Starting point is 00:00:00 So, yeah, so I'm on my hands and knees out the side of the front of my house with a cat poop scoop in my hand, fishing out shitty toilet paper from the grid where the block sewer pipe had pumped out shitty water and ass-wiped tissue paper through the grid, making a kind of, like a slushy mush of feculent paper piss shit water that I was scooping out, like, as if it was like dirty popcorn,
Starting point is 00:00:28 like just scooping it out and then like slashing it out and then slapping it into a bin bag. I think dirty popcorn is actually like, you know, an actual dish where they put like cheese sauce and bacon pieces. Well, there wasn't any g sauce on this. Cheese sauce and bacon pieces. Just, just my ass gristle, my partners, maybe the neighbours kids.
Starting point is 00:00:43 You don't know whose gristle it was for sure. I could have been, I could have checked the paper to see what style. There are pieces of Hitler's body in every breath you take. Is that the lyrics to the Sting song? I don't seem to remember that. Oh, my God. Right. Anyway, so I'm fishing it all out.
Starting point is 00:00:57 Oh, you fishing. And I'm trying to, like, not vomit because the stench was pretty bad. It was like a hundred people's turds kind of stink, the kind of pipe as well. And I'm just fishing out and I'm saying, this isn't a life, is it? This isn't what I thought my rock star life was going to be. Scooping out bangers and mash into a bin bag on a rainy day, hey? How is that a life, eh? Well, needs masks sometimes.
Starting point is 00:01:24 But then. Think of our ancestors, Paul. But then. You know they found that shit. Our ancestors used to live on these stilt houses, right? And they found the shit. And it was riddled with fucking bowel worms. Was it?
Starting point is 00:01:36 Yeah. Well, he had a lot of worm problems. I did have gloves on. Like parasitic worms in his shit. It was like a massive turd. And he was like, this guy was probably starved to death by all the parasites living in his guts. Well, the worst bit was when it's gone. So that would be worse.
Starting point is 00:01:49 The worst bit was, no, no, no. If I was like no electricity, trying to get fish, right? And then I think, ah, my guts are full of worms. I'm 25. I'm dead. It's prehistory. That sucks. But I'll say this. When I was scooping and shoveling the shitty toilet paper water into the bin bag, right? Into a bin bag. It started raining. No, you started to tell my stumbling. And at one point, the rain was so heavy that it was spattering, God knows what, into my face. Did you have a nice shower after it? Yeah, I had a very nice shower after it.
Starting point is 00:02:19 But I was, you know, I don't know what I was flecked with as a result of that. Well, that is actually dangerous, you know? Getting muddy in a muddy puddle out in the woods, That's wholesome. Just saying. Oh, you know what happened to me yesterday? What? I know it doesn't come up to that. That sounds traumatic, honestly.
Starting point is 00:02:36 It's not a podcast that award-winning podcast. But I did that thing where I stepped on a puddle, on a slab, a paving stone. Yeah, and it was a puddle underneath, and it completely soaked my foot right down to the sock. Not your hands. That's the important thing. Your hands were fine. I just thought, oh, what is going on with that water? Do you know what's in it?
Starting point is 00:02:53 Because there was obviously stuff in it that kind of dries onto the shoe. You just don't know what's in it. He's a downer. Did you take your sock off when you got home? Yeah, of course I took the sock off when I cut home. I don't know. It's clothing. Do you keep your socks on all the time unless they get wet? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:07 All the time. How long have you had this pair on for? Two years now. Two years now. And that, everyone, must be what that smell is. Yeah, it is. Oh, no, wait. It's my knob end.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Oh, here we go. Oh, no. When all else fails, Eli gets his knobend de Numan out. How many fingers of knob cheese we got on our pizza today? Three fingers of knob cheese. I want the special with Nobjula. What? You know, like Indooja, but Nobjujia.
Starting point is 00:03:33 Nobtsfooja. I want Nob Spooja sausage. I want Italian Nob Spooja sausage on my pizza, please. Well, like that pizza, it's going to be hard for me to top it. So let's just move into the episode show. Oh, fuck off. I'm making an effort. I was making the noise of a rocket taking off.
