, well then let's see what else there is. Look at these guys. What? They're little sea life characters or something. Like a little dog.
Starting point is 02:01:29 There's a whale and a jellyfish. And that's a raccoon, a Japanese raccoon. And there's a whale and two jellyfish. What on earth is that? What are these mahjong tiles? I don't get it. They're just tiles. I'm guessing they're just tiles. I'd love to learn to play that. It's meant to be a really good game. I play it on the computer when you're just tiles. I'm guessing they're just tiles. I'd love to learn to play that.
Starting point is 02:01:45 It's meant to be a really good game. I play it on the computer when you're just clicking at it. That's not the same game. It is. It is. It's a really complicated game. Not complicated, but it's like a proper game. You want one of those?
Starting point is 02:02:00 Well, if there was a Nintendo one, yeah. Then I'd be interested. Bandai and Nintendo, they're too competitive with each other. No, they're not. There's a Pac-Man. Ah, that's Bandai though, innit? There's no Mario ones, are there? But there's Kirby, and that's a Nintendo license.
Starting point is 02:02:18 That's why I'm saying it's not impossible. The Peanuts one's still good. Oh yeah, do you want a Peanuts one? Maybe. Oh, what's this want a peanuts one? Maybe. Oh, what's this? You know what? Can I just talk to the mic for a bit? Because I need to complain about you. We've been wandering around trying to find somewhere to eat.
Starting point is 02:02:34 Paul's very indecisive about that. Now we've gone, when we're being indecisive about somewhere to eat, we've gone into a Gatchapon thing. And now he's being indecisive about what Gatchapon he wants. Don't forget I was in Scythe about the record shop we went into, which is also a distraction. What's this down here? What's that?
Starting point is 02:02:50 Dental chair. This might be the one I want now. Really? It comes with a dentist chair or part of it. It's either the chair or the mouthwash or the thing. That is actually bloody cool. You know what I mean? So we've made a decision now.
Starting point is 02:03:02 Yeah, it's either that or the camera. Let's go buy some stuff. I wish... Do you have cash for tokens? I don't know. Find out. Yeah, it's either that or the camera. I wish... I don't know, find out. There's stationary. Most of them are two. Oh look, there are some other ones here. There is an impossible thing.
Starting point is 02:03:27 It's impossible to open Gachapon. Level one, two, three and apparently... Can you open the Gachapon? The aim is to open the sphere. It's a puzzle, isn't it? Yeah. A little hand puzzle. And look, what's this one?
Starting point is 02:03:41 Another impossible to open one. Puzzle within puzzles. Those ones, the Dentist Chair of five tokens. Oh, of course, it's this one? Another impossible to open one. Puzzle within puzzles. Those ones, the dentist chair of five tokens. Oh, of course, it's more elaborate. And then whatever this is. Stationary? Oh, I like those. Uni-stationary. Oh, it's like a little stationery at Mint on Card.
Starting point is 02:03:56 Oh, yeah, that's what it is. Oh, a little mint stationery replica key ring. Yeah, that's all right. Oh, I could stay in it forever. Let's see how much the tokens cost, because, oh here we go. So it's £4 for two tokens, £6 for three tokens, £8 for four tokens, £10 for five tokens. I don't understand.
Starting point is 02:04:16 So I pay a tenner, you get five tokens, you get one egg. Yeah, but if you paid a tenner, we could both get two, we could both get two... We could both get two... Two tokens. We could both get a two token thing. True. We have to make sure whatever we get though is worth two tokens and not more, otherwise it's pointless. Yes, but you want a five token thing. So I'm not going to spend... Are you going to downgrade?
Starting point is 02:04:39 I just don't want to spend ten quid on a tiny, useless dentist chair that I can't justify purchasing. They don't take cash. So let's go get food. We're not... Let's go get food. Now, let's do the food thing now. Let's get the food thing. Paul, it's turning into the you needing a wee thing.
Starting point is 02:04:56 Four tokens. No, five, right? No, one left right slot. What's the difference between the slots? Left slot. Food. the difference between the slots? Left slot. Oh, you know, food. This was fun. Yeah, it's food. Food time. Food time. Food time.
