CheapShow - Ep 449: Mumchance
Episode Date: August 15, 2025After far too much time away, fair-weather co-host Ash Frith rejoins CheapShow just ahead of its 450th episode and what an episode! It’s a nice chunky one that throws Ash in at the deep end straight... from the start. They’ve all got a lot to catch up on and it’s been a while since they’ve all been in the House of Sausage and Mash. It all leads to a 40 minute diversion into the sex, drugs and Rock & Roll private lives of comedians from yesteryear! It’s getting censored to F***! After that, it’s time for a classic Price of Shite and, to make things more challenging for our returning guest, Eli’s confidence and ego is off the charts. There is a mix of tat, toys and musical surprises that must be priced rightly and Paul is struggling to juggle his loyalties! One more episode until 450, it’s exciting!

Right, Ash, hello, thank you for coming back to the podcast.
Now, me and Eli have been talking.
I've been involved in this process.
Oh, no.
Very much involved.
Is this an intervention?
No, no, no, no.
This is good news.
It's better. This is good.
This is good news for you.
Great news for you in particular.
So it's been 10 years of Cheap Show.
Yes.
And after all that time and your many appearances, Eli and I have decided, yeah, that
I'm 100% on board with this.
Yes.
Yeah.
That you are finally a permanent.
fair weather co-host
Oh wow
So now you're officially
Temporary
I mean
You won't get put on the artwork
For the podcast going forward
No no no
And you won't put on the website
Yeah
And no
None of the Patreon money
No no you won't get any of that
And you know
You won't be added to any logos
Or artwork
Like an unsure host
Yeah
And if like
It's like a temporary permanent
Yeah
It's a slippery
It's a slippery
Let's just say it's not
But it has
It's like a cloud
It's like a cloud
It's like it's there
Vaporous
It's part of graph
A vaporous cohohoots
permanent vapour as co-hosts.
Oh, I like that.
I'll take that.
Fleslessless.
But let's just say, for example, Eli, if Eli was...
I've got...
I've got...
I've got synonyms for Fairweather up here.
Oh, yeah, please.
Shut up.
Shut up.
I'm just going to say...
I'm 100% in...
I'm bored with this.
But you keep interrupting in the point.
I want to say, if Eli's ever ill or I'm ever ill,
you do eventually, once we've asked, like, Biffo and, like, other people and, like, more
famous people, then you can fill in that...
Prince Harry.
Yeah.
Prince Harry.
Harry.
Well, we've got to go through all the royals before we get in.
That makes sense, I guess.
Andrew?
Andrew?
No, we strike that from the fucking record.
Right, so with all that being said, we would like to welcome you into Cheap Show officially.
Thank you.
And, well done.
Can I come through the door now?
I'll add in.
No, you could do this from outside still.
It's the price of shy
Cheap Shop
Welcome to Cheap Show
Still count that in wrong
Hello, welcome to the Cheap Show podcast
It is episode 499
And with me, as you've already heard,
is Eli Silverman say hello
I'm always here
And I'm 100% involved
In decisions
In every decision making you have
Presentation of the show
Just want to make that clear
Yeah
And would you like to introduce
are newly appointed
permanent fair weather
co-host within certain margins
and caveats.
Dream cloud. The dream cloud boy.
Ash Friff, everybody.
What a pleasure.
Ashley Freeze.
No. Don't do that. Don't do that.
It's happened before it'll happen again.
What an absolute honour.
And I think I should take the opportunity.
Yeah, you should.
To say that coming up to 500 podcasts
genuinely
well
450
500 this time next year
did you not say
499
I think you said
499
you're fucking
fucking number twat
you're such a number
cunt
aren't you
you number fudge
a cunt
I told my wife
it was 449
you know what
I'll get demoted
again
Eli's getting demoted
that Ash is going to get
a new hot seat
I think you did say
499 though
I probably did
knowing me
but 449
Okay, but the sentiment's still there.
Four, four, nine.
Yeah.
What pleasure it is to be here.
I love the podcast.
Genuinely, you guys are like my happy place.
And so it's a pleasure to be here.
And it's a pleasure to talk to the listener.
And it's great to see.
You both perk me up as people.
Well, that's...
Cross your legs, sir.
That's what we say to that.
I don't want to get into that.
Perk him up.
Perk him up.
Yeah.
Will he go up?
He has a direction.
Yes.
That would lead to a long-lasting, um, frog.
you know,
work relationship.
If he always gets a fucking erection.
Think of the reality of what you're saying.
Every time I'm in here, I've got...
You get a massive Johnny on.
I'm happy with that.
Would you invite me back if I sat down
with a massive erection every time?
Well, there'd be an issue.
Depends on how obvious you're making it.
Oh, I'd make it obvious.
I'd be like this.
Is this the first time you've been here since that episode
we did with Richard?
No.
I think I've done one.
He's been in loads of times since then.
Yeah, maybe.
Load times.
I think two or three, yeah.
Now dear.
I made you the hot mess
Cheese on Toast thing
Yeah, that was like
ages
That was like episode
150 or something
He made me cheese on toast
Yeah but he made him
With all that fake cheese
Yeah
Yeah
A fake cheese
And vegan hot mess
I think it was called
Yeah, it was all right
No it was
We all enjoyed it
We all enjoyed it
It had frazzles on it
Yeah
That was cool
Anyway so
He was with us
At the 10th birthday
Sweatathon
Yeah but he said in here
Yeah
Oh that's true
Yeah
But no you've been here
We did
The Britain's got
Talent board game
Yeah you did
Come on Eli
Yeah
Get your fucking out
together, you ignorant, fat, blind prick.
Oh, is that your phone not on silent like ever?
Why is it for a man who never replies to any of the fucking messages I leave him?
You seem to always pick up your phone when you get another message, don't you?
Very quick.
And I'm your boss.
That's twice I heard you refer to him as you being.
Because I am.
I have all these fucking years.
I am.
Fucking help.
I pay him.
You've got mental health.
Yeah, I do.
Why you want to do it?
You said you're right.
Mental health.
You see, he did it as a slur as well to like lessen me.
Make me less human by saying it like that.
I don't know what to say.
I'm on a constant attack from you.
It's because you obviously have a thing against people with mental health
and you think it's fun to make fun of people with it.
This is what he also loves to do is try and make me the bad man.
Okay, so I'm the bad man, yeah.
I'm the bad man.
I've got really retrograde fucking views on everything.
That's why I'm always spouting reactionary views on things like mental health.
I'm so insensitive.
Come on.
Stop spreading your legs as well.
What?
Because I can see your mental health.
Very toxic masculinity coming from him.
Well, we might fucking make better money than that case.
If what?
We're on the manosphere.
It took a very sharp right turn on this podcast.
He might do.
No, we would never, because we have souls and joy and love.
And that's what we're here to spread.
He's pulled it back round.
I've pulled it.
I've pulled it around, back reach around and I've pulled it in a grab this.
He pulled it off, reach around, pulled it off.
Oh, oh, missis.
Spunk, spunk, spout.
Splodge, gobble, gobble.
What's coming up on the show then, Paul?
This is the show.
Gobble, gobble, gobb.
Gobble, blobs, gobble, squabble.
We're in two minutes in and Eli has already gone spunk, spunk, spunk, spunk, spunk, spunk, spook, spunk, spook, spook, spook, spook, spook, spunk.
It's him, he pushes me to it.
No, I know.
He took his time, didn't he?
Are you aware that when you listen to his podcast, it will do a transcript of the audio.
Yeah, I know.
I'll sometimes, it'll be on the kitchen, it'll be in the kitchen work to playing, and my door will go,
what are you listening to?
I go, never you mind.
Don't look at the screen.
What we like to do is confound AI and data harvesting sites
to make Cheap Show un-A-Iable.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Any two fucking cunt stand-ups talking about what their favorite dinner is, right?
Any of that, any computer could fake that.
Pranks and Firth is a podcast that is available.
Right, so how's life been for Mr. Ash Frith?
It's been incredible.
How's your podcast?
Which one do you do now?
Is it the first?
Franks and Firth with Justin at the moment.
I desperately want to do the...
the film one again.
Oh, yeah.
It must be up to like episode 20, 22 or something for you in those podcasts that you're making.
You must be doing like 20 odd episodes by now.
Pranks and fur?
Yeah.
We are 10 years in as well.
You're 10 years in?
But we at exactly the same time as you.
No, we just do it every like non-stop.
Poo-poo.
But what we did was.
Yeah.
And you haven't stopped in 10 years.
We've never stopped in 10 years.
You don't number the episodes?
I don't understand.
Why aren't we having a number off here?
I'll tell you what, we've made a massive mistake.
And we stopped numbering at about 270.
And then when you said it was 10 years, this was 10 years,
I looked on our Apple, you know, where we upload.
Analytics or whatever.
And it's the same, exactly the same, almost to the day, which is mad.
Weird.
That is weird.
And we just do it.
We now do it three times a week, two, one sort of on a Monday and then one,
on a Wednesday, which is a video for patrons.
One on a Friday, this is for patrons.
I didn't realize it was so involved.
Yeah, it's quite involved, to be fair.
But then we've done like some live ones.
And, yeah, we don't, it's a weird thing.
Our audience, we do share some audience.
Yeah, there's about to be crossover.
And this always helps.
You know, people who listen to this tend to come across.
We get a boost every time I do this.
Do you?
Yeah, we do, yeah.
I don't think we've ever gotten a boost.
Yeah, I never provide a boost.
No, no, no.
That's not the same thing.
I don't bring a boost.
Aschens is boosted.
Ashens is boosted.
Oh, Aschins.
Well, yeah, Varsians and Ashton's and stuff, was what led us to.
Even since then, when we've had involvement with him.
Yeah, whenever Stuart pops up, but that's the call the Stewart factor, isn't it?
It's the Ashon's Factor.
Every time.
So I, when I've done, obviously, I do tattelogue with Stuart as well, and we do that live.
And so we've sold out some decent-sized theatre spaces.
And every time, I normally sort of open the show when we do it live.
And I would always go,
watches Tatelogs?
We do it on Twitch.
Who watches Tatelog?
And you'll get a quarter of the room.
Go, Ray!
And I'll say, so the rest of you don't,
because all it is, we're going from an Argos catalog.
Who doesn't?
And then, Ray, much more.
And I'll say, right, who knows Stuart?
Rui!
Who knows me?
Rui.
Like, two people.
We did it in Cambridge.
Like, it's packed.
Did it in Cambridge?
No one knew who I was.
And then I was like, and who knows what this is?
No one.
I was like, what are you doing it and what are you expecting?
We're going through a catalogue.
It is the Stuart factor.
The action factor.
I'm more than happy to be on those coattails
and ride them into the sunset.
No, we'll ride them till the bitter end.
Apparently I've got a role in the upcoming...
How have you? You're in.
See, we don't know for sure,
but I think it's a crazy man at the gas station
who warns the teens away.
I'm desperate, but I was in the last one.
You didn't.
You pulled, didn't you?
I can't face being an actor.
I just don't.
It's not, I can't do it.
I think we had great scenes.
Like, I still very fondly remember.
When I said about the fish or whatever.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Swedish fish?
Yeah.
Fuck.
Swedish fish?
And I had a great time.
I watched it with my kids the other day that.
Oh, the movie itself?
Yeah.
What do they think of it?
Yeah, it's good.
Kids like it.
It's silly fun.
Do they know who he is?
They just watched it as a film.
No, no, no.
They just watched as a film.
As a film.
As a film, it works for kids.
It's silly fun.
Yeah.
I love silly fun.
Yeah.
I love silly fun.
My friend who has two, children.
Children, yeah.
Also said, oh, the kids loved it.
So I got kudos with them.
You know?
But that's, they're going, completely not doing that with this.
That's true.
No, it's horror.
But yeah, so it was silly, wasn't it?
Polybius.
It was like, you've got Jared Christmas who's silly.
Yeah.
Is he on the circuit still?
Yeah, yeah, of course you.
Yeah.
Going about, doing jokes and stuff.
I love him.
I think he's incredible.
Giving tips on a great guy.
It was up and down with me with stand up.
Was he?
But even at my lowest point
I was a limbo champion.
Mate.
Come on that.
I segweighed that in.
I segwayed the gag in.
I think you kind of wasted it
because you rolled quickly into that any real.
I enjoyed it.
I know, but come on.
It should have been more like,
mate,
oh, your shit,
you're supposed to be a low for you.
And then you could have said,
oh, mate, even at my lowest,
I know, okay, I tried, Paul.
I just think you kind of,
You came too soon.
Just to explain to the listeners, we've been having...
Here's what he needs to explain.
Eli stole my gag, wants to pass it off.
And when he did pass it off, he fucking called it.
I was here.
I don't think he stole it.
You only laughed because you knew the context of why.
I asked permission.
I said, can I do gag?
I say, get it go.
As an outsider, I think you worked on that beautifully together.
It was actually really nice to watch.
The two of you working in Harmony,
if this was a writer's room, you made the perfect joke together.
And I know you'd got to deliver it.
But you handed over the rights to that joke.
I did. I sold it off.