Starting point is 00:03:49 That joke was so good. No, no, no, no, no. That was not a rocket going off. You didn't hear it. Five. Four. It's too late, Batman, stop it. Three, two.

Starting point is 00:07:07 won't miss it, will you? Aim for 2 and you won't miss it. Yeah, but don't say 2 or 230. It sounds like we're unprofessional. That sounds like we're unprofessional. We are, though. We are. We are unprofessional. No, we always start on time. We always start on time, Paul. No, we're not. Yes, we do. And we have little recorded bits. We're very meticulous about it. Oh, I'm very meticulous about it. Oh, now, I knew you're going to do this now. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:29 I knew you're going to do this. So if we're incompetent, it's both of us, but if there's some competency, it's only you. No, no, no. That's what you're saying. No, if there's any incompetence, it's only you. Yeah, that's what you're, you know, applaud it's that come our way. It's mostly me.
Starting point is 00:07:42 That's what I'm trying to say, you're negligible. No, it's just, it's a fact. You're just my little freak show that I throw about to people and say, look at this little dangly, dangly nonsense troll. Look at him. Dingly, dangly, dangly, dangly, And I pull it back and then I end up being, you know... Well, then you were lying about yourself then.

Starting point is 00:08:34 It took me fucking hours to do because it was like, upload them all and then send it to public and all the tracks become public. Did it? No. All the tracks were sent to private.
Starting point is 00:08:43 So I had to go into every single track individually and put it to public. And every time I did that, it would refresh the whole page and send me back to the top of the list. I don't know why. That's not good. I sent it to YouTube
Starting point is 00:08:53 and they were. Oh, that shouldn't happen. And I was like, well, it does. It did. What are you going to do about it? The answer was nothing, I did it myself. So it's all on YouTube, enjoy you. Welcome to the podcast, ladies, gentlemen.
Starting point is 00:09:02 We've got a price of shite deluxe for you today. Oh, to price of shite. I don't even know. It's a big box, this. Well, get something out, for God's sake. There's anything you want to say before we get started. No, you've deflated me by saying, I'm your little dangly cunt troll on a string. Would you say?
Starting point is 00:09:16 No, I'm not having it. You're a bit like an Italian opera in that respect, then, aren't you? A deflator mouse. A deflated mouse. A deflated mouse A deflator mouse No Eli's never going to do an opera gag
Starting point is 00:09:25 Is he? Yes I will What's a dog's favourite part The opera? The auria Oria! He liked that one before That was a good joke
Starting point is 00:09:33 That was not a good joke Alright Can you do any opera gags then I'm thinking of one Have one I'm gonna get It's gonna be a fucking Yeah go on
Starting point is 00:09:40 It's gonna be a leap motif Throughout the episode Okay Uh huh So I'm doing a little fucking Little classical music joke Before I even get to it Not to classical music
Starting point is 00:09:48 I'm talking about opera specifically There's leap motifs in operas Well I'm not talking about talking about... Do you know what a leap motif even fucking is? Yeah, it's like a recurring theme that comes in and out of certain pieces of music. Blatently is in operas.
Starting point is 00:09:59 All right, but again... Well, there you go, I've done it. I've done my joke. Leit motif. Leit motif. It can be any genre of music, though. I want something specific to opera. I want you to name an opera right now.
Starting point is 00:10:09 Name me an opera right now. Um... There's any one. I don't mind. Just name me an opera. Uh, Lady Singapore. What's it called? That's not an opera.
Starting point is 00:10:17 I know it's not called Lady Singapore. I'm mad and butterfly. Fuck. Yeah. Don't put me on the spot about operas. Figuero. The marriage of Figuero, you mean. Whatever, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:27 It's a fucking opera. You know what, Paul, I'm going to say something. It might shock you for a man of so much culture, as myself, yeah. A man who of discerning taste in music. Yeah, I think everyone would agree. I don't like fucking opera. There you go. All musical theatre.