Starting point is 02:05:13 We're going to get food. I'm driven. I'm focused. It's food time. Red light. Red light. Red light. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. You want a sort of slightly upmarket burger place, don't you? Kind of, yeah. red light let's go let's go let's go burger place don't you? kind of yeah we'll find it. yeah that's closed. a sort of casual dining burger burger joint not a full fast food one. food food I need food. I need food. Here we go. The road of food. The road of food begin here. Are we going to go past the comedian? Maybe. Listen, we're coming back to you after
Starting point is 02:05:55 we've been fed. Hello everyone, just a little update. Eli and I have found a little burger place to eat in and put a pin in this army having to I'm ha I'm having Prosecco I couldn't get the words out I'm having Prosecco but anyway look ladies and gentlemen all you need to worry about right now is that your host and loving savior Paul Gowin is now hitting the booze so things are gonna get spicy they certainly are well we hope because it's been flat since we got off the train I have been sharp of mind and straight edge all the day and I'm only doing this because Eli said the comedy is flagging this week and so Paul can
Starting point is 02:06:38 you sacrifice your morals and your standing to come down to my level and and start drinking and be more funny again. And I said, isn't it a shame that we have to resort to this because we don't have the wit to back it up. And I agreed with them. I'm about to make an observation that you might find witty. What? We were across from a shop called Vegetarian Shoes, animal friendly footwear. How are they vegetarian? Do those shoes eat meat and cheese but not, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:07:07 Right, well we'll come back to you in a bit then after we've eaten because I'm at... We call them vegan shoes because they eat no animal products. No one eats anything. The shoes don't eat. I know, that's why it's a stupid... because vegetarian refers to a diet. It's a stupid name for a shop. What would you call shoes that were made without any meat or animal products? Vegan shoes. It says, what does it say in the window, vegan friendly footwear? Yeah, they should have gone with that. It's an issue of branding and not intention, isn't it? It's clearly an issue of branding, but don't say branding around vegan shoes because that's exactly what those cows won't be done. That's better, that's a funnier thing. They won't be branded, will they?
Starting point is 02:07:45 No they won't be. Because that's cruel. No they will, you're right. Right, we are one meal down, successful meal, a lovely burger. Mate, we've got to come to this chilli shop next time when it's open. God! Yeah, they've relocated, it's the same shop as next, they've got all the pounded stuff. And I've had Prosecco and Eli's had another thing and then we're gonna get off. Look there's a Ghost Buster Chili. Oh my god! Ghosted! I ain't afraid to know Ghost Pepper. We have to come back down here. We could just put a brick for the window and grab what we can and go. No don't. This is what I'm interested in. Do you remember we tried that one? Habanero and Ghost. These are the El Yakateca. El Yakateca. Masquera Black, what the fuck? What is that? And look, Habanero
Starting point is 02:08:30 and Coffee. We tried a coffee one though, do you remember they sent us one? Did they? Yeah, it's a thing. We've got another box by the way with some hot sauce in that has been made for us. Spoilers alert, we'll do that next week. That's a classic. Tapatio. I want that Ghost Busted one now. What's it called? Ghosted. It's got Ghost Peppers, yeah of course. And then this like a Simpsons one. It's cool. These are cool brand this they've got all really, it looks like a Rick and Morty one almost. Maybe Rick and Morty. Oh, this is such a great shop Sam Bao Hot ones, you know, they've got their own range. God, how depressing is that though? No, but those are apparently really good sauces.
Starting point is 02:09:08 The last dab experience. Over 91% pepper X. Yeah, that's the... Hot Sauce by The Heatinist. We've got to get... I'll do that. What's this one? Colon Cleanser. Cleaner. Elixir of Capacean Extremus. But you know I'm interested in these ones, the Hot Ones branded ones, because they work with Ed Curry, who's the inventor of Pepper X. He's this chilli breeder. You've seen him in videos. He works with them on the Hot Ones, so you know those are good.
Starting point is 02:09:43 You know those are good. But are these going to be hot, or do they only have any flavour? No, he's all about the flavour. He's not just like... Well he fucking better be, or he's got to get a letter from Cheap Show telling him to step the fuck down. Ed Curry, Ed Curry is the kind of guy... Mark Curry? From Blue Peter, Mark Curry?
Starting point is 02:09:57 Ed Curry, the inventor of Pepper X. It seems like the kind of fun-loving guy who would actually be a guest on our podcast. Well if you're listening, which you're not, give us free hot sauce you cunt. Oh that's a shame. Right let's go find... I haven't got any money. Oh look, look at all these bongs. There's a slimer bong.
Starting point is 02:10:15 A slimer bong and a baby Yoda bong. And a death trooper bong. Do you like this little box made for rolling? Rolling King. Is that unnecessary? No you don't need any of that. No you don't need it. Look at this little box made for rolling? Rolling King. Is that unnecessary? No, you don't need any of that shit. No, you don't need it. I don't need it.
Starting point is 02:10:28 What are they called? Three-Eyed Blinky Bong. From? Toy Story. Oh yeah, the aliens from Toy Story. They're the aliens in the crane game. Yeah. Call back to when we looked at a crane game.