You did.
I was like,
Barry Cryer.
Barber,
Babur,
Babur,
make fun of my,
my,
my speech impediments
why I don't you?
It's fun that,
isn't it?
It's fun,
that mental health
and speech impediments,
Mr. Silverman.
Look at you laughing at that.
Aren't you horrible?
I'm not,
it wasn't everybody.
I think everyone has a right
to everything.
Yeah,
you do.
Apart from sound mental health
and a working gob.
Listen,
You and I both know
Reality we help people
who have vulnerabilities in the mental health
We don't like to talk about it, do you?
Well, Eli does just think.
Yeah, he does.
There's a couple of jokes
you both worked on together, really beautiful.
I've worked in writing groups
and that was about as good as I've ever seen it at work.
Oh, that's nice of you to say.
We bounce it back, don't we?
Bounce it back.
Juba jibu-jib-jab-di-bo-bo-bibu-w.
I had a revelation
because, I think it was last,
was it last year of this year?
this year, I started doing some writing with someone.
Oh, yeah.
And there was...
For your stand-up?
Not for my stand-up, for another, for a...
So you're helping them, you're punching up their stuff.
Yes. And I'd never done it like that.
I've worked on people's shows before, I think, but never quite as involved as this.
And I saw, so it was me, two other comedians and the guy who's going on tour.
And we all watched this guy's preview show.
and we'd made notes and then we commented as it went.
And I'd never worked like that before.
And when it started, the first person spoke
and it was the worst thing I've ever heard.
Like, you know, like, they say something in my head.
And I'm like, why have you said that out loud?
And we're getting paid, like, it's nice.
But I was like, oh, my God, that's so embarrassing.
Why has he said that?
And then the next person said something.
I'm like, Jesus Christ, what is going on?
And then I said something.
And then I sort of, I thought,
yeah and I've worked on that
but I'd written that
and I've worked on it worked on it
and then the third thing
like the next thing was said
and we all laugh
and then that gets written down
and then the next thing falls flat
and then the next thing said
and I was like
oh that's like yes anding
but you have to let the shit
come through
but I just had never been in that position
before. You're not actually performing
when you put the idea forward
no you're just going
your workshop you can throw more shit at it
yeah you have to shit at the wool
see what sticks
But I had so naive
I was like
I can't believe
that he's even said
that out of light
but you have to
because it's a different
because you're used to
like whatever
being on stage
yeah yeah
that's the thing
you don't think about
saying something
let's just give an example
of that
I'll go with the precinct
no please
and then you've got to
improve it
and then Ash has to make it
no
oh God
oh God
the pressure
about this
even at my lowest point
I'm still a limbo
champion
yeah there you go
I think
it was really beautifully done.
What was the other joke
you worked on together
really nice thing?
I don't know.
I can't remember.
Did you remember?
Did we do another way?
Yeah, you did.
Because we were basically
talking about the
comedy fringe
gags of the thing.
We were riffing on that.
The jokes of the fringe,
which says,
moved home.
Moved home.
But apparently it's all done
beforehand and it's all,
it's all not very...
Yeah, they've also...
They're not actual jokes.
No.
They have to appear on the fringe
or they're just a list of jokes.
Well, that's the point.
Yeah, some of it,
you go to your PR company
and you say,
so they will go to the
newspapers and say here are their jokes they've submitted and so you'll sometimes get the joke of
the fringe announced before the fringe starts or the the lineup of it is announced before the
fringe starts which is ridiculous because it's like saying go see this person whose best joke
we've already sport for you out of context of this show yeah that's true but also in terms of the
awards like I'm not saying every year but a lot of the time you know who's going to be on the
nomination list because they're the person who are being pushed or you know there's that thing so
it's a really odd industry.
Edinburgh Fringe, burn it down.
Burn it down, start again from scratch.
We need to burn it all.
I know someone has already tried this year.
Someone tried on Arthur's seat.
Yeah, someone started a fire.
Arthur's hot seat.
Perhaps they were doing a writing thing.
Perhaps they were doing a hot seat session on Arthur's seat.
You could say it was hot.
No, no, you come up with a line.
You come up with a line.
Arthur's seat.
More like, oh, author's seat.
Oh, you come up with them.
Ooh.
You said it.
I think that fire must have burnt some dog shits up there
because that's a poopy smell of that gag.
They're not all buggers.
You said it's the hottest ticket in town.
Oh, yeah.
I'm saving that for you.
You could have nicked dick.
No, I would never do that.
Why not he does?
Eli walked in and said it and then went,
oh, uh, uh, like I was going to say to.
We were talking about Jim Davidson, weren't we?
When?
How?
he nicked his whole act off that guy
The chalky voice comes from Jimmy Jones
Jimmy Jones, I think it's Jimmy Jones
They still talk together
Yeah, of course
They still talk together
Is Jimmy Jones dead?
No, maybe
He must be
Well, maybe he's now
But like they share the tour
They share material
I won't tell you the name of the person
Go on do you beep or is that
I can beep out
Yeah
I'll leave it out
Honestly I will beeped out
If you use the name right now
Okay yeah
As long as it's not a pain for you to be pal
I'll beep out when you say
Paul Daniels
Oh well you know the Paul Daniels
story anyway
Yeah, I'll just not put that story in in that case.
You can put that story in about Paul Daniel being a racist.
I think we've already put that story in the podcast.
We've gone on about it.
So, yeah, my friend was, so one of the old school chameleons, you know, you've got your Mick Miller.
Oh, yeah.
You've got...
Boy, Jimmy Browns.
Yeah, so this old circuit, they are still going to like seven or eight of them,
and they'll go to seaside theatres where they're like 2,000 seats.
And they're selling it out.
Yeah, of course.
So as much as you might go, oh, these guys are racist, right wing, or, you know,
You know, it's a thing back in the past.
They've still got a massive audience.
So like it or lump it, they're there and they're earning money and they're doing great and people
love it.
Yeah.
And so one of them, Roy Walker, you know, from catchphrase.
Is he the one I can edit out the void?
No, no, no.
You can leave Roy Walker in.
He's poorly.
It's good, but it's notary.
Yeah, that's what they were saying about his medical results.
That's why he wasn't at this game.
Oh, yeah.
He's in the ground, isn't he?
Roy Walker's dead.
I don't know.
I don't know.
No, he's not.
Roy Walker is in the ground.
Paul, look it up.
I think Roy Walker's still doing all right.
He might be dead.
You look it up there while you tell the story.
Go on.
Mr. Chips, digging a cold of the ground.
Yeah.
Oh, is it digging a grave?
Yeah, is it digging a grave for yourself?
No, it's Mr. Top.
Wanking off.
Always.
Dill-l-l-l-l-l-l-er.
Is it six feet under?
TV show.
He's walking about it.
He is still alive.
Roy walks.
Pulls on fire.
Lug off his fucking seat.
Yeah.
So Roy Walker's had to pull out.
So they contact my friend and say,
do you want to come and do these two shows down on the South Coast?
You get put up and the money is phenomenal.
And he's like, yeah, yeah, definitely.
So he goes down and like stay in this hotel
and he's with Jim Davidson.
and Mick Miller and Duncan Novell, all those guys.
Oh, Chase me.
Exactly.
I didn't know he had an act to still do.
Well, they're doing the same act.
And so then they go, their limo comes to the hotel to pick them all up.
And in gets this comedian.
This name, well, you can name them and I will cut it out, I promise.
Oh, yeah, it is, yeah.
Working at the festival this year, I read a review.
Really?
Okay.
So he gets in the car.
and they start driving and he says, right, can I get some Coke?
And then, so Jim Davidson then goes, no, you can't have any Coke.
There's no, we're not doing Coke.
They're all like, they're 70s.
He's like, no, there's no Coke.
And then so he says, oh, when I perform, I need to have a bit of Coke.
And then Jimmy Davidson says, no, like, none of us are doing Coke.
No one's doing Coke.
And they're in a limo together.
My mate's just sitting and I'm like, this is the most surreal thing that's ever happened.
So then this act then says,
says, if I don't get any, I can't do it.
I can't go on.
So then Jim Davidson says, well, then you're not going on.
Like, A, there isn't any, and B, I'm not having you do any.
So he goes, okay, well, if I get to the venue, I'm going to try and get some.
He's like, the venue is full of octogenarians.
There is no cocaine on offer for you.
So he says, stop the car, I'm getting out.
Wow.
So then he just, they do, and he does.
He just gets off, gets out, goes back to hotel, refuses to do the gig.
And then so Jim Davidson goes along, and he's meant to be hosting the three.
showed him,
Jameson,
he ends up
doing 40 minutes
to cover for
the missing
act, yeah.
Absence,
yeah.
Because he wanted
Coke.
But isn't that
crazy?
No,
he's at the
Edinburgh Festival.
Yeah.
Do it off his
tits on Coke.
Yeah,
but what I find
surprising about that
because usually if
you're into Coke,
yeah.
The whole point is you know
you've got a,
you've got a number
and you've got other numbers
in your phone,
you know where you get it.
And you get it in time.
You need it.
Yeah, but he's saying
he's out of his
element and he's in a part
of the world
and he gets on the night
take it down with you.
And you take it with you and you don't mention it and then you think you've got
just the irrationality.
I just love the idea of these 70s, 80s comedians like up the elephant around the castle.
You've got, yeah, big break.
You've got Mick Miller, whatever he did.
All of them.
Davidson, although I think he's a fucking piece of shit.
He is a good pro.
Obviously, was able to cover, you know.
We call it the, well, forget.
They call it the Manning Gambit.
where it's like no matter what he said
no matter who he offends
about how vile he is
like yeah but he's very good
with a microphone
that is absolutely true
and again
it doesn't excuse it
but it was of its time
it's wrong and we know it's wrong
but at the time
no one was telling him it was wrong
it was incredibly popular
he's being booked on prime time TV
on all the channels
he was made a multi multi-millionaire
his ego would have been rubbed
he would be given it
especially by the BBC or whatever
given whatever he wanted
and there is no shadow of a doubt
he was an extraordinarily good comedian and presenter and presenter yes that has those skills just
have nothing to do with being a bigot no exactly that exactly that yeah but and also being a
bigger in a time where that was all laughed at yeah so i guess it is difficult because although
we can all go you should change and grow it made him a millionaire and he was told how good it was
his entire career yeah yeah yes but then he was placated in all those elements to to make him
mainstream.
Yes.
And here's the thing.
This is what makes me
laugh the most
about this whole
fucking weird
generational argument
of comedians
where there's always
one generation
coming in
and making the
older generation
look out of place
or outdated, right?
So Manning,
Davidson, all those
Jimmy Jones,
all those fucking characters
at a certain point
they realized
the tide was
turning in terms of
their
acceptability with
mainstream audiences.
They weren't
getting on TV
enough because all
the other comedians
like the young ones
were coming through
and fucking Ben Elton
and Fryen Lorry
and that was
reseting the
the landscape.
But what they did,
and I don't think they realized,
I don't think it was necessarily
something that they thought through,
but it was like to suddenly go,
you can't say that anymore
as a reason for why you can't get work,
quickly became a reason why you can get work.
Because they can say,
well, we're doing this kind of true comedians tour
because you can't say this anymore.
And then the audience is there for it
because the audience,
we've had everything they've wanted all the time
can now go see it with the whole sense of,
yeah, I'm right.
It just works as an economy.
Just keep going.
There's a weird thing of this.
like there's a pro comedy night in London
which is like unleashed or something like that
and it's like we're saying the things you can't say
you can say whatever you want
you're just going to answer to the...
Some truly awful fucking things heard
instead of a standoff.
It's just a regular gig, an open mic,
an edge lord comedian saying this and the other
I have never been to a gig
maybe not all the time
but I certainly had never been to a gig
where the organiser at some point went
no mate get off the stage you can't say that
no no no never
the only time I have seen it is where it was
It was another Muslim comedian, Jamali Maddox.
And he said, I'm Muslim.
And they went, get off, get out of it.
That's the only time I've seen a comedian actually censored.
And it was by the Free Speech Brigade.
He did nothing offensive.
He just said he was Muslim.
Well, identity itself.
And he went, I'm not leaving stage.
I won't.
And he sat on the stage.
And when his time was, I went, and that's my time.
And he went off at that point.
He sat there.
It was absolutely fucking brilliant to watch.
But you could say what you want.
You've just got to live and die by your actions.
I always think, like, go and say those things and see how they go.
Yeah.
Because you might, I can't say anything.
Go and say it, see if they laugh.
Yeah, but that's the thing, isn't it?
It always comes down to, if you're writing that thing and you're going to say
from an audience, do you stand by it?
Yeah.
In one way or another, do you stand by what you say?
Because yeah, it's a joke and whatever, but what do you believe system?
Is it something you're just throwing out for shock?
Because then if they turn around and say you're a prick, then what's your argument?
That's a really good point.
It just keeps getting worse, though, doesn't it?
Yeah.