Starting point is 00:10:44 I don't like it. Don't like those mediums. I'm bored now talking on it. How shameful. You get to be bored about my things and fucking barely show up when we're talking about fucking vital subjects, like sauce, like noodles, like things like that. Okay. Music, proper music.
Starting point is 00:10:58 I'm just going to do opera pod. I don't care. Opera pod time. They wouldn't let you into that fucking elite ever. You can do it. They'd find this whole thing swearing. It's not posh enough. You're not posh enough to be in their cunt group.
Starting point is 00:11:14 Fuck opera. I've been to many operas in my time. I hate it. La la boring, cunt. Shut up. Shut up. You're such an ignorant. You are such an ignorant shit when it comes to like...
Starting point is 00:11:24 I hate opera. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, does it? I hate it's boring to me. You're boring, though. Your interests are boring fundamentally. Sources have no impact on. That's only one of my many interests. My interests are much wider than yours.
Starting point is 00:11:35 That's not true. Much wider. For instance, I like opera, which is something you don't like in musical theatre. I want you to name, right, come on. Could you name seven operas? Well, I've already named like five. It's a deflady the mouse, Cozy Van Tozi, the marriage of a figaro. I named that one.
Starting point is 00:11:49 It's not allowed it. You said Figaro. And I have to correct you And say marriage of Figuero Right, that's three, that's three Oh, he's such a man of culture That's three No, I said, Cozy Fantuti
Starting point is 00:11:59 I said the marriage of Figuero I said deflade the mouse That's three There was another one that I mentioned Yes, but that's three so far right Can we agree on that? Three more than you fucking got Your neighbour's going to get all angry
Starting point is 00:12:11 Can you just get something out of the box No, I'm going to be And this segment doesn't end Until you at least say Paul has just as broadening a range of interest As you For instance I just because our taste don't match doesn't mean...
Starting point is 00:12:22 You want me to lie about it in order to... It's not about it. It's not a lie. You want me to lie about it in order to appease you. It's not a lie. What all I want you to do is say, you can't possibly father. You want me to lie about my own feelings.
Starting point is 00:12:33 You don't have any feelings. You're a fucking gormless troll. Well, there you go. Mimics human emotion. You're not going to get it now. When was the last time you went? About 10 years ago. Fair enough.
Starting point is 00:12:42 And I went to a Holland Park one because you have Holland Park one because you have Holland Park operas. And I went to see one there. And it was lots of fun. and I found 40 quid in the car park so it was a great day out for me. Did you? Just lying on the ground?
Starting point is 00:12:53 Just two-twenties. Yeah. Bored of this game. No, you don't, you fail to understand. I'm not playing with you. No, I'm not playing with you. And I don't want to play with you no more.
Starting point is 00:13:01 You're not my friend anymore, and I'm going to go stand over there. So we're going to get on with the podcast and you'll do it in that corn, I'll do in this. No, absolutely fine. After your fucking source denial last week. Also, Magic Flute and Carmen,
Starting point is 00:13:12 there's two fucking more. Stick up your ass you're on five. And you ask for five. I don't give you five. you couldn't even get one. I asked for seven. La Traviata is another one then. All right.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Okay. And then, uh, you know what? Here's the thing. You're making me do seven and you can't even do one. I never said I was into opera. I said I hated opera.
Starting point is 00:13:34 Yeah, but you were like, I'd do that. So they did three. They go do five. No, I said seven. Tosca. Oh yes.
Starting point is 00:13:40 Okay, well done. Thank you. All right. Press the button. Thank you. Thank you. We're not friends anymore.
Starting point is 00:13:45 No, we're not friends. We're still never going to be friends. Why? Because I'm except you have more diverse, more diverse taste. Not more, equal to, that you can't possibly fathom who's got the more
Starting point is 00:13:54 wider interest, considering so many things you poo-poo at. I know what comes out, poo-poo. A wide gape. A wider gape. Who's got a wider gape in arso? Who's had to get on this fucking hands and needs in the rain and shovel it out of a grid? You? Yes. So I know more about Scat and I know more by an opera.