Starting point is 02:10:38 Yeah, look at that massive grinder. Look at the size of that big grinder. That's a big boy grinder. That's when you want to... Take a picture please, because I've got my phone in my pocket and there's a baby pictures of those hot sauces no I'll do that then I'll tell you what let's do that I'll do that and you do that see this is what multitasking is if you're a great man like me let's just do these here we go perfect we're the multi-men we do the
Starting point is 02:11:04 multitask stuff. You know what? You might be able to get that hot sauce sent to us or whatever, you know. We could email them. Not email, just buy it online, right? That's what I mean. Let's do it. Anything's our oyster. Anything's our oyster. What about real oysters? No, we can't eat those. Oysters, ironically, are the only thing that are not my oyster. The world's my oyster. Except for oysters, shellfish right so now we're going to a record shop because someone pointed out to us
Starting point is 02:11:32 a Teddy Smith jacket of this Harrington no I don't know I don't like it that mustard yellowy kind of thing I don't like it if it was kind of a blue or black I like a blue or black although I like that school If it was kind of a blue or a black. I like a blue or a black. Although I like that Skulls shirt. It's like a Day of the Dead Mexican skulls. Yeah, Dilma Muentes. It's all mod gear, isn't it? Now, that's a nice Harrington, don't you think? With the black zip and the light blue.
Starting point is 02:11:56 Maybe not in that colour, I don't know. You just said you'd like a blue one. Also, I'm not a huge fan of the mod-y look, and that's very mod-like or mod-adjacent. Yeah, look, there's the mod father. Yeah, mod off. That's all mod all over the place. Son of a... son of a bitch, mod man.
Starting point is 02:12:09 You know... Where's the... where are we going? Itopi, is this the way the record shop is? From the video, Fats and Small, was it? Turn around. Turn around. I don't wanna see your heart breaking. No, it's not that.

I don't wanna see you me crying.'s not just walk away and I want to see you crying just walk away oh you're hot that you're leaving hardcore I like that the way they're melty on the on the melty yeah you should take a picture that otherwise when people listen to this and then choose to look at our website the cheap shot at koda UK they won't know what you're talking about what's this one arrow aro schnorm things went in my mouth loads of things were in my mouth that I wasn't paying attention you're the map man you're the map man You're the man who maps.
Starting point is 02:13:07 One minute display poll. Yes, yes, that way. I think the van's laid us up a dark alley. Literally and figuratively. 34 Gardner Street. Let's just find Gardner Street. 24 Gardner Street? Hang on, hang on, hang on. She gives us the number. Just calm down. 34. 34.
Starting point is 02:13:26 You couldn't like this whenever you start drinking. You fucking cunt. You want to hasten yourself to the end of your life. I'll fucking bash you. When fun is over. All fun is over and there's no existing with your fist. Where my fist stopped bashing, I'll stop lashing out at society.
Starting point is 02:13:40 It's all windy now. And I have a... A what? I caught that. Caught the tail end. Caught nothing. I caught the tail end of your rat. You caught nothing. I caught the tail end of your rat.
Starting point is 02:13:52 That's what I caught. 24 Gardner Street. That's what I said, 34. 34 Gardner Street. Why doesn't your phone remember stuff? There you go, Brian and Hove. Just tap it. It's a very windy day. Is that how you work a phone? You tap on it? Is that what it is Paul?
Starting point is 02:14:09 For fuck's sake. You're getting like this now. You're getting like this and telling me, explaining me things I could do. Where's Garden Street? You said you knew where it was. No, you were getting insufferable my friend. Suffering? Suffering? Fuck it there. I'm getting insufferable. Right there. Do you want to look at the map? So which way? Who are us? We're the little fox head.
Starting point is 02:14:30 Oh yeah Eli's made us the little fox head. So it's the opposite way we came. We were literally on the street we were on. Literally the shop, literally opposite where we were. I think it's that new shoe shop that we could see. La Chou, remember La Chou? 24. Wasn't that the vegetarian place? The vegetarian shoe shop you didn't like? Oh this is the
Starting point is 02:14:48 back of Comedia. Oh is it? Yeah, so you must have gone under it. It's Comedia right next door to the Girmagorma Cabelega. Yeah it is. The good times roll, Comedia underscore Brighton. Oh look, here this is what we're talking about. Instagrammable. Will we be Instagramming? Oh yeah, I'm not doing it. I won't be promoting the Comedia brand. I've got a headache. You know what it is? What? Caffeine. I haven't had enough caffeine. I'm getting a caffeine headache. They're the worst.