This whole narrative saying,
free speeches under attack
when they've always had it
and they continue to have it
yeah
it keeps getting
what they're saying
is we want to be on the TV
and then we'll let us anymore
yeah yeah
it's like when I see stand-up comedians
become talk show presenters
and it's like
are you going to go right wing
and that's exactly what happened
with Mark Dolan
that's insane
but if you do do that
then you know
the pigeons are going to come home
to roast aren't they
eventually and that's obviously
not right to get docks
or threatened with
no no no
obviously but you don't want
you understand why it happens
if you're prepared
to just drop your
principles.
Just for money.
Yeah, yeah, that's true.
Yeah, yeah.
Mate, mate, pigeons.
Right?
Hold on, here we go.
Here we go.
I mean, that's the problem with pigeons.
That's why they sit on a fence
because they're both left and right wing.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you everybody.
I'm here all night.
Joke the fringe number three.
That was actually a callback to our history
at the French.
Yeah.
That was the first sketch we did there.
Yeah, it was Graeme's.
And what was it?
It was shit.
Awful.
Graeme, if you're listening, it's coming out now.
Right, we're going to move on with the show
Because otherwise it'll just become
Yeah, I know
This is our cold open
And it's exactly 28 minutes
So we're moving on
I need to take something
I need to say something
Oh go on quick
I'm sorry
It was just because I know you're going to move on to something
But I want to say this
I was thinking I was listening to last week's episode
You're going to apologise to what you said
You act
I just want to apologise
The terrible things I said
You were talking about
Obviously we heard your radio show
From when you were a student before
Me and Richard Sandling
Friend of the show
If I may be so bold
we used to record radio shows
when we were like 11 to 15
we had characters
and all of that stuff
recurring characters
and he might have cassette
of those
I don't know
he seems like a person
who might have held on to them
well save them for your own
fucking podcast
I thought you'd like them
well yeah
but you're saving for your own podcast
we had a character called
the pilot
and Richard said
oh
I think we should see
we should get this on man
I'm telling you
if you find your crazy tape
we can do a whole bumper book of them all right that's such a long shot but yeah but anyway look
it is off an hour in let's get actually into the episode to the price of shite
it's price of shite he's dead he's dead everyone all right you finally got your position now
we're within the show you can or you first act as co-office I'm still alive it's Roy
Walker all over again now now before we get into
to this. I just need to give you fair
warning, Ash, I'm on the
hottest of hot streaks. Yeah.
Hotter than Arthur's seat. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I am after it burnt down.
I love it we get topical for the podcast.
We stick with it. And a year from now,
no one's going to make any contact on. That was. That was.
Yeah, it's not tropical, isn't it?
I... I'm hot.
I'm on the hot streak.
I'm pet swings. I've got
pet wings. I'll think, I will mention
why Paul's writing. Just a little peep behind the
of Cheap Show, they actually
stop the recording when they say
we're going into another section.
I've just, I don't know those people I've never really observed
that. You actually press a button to stop it
and then... It's his whole control thing. There is a break
between the bits. He's editing it in the future
in his mind as he's making the podcast.
And then it goes like this, shut up,
pressing the button. That's why I always say fucking press
the fucking press the button. He said... He has to decide
when to press the button. You think
oh, I'll just do another bit. No, he's pressed
the button already. That bit's gone forever.
Stopping it.
He also,
listener,
does the thing
where it goes,
right,
we're going to start
recording in three
and then holds up
five fingers
and goes through
four,
three two one of
dusty bin,
what's it called?
That'll be three to one.
Yeah,
he's going to be there.
You slow that down,
I've seen it.
It's just a mess,
he's just doing that.
And everyone used to be
like,
fucking that was great.
He's mad.
Do you think
when he was in bed
with a lady,
you think they always said,
oh, come on Ted,
give me the old
three,
two one.
And he's like,
Ted Rogers,
I know he does.
Oh, he's got all the salacious
ancient comedian goss
Yeah
And they
Is he still war
He's not
No he's dead
He's in a dusty bin
He's in a bin
He's in a dust ashy bin
God that'd be depressing though
If like you hate dusty bin
But when you die
You are carried in a
You're a main age out of
They should have
Do you think it's weird
Like if you play a character
And that character
Get you like you know
Like the crankies
They were sex people
and still are apparently
What was that thing we saw
where Jimmy was trying to do a different
catchphrase
or something
didn't catch on
Abidubi daisy
We're trying to just squeeze in a new one
Like later on in their career
What was the one?
What was the one?
Fandabi doze
Yeah it was like
Abidipidavidazi
Oh was this recent or is it like
Oh it's like in the 18
They had their own kids show
Abacadubah
Yeah so they love sex and stuff
But don't you think it's weird?
Like, if you play a character
and then someone wants to have sex with that character,
like, would that, like, the Chuckle Brothers,
because apparently one of them was like a sex guy, wasn't he?
Have you not heard the story?
Like, well, look, this story up about the service station,
Chuckle Brothers.
Oh, dogging.
No one.
No.
So there's this story.
Again, it might be apocryphal, but I think it was in the news.
I'm getting odd.
He got clouted around the head with a wrench in a,
service station car park because a guy came back to the car and found one of the Chuckle
brothers having sex with his wife in a car. I'm like, how has that played out? How has that possibly
happened? I know how it played out. He heard in the back seat to me. To me. To me. To me. To me.
That might be salacious. It is salacious. Well, it is salacious. How do you get at a petrol station
with your wife going on just getting a sandwich? And then come back and they're having to say how's that
How can you? That's like a dream nightmare.
Yeah.
That's not like a real thing that happened in real life.
Well, it's a bit like, you know, James Eckaster's girlfriend left him for Aaron Atkinson.
Yeah, that's depressing.
And him just going, well, I can't even be angry.
She went off with Mr. Bean.
How do I move on?
How can you be angry?
There must have been a bit of an age gap there.
Yeah, it was a bit of an age gap.
Yeah.
It's disgusting.
But how can you even, it's like, oh, well, that's just ludicrous of that happened.
So I just accept it.
At your door at home, you pop out, you said,
I'm just going to go to the shop and get some milk.
You come back and your wife's in bed with Rod All.
What do you do?
You don't know what to do.
There's somebody up the door.
And it's this orgasm.
And then from between their legs and the emucus.
What was the witch?
What's the witch called?
Scrot bags.
Grot bags.
Oh, she died yesterday.
What?
She died ages ago.
What?
Years ago.
No.
She's Gary and Margo Lis.
No.
She was at the fringe, Margalis.
Oh yeah, she's fine.
She's pointing out who you.
knows at the fringe. Margulies is at the fringe heading up the older comedian contingent.
Sex people and comedians go hand in hand. Because Stuart Millard does it in one of his videos where
it's like Wayne Dobson comedian while he was ill or something in a room. It's like, so Bobby Davo had
sex with Wayne Dobson's wife while Wayne Dobson was ill in another room. And you know what?
That's the worst thing I hear about Bobby Davro today. It'll be a shocking, shocking, shocking turn of
events. Why are they all doing it? I don't know. They're all on tour. They're all on pantos.
I was fucking giving it the beans to each other.
I was in a green room once and Shane Ritchie said,
hands up if you've ever had sex with a Nolan sister
and put his handoff because he was married to a Nolan sister.
Oh, my God for that.
And we all laughed.
And then he went, hands up if you've had sex with two Nolan sisters.
What kind of opening gambits that?
Well, it's just to break the ice.
Isn't it foy?
Is it a bit funny?
I don't want to know where Shane Ritchie puts his cock.
Now, if we're going to look at actual reasons for this.
Yeah.
Right.
Don't you know the highest,
rate of like STDs
are in these
retirement homes
Yes, because a lot of the time
you end up in a retirement home
your partner, life partners
in the ground
death partner
Yeah, maybe
who dead partner
And then you haven't got that long
I do Daisy in the next unit
You can't just pop into Daisy's unit
When you say do Daisy in the next unit
Do you mean bum sex?
Well, the next unit
becomes euphemism
You know what I mean, not Daisy
So I was in the green room
A different green room with
Yeah
Oh no, shall I?
Shall I leave his name in?
Come on, we love this.
So he said, he invited my wife to go with him to the British Television Awards
because he was like, oh, I've got to go to the British Television Awards.
And my wife was like, oh, I'd love to go to that.
And he went, I've got a spare ticket, come.
And then he said, last time I went to the British Television Awards,
I ended up sleeping with, and I will ask for this to be edited again.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, so he said,
And then
was in the room
And he went
I
The British TV awards
And it was like
And then he said
He said
In
He said
She loves a comedian
She's also done
We need to get to one of these
Fucking award shows mate
I would
Leticia's not my type
I don't think
I could be nuts deep
In an East end up
Right
Let's do the fucking
Let's do the fucking
price of shite.
Okay.
It's the fucking price of shite.
It's the fucking price of shite.
It's the fucking price of shite.
It's the fucking price of shite.
That's right.
Right.
You know how it goes.
Petwings are points.
How to, Eli, how does Ash get petwings?
Well, Petwings are the points in this game, Ash.
You want to score as more.
Petwings as more as possible.
Ptwis possible.
As most as possible.
As possible most.
You're like your knee.
I've got slightly clicky knee.
There we go.
You're not in pain.
I'm not in any pain.
No, I'm just going to stretch it out.
I don't want to kick the table, all these wires.
Yes, have a stretch there.
Now, done.
We'll be guessing a number of, uh, is this a bespoke price of show?
It is.
It's been formulated by a P.O. box person.
Maybe you read it and then we'll talk about the scoring.
Yeah, so do that.
Yeah.
He knows the scoring system.
You're telling me?
I know.
I thought it's for the listener.
I know.
They know as well.
No, we need proof that you know.
Otherwise, your offer will be received.
How do you score one particular?
How do you score one particular?
swing how do you score one between one per twing by getting within three of the three points of the
price bang on three points three points three pen three this is no 25 points for bang on
25 p either way yeah yeah two the actual price it earns you a between one per twing but then if you
get it bang on that is a double between two between you get two betwiings okay that's it
when i say 25 points i meant pens you said three points yeah so why the way the way
It was kind of a bit embarrassing
It's really embarrassing
And three prices.
Three prices either side.
I would...
I would quit every week.
I would quit now, mate.
You're just digging deeper.
You know?
I've listened to 498 episodes.
It feels like you've done more than this.
I mean...
I'm not getting into it.
Right, here's the letter.
Here's the letter.
Okay.
This comes from David and Lisa in Norwich
who's said us things before,
so thank you David and Lisa.
Hello, cheap show lads.
We've made you a little.
low-budget price of shite price match edition.
Oh.
I love it when couples listen, didn't you?
Yeah.
How do they...
No, no, Paul.
They fuck when they listen to us.
I know, I bet those two things.
Right, enclosed are a set of price tags
for each of you to pair up to the items.
Wasn't what I was going to say.
That's what you need to be aware of in that you'll be given prices to match to items.
Okay.
So we're going to be guessing our own prices.
I wonder what those little clear plastic baggies were in here, nice flat.
There is a quid game.
gambit in the mix, kinder.
Though we decided to give you price tags
as the prices are so low,
you wouldn't go 25p either way,
with the whole shop coming to
£2.80. The whole shop.
The whole collection. That's the roof,
the ceiling. So between...
We cannot betwing, because there is
nothing... No, you can betwing,
but it won't be based on
a 25p out either way.
What about three point out?
Don't walk into the podcast,
499 episodes in.
And then
slapping rules down
Anyway, so the whole thing comes to
280
There is also a three item
thrown in as an extra wild card
That we found in the car park outside
Don't worry, we've cleaned it
Do you remember when you found a tie
You did a...
Oh, I found a tie
Oh, was it you?
It was lying by some shit
No, not lying by it
Lying on it
It was white dog shit though, wasn't it?
No, it was kind of like a kind of
You just found a time
But I still live
Have I told you?
Oh, this is another story
I don't know if it's time to get into it
Well, you found some poo
Remind me to tell you the thing I found in the street
Should you save it for the patron?
Yeah, they save it for the patron one.
Right, so here's the scoring
Maybe one per twing for a correct answer
And two pet twigs for correctly guessing
The free items and or quid's gambit
Okay, so you match an item up, you get a bettwing
However, if you guess the quids gambit
And the free item, they'll be two betwings, all right?
Okay, but there's one of these cards is what has one pound on it.
I presume so, yeah.
These items are purchased
The quid scambit.
The quid scambit?
Yeah, I would like
It's cheap shows offside rule
If that makes sense.
I have heard it
But I can't remember what it is.
It basically means
If an item is a quid
And you guess it as a quid
Oh yeah
Yeah, I'm in a minute
But because of the frequency
Of one pounds are that
Yeah
I don't want it to seem like
I don't want to be
It's the biggest between
All I listen to this podcast every year
I want to make that absolutely clear
I hate it when people come on a podcast
And then they go
Oh no, I don't know
I do know I do listen
I'm not somebody who does
listen.
Sorry.
The items
were purchased
from a recycling
charity shop
near the Norwich dump
hence the dirty prices.
We've got one of them.
We've got one of them now.
What does that mean?
So you know
when you take stuff to the dump
and it's not actual rubbish
they will collect it up
and put it in the shop
and sell it for charity?