Starting point is 00:14:10 I win. It's a price of shite. Bonanza all this week on the podcast. It's just one big box of price of shite. Look at the size of this box. It's at least four, I'd say four by three. It's a flat box. It's a big, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:25 You could use it as a wall in a kennel or to keep a small child in. You wouldn't want to do that because you might fall on the child. This is pack with things. So this is going to be a whistle stop episode of the pod. Look all this paper. I need to also find the letter that came with it. You need to find the letter, Paul. Oh, there, he's got the letter.
Starting point is 00:14:42 Well, this just says prices. Are we playing against each other? I don't think we're going to be able to because it's just a bag of receipts. For me? Just between for me? Yeah. Okay. He's just got the receipts in a bag. Who is this?
Starting point is 00:14:51 Where's the letter? God, there's a lot of paper in there. Oh, that's one of the items. That's one of the items. Oh, I'm not looking. I'm looking away. Okay? I'm looking away.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Oh, God, this happens every time. Is it in here? I don't think it is. Oh, no, wait, it is. Oh, fuck sake. Right, mate. It doesn't matter if you see the prices anyway, because it's just going to be a solo game.
Starting point is 00:15:15 Right. Dear Paul and Eli, be meaning to send you sort. things for a while. I sent you the box with a get-a-grip, various Mexican ricees and the horse-flavored bread crisps. Oh, you call Ben's big box. Remember he's in that huge
Starting point is 00:15:27 big fucking box, and it was full of like 20 episodes. I like those horse-flavored crisps, didn't I? I can't remember. I'm salivating. My mouth is getting wet for them. Wet for horse crisps. I'm soaking wet all in my mouth for horse crisps all of a sudden. Oh, garlicky,
Starting point is 00:15:43 horsey crisps. Spread the horses nor butter on. Oh, I'm Eli Silver Can I have some equestrian spread, please? Equestery spread. I forgot to include why the tales from the shop floor was called Rhythm and Pooze.
Starting point is 00:16:01 The guy was caught wanking in the toilets Never missed a beat when people watched him wanking. Oh, yeah, a letter about the day. Was I who? I don't want to be reminded of that. Anyway, I've got some snacks and a price of shite items for you. I'll send a can of tinned horse
Starting point is 00:16:15 if you're brave enough. I'll eat it. I'll eat it. I'll eat it. I won't eat horse. Oh, why? Because they're poor horses. No, because I don't want to. This podcast has never been. McDonald's... Oh, I knew you're going to say that because you don't watch McDonald's and bird's-eyed burgers and horsey in. Yeah, I know, but that's not the point. I'm not saying that. If I have a choice, I would not like to eat horse meat. But why would you be prepared to eat beef then is what I'm saying? What's the difference, really?
Starting point is 00:16:38 They're both large mammals. For like 16, 17 years of my life, I was vegetarian. I'm not saying that. I'm not... And even now, when I eat meat, it tends to be very rare. Not the meat itself of course But just the instances Like I'll eat When I'm with you I eat more meat than when I live here
Starting point is 00:16:52 Because my partner's vegetarians We tend to eat more vegetarian stuff Fair enough I'm not I'm just saying anything about your diet Or the morals of being a meat eater Or anything like that Paul I'm just saying it's a bit strange That you wouldn't be prepared to eat horse
Starting point is 00:17:06 Just on the principle of it When you eat very similar creatures Why wouldn't you want to be prepared to eat the horse Is what I'm asking you We prepare We fucking ate like turtle jerky and stuff before A turtle's okay Okay, but horses is not?
Starting point is 00:17:17 No, I didn't want to eat turtle jerky either. Yeah, it was horrible and I don't want to do it. You just don't want to eat anything horrible because you're a big wimp about it. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't want to eat stuff that I don't believe I would like inside my body. Therefore, this podcast. I don't know. I don't eat duck.