Starting point is 02:15:14 I need to drink some caffeine. Let's get you a coffee martini then. How about that? Espresso martini. I hate them. I'll have an agroni. Are you sure there's £5 agronis? That's way back that back that way in it. You don't want to do that. I mean we could but it was in a fish shop Oh, hey, there was that other thing. And it stunk of fish in there. Did it? Yeah, it did That's one of the reasons why I was like, eugh And that's why you walked into the bollard. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I was trying to see if there was a sign saying fish or something
Starting point is 02:15:41 You know like as if to say this is a fish shop Or whether it was just a normal restaurant. And you were so distracted that I walked saying fish or something you know like as if to say this is a fish shop or whether it's just a normal restaurant. And you were so distracted that I walked... It was not a bollard it was what do you think called that it's a post to hold up an awning or a banner. Yeah and I went cock strides into it. Cock strides? Cock strides into it. That's the kind of old cap I want. Oh well. I love those. It was nice food though, We went to Gourmet Burger Kitchen, it was good. It was good, it was nice. And we were... Oh look at this, there's all sorts in there. So where are we going now? See that's Upper Gardner Street. So all we've done Eli really is walk around the block for no fucking reason. Well, get some exercise in your lungs.
Starting point is 02:16:22 After a big meal? That's what you need, get it go down, get it digested. Where's this record shop, because then we need to find the long egg. There it is. Which one? I recognise from the photo, the street map. Starfish. The Cornish pasty shop. Oh, so it's not a record shop no more then? No, didn't you look at the post? No I didn't look at the post. Well here we are, take a photo. Of what? You outside the Cornish Pasty Shop? Yes, but in there. Alright, alright, we'll do it.
Starting point is 02:16:47 Hang on, bear with us a vent. No taxi driver, you take all the time in the fucking world. Here we go. I swear to God that taxi driver slowed down when he saw me as I tried to take a picture. Like he was wanting to stop. But look, jokes on him, he's behind the truck now and he's going nowhere. He's behind a rubbish truck. He's going nowhere. What are you looking at?
Starting point is 02:17:08 Put your face, I can get your face in there. Yes, in there. You have to tell me because the reflection is different from my point of view. For those listening at home, Eli's trying to bounce my face off the reflection of a window so he can put me in one of those put your face through a picture of a fat lady cooking or something pictures look at this have a little look oh it's kind of scary
Starting point is 02:17:34 like a ghost oh starfish stop saying starfish chocolate starfish that's what I wanted to say out loud. You know what that sounds like? What? What does it sound like? A new metal band album title.
Starting point is 02:17:52 Twang that band, baby. It's to a Lego store in Brighton. Oh my God. Where's that then? Oh, Gax shut down. Yeah, that happened a little while ago. Everyone was really fucked off. Did it?
Starting point is 02:18:01 Did you hear about it? Yeah, because there was uproar on social media about how it was like, I bought my first guitar here all these years ago and now I'm in Supergrass, that kind of thing, you know. Do you know what it's time for now? Oh, that's a great orange rose. That's a nice aloe shot. It's a great aloe. Shut out. Do you want me in the shot, working away, or would you like it with just the seagulls?
Starting point is 02:18:19 I'll just get one with just the seagulls. I think you're right to. Dorset Free House we're outside of now. Now I'm going to look for egg. Look for long eggs. Long eggs over on the other side of the road, so we have to go literally up to the main road and over. Just look at the route.
Starting point is 02:18:33 Oh, I'm bored of this. What? Patience. He's such a dick. It's still only one minute away. One minute. It's not, it's there, it's on the road we were on. Look, it's just there, we were just there.
Starting point is 02:18:46 I'm getting sick of this. We were right by the egg pool, and you're a dick. It's not on the other side of anything, it's here. Yeah, but you're the one who keeps leading us. There it is! There's God in the house. Long egg, it's on the wall. Long egg.
Starting point is 02:19:00 Ladies and gentlemen, I can see long egg. Long live, long leg. Long legs. You, there's Long Live, Long Egg. Long Live, Long Leg. Long Legs. You can see they've gone over it over the years. Stand next to it and model it, you prick. Here we go. Long Live, Eli, Long Legs. Like that.
Starting point is 02:19:13 Nice. Oh, that's a great shot. Yeah, I like that. Sexy. Long Egg. All right, well that's that then. Now what do we do with the rest of our time? Long Egg, Long Egg, Long Egg, Long Egg.
Starting point is 02:19:21 It's like that horror film, isn't it? Long Eggs. Can I get one with you, mate? Here I am posing by long legs. Long egg. Yeah, baby. Long legs. I like that, it's funny because someone's gone over it.
Starting point is 02:19:38 It really is respected. Look, there's the original. Yeah. It's been preserved. Long live long egg. See, but it used to be just... Long leg. Long egg. Long leg. See what I'm getting at?
Starting point is 02:19:51 Yeah. And now it's long live long leg. Long live long egg. Who's done that? They've changed long egg. I know, the custodian of the long leg exercise. You can't say long egg, can you? Long egg.