So we've got a
Marie Curie one at our local dump
and it says
Marie Curie Recycling Shop
or something.
I haven't never seen that.
Have we never heard of this?
I got the other day.
I went in there
and my son
repair, oh, you know him, Owen, he's been on the show.
He's a big boy now. Yeah, yeah, he's 18. Crazy.
He repairs Xboxes and Game Boys and all this.
Went in there and they had two original Xboxes there and I was like, how much for those?
He goes, well, what do you think? Like, what do you want to pay? And I went, I don't know, tenor?
And he went, no, that's too amount, like a fiver?
Yeah.
I went, oh, okay. You've got no guarantee they work at all.
No, well, they didn't work and he fixed them.
But I mean, that's fair.
All the labor that they had to put in.
Yeah, yeah.
360s are notoriously prone to failure even early on
and it's like they had the Red Ring of death
and everything like that.
Yeah, yeah, so he managed to sort that out.
They did have that.
But also, yeah, they had some, my little son
is really into these like Batman toys at the moment.
They're little, like, play school, I think it is Batman figures.
He's well into it.
And they had two of these back caves and they're awesome.
And I just didn't know whether they were five or each.
But I'd seen one in a charity shop the last week.
And it was 15 quid, the same thing.
and then I just didn't know if my wife
was going to tell me off
and just bringing tut home from the...
You do what you bloody like.
No.
Right, let's see some tut.
Right, so blah, blah, blah.
There's a few things here that
because he also gave us a bunch of vinyl
within the collection.
They aren't part of the price of shite.
That's a separate collection
that we'll go through in a Patreon video or something.
These guys are great.
But like hinge and bracket,
Derek and Clive, that stuff.
And then the sweets,
which we're going to do for the Patreon.
And that's it.
As always, keep up the good work.
your podcast is a beacon of light in these dark times
and that's from David and Lisa in Norwich.
Is it still dark time? Are we still in dark times?
Are we?
Yeah, and possibly getting worse.
But we are the...
We're headed towards a new dark age.
They live in Norwich though.
It's sweetness and light in Norwich.
It's beautiful place.
I love it.
The prices are in this envelope.
I had to open them up so I could see
what out of the box was a price of shite item
which is why I won't be playing it.
It'll be you against him.
That's why I had to warn you about me being on the...
You've got a hot streak.
Absolutely fine.
Shall we begin?
I'm like Highlander two.
I hope you destroy it.
I hope you destroy it.
I hope you destroy it.
I hope you destroy him.
Right.
We're going to play the game price of shine.
No cheating.
Shut up.
That full shot.
He's going to try and cheat on your behalf.
Yeah, might.
Would you accept that?
I don't want that.
I don't accept that.
I'll be like, how much you think?
A winkie, winkie.
Like that.
Give me my price tags.
In a minute.
Gannon says when the game starts.
Gannon says when things happen.
You little.
maggot, you sit there
and you fucking do as you're told.
Or you don't get your money.
How about that?
Who was the new character you come up with last week?
It's called Angry Paul Gannon.
No, there was like...
Was it Rodney P. P. P. P. P. P.
Yeah, William Pee Pee-Pinus. Yeah.
He was good. He was a good character.
He's not coming now, because now
has got any kind of problems with their dick.
I know, but I'm thinking of got it with another doctor for arseals
just to mix it up.
Johnty Knob smell.
No, you got Johnty Knob smell.
I really like Jonti Nob's smell.
Paul, can we get...
I'm going to...
My new doctor's called Dr Howard Ars Ars Arse's Ars, Ars, Ars, Ars, Pooh, old tits and wank.
Is he German?
Yeah, he is.
Right, let's move on.
But let's forget the game, to catch the button.
I haven't pressed on the buttons.
Here we go.
Price is right, here we go.
Right.
Let's see item number...
Can't we have the prices yet?
How are you going to do this?
Shut up!
Right, I've got the items.
Now, this is the first bag, and that's Eli.
They're all your prices.
Yeah, they're all identical.
So what's going to happen is I'm going to show you these items.
You don't have to attach the prices now,
but these are the prices that you will attach to an item.
What are these bags for?
Screws.
The little bagging is you can put anything in them.
Screws, plastic binds.
Plastic binds, I know.
I always need somebody to put my plastic binds.
These guys are going to be furious because these ones say Paul and yeah, they're not.
going to Paul.
You got Paul's ones.
Yeah, but I know that, but they didn't know that when they sent it in.
That's the thing.
I feel like.
It's okay.
You're just a proxy pool.
A proxy proxy proxy pool.
So I've got a 50p.
Lovely handwriting.
Yeah, I've got 60p.
Yeah.
50, 60p.
You're going to read them all.
A 5P.
Have you got these as well?
Yeah.
I've got eight pound.
No, you don't.
If you're going to start, if you're going to be subversive.
Oh, there is a one pound for the quid's guy.
Yeah. So, oh, I've got it for the free.
A free.
One of these items was found in the garage, not in the garage, in the car park.
Yeah, I want a free item.
Whoever wrote these, thank you, because it's actually calming me to see your beautiful cursive.
Right, here's the first item.
I'm going to hand it to Ash first because you always get stuff.
Here you go.
Here's the first item.
It's a badge.
It's quite a hefty badge.
It's a new, oh no, it's an old fashion with a pin on the back, which is like, I don't like pins,
but that is a good one because now you get them and they've got a clasp.
And you've got to, like, bend your clothes and click this place.
Because people are scared of poking a child with a needle,
which I'm all for, because I think it's fucking stupid.
You would poke anything with a needle.
Well, it says Piggy Fest.
It says Piggy Fest.
Piggy Fest.
Also the name of Eli's Sex Life.
Come on, it's Piggy Fest.
Paul, sex lives don't have names.
I don't say, hello, I'm Eli Silverman.
And my sex life is called Johnny.
No, it's like, you can...
What's my sex life called?
Piggy Fest.
My sex life, a journey with Piggy Fest by Eli Silverman.
When you're in bed with a lady, you just go, come on, love, it's Piggy Fest.
And you go, oh, wrong, rom, wrong, wrong.
It's like a purple pig.
On the badge, it says life begins at 20 with a little biplane up the top.
It's a birthday badge.
It says...
Piggy Bay's birthday badge.
This sounds like a cheap show character.
On the hot air balloon, I think it says,
fruity lemon house
I can't read what it says
I don't know if it's my eyes or
anyway there's Elvis
wow I want to see this badge
it looks like Frankie Valley in the Four Seasons
but they are
I think dead
the Beatles and Abba and some tents
Oh there's loads of groups on it
Fruity Winehouse
Fruity Warehouse
That's the name for a bum hole
Well there's a thing here that says
Piggy Fest
It's what the fucking AI says, so who knows.
Piggy Fest appears to prefer to several different events and concepts.
It could be a festival organised by the Piggy Brewing Company.
Additionally, Piggy Fest is mentioned in the context of financial saving and a mini car.
Yeah, I guess.
Mate, stop using AI on.
I am, it's shit.
But Piggy Fest.
This looks like an actual fest of some sort.
Do you know what this looks like to me if it is an actual event that this is commemorating?
Yeah, it's some kind of outdoor festival.
But it looks like these groups are obviously too famous to really appear
and a lot of them are in the grounds as well, as you say.
So it's probably a festival where they get a lot of those tribute acts.
There's a whole circuit, isn't there?
A whole massive circuit on the live music scene of tribute acts, isn't there?
My son went to watch an Oasis tribute the other day
and said it was absolutely brilliant.
And I think that's the way to see Oasis now.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
It'd be better than them.
My friend used to be in a Oasis tribute band
and people would try to have sex with them like they were the members of the band.
groupies, whatever.
Because it's almost the same thing, isn't it?
That was item one.
Now, you don't have to think about the prices yet.
Again, you can attach those at the end once you've seen all the items.
Here is the next one.
And this one will go to Eli first now.
Eli, there's your...
He's added me the item.
I can see it's a clown in a...
It is a ceramic...
It's a ceramic headed clown
with a soft fabric hat and wig and scarf.
But the body and indeed the vehicle
and which it rides are ceramic.
That is fucking horrible.
It's a nightmare.
It's badly painted.
I want this.
Of course.
I collect stuff like this and I have someone who's actually at this moment
trying to reassemble a collection of incredibly horrible, tacky ceramics.
Is that Mark?
Is that Mark?
I've still got, well, my daughter's still on this.
That goes in the nightmare gang too.
That is what the fucking does.
Look at the paint job.
The face is haunting.
My daughter is.
still got the rabbit that you gave her.
Yeah, the little, that's similar to this,
but it's a beautiful little rabbit figure out
when you've got like four boxes.
Oh, those ones, yeah, those are better than this.
That's a better mould than that is.
What is this bit supposed to be?
That's it lying sort of a supine program.
Its arms are out. It's arms are out like that.
No, it looks like its legs. Is it?
No, it's his arms. You're right.
It looks like it's arms.
No, no, no. There's a hand. That is its foot.
I don't like it.
Why is his leg riding astride the bonnet?
But why has it got...
So that would be the front.
Yeah, because that's a spare wheel on the back, isn't it?
That's the wheel on the back, but that's its hand.
I think whoever painted it didn't understand what they were meant to be painting.
No, no, no, yeah, that's right.
That is...
It looks like they had a stroke during painting it.
Hold on, this is all back to front.
Yeah, it's done wrong.
It's been painted incorrectly, hasn't it, as well?
I'm wearing a little tartan scarf.
I don't know if you mentioned that.
Part and scar.
It's a fabric scarf.
This is...
Gross.
Anyway, return it to me because...
It's really gross.
We have a lot of items to get through.
Yeah.
That's shit.
It is a piece of shit.
Yeah.
Right, that goes there.
Right, we'll start with the smaller items
and we'll get on to more girthy things.
You haven't started recording again.
I have. I can see it.
He always, he did it yesterday to me.
I came out of a great song.
A great song.
I came up with a great song.
Oh, I didn't record it.
He couldn't stand the glory.
Although it was filmed for the camera.
It was filmed on the camera so it doesn't exist.
He couldn't stand the glory going for me.
Oh, oh, I've lost it.
Moment that I could break free.
Just for reference.
A moment that would go viral and then I could break free of this podcast.
This is the thing. Do my own thing. Do my own show.
This is Eli once again, re-contextualizing facts and history.
But it was me that kicked it off.
And then you just jumped in 20 seconds later and took over it.
We went on a little ramble.
And they went, I'm the best person in the world, me?
I'm sorry, I didn't hear anything you just said.
Right.
Now, these are two items, though, and I'll give you at the same time.
But I'll give you one, one, and you, the other one, all right?
I don't understand that either.
Two items, two prices, but I'm giving you them both at the same time separately.
Okay, these are separate items.
And then you can swap them.
Ash, what have you got first?
Oh, no. I've got a cheap, small, plastic rhinoceros.
I mean, it's a key ring, but the ring comes out of the rhinoceros's mouth.
Yeah, it's haunting that, isn't it?
It's got pointing up ears.
It's about two inches, I would say.
Is that two inches?
About an inch, two inches.
rhinoceros, preposterous.
And let's get my torch on it again.
He was getting his torch out again.
He's going to see if there's any markings.
There is any important markings.
It might help with valuation.
China.
It says...
It's a common marking
on that kind of item.
It's a little keychain rhino thing.
I've just checked under its tail for a bum hole.
It is a little rhinoceros.
It's not a particularly good one.
No.
Piece of shit.
Right, Helo, what have you got?
I have one is my favourite item of the game so far.
Oh, really?
Easily, yes.
Oh, look at him.
This is Rupert the Bear, and he's in a little red riding...
Not red riding.
He's riding in a red car.
He's in red a red car.
It's a little riding.
He's riding Red Riding Hood in his car Ridinger.
Red Riding Hood's nowhere to be seen.
She'd have to be in the actual car.
In the boot.
Giving him a blowy.
Red Riding Hood is giving Rupert the bed.
As he dropped his trousers or as he just popped him open?
You can't see.
But Red Ridinger could fit in there because...
Because what?
That's an unsavory idea that you formulated there.
Come on.
But no.
Is this one of those sexy Red Riding Hoods that you've seen in like costume shop?
She was 18 and legal.
Little Red...
I'm looking at a toy here.
It's got nothing to do
with you or the one who said Red Riding Hood.
No, you did.
No, no one's thinking about Red Riding Hood.
I said riding in a red car
with a hood.
Rupert the Bear riding in a red car.
Riding Red Riding hood.
It's a red racing car.
That's what I wanted to say.
It's a number one red racing car.
Racist Rupert the Bear
riding his red racing car
riding little red riding hood.
You know what he calls his knob end?
He calls it Rupert's Red Riding Hood.
And he fucking...
Josh is a red racing car.
it all off his fucking car.
This is very disappointing, isn't it?
It all gets matted.
The spunk in his fur gets matted, and he has to scrape it off,
and it all gets on his fucking scarf.
Why aren't you pressing the button now?
It's so weird that they...
Oh, mate, I haven't recorded this.
I don't know.
Tart and scarf.
That's what links it.