Starting point is 02:20:00 Say it more egg more. Long egg, long egg, long egg, long egg, long egg, long egg, long egg, long egg, long egg, long egg, oh a long egg is when I shit in my talking pants. Are you feeling some pressure? No, you know what, I went for an absolutely textbook dump this morning. It was like it curled up like one of those cartoon ones you see on the telly. Like one of those funnily enough, it looked like that. I'm going to have to take a photo of that now aren't I?
Starting point is 02:20:21 It's house waffles, £5.99. I got a marshmallow delight. Pointing, pointing at it. It was more like the Oreo water for being blunt. This is a good photo of you demonstrating what it looks like. Pointing what my poo looked like. So what do we do now then, now that we've found Long Leg? Long Egg?
Starting point is 02:20:39 God, there's loads of mod shops out here. Right, in that case, my next thing is... You like this, so far? I like that heavy... No, you know what? The mod look does not work for me. What about these nice loafers? I think that's a beautiful shoe. I am frustrated. 90s Vans skateboarder kid. I guess. That's my aesthetic.
Starting point is 02:20:56 That's the wish I could have pulled off. Look at me. Look at what I've got. I don't know about those shorts, Paul. I'm not a huge fan of these shorts, but they were on sale when I bought them and I needed shorts at the time. Maybe get some different shorts. Oh, sorry, no, I just not a huge fan of these shorts but they were on sale when I bought them and I needed shorts at the time. Oh sorry no I just buy a bunch of fucking schoolboy shorts like you got. These are golf shorts my friend. Yeah exactly that's the point it makes you look like a little, makes you look like a cub scout. Look all I said was a
Starting point is 02:21:17 very mild criticism of your frankly catastrophically unfashionable shorts. Hey. Everyone says it I'm, but you're on them again. I'm not having fashion tips for a man who looks like someone snotted out a fucking hobbit's nose. Someone snotted out a hobbit's nose. Very constructive, Paul. Very constructive. Now we're going past the comedian again.
Starting point is 02:21:37 I'm getting tired of this place. Would you shut up? You shut up. Change your shorts. Change your heart or die? How about that? Do you mean change my heart? Was that a comedian? That was a comedian.
Starting point is 02:21:47 Who was? The small bearded man coming out. Was it? Should we chase them? I'm sure it was an act. I'm sure. Fuck him. Right. Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages.
Starting point is 02:21:58 Boys and girls, the Spice Shop. We're back by the Spice Shop again. This whole segment's been us walking around the block twice. This has been great. That's right. I'm going to stop this because my next port of call is my fingers. Anyone who agrees about the shorts as well. I don't give a shit.
Starting point is 02:22:11 I like to say I'm not being nasty about it. I'm just being helpful. Yeah, well, you still look like a fucking. I look fine. You look like the coach of a boys football team in 1980. That's what you look like. You look like the guy on the golf course the police have to remove. That's what you look like. That's a good look.
Starting point is 02:22:36 You look like someone who was not good enough to be in the second series of Alvidus Saint-Pete. That's your look today. I'm going to stop this recording now because my next thing is a booze, booze-dar, radar booze and I'm going to be doing that now. Booze-dar. Well looky what we've got here. We've got ourselves a rootin' tootin' cocktail bar right about here now. We're on shuffle, shuffle Jukebox. It just seems to be called Shuffle. It's just called the Shuffle Bar. But. It's a lovely place.
Starting point is 02:23:10 Paul decided he wanted a bramble which is a gin and berry. What is it? It's gin, blackberry and raspberry basically. Yeah. And I wanted. The raspberry liqueur. And I wanted an amaretto Sour. Aye. But then when we got to the bar, when I got to the bar to order the drinks he said I'm going to make you two of each because it's one, it's two for one but they have only the same ones. So basically what he's saying is if you wanted to buy an Amaretto Sour and a Bramble you
Starting point is 02:23:44 might as well get an extra one of each. Two Brambles, two Sours. It's gonna fucking cost the same amount of money, man. So guess what we did? And now we're on lemon drops. Four bucks a lemon drop. Because I wanna have fun, it's our birthday year. And, er...
Starting point is 02:23:58 Do you know what? This is gonna be an absolute nightmare for you to edit this podcast. Everything's noisy as hell. There's too much wind. Everything's noisy as hell. There's too much wind. There's wind, there was the sea, there was the ghost train, there was, you know what I mean? I have no idea how the ghost train's going to sound other than...
Starting point is 02:24:15 ..noise kerfuffle. Don't you think it's going to be a bit noisy in here as well? No, it's all right. So why the hell wasn't that at school? It's all right, mate. I've drunk three cocktails too fast man. You know what I did? I would argue you've not drunk three cocktails fast enough.