Because he's got a tart and scarf in real life, Rupert the bear, doesn't he?
What do you mean that's what links it?
It links to the last item, the clown item.
Okay.
Because he's got a little tart and scar.
And they're both in cars.
Weird.
So wait there
Little Red riding
On a little red riding
A little red riding car
With tart and scarf
Is half a carff is off
Whatever
Half his seat
Off his seat's on fire
With half a scarf
Half a scarf scarf
I'm not gonna
Yeah swap it
Oh we did
Oh that is a piece of tut
Isn't it's a piece of tut in it
That is a piece of
Tud
And he's got number one
A lopsided number one
On his car
Which indicates
He was the champion
The previous year
Well it's sort of like
A side car layout
Isn't it?
This is a cheap
cracker.
It's not bad.
Come on.
What's your favourite item
you've seen so far?
The badge?
The clown.
The badly painted clown.
He's got number one
and he's back as well.
That's good.
That's a quality item
that Rupert in the car.
The wheels go round.
That's important,
isn't it, if you owe a car?
I have to say, what really ruins
this rhinoceros
is the ring through its mouth.
Yeah.
Where else are you going to put it?
The actual mould
in the paint, not bad.
Where else are she going to put the ring,
I just don't do the ring at all?
He needs a fucking key ring.
He needs a rhinoceros.
Would you have a rhonsus.
Would you rather have a toy rhinoceros
Or a key ring, rhinoceros, key ring?
Toy, definitely.
Yeah, 100%.
Fucking.
People don't know they're born.
Two more items are coming your way now.
Just so you know, we've got the windows open and the fan on.
So if you hear extroning your sound, then that's those sounds.
So the first time there's been a fan below the desk at one of these recordings.
I wish.
Oh, fuck that, love while I'm doing me material.
Come on, mate.
Come on, love.
Oh, dear, poor.
Oh, dear.
Dear indeed.
Give us one of your tart and scarves.
Oh, hello, thank you all.
You're something you wanted to say.
Piggy Fest.
You were about to say something about Piggy Fest,
which is where Eli has sex.
I don't remember.
Next item.
The listener will remember.
Fuck them.
Next item.
I like this item.
I love this item.
This is a good item, this.
I'm going to give it to Ash.
Because you look too eager with your handout and it was pathetic.
I lent a way to get drinks.
I'm just in your jokes, me.
Fuck sake.
Look this.
Oh, it's a mug.
Oh, it's a lovely mark.
It's a spaghetti, Heinz spaghetti mug.
Yeah.
On it, it looks like there's a sticker on it,
but it isn't.
It's part of the design.
It says free from artificial colours and preservative.
Brilliant.
Doesn't say preservatives.
Oh, because maybe back in the day there's only one preservative.
A little update on the Heinz products.
They're now doing Carbonara in a can.
Oh, yeah.
Carbonara is having a moment.
This is made just up the road.
It's having a moment.
moment in noodles as well as actual carbonara as a dish.
It's having a monomence, is it?
A moment.
A moment.
It's having a moment.
And did you know, Paul?
I don't.
Let Ash talk about the fucking cup.
That's why I gave it to.
If I wanted to talk to you, I'd give you the cup.
So did you know this?
What?
So this is made in England, H.J. Heinz Company Limited.
Yeah.
Middle sex.
Yeah.
That's not far from here, is it?
No.
Middle sex doesn't exist anymore.
No, yeah, it's gone.
So this would have basically been middle sex.
around here, wouldn't it? It would, I think. I'm now a bit further up north. Yeah, yeah.
It started. But, um, Middlesex, of course, was absorbed by the greater London boroughs in 67, I believe.
67, it just went away. And all that's remaining is a cricket team. You have like Middlesex Town Hall and like, yeah, a lot of stuff. Like I say, just sort of 20 minutes drive north of here is when the Middlesex stuff starts to start.
It just went away, just a place that just went there. Was it, a county? A county. Disappeared, yeah.
They just got rid of a county. Yeah, Middlesex, yeah.
You've got to be aware that your county can just go.
Well, it's because tiny.
That's because it's because of the expansion of London.
But it's not uncommon.
Like, for instance, when I grew up,
the Wirral was both seen as Merseyside and Cheshire.
But they changed the postcode from like M for Merseyside to C.H for Cheshire.
So my postcode, back in the day, they used to be M, whatever, whatever,
and then it became C.H. whatever, whatever.
So it was just one day we were suddenly not Merseyside anymore.
So that's the opposite.
That's sort of you're escaping the city.
But imagine the metropolitan area of the county, basically, yeah.
It was a county that disappeared.
Like that is, was we're all a county?
Was it just a town within a county?
No, well, where was the whole of that landmatch between Liverpool and ways?
So I guess that's a county.
They just went, we're taking that away.
Yeah, yeah.
When was the last time that happened?
I don't think, no, I don't think it's happened very much in history at all.
It's the peculiarities of London and the huge growth of London at that period.
The Essex could be next.
That's a really nice cup.
It's too small.
That's average size for a cup of tea.
It's on the small side.
It's nice.
Spaghetti and tomato sauce.
They've changed the design on it now.
I always like mugs that are shaped like cans of food.
Yeah,
because this is what it looks like a kind of can.
Shaped like, I mean, most mugs are shaped like cans of food in a way.
But when their artwork is purposely made to look like the design of food products.
I agree.
I agree.
And I don't know why.
I like that as well.
I just wasn't, I wasn't trying to be picky.
You are, though, because you keep using the wrong way.
You knew what I was getting at.
I know, but if you said that, if we went through life just going,
oh, they knew what I was getting at,
you just gesture and make fucking mouth noises and things, wouldn't you?
And then you go, yeah, all right, he must mean hand me the chocolate.
Unchip, why have you punched the mic?
He's angry.
He's getting actually angry with me.
Have you done spaghetti, a cheap eat of the different spaghetti?
We have not.
We did beans, different types of beans from cans.
We could do that.
But I don't think there are many other companies doing.
like spaghetti or spaghetti hoops.
You always get the supermarket owned.
Next time I'm here, let me do spaghetti.
All right, okay.
I love for it.
I love for it.
I love it.
I just want to say one more thing about Carbonara.
They're doing Carbonara in Heinz cans now.
I think you said that.
And do you know when Carbonara dates from?
When do you think they invented Carbonara?
How can I drag the conversation over to things I know?
I just find it interesting.
Yeah, no, tell me.
How can I wrestle the conversation to be the most important
Can I ask, what is carbunara, cheese and ham?
It is, no.
A real carbonara is made with pancetta, which is...
Everyone needs this fact.
It has to be panchetta, by the way.
It has to be panchetta.
There's a lot of arguments and there's a lot of people, you know, Italians who get offended.
What is it panchetta?
What is it?
It's bacon.
I'm okay.
It's Italian bacon, right?
Use that and you use an egg.
No one wants this.
Well, crack an egg into a pasta sauce?
Yes.
So it's just simply that black pepper salt.
and it all, it sort of emulsifies onto your spaghetti.
And that's a real, is there no cheese?
I'll take it out of the podcast.
That's a carbonara.
I just want to say, what.
Is there no cheese?
And then you put, yes, and sorry, there's cheese as well.
So it's an egg.
I know what cheese you need.
The exact cheese you need.
Do you know what cheese you need?
I'm going to say mascaponi.
Peca Rane, Peckeratour.
Got a cheesy pecker.
What was that?
What was that?
Pecarino Romana.
Wow.
And so I do know some things about Carbonara.
And people who listen to this fucking podcast, Paul,
are interested in noodle and noodle-adjacent things.
And there ain't nothing more noodle-adjacent than spaghetti.
You could say it was a form of a form of noodle.
You could very well give that argument.
Unless anyone else brought it up in which case you would find the reason
why it wasn't a noodle in any form of respect or side.
I have one other little anecdote to tell you about Carbonora.
I'm waving his little arms around, like a little despot.
Well, because you keep attacking.
You keep attacking.
You have to use these rhetorical devices to,
get my own
fucking info.
Sounds like
right ring
rhetoric to me
right ring
wet ring
wet ring wetteric
like a white
wet ring
rhetoric
like an oven hob
is that like a
I'll give you a wetter wick
is that like a
he did a
wanking gesture
I did yeah
I'm going on
the wet wild
wetter wick wits
anyway
right so
all the speech impediments
are coming out to die
yeah
it's fun that
they're being mocked
and made fun of
my mate's
boomer mum
right
your mate
bumed your mum
My mate's boomer mum.
So he said,
they were having dinner or whatever.
Yeah.
And he said,
oh, did you know Carbonara
was invented in the Second World War?
And his mum said to him,
that's absolute nonsense.
I was in Italy in the 50s
and they had it then.
Such a boomer thing, isn't it?
I love that.
But it was actually invented as a thing.
She was like, absolutely not.
You know what I mean?
That's what I'm saying.
Well, that was a lot of,
lovely carbonara chat that was.
It's a nice mug though, Paul.
Oh, add something to it.
It's a mug and it's yellow.
You haven't even mentioned it's yellow.
You know how you can see this is actually a quality mug.
It's got the maker's mark on the bottom and it is
Kilncraft, STL, England.
I don't know what the STL is.
Kieln craft.
It's nice.
On raised, Kilnkron, Paul's giving me a look like he's lost me.
Is it a faux par to put Tarasolotta in my Carbonara?
Is it?
Is it a faux par?
Is it faux part to put Marce Solata in my Carbonara?
It is.
You don't put Taramarsalata in carbonara.
I want you to know that KilnCraft are still going.
Yes.
And also, they...
Look, this is KilnCraft.
You'll recognise some of their classic.
Oh, that's nice.
They're in 70s.
That's very 70s.
Yeah, a nice way.
Oh, I really like those mugs.
What a lovely bunch of them.
This is a nice item.
Nice item.
All right, give it here then.
Get on KilnCraft.
We've got a few more to get through.
There's still more items to go.
Still more.
One more from this bag.
least, I'll just get this one out, because this is a book, and I'll read it.
It's a yellow book without a sleeve, so we will never know instantly who the secrets it
belongs to.
But I can tell you, it's called Terry Wogan's Bumper Book of Toggs.
What's a Tog?
Tog was a...
Something of Wogan.
Something of Wogan.
Like, he used to call his listeners Toggs because they were something of Wogan.
They might even tell you in here, actually.
Wouldn't that be a towel?
Terry's old geeseers and gals is what Toggs.
Hello there.
I'm Terry Wogan
and you're listening to me tugs.
I'm togging right now.
I'm talking myself on air.
Togging off.
I'm togging myself off.
He would never do something like that.
You see his cock and balls, though,
on his point of view.
He's perked up.
There's a famous picture of Terry,
I'm spitting.
There's a picture of Terry Wogan
when he was doing his points of view segments.
And he's in a chair like this one,
sitting down.
And because of the way he's sat,
his fucking cock and balls are jotted right forward
mate it's a hog he's got a hog hog wogan's hog is a to hog it's fucking you i know it's not on
to um i'm gonna look it up i know it isn't guys i'm gonna look up uh wogan's hog i know it isn't
it's driven you mad that i talked about carbon on it someone's not to google during the show
why didn't he do that someone should have told him his full hogs on display it's full
fucking lump it looks like a fucking block unit hog it's like a u square hog unit
Yeah, it's like a fucking meat cube
It's like a kind of weird middle class
fucking mancalangelo
Mycalangelo's David
Hello, I'm mancalangelo
I'm mancalangelo
I'm a shit artist
I'm mancalangelo
I thought it's me David
Mancalangelo
It's a book
It's a book
fucking involves
Assonant is outside of my fucking purview today
It certainly is
There's a preface that
Terry Wogan says here
having spent endless years on television
presenting Varroko's award shows
It's not that endless
They definitely ended
Well no they did for him eventually
He worked very close to his death didn't he
Because he was on the radio
Oh right up until his death
Like I think he did your revision
Then popped off a few weeks later
Another extremely talented
TV presenter
Yeah they mocked by Paul
Whiffled down to nothing
But he's giant cock
By Paul Gannon
This is a rambling preface
Where it's full of
We don't need to hear it
No
The Togs this book wouldn't
Here we go.
Wouldn't be disgracing these shelves without them.
Radio 2, between 7.30 and 9.30 every weekday morning would be quiet as the grave.
It presents us sitting there in front of the microphone.
Mum chants.
I've never heard that word before in my life.
Mum chants.
Mum chants.
M-U-M-Chance.
Mum chants.
The togs are my inspiration.
My constant joy in the reason for getting up in the morning.
And then this book, I think.
M-U-M-M-as-in-m?
Yeah.
Mum chance.
Mum chants.
What the fuck?
I don't know where that word's come from
But it's...
Mum chance it says here, Paul.
Mum chance.
All one word, mum chance.
Put it in.
Put it in the machine.
I'm going to put it in.
Oh, oh, it means...
This is new.
It means tongue-tied.
I've been a bit fucking mum chance today.
This is the Mum Chance pop cast.
You've been everything chance.
There go, the podcast.
Bum chance.
Anyway, pump chance.
Is it anything of a note in there?
Because let's just fucking move on.