Starting point is 02:24:30 The thing is when a drink is sweet I'll pound it. I know you can barely taste the booze in this lemon drop at all can you? It's terrible behaviour innit. Terrible behaviour for podcasters. Look, as far as I'm concerned, between episodes 440 and 450, Cheap Show's on holiday, and we're doing what we want when we want, how we want, what we want. And that's all that matters.
Starting point is 02:24:56 Eli, what's wrong with you? You got a problem. No, no problem. Are you having a problem spitty-spitty? No, I'm not spitty. Shall I lick my lips? No no salt. But lots of sugar. I can still taste the salt through the sugar.
Starting point is 02:25:10 I can't taste the salt in my lips. That's because you're not a super taster. Anyway I'm feeling horny. I'm gonna make love to someone scrawny. Are you? If they're tall or if they're bony, they can be Alan or they can be Tony. Wow, that's good.
Starting point is 02:25:30 And I'll take you home to my bed. Sit down, lie down, get down, and then you make some bread. Shit on my chest. Shit on my chest. Shit on my chest. Was that an original song? It's an original Paul Gannon piece, that. It's a poor original Gannon piece.
Starting point is 02:25:50 What's it called? Shit on my chest? Well, no, it's like make bread, parentheses shit on my chest! Oh dear. I'd buy that. I'd buy that. Give it a fat dub remix. Job dub. Anyway, look, long story short, you don't need to know what we're doing.
Starting point is 02:26:05 We're just filling you in that we're having fun. Shuffle bar, we would recommend the drinks. It's St George's. That must be St George's, right? Let me have a little check. St Peter's Place, it's on the corner of St Peter's Place. Tell them Cheap Show sent you because they gave us some hot thrifting back info which we will not say here. We're not going to say it here but
Starting point is 02:26:30 yeah a little conversation about thrifting as I mentioned what we do on the pod and he was very he gave me what his holy grail town in Sussex with thrifting is. And we're going to take that to our grave or when we tell you or when we record the episode there later. I think by thrifting he meant clothes shopping. He knows nothing. But... That's like saying I like comedy but I only go to see stand-up. But if you imagine... you'd imagine that somewhere that's good for clothes thrifting is going
Starting point is 02:26:56 to be good for other kind of thrifting as well. The kind of thrifting we like. I'll tell you what's funny. On a tangent, there's those three... well, I think there was three, but there's two there now. Two girls at the bar. This one in between, you just can't see her from this angle. OK, either way, they have been flirting top, top, top best with the guy at the far end, because he's the sexiest, if you ask me. Who?
Starting point is 02:27:16 The one with the long hair. The gentleman of colour. If you want me to say that out loud to justify him, reduce the person down with his skin complex. I didn't want you to say that. It's fine. Sounds like it. Yeah, that's the chap I was having a chat with about thrifting. I didn't want you to say that. I didn't want you to say that. It's fine. That's the chap I was having a chat with about thrifting. But like, they're all teetering and tell us your tips and oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho the barman in an establishment like this. Would you stop talking honestly Tom Tom? Yeah, should I stop? Yeah man. What should I stop talking about? Anything at all.
Starting point is 02:27:48 Well anyway after this we're going to smoke a Bing Bang booty and then we're going to get on the train and go home. I have been straight edge all day long and I'm still straight edge now because I've asked for, guess what, twist in the tale, non-alcoholic drinks. Are they? They've all been non-alcoholic drinks the whole night. They have not. All of them have been non-alcoholic drinks. They've all been non-alcoholic drinks the whole night. All of them have been non-alcoholic drinks.
Starting point is 02:28:07 They have not, my friend. I ordered the first batch. I ran in and I said, my mate's coming in. No, you didn't. I was there the whole time whilst he made them. You couldn't have got past me. In that case, I am pissed. LAUGHTER Here's to that.
Starting point is 02:28:20 This lemon drop's actually really delicious. This lemon drop. Ching ching. Right, we'll see you a bit later. I did it again! I can't stop it! It's like a muscle memory thing. Eli's panicking that we're going to be late for the train.
Starting point is 02:28:37 The station's right fucking here. I just went up the wrong road by accident. And he's getting all arsey about it. See here we are, look here we are, we're fine see. What's all this? It's the back of the station and there's all the houses down here. And there's a party or something going on. There's a party or something going on. Maybe it's a wedding or something. No, is it? It's just a normal night. Anyway we're heading to the station now like my whole
Starting point is 02:29:06 belly and thorax is one big solid stout cube of smash burger and booze smash burger and booze coming to you on TV next year under the bridge music studio see that's good in it You never know the next big band The music coming from that you've heard of. I love this. I love the old stuff. The next big band could be making it's biggest album right now in there. Excuse me everyone I'm sorry. He's grouchy. That is a grouch. He's a grouchy man. So we went to Shuffle's lovely place. What did we have drink? I'm known he in love with them. There's their body in here. He had lovely air. Didn't he have lovely air? And then we sat by a church and in front of God's fucking face we smoked drugs
Starting point is 02:30:03 So we had a cigarette. I've had a turn around. I've had a danger to this episode. I've added risk. I've added excitement and what have you added? I love this runes.