This is a book simply for Wogan fans, I think.
And it calls back to things said.
He was huge though
So you say Sydney for Wogan fans
That is a
Oh no he had the biggest breakfast show
For that time slot
Even compared to Radio 1 and stuff
And his own
Here's a story about the big breakfast
I was
I was doing a tour with a comedian
Who said that he was on the big breakfast
And two of the hosts
One of the hosts were saying
She couldn't sit down probably
Because she'd been having anal sex
With Jamiroquai all night
Oh God
Oh, God.
That's true.
Someone sent in some, dear Terry.
Imagine Jamiriqua Pandaguay.
Oh, no.
The cat in the hat.
With his big hat on doing this.
Sliding about all over the place.
In his fucking Ferrari.
Dear Terry, before the ills, before the saga of ills go away,
here's a couple not yet mentioned.
So this is apparently old age.
He's in Essex.
Essex person, isn't he?
What, Jamirquite?
Yeah.
Is it?
It would make sense.
Well, the person that he was bombing is always.
also an Essex person.
So there you guys said, you know,
they probably needed to be in the vicinity.
Do you think Bumming's really popular in Essex?
Is that why they get the phrase
the only way is Essex?
Is that where it comes from?
Yeah, it means the only way is Bumbing.
So she'll fuck you, but the only way is Essex.
I'm the most excited I've ever been
is seeing that person in Hollywood's Rompford
on a night out and just being like,
that's that person.
I don't know why I was so excited.
They were just there.
Nothing was happening.
It was just like, I saw them.
This book is impenetrable to anyone
who doesn't listen to his radio show.
Well, let's move on.
I'm trying to skip through to find something
fun and it all makes no sense there's articles and just random bits and letters and it feels like
he must have gone through his scripts of five years of his radio show and you're just about to
release an album yeah yeah but it's full of original content how full right you were going to get a free copy
you can fuck off definitely one right what i'm just talking about people talking about
impenetrable items from their show and it coming out of your mouth feels like imagine someone
tuning into episode 499.
Yeah, 499.
Just going, what's happened?
Up to this point, they'll be going, what's going on?
I'll just leave it with this.
A listener sent in a joke.
Well, it's not even a joke.
It's like you have to guess the film.
But unfortunately, I don't get this.
Let's see if I can guess it.
It's a little script.
Footsteps.
The door opens in a German accent.
The door opens in a German accent.
Yes, it does.
Are you in there?
A door opens, then you hear a voice, German accent.
Are you in there?
Nine, okay.
Door closes, footsteps, door opens.
Are you in, sir?
Nine, okay.
Door closes.
Footsteps, heels, click.
I am sorry, mine, Capitan.
And that cannot find him anywhere.
Oh, I thought it was going to be Anne Frank.
No, the answer.
I know he's just half searching.
The answer is,
Schindler's lost.
Oh my God,
that can't be a Schindler's list.
Oh,
sorry, I'm sorry, that's not,
that's not from the book.
That's not from Wogan's book.
That's from the paper's gag of the fringe.
I've read the wrong one out there.
I apologize.
Can you just say, that wasn't really in there, was it?
Yeah, yeah.
Shindler's lost.
They've not printed that.
Yeah.
They're printed it and then I said it out loud.
Hang on, when was this book made?
Like early 2000s must be.
how was there a market for this
and how's that joke making it
in a Terry Wogan book
Shindler's lost
Oh, 96 this book first published
When did Shindler's this come out?
93-94
Same year as Jurassic Park
Yeah
How is that joke got through any copyrighter
And they've not gone no Terry
That's in bad taste
There was another one here
For some to do with Reservoir dogs
They let that go in
Someone would have gone
Are you sure about the Shindler Lost joke
And Terry Wogan would have gone
Yep it's fine
Hickory Dickery, this is a poem someone sent in
Hickory Dickery Doc, the mouse went up the clock
The clock struck one
But Rensicle would not come out in the middle of the night
That's a joke of the fringe, 26
Hey diddle, the cat and the fiddle
The cow jumped over the moon
The poor thing had mad cow's disease
Yeah, okay
This is atrocious
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And had to wait three months for an NHS bed
Oh I can't believe it
Dream of three months these days
Right
Christ after that high octane segment
So how long have we been slagging
off the NHS for?
Forever.
Since it was
committed to
since it was formed.
So that whole thing
oh it's not what it was
it's falling into rack and ruin
what's 1993
they're talking about it
being in trouble then.
British Rail train prices
we've been complaining
about high high they are for years
blah blah blah
NHS saying with that
fucking European Union
joining that
they were complaining
the minute we joined it
back in the day.
Nothing ever changes.
We might be living
in some sort of cycle
that we have nothing to do with
or this is 984?
You know what we need right now?
Soft, 1984.
Yeah, it is.
It's really bad.
The 80s 2.0 is what we're living through right now.
Hey, do you know what we need?
We need to change your tone.
We need to get sexy in here.
All right.
I think it's time to get sexy.
Get erogenous.
Because the next item...
We're going to get well erogenous.
The next item, we're going to get real fucking erogenous on your ass.
I don't want to touch it.
So we're going to go right now.
It's going to get...
Make that clear.
You need to make those boundaries clear and on air with him.
Yeah.
So yes, no touching.
Not even a little tog.
I'll tog you both off
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
Right Eli's getting his little sound burger out
And that's not a euphabism
But he's putting on a record
That was sent to us from
Our lovely suppliers of CheapTat today
David and Lisa and Norwich
Mr Ash can you please read out the cover
What you see
And tell people more about what this is
Here you go
Oh, yeah, it's getting sexy
Erogynous, the mystical, the mystic moods
Erogynous, the mystic moods
Yeah
And on the front cover
Don't play yet, stop it, stop it
On the front cover, there are two naked people
Oh yeah
The word erogenous is across
What I presume would be this lady's nipples
Tits
He looks like he's about to kiss her
On the tip of the nose
Yeah, sexy
He's gripping her left hand in his
she's sidled up between his legs
potentially squidging against his penis
They seem to be looking at the back here
There is like a sink or something
Like they're in the bathroom sitting on the floor
They're sitting on the floor in the bathroom
Have you ever had sexy time doing that?
Not in against sort of the porcelain
No
They're right down there
Not on the rug
Right can I name the song
Where Piss Splash goes
I don't want to have sex
We're Pish Splash Goes
Well
Spitter Spitter Spitter
If you're in the real mood
I mean you lick and suck on
Where Piss comes out
but you're in the mood, didn't you?
But if I'm in a dirty alleyway,
I'm not going to feel very sexy doing it in there.
No, but some people do,
and why would you judge people
who have different proclivities?
Where's the filthiest place you've had sex?
A toilet.
That's why I lost my virginity.
Thank you.
End of argument.
I thought you got to say,
I thought you got to say your own bedroom, frankly,
because that was all...
It's like a toilet.
Go home.
You go home.
I'm home, mate.
Sorry, go on.
Should I name the songs?
Yeah, it could quickly go through
because one of them
we were recommended because he had sex sounds in,
but then we found a better
track when we were listening
ourselves.
There's at least two
better tracks.
Yeah.
This is,
they are legit.
They're like a
legit group who obviously
because of circumstances,
whatever,
have been pushed into making
some kind of, you know,
love making easy listening record.
But they can actually,
I mean,
I feel like just playing that one track.
Number one is called
Your Place or Mine.
Number two.
Yeah, yeah.
We're going to be able to be.
We're going to be able to be.
I'm going to be able to be.
I'm going to be.
I'm going to be.
I'm going to be.
I'm going to be.
I'm going to be able to be.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Yeah.
Oh,
Yeah.
Oh.
We're going to be able to be.
Oh!
We're going to be.
I don't know.
Right, go on, Mr.
Mr. Ash.
It's erogenous an album by The Mystic Mood.
It's really great music.
Like, standard of music is very, very great.
Yeah.
The musicianship's high, yes.
Very good quality.
It's a lot of thunder and lightning.
I feel like they're a legit group.
This would be my guess, that they were a legit group,
but the record company says,
look, we're going to make a record as a sort of easy listening,
like love making, you know, like, I do have a slight problem.
We can't fix that.
just wanting to put some cream on it.
I,
what kind of music would you say it was?
Like you said...
Like sexy, easy listening.
It's what they used to call R&B.
Yeah.
It's...
And you said, like, you could have some funk in it.
It had that song itself
with like a pop soul song.
Yeah.
They're sort of Southern Soul, funk.
But it is easy list.
It's marketed very much as an easy listening record.
Yeah.
To fuck to.
And the inclusion of a lot of atmospheric rain
and storm cloud stuff
that's also an easy listening thing to do
it's weird though you wouldn't do that if you're like saying
here are a bunch of songs that we're proud of
yeah you know it's marketed
over the top this is almost like a concept album of like
it's marketed as an easy listening sort of put it on
when you've got a date back and it's for making love to
is it weird
I just looked up the band
yeah and it's just white guys
oh yeah
well it's pretend black music
no no let me tell you it's on Wikipedia they have
a Wikipedia page it says
There are a group known for mixing orchestral pop, environmental sounds and pioneering record recording techniques.
It was created by audiophile Brad Miller.
The first Mystic Moose Orchestra album, One Stormy Night, was released in 1966 through the label Phillips.
Throughout the rest of the 60s and 70s, they continued to release similar style recordings,
and they would be reissued throughout the 80s and 90s.
Now, I'm wondering if this album was originally called One Stormy Night,
because the whole fucking thing is scored with this thunderstorm.
storm. It's just another iteration. They obviously
said that's sold, so let's put a storm on this one as
well. No, because
I'd be like, all right, mate, you did your storm for the last
album? No, but they don't care because they didn't
have an identity. It's just to sell to people
you know, that whole of that whole
easy listening. Oh no.
There's another album called Stormy Weekend.
Yeah, exactly. That's their whole stick. Ludes
for a stormy night. Yes, that's their
stick. Another stormy night.
That's the stick. That's the stick.
Stormy memories.
Stormy Daniels. So they also founded
mobile fidelity sound with the goal of releasing
audiophile quality pressings of existing music
so they upped the quality of vinyl recordings
so they were releasing like you know HD vinyl
essentially including half speed mastering of the
use of high quality vinyl yeah half speed mastering is a big thing
that people talk about these days so would that improve the quality then
half speed mastering does improve the sound quality they say
audio files say also what they sometimes do
they'll put an LP and they'll put it on two discs and they'll put it at 45 RPM faster
because that somehow improves the sound quality as well or something.
I just can't believe it's white guys.
I mean, I'd have to check the discography.
It's interesting as well because they're making all these albums
with just kind of music and orchestral things
and then weirdly being obsessed with Stormy Nights to go through all their albums.
But apparently, when they got bought by Warner moved to the Warner label,
the musical content shifted to mellow covers of current hits.
and Warner's modified the packaging of all the albums
to make sure there was no mystery
that these were records to serve as the preamble
or accompaniment to sexual intercourse.
That was their whole...
The 1974 release, Erogynous, came with an inner sleeve
that, when pulled out, showed a naked couple in soft focus.
Oh, that is this.
No, no, no.
There's probably meant to be a ruder picture inside
and we've been...
On a lot of the covers...
On a lot of covers that I've seen of this album.
It's different, yeah.
It's cut off.
You just see them...
We've got the racy cover.
You can probably see a pulsing vulva in the picture.
But there's no mention of the
recording artists.
No, but that's it. That's what went on in the music industry.
I know what we need to sell.
Sexy soul music.
I just find it, I find it funny that
people talk about these days
like an AI music library
to help you concentrate or something.
So you put something on, you know,
and it's AI generated.
This is sort of a similar thing.
It's music for a purpose
that isn't listening to the music sort of thing,
you know?
It's just there.
It's doing a job.
music and stuff but it was and I find that stuff quite kind of liminally satisfying easy I'm getting
more and more into easy listening as I age basically from that period but don't you think like now
if you did there'd be no money in that anymore no it's really strange that that was a he probably
made fortune knocking this out and it's good quality it's fun it's nice it's sexy whatever but now
if you do that you go oh what do you do and it's like well like you'd make no money it'd just be
this thing that you did in your bedroom you can literally get an AI just to produce
stuff if you want background sound or something now i mean there's a lot of ethical questions and
stuff around that yeah but it's it is music that is serving a similar purpose yeah but now it's just
gone evil there was people who got paid to make those records that took three six weeks to make
and they sounds great now what you have now is Spotify going get an AI to pretend to be an artist
and sleep music is the big thing where they rip you off right it and you have a sleep playlist
stuff full of non-artists
AI that just gives
that just gives money back to Spotify
Yeah
That goes on all the time
That they've produced
Put me hand up
Yeah see it
You're boring and I want you to shut up
Isn't sleep movies
Isn't that bizarre
Where you go
You know when you're not listening to Spotify
In those six hours
Seven hours you get to sleep
So use sleep music that we've made
Yes
And it's a huge thing
It's a huge thing
And it's a huge rip-off
And you could instead
Listen to Cheap Show
Let Cheap Show
Go to bed
weird thing that happens.
I fall asleep.