And we're getting off at East Croydon now as we've been told.
Starting point is 02:36:05 Eli was humming and aahing about whether he was going to be a little rebel and stay on till like Farringdon and that's his decision but I'm going to stay rule forward. So we're coming into East Croydon now where we need to get a train. Oh it makes no fucking odds anyway, look at the plaque in there. So here we are, East Croydon. Then we need to get a train now to Victoria from here. All right, we're off. Right, I need to find me tickets. I bet it's this one right here in fact.
Starting point is 02:36:44 Here we go. It's probably this one, innit? East Croydon to London, Victoria. Blah blah blah, blah blah blah. Blah blah blah. Yeah, that's the one way. I don't want one way I want what East Croydon to Victoria that's what I want mate what does that say right into right into London East Croydon, blah, blah, blah.

The train's gone away and we're on the last leg of our own. Now, do you wish you'd stayed on? I bet you did, didn't didn't you but you wanted to stay on and stay on until you went to? Farreys, I'm sick of hearing you

She was there for like 10 minutes asking my new, my new questions about every single possible fucking thing. No, what rides are open? Which ones are these? Can you name me all of them?
Starting point is 02:38:34 How much should I put in the card? One card, two card? It's like it's a big squared space, the whole place. It was like, just have a fucking look around, put someone in a car and fuck off that much. And then there was also, oh, hang on. It's over there, we gotta run. Oh shit, man. Didn't pull in all the way here we go
Starting point is 02:39:00 here we are on the next leg of our train journey to Victoria on train part 2. This is a better train innit? The vibes better on this. We've got a table. And er, ok, here we go, let's wrap this up. So this was our office day out wasn't it? Two. And it was a success in every way.
Starting point is 02:39:20 Apart from you putting an unfratting photo of me on socials and everyone saying I look pissed. No Dunin. I'm Dunin. It's a subtle difference you look Dunin. I am Dunin. And to be fair we both look like pissed lobsters right now. We do, we do. We love you, we're only joking when I say I hate his guts and can't stand the sound of his voice anymore and... You know where this is going right? No, I was only joking. I am not joking, this is a wholeheartedly felt appeal for...
Starting point is 02:39:52 Oh Paul. Oh Paul. He can't do words and stuff now. Now here's the question mate. How do we end this? Do we end this now or do we end it when we go our separate ways of Victoria? I was saying I was wrapping it up. I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do one last bit when we get to Victoria and wrap it up. Also second thing, the woman who came into the Volks Electric Railway and began to, I mean I'm not saying this is correlation, this is causation, but they were both blonde. Women, small, shouty, like to point a lot. It's the pointing that got me most.
Starting point is 02:40:31 But like we're waiting there, the train's literally about to go any minute and she won't stop asking that guy questions. Is it this? Is it that? How far does it go? Can I get back? And yet she's standing in front of a big sign with all of those answers in front of her. It's like how much? There you go, where's it go with there's the map there Meanwhile, I'm thinking if we could buy our tickets now we can get on that and not have to wait other for any fucking Anyway, they're both dead now That's the most important thing That's that's the but that to be fair out of the whole day. That's the only annoying thing that really really happened. No, no fun
Starting point is 02:41:02 No one broke win next week. We didn't see any nunss I tell you what on the train back there instead of the nuns we had a man in terrible clothes I don't know if you noticed he had the terrible shorts on yeah he was eating in a very odorous samosa yeah it was like filling my no it just smelled rich and beefy and oniony it was an incredibly pongy samosa right in my nozzles. Yeah, I didn't need it. Anyway, we're on the second tray. Yeah, we've gone off one, we're on the other now. This is nice. It's a nicer tray. Yeah, so.
Starting point is 02:41:37 Better air conditioned, it's a table, it's cleaner. Aye. Everything's better. Has this got power? It's got power as well, yeah. That's good, so we've got everything we need. I wonder what charge I'm on. You're on more than me, but that means you've been sucking my power for about 40 minutes. Well, I've been sucking the power bandage. Sucking, yeah, power vampire.
Starting point is 02:41:49 Power bank vampire. 42. See, that's more than me. I think I'm on like 18 right now. I've got this. Pull it away from me. Pull it further. No, that's too far.
Starting point is 02:41:57 Now it's got no numbers on. Up there. Yeah, that's a bit of a problem. Yeah, that's a bit of a problem. Yeah, that's a bit of a problem. Yeah, that's a bit of a problem. Yeah, that's a bit of a problem. Yeah, that's a bit of a problem. Yeah, that's a bit of a problem. Yeah, that's a bit of a problem. Yeah, that's a bit of a problem. Yeah, that's a than me, I think I'm on like 18 right now. Pull it away from me, pull it further.
Starting point is 02:42:06 No, that's too far, now it's got no numbers on. Up there. I can't read nothing. 42. I think it says 42. I recognise 42, it must be higher than 30, therefore... It's 42. Quid pro quo, 42.
Starting point is 02:42:23 SIGHS I think this...we should end. Yeah. I think we would do one last wrap up when we get to Victoria to say goodbye proper but for now all you need to know is your heroes are safe and sound on another man's sump and I ache all over and every time I take my bag off it burns at my skin as it drapes, you know, as it slides off my skin. Yeah. So I... You kind of got there with the meaning of that.
Starting point is 02:42:49 Kind of. I've had three cocktails and a drink and a Prosecco and lovely burger. Gannon's fed well, Gannon's drunk well. That was good. It was nice. And I've had a lovely day. I'll honestly, I love it. This is, honestly, I think this is whether anyone finds it funny or not, I don't care.
Starting point is 02:43:06 This was a better day out than the last Brighton Adventure. We did more things. Yes, for sure. I liked the railway. It's basically a train themed episode. We came in on a train, we got on a train, we went on a ghost train, we did all the trains. So, you know, good stuff.
Starting point is 02:43:25 God, lost the will. I'm sorry, listen, you deserve better than this. Well, they do, Paul and... Right, for the sign-up. Do you want to say anything about the shorts? Do you want to say anything about them? Can please listen? Yeah, you dress like a disgraced PE teacher.
Starting point is 02:43:39 That's what you look like. Keep trying these things. None of them are landing. The only time it landed is when you said ago. They look like all the members of our Feeders and pet yeah, you do that's a good point. That's a good one. Yeah, I see but that's that's not what you said no No Just change the short this race. I'm not gonna change my shot. I like these shorts. I Actually do like them. I hope they fit my which is awkward and weird, so it's fine. I've never been so insulted in all my life.
Starting point is 02:44:11 Oh, come on. Next stops, Clapham Junction. Has Leah said anything about those shorts? Yeah. What did she say? Take them off. Yeah. She did, didn't she? She doesn't like them, does she? No one likes them. My pussy out. So, you know, Gatot wins. She did didn't she yeah, she doesn't like that does she no one likes that
Starting point is 02:44:33 So you know got it wins, oh no, no, I'm gonna wins gonna always win That's what it sounds like when you're getting pleasure from me so insecure about your shorts being crap Do you have to reiterate that you're in a loving relationship. I actually don't care. I am in a loving relationship, aren't I? And it must burn at you that. It doesn't. It really doesn't. It really doesn't. I didn't want to insult you further but it kind of turned my stomach when you said that. Oh, yeah? Yes. You know when you just kind of go, errr, slip it in, like that? Good. That's what I want him. I want Eli repulsed at all times. Right, genuinely nothing to say. See you in a bit. LAUGHTER God, believe it.
Starting point is 02:45:24 What must you look like staring out of that window as we're coming into the platform? Scaring people. You look scarier. You look like the last haunted dog in the pet shop. Check yourself before you say things like that. Before I wreck myself. Yeah, well, I'm not gonna.
Starting point is 02:45:44 You've wrecked yourself. What is the last haunted... There's no such thing as the last haunted dog in the toy shop. There is. You're it. Fine. Woof woof woo. Haunted isn't like sad. Oh.
Starting point is 02:46:02 Happy? There's plenty of seats here. Oh, God bless Americans in the joy of public transport in the UK. They're not used to it over there, are they? Was he excited to be getting on the train? Yeah, he was like, come on, let's go. I was like, God bless him. Oh, hang on, I've got to get my phone out of my bag for the ticket.
Starting point is 02:46:22 Fucking hell. So here we are, we've arrived in Victoria finally. And I'm out. This is it. Back where we started. A Victoria station. Where our day out began. Eli's having a bit of a problem getting through. Is he?
Starting point is 02:46:42 How's that going? And he's through. No problems there. Well what a lovely day out that was. I would give that a solid 8 out of 10 as a day out. We went on trains, we saw lovely people, we paddled in the sea. I like that apart from the excruciating foot. I like that apart from we needed to... Apart from the excruciating foot pain yeah no apart from all that it was all good. So I think... I enjoyed the Valks train. I enjoyed that a lot more than I thought I would as a middle-aged man but it was a jolly trip along the coast wasn't it? Yes very good