Yeah, the whole of cheap show,
which is going to be available soon on other platforms.
Oh, really?
Yeah, oh, we're thinking by 450,
it'll be available on YouTube music finally.
Now, Google are by no means not evil,
but they're less evil than Spotify.
They're mostly evil.
But Spotify, the guy is literally investing in war drones now.
Yeah, no, he's evil.
He's in the music business.
You know what I mean?
He's, yeah, in AI killing machines.
He tried to buy my football club.
Raining death from the sky.
You have a football club?
football club that I like.
Ash United.
We're right there.
This is the Spotify guy
try and buy it?
He tried to buy it for
two billion pounds.
He's such a fucking
massive turn.
I think we just need
to kill all billionaires.
Just kill them.
I was talking to a comedian
the other day and he said
I can't remember
how are it coming back
but he goes,
imagine if we get to a day
where it's like the billionaires
are like we are leaving
earth.
There is a like this spaceship.
Remember last week
they were saying there's a spaceship
coming to a fuck towards us or whatever.
And he's like the billionaires
pull their money
and they get on.
on this ship to abandon Earth.
They're like, fuck you!
And they fly off.
And we go, thank fuck, we got rid of them.
Yeah, right, there we go.
I mean, that's literally hitch like his guide to the galaxy.
Yeah, yeah, that's what I said.
Yeah, did you.
But that's the whole fucking...
That's the whole fucking point.
As soon as you bring up, maybe we should tax the super rich at a higher level.
Everyone goes, oh no.
No, they'll flee.
They'll flee.
Well, fucking great.
Get them out.
They're fucking ruining my life for their here anyway.
And they're not paying for it as well.
And they don't pay.
They're not paying with that.
So, oh, then we should be.
Because they create all this, well, no, they don't.
They steal well from everyone else.
I know.
I know.
There's only one successful way of trickle down economics, and that's listening to Cheap Show.
Trickling down your legs from your asshole.
When you get excited and you get, it all comes down out of your legs and bum-ole.
I feel like I've got in tune with you guys out.
Yeah, dirty bum-old Willie driples.
Triple Willie bum-drops.
Now, one last point.
So now-day,
So nowadays, music industry can avoid.
Are you still roaming on about this?
can avoid the actual
The love and work and expertise
that went into making these records
even though they are kind of a femoral way
I've stopped it
I've stopped the recording so
He hasn't he wouldn't
I have because I was tired of this
Can you move on now?
He hasn't stopped it
I have
He would never would
I'm tired of you
He wouldn't do that
See what he does
It's like gas lying
And he thinks I mock mental health
You use it
You use people's poor vulnerabilities
In their mental health
Yeah so textually
Not outrightly
To manipulate me
Yeah I do it
subtly and cleverly.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think you can describe anything you do as subtle.
Sometimes clever, but never subtle.
Oh, that was a compliment.
Oh, yeah, I'm going to take that as a compliment.
Ah, you fucking idiot.
Right, we are going to move on, though.
And this one is called Ronnie Barker's Unbroken British Record.
We don't have to listen to any of this.
We do.
We have to put A track on, so Ash, I have an idea.
Let me tell you, is it good shape?
He's all right there.
Like, you would think Ronnie Barker was a...
Did you re-sleeve this for me?
Do you mind if I offer you the sleeve and you put it in?
because I don't want to hurt your record in any way, shape or form.
Hold that for another second.
Just a very, yeah, just a very, very brief thing.
Ronnie Barker in the UK, a much-beloved comedic writer and actor known for sitcoms,
such as porridge.
Was he a writer?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, big writer.
I know, because I remember reading something where people would say to him, oh, I love porridge or whatever,
and he didn't write porridge, did he?
No, he didn't write porridge, no.
Or, um...
No, he didn't open all hours either.
That was, frenay once this, what them never...
No, it wasn't those.
Horridge was frenay in it.
Yeah, yeah.
And they're still alive and going, which is bizarre.
Yeah.
They wrote fucking lines for things like Crimson Tide and Bad Boys.
They were writing punching up scripts like that.
I know.
Phrenet, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah.
Ian Lefremant and Clements.
Yeah.
Ian Clements and something love fronet.
I've got a porridge novelisation at there.
Yes, I've got it.
It's amazing.
Have you read it?
Yeah, yeah.
Got it.
But, yeah, he got annoyed when people would say that they liked that thing that he didn't write.
Right.
But he was frustrated as a writer.
His book is called Everything I Wrote or something.
You're right, I've just remembered.
The two Ronnie's, he used to write that stuff.
He wrote all of that.
There is a kind of yes and no to that because yes, he did get stuff on the show.
But he used to think that some of that material was below part.
And the only reason it got on was because he wrote it.
So then he would create a pseudonym called, I think, Gerald Wiley.
And he would write sketches as Gerald Wiley send them in.
And they get accepted and he'd be much happier because it was like, well, they don't know I wrote this.
Because he thought he was highbrow, didn't he?
they did silly the worm has turned and stuff like that but he thought because i guess he's
privately educated as they all were and i don't think he was i don't honestly don't think he was like a
plummy type he's like a north londoner he strikes me as someone that might be a sort of you i don't
know from north london i know you are the thing with ronie barker is he liked that kind of british
seaside humour he did like it yeah i've got a book of his about his collection of postcards and
flyers and you know um he's in good shape that's a man in good
shape. Yeah, but still I think
I think the whole definition of what makes
someone fat was a lot less
was a lot less fat than back then.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely. He was
a fat guy, like he was known as a fat guy.
That's looked like a fat guy to someone there, but to
us, it looks like someone who works out.
Yeah, look at his arm. Bruiser.
Yeah. Just so, just to clarification.
I bet he was hard. He began acting in Oxford
amateur dramatics working as a bank clerk
because he dropped out of higher education. Then he moved
into Repertory Theatre and then he started
doing acting and got a job with the Oxford Playhouse
and started being in place.
But he wasn't a posh boy, not really.
Yeah, but he was like Oxford Review or whatever.
No, he wasn't part of the Oxford Review.
He just got into Repertory Theatre.
He dropped out of higher education and he was a bank clerk.
The bank clerk's very middle class.
And these glasses he's wearing.
They look like I haven't any glass in them.
Well, they probably might not have for the photograph
because they might have caused glare,
so they might have said take it out.
Very good.
But this album is a collection of sketches he wrote and songs he wrote,
also under the name of Gerald Wiley.
And some of them are old standards, old favourites,
that he's on a mega mix of.
What we have in?
Whatever you want,
because some of it's spoken word
and some of it is a music.
I love porridge so much.
When I got home last Wednesday,
I was feeling rather queer.
A little out of sorts you'll understand.
I found a little drinking house conveniently near,
and I went in with me threpancy in my hand.
The bar made she was six foot two
and every inch a gent,
with a figure like a well-made double bed
What can I do for you, she said
And on the counterlent
And I stared into her feather bore and said
They tell me there's a lot of it about
They tell me there's a lot of it about
Some get it here, some get it there
I've just seem to pick it up any old where
It's definitely on the increase
Of that there is no doubt
It's not a thing that you can put your finger on
But there's certainly a lot of it about
Good evening. Last year I spoke to you appealing for help for those who, like myself, have trouble with worms.
They can't pronounce their worms properly. Now, I am the Secretary for the Loyal Society for the relief of sufferers from Pissmanunciation.
Now, the reason I am once more squeaking to you tonight is that many people last time couldn't understand what I was spraying.
So I'm back again on your little queens to strain it and make it all queer. It's a terrible thung to be ting-tied.
It's even worse when your wards get all mucked up and come out in wuckersay that you dick-knock what you're thonging
Like I did just then, only crutch much nurse.
So, yes, Ronnie Barker, a word smith, very much doing his comedy.
I think he likes his, you know, malpropisms and his spoonerism.
Well, that's all, that's, that one we listened to, was all about...
Because he has a character, which was a vicar that mixes all the words wrong mispronunciations.
That track was called Piss monunication.
Well, well done.
I couldn't say that.
I found it very difficult to say.
Piss mononunciation.
Prismonunciation.
Pismonunciation.
Pismonunciation.
So there was one bit where we all laughed
But it's so weird
Like what happened between
There would have been people rolling about
On their two up, two downs
Or whatever you would call those houses
And they would have been rolling around laughing
Oh my God, that's so funny
And they'd have listened to it as a family
And then we listen to him
We go
What the fuck is this?
What happened in the world?
You can see he looks faster on the back cover
Doesn't he?
It does look like all right now
We're not talking about his content for this album
I have a question
Which you can, just for the record,
you can tell that this is fed into the two Ronnie's machine
and back out again.
Because what I think what this album suffers from
is the live audience element
to help sell the energy of the humour
because I imagine what sounds kind of dry
and not as funny in the record
is better with a live audience.
Because he can build on that hysteria of laughter
of the mispronunciations and stuff.
I think it's something you lose in comedy albums
when you take something that you're used to doing
in front of an audience and then stripping it away just the album.
That happens a lot.
Yeah.
That does happen.
It's why the best comedy albums were either live recordings
or they've been formatted specifically for...
Why would you ever...
Yeah, like the Python albums?
Like the Python.
Why would you ever not do it like that?
That's the thing like knocking something out
thinking you can just do a performance as live is crazy, isn't it?
But also, when we did our album,
it was just like, here's a punch of music together,
but let's just put some linking devices
so it's not a completely inhuman compilation.
Yeah, it's not a radio show all that.
It's a hybrid.
It's a different thing.
It's a different thing.
It's a different thing.
And then you've got the live.
thing where it's like here's my live show you can now listen to it at home and I like the idea you know when it starts it's like this like this was recorded in front of the live audience that I want that's what all the all comedy records were for years and years and years and years it's only in the 60s that you start to get things like pie 3 yeah well they have more of a concept yeah but also cheaper and easier and you just go into a studio and knock it out no but then there are people who will just go in and say I know my set works I'm going to do it in a recording booth dry and leave every moment that's always a mistake and that's not like what's happening here but with certain
monologues in here you kind of go
this needs a laughter track and it also
needs this was a thing that Ronnie
was known for his monologues is
Ronnie he's not Corbett Corbett
So I
My favourite comedian is Norm MacDonald
And oh yeah
So he was just about to do another
Netflix special
So he got signed up to do a few
And then he was dying
He knew he was dying
He never told anyone he was dying
So he recorded his
His last stand-up special
Just sitting like this basically
with a camera on him there
but he was about to go into a hospital
he went to an operation and he died in hospital
he was about to die
and he recorded it because
and he never got the opportunity to do it live
but they still put that out
like they put it
and I was I never watch it
like I don't ever want to say it's not
and I think he's so funny
but I just don't want to see that
yeah I can't see that
my question
yeah sorry says producing coordinated
by John Schroeder
that really familiar sounds really familiar
I think even that guy was a figure
in the comedy scene.
John Schroeder.
They did operate in sort of tight circles these guys.
I'm sure he's like a well-known comedy producer,
BBC producer or ITV they were with.
John Francis Schroeder was a British pop
and easy listening composer, arranger and songwriter
and record producer in 1961.
He won an either noveller award
for co-writing what song Mr. Silverman
since you think you know everything.
That we covered.
We've covered it, right?
We've talked about it.
I don't think we have.
I mean, we may have,
but we're not talking about it in depth.
Is it that one, Lillipi Lee won?
No.
It was Walking back to happiness.
Walking back to happiness.
So, like, you hear about that, the Ivor Novella Award in 1960.
Why don't I know who won the Avernavella Award to any 24?
They're still going.
Yeah, so that's what I mean.
Like, what does that mean?
Like, why is that just gone?
It's like the charts.
All of it is sort of just been subsumed by the culture of the mobile phone.
Weirdly, a lot of his albums just,
It seems to be weird, like music, just music albums, easy listening.
He was knocking stuff out.
He did piano vibrations in 71 with Rick Wakeman.
Billin vibrations, Latin vibrations, love vibrations, parties, dance vibrations, TV vibrations.
It's just easy listening, slop.
And then he can knock that out in a week.
Schroeder, yeah.
Gangster movie vibrations, which is very niche.
I want to have that record.
I really want that record.
And he did all of those between 71 and 72.
Schroeder.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, it is now time now we've seen all the tat to price it up.
so we're going to get into the pricing round.
I can't wait.
Also, Paul, how long is this recording going on?
I know.
It feels like I've been in my whole life.
I feel like that.
That's why I say like we've done enough.
Let's wrap this up.
Come on, it's point time.
And points give us a bit of unfavar, don't they?
You like a bit of unvavar.
How are we going to actually do this?
Between, between, between.
We're going to do it now.
Between, between.
Do, da, da, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do it, do.
Points time.
P-O-I-N-T-S.
It's points time.
Right, so, as we discovered earlier...
Where's the rhino?
Can't see no rhino?
It's right there.
The rhinos right here, all right?
Okay.
I have laid out the items in front of me
so I can see them, right?
Rather than getting the prices,
Ash and Stuart,
Ash and Eli have been given...
I'm actually going to...
Sorry, I'll do it again.
I'm going to leave. I'm going to fucking leave.
Ash and Eli have been given prices
that they have to now match to each item.
So I'm going to...
going to ask them to give me the price they think for the item I call out. We're going to do it
that way, okay? So the first item... And remember, you've got free, which was found in the...
Oh yeah, do you want to go through the... Oh yeah, one of them was free. I'll go through the prices
I have here, Paul. Yeah, if you could quickly... I have one 25p, one 30p, one pound, that's the
quid's gambit. Quid's gambit. So if you get that on the right item, Ash, you get three
extra bettwings. Yeah. A 10p, that'd be really important. You don't want to be a mug for that.
50p, 60p, 5p, God. Have we ever had an item?
in that. No, I don't think we've ever had a 5P item.
Fivep, and then there's one that's Scott free?
What's the difference between the 5P item and the free one?
You know what I mean?
5P is the difference.
It is the difference, but in terms of value.
These are from the tip as well.
So I reckon they took a load of shit to the tip counter and he went, that's three, like
250, whatever, that's what's happened there.
And what they've just arbitrarily assigned prices for us to?
I wonder, I'm not cost aspersions over Paul and Lisa, if that's their names.
No, it's not.
Lisa, it was Lisa.
Dave and Latvian.
Dave and Letitia
Dave and Lisa
In Norwich, thank you again
Dave and Lisa
Sorry Paul
Should be
Dave and Lisa
I said sorry to the wrong person
Yeah
Sorry Dave
I'll pass it on to them
I want to see them next
Do you not think they're going to listen
No they'll be listening
Go ahead
They've wasted off fun times
I want to know where they listen
As a couple
They're not smart
In bed
I bet you're probably in a drive
Hands in each other's glands
In a drive
On a drive
Well they pull up in the car
And they just wait
Yeah
Or maybe they go for a walk
And they listen with their headphones
Just quickly
Yeah
I was a mini-disc guy
A big mini-disc guy
Yeah
I had minidisc car player
Minidisc mixer
So I had three
A little mini-disc player
Last week
I was
I love mini-disc
Yeah
I love them just ever slightly
Mid-Disc
version of the LP
You know that
Yeah
I haven't got a player anymore
Oh
I wish I did
Yeah you can get them quite easy
Yeah you can get them quite easy
You don't mind getting
Not at a brilliant condition
one, you can probably pick up a minute's play for like 40 quid.
I don't, I don't want.
I do, because I'm actually thinking I'm getting a separate.
I'll just have to...
Anyway, moving on.
The first item that you'll need to price is the Ronnie Barker LP.
That's the first one on this list.
So I'm going to go to Eli first, since he's on a hot streak.
The two LPs have different prices, do they?
Let me double check.
No, they do have different prices, the albums, yeah.
So one is a different price to the other, just for the record.
So you've got your items there, your price items, your pricums, and I need
you to price this LP
by Ronnie Barker, Eli, first.
25p.
Oh, wow, you've gone completely
away from what I was thinking.
So 25p there for the Ronnie Barker
LP. Now, just so you know,
does it mean you can't put 25P
down if you wanted to.
What I'm saying is that
that's so far away from what I was
thinking. Oh, what are you thinking?
I was thinking that might be the most expensive item.
But you guys, like, I don't know,
like, what's the average price for an old mug?
Well, they vary from shop to shop
You know what I mean?
I'm going to go pound on Ronnie Barker.
A pound is the most expensive item
It is a pound.
I think that is that.
The Ronnie Barker LPs.
That's the one I'd want.
That's the quid gambit.
You think that's the quid's gambit.
I do.
And I don't want it.
I'm just saying I think that would be the thing
If I were making me take one.
Okay, fine.
All right.
Next item is the Wogan book,
the yellow wogan book for toads
which is impenetrable to average readers.
You go first here, Ash.
We've got this book here.
What do you think, Ash, what price are you going to put on the Wogan book of all your options?
30 pence.
All right, 30 pence for the Wogan book.
And again, it's a very cheap selection here today.
So, you know, what, prices are all over the place.
It's almost chaos.
I don't know why I have this feeling about the book.
What kind of feeling?
That it was free.
Okay.
Oh, I forgot about that one.
I think that was free because that's the type of thing no one wants.
All right.
guys going three for the Tog book.
It's going to make no...
You're dealing with a...
Not only, right, am I on a hot streak at the moment?
Yeah, Ash.
You're dealing with someone
with a huge amount of experience
in this particular game.
I know, I know, I know.
So, you know, I'm just saying...
You're feeling the power now.
Can you feel the power now?
A football analogy, your Premier League,
I'm non-league, but the FA Cup
is a great leveler.
Sometimes they go together.
And he's rooting for you.
There's more chance for a billionaire
investing in you than him, so you'll be fine.
And he's rooting for you as well.
Yeah, I'm rooting for you
because I want to see him taking down.
So this is like your home turf.
Right.
Keep the analogy going.
Even though it's literally your home turf.
Spaghetti mug.
Who's written for this one first?
Eli is.
I'm going to put my quidt on it.
Oh, he's going quid on that, isn't he?
Quidgambit goes on that.
Quid's gambit.
You sure?
It's an old mug as well.
Someone's looked after that.
What do you think about the mug?
Quid's gambit?
I know you've already played it.
Are we using all of it?
Yeah.
There's a price for each item.
Price them.
50p.
There you go.
I think that's also reasonable.
That's your best play so far.
Right.
Teddy car
Which is that?
Oh yeah
Rupert the bear car
Tiny Teddy car
Although, yeah
just to say Teddy
but I'm going to call it
a Rupert
He's got a one on his back as well
That's nice
Didn't see that
I thought he had a back brace
Like he'd been in an accident
I thought that's what it was
So Ash you're going first
How much for the Teddy car
Ten pence
Ten pence?
Okay
I'm going to go with him
there and also play ten pence on that
Yeah
See the strategy as well
Yeah
You've got to take
Because you get an advantage
I get the advantage
he's playing every round
you get the advantage
of seeing the other guys
guess first
right in that case
Eli you're going to go next
with the Piggy Fest badge
how much is the Piggy Fest badge
How much?
30P
I'm very confident
This could be my downfall
but I feel I'm feeling it
I'm feeling it free
Oh free
That was free
As solid a guess as any other
Next is the clown car nightmare toy
Over here
Eli is going
first with this one how can you even put a price on this is my question priceless what do the items
do we have left uh you have this the sexy lp and the rhino key ring rhino key ring and there's like
you know remember there's five pens 20 pens 50 pens there are all sorts of prices here so uh so yeah
we've so clown car thing we're so off this is the beauty of this game we're so poles apart
that clown thing is an aberration against decency and what do you say 25 puns 25 points
right okay uh sexy LP the erogenous mood music
how much you want to put on it 60 pence okay 60 pence for that 50 p 50 p for that
and then finally we have the rhino key chain we've only got one tile left each what have you got
i've got five points i've got five pence okay we both came together on the rhino yeah beautiful
what beautiful moment now before i reveal the sporting
I enjoyed that.
I'm going to wait, before we settle into the reveal,
I'm going to ask you now if there's a price you want to swap.
So if you want to swap A for a B, I'm giving you that chance now.
One swap, yeah.
You get one swap.
You can swap any price for another price.
I'm happy.
I enjoyed it.
Like, I'm happy with my, I'm slightly concerned that me and Eli are so far apart on a couple of things,
but I'm happy with how it went.
Yeah.
I always have a moment of doubt at these points.
Do you want to swap anything out?
I'm going to keep with my gut.
You lock it in.
Flora and.
fauna all a bubble all a tussle of the bubble coming up give me the give me the
thoughts thought stem up the thought so just to just to lock in now every right answer is just
one between the only thing you're going to get two betwiings for is the quid's gambit all right
oh so that's not four between no no in this case it's just two today all right I want to make
that what was the point of explaining the fucking rules it was said and letter at the beginning
it was said at the beginning so there's the point of explaining the original rule
Preciy knickers.
There was no point.
And then making me look like a fool for not knowing them.
Right.
We will start with, we'll just go from the beginning again.
So, Ronnie Barker LP, Eli said 25p, Ash said a quid.
It was 25p.
Bang on for Silverman.
Really?
Bang on for Silverman.
Oh, I'm feeling it now.
We're going to have a huge cavalcane.

It was 30p
Okay
I think there's no more
Petwinges left for us
Hand on.
Hang on.
We got the rhino and the LP.
We both said 5P for the rhino.
Yeah.
The rhino was the free item.
We knew it wasn't worth much.
Although, how much for the erogenous moods?
Ash said 60p.
Eli said 50.
60p.
Well done.
I've got two betwiens.
Well done.
So at the end, Eli has four twings.
Ash has two.
I'm happy with that.
Not a bad score altogether.
What a successful game.
Thank you, Lisa and Dave.
Dave, for your wonderful Norwich Trash Fines.
Thank you guys.
Really great.
What a lovely thing.
A lovely little hall.
Nice to have a bit of variation in the rules, one now and then, now and again.
Now and then.
Now and then.
And my gut, I'm just have to say, the run continues.
The run continues.
Really well done.
The dominance.
I'm going to dominate the sport.
It's just, you know, some people need to build up.
This is a waiting game because, yes, he's on a hot street now.
Yes, he's feeding his ego.
there's going to be an episode coming up soon
where he will not only shit the bed
but his clothes, the floor
and leave an overall nasty stink.
You can't do worse than a donut in this game, can you?
I can't get minus between.
I will find a way for you to be
in fucking destroyed
in a petty price of shite of the future.
I've got a three-year-old who can play this game
if you want to put him up against someone.
I would love Eli to be destroyed by a child in this.
If we're talking about future episodes,
Ash was on our original bargain, what's it called?
Carboot sir.
We haven't done one since.
We haven't done one since
and it's a very popular episode.
I know.
Let's get it together.
We've got to get it together.
I know.
It's easier said to do
when I work weekends,
isn't it though?
That's the problem.
Or you could just get up a bit early and come to a car booth.
Come on,
make.
Let's do an early morning.
Do you want me to bring...
Let's get home at four in the morning
of the work and then get up two hours.
Yes.
That'd be so cool.
No, because he's a big boy.
They might beat us up.
He looks like he could beat us up.
I think he's not into beating people up,
is he?
He's not into beating people up.
from Essex.
He repairs PS3s, man.
He does do that.
Okay, yeah, I'll bring him on a long story.
Hitler was an electronics guy, was he?
Glock and spills.
Oh, Glock and spills.
Well done, you feel.
Yes, the German mid-20th century equivalent of a PS3 was a glockenspiel.
Well, Dan, Paul.
I'll bring him back and he talks about it often.
Well, we will have to do a car boot challenge soon, maybe even this year.
But until then, the price of shite which closes,
stores and it's now time to wrap up the show.
Oh, but a round of applause for everyone
playing a sterling game today.
And our 485th,000th episode.
Bravo.

Your podcast?
Well, yeah, follow me on Instagram.
I'm beginning to put clips out, comedy clips.
Oh, I've seen.
All your crowd work stuff.
Some crowd work stuff, which I know is done,
but I think my ones are good.
Yeah.
And the podcast I do with Justin,

He doesn't believe everything he says, but he does like...
Making lists about sexual offence.
Yeah, exactly that.
Yeah, weird.
And what else?
I will eventually do...
I'd watch that again.
I just haven't done.
And also, the thing I do with Asians.
Did you ever get an invite to do that podcast?
No, I want you to both to do it.

but we'll be doing soon, hopefully.
Is that online?
Because I know you did the show, was it last year?
We never recorded it to go out live.
We just did it live.
Shame.
Yeah, that's it.
Just film in Instagram, that's great.
Ashrith, on the Instagrams, look for him.
And his podcast, we're sure it gets the cheap show Thumb of Approval for whatever that's worth.
The Cheap Show Thumb of Approval.
Yeah, this.
He's been doing this all day.
Have you noticed?
The wrong word.
What's wrong with the thumb of approval?
It's not something people say.
That's what's wrong with it, Paul.
You keep using.
the wrong word.
It does my head in.
I'm a language user.
I like precision in language.
When we work that joke out, yeah?
How can you fucking say that when you're all,
ah, quim-fark, clungy, look,
that's precise nonsense.
It's not just the word,
not the word for the job,
which you do constantly.
Long-glown-a-shed-shed, it makes me angry.
Love you, love you, love you all,
the thumb of approval.
Pure canonism.
It's fine.
It's not fine.
When people say, the thumb of approval,
they know what I'm getting.
You do the thumb of approval.
It's the seal.
The seal of approval.
That is an egg corn.
You've done an egg corn.
It's not.
I'm not doing an egg corn.
You've done a big, stinky egg corn.
It's a thumb of approval.
It's a thumb of approval.
What's that?
What's that then?
Thumb of disapproval.
What's that?
Facing out, thumb of...
Ambivalence.
Ambivalence, yeah.
The thumb of disapproval is a sadomasochistic game.
Thumbivalence.
That's what it is.
Thumbivalence, thumb bivul.
Thumbival.
Thumbival.
Thumb sad
Thumb bad
Thumb bad