Starting point is 00:17:32 I don't like crocodile. There's lots of things I don't want to eat. You don't eat duck. No, I've never had duck. I don't like lamb as well. Another example of things I just mentally can't get through. Yeah, I'm quite picky when it comes to meat. You are actually.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Chicken and beef, the only two, really. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No fish because obviously you can't have the fish. So, you know, it's like, so why would I have to add horse to it? Fine. I'm just, was wondering. I don't know why you're getting on your high horse about it.
Starting point is 00:17:54 I will taste the horse myself then. And everything else disgusting that comes along on this show, like a fucking slave troll, which you called me, slave troll on a string, lapping up all the crap. Yeah. It's true. You're a dangly pair of keys for our audience to laugh at. And then what's going on behind the scenes?
Starting point is 00:18:10 The super genius. It's the super genius. It's the guy who edits and puts it all together and drafts an identity and I, you know and a brand you're just a tool mate it's what you are you see you shake your head but you know it you know it deep down inside don't don't you know deep down inside that you're just the jumping jester you're like a sociopathing jester you're a sociopathic man yeah here's the jumping jester it's lucky you have some insight or else you'd be doing fucking nasty things do you think i don't even know you're not here's the thing i know what two three two one stinky i kill people
Starting point is 00:18:38 or something you were going to say you kill people do you kill people i don't kill people I've never killed a person. Three, two, one. And being caught. Hey, I knew it. Come on. Come on. Thanks for all the entertainment over the years.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Here we go. Price of Shite. I don't recall you having Price of Shite items from an end-of-line shop. Clearance bargains has end-of-line damaged goods and out-of-season products. Most of them, Sainsbury's home base and ASDA.
Starting point is 00:19:03 Some bargains are quite cheaper than the tack from charity shops. And that's where the letter's been torn off. But I know it's Ben. Now, let me just see. I'll be playing solo then, will I? Ben, he's... Unfortunately, yeah, because the
Starting point is 00:19:14 receipts are there for proof, but he has given a list. Listen, can you admit the reality that you've been losing badly at the price of strike recently? I haven't been losing badly for a start.
Starting point is 00:19:23 And B, I've also not been able to play many games because it's always, I have to look at the squints or point, you know, squints, and point, pause. That's not true.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Anyway, whatever. I'm ready to play. What I want to do is give a little bit of spice to this. So if I can't play, I want pet swings. And so I want, every time you don't get any
Starting point is 00:19:41 between, I will get up a twing. No, that's too easy for you to score. But if you're too good at this, mate, there shouldn't be a problem. There should be a boundary. I'm prepared to do something like that. Just saying, if you're so confident, this shouldn't be an issue. No, I'm not confident like that.
Starting point is 00:19:55 Because most guesses are wet off just in general, aren't they? So that's too many betwiens for you. Sounds like a coward backing out of a proposition. I'm not backing out. I'm saying you modify that proposition to, if I'm wrong over a certain amount, which we can negotiate now. Okay, if you're out by over 50p either way, then I get up a twing.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Okay. So if it's £2,000, then you say £3,000 or £2.50, I get a per twing. Okay. All right? Yes. You get hosts per twing or whatever it's called. Let the games begin. Right.
Starting point is 00:20:26 We're in. It's time for a price of shite. Now, all in, there are nine items here today. Nine items, quite a high number of items. It is. Conceivably, you could get nine per twings, but I could conceivably, if we're going by the normal rules,
Starting point is 00:20:40 I've got every single price exactly right. Of course, it would never happen. I would be scoring 18 betwiings. Right. So I can, potentially, I can get more than twice the betwiings you can just by the structure of the game. Yep. Well, let's see what happens. I don't know about this new petwing.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Is there a quid's gambit? Is there a quid gambit? He hasn't mentioned it in the list, but let me go over the points right now to have a little look. I think we should include it if there is any item that is a quid. There is no quid gambit. Okay. All right. A little clue there for me.
Starting point is 00:21:07 Okay. So, would you like me to do a quick math add-up and then tell you what the wins? No, no, yeah, it's not the window. That's the ceiling, but yes, give me the ceiling. A rough ceiling to whiff in five pence, please. I would say no more than 12 quid. All together. All together, no more than 12 quid.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Yeah. And it was all sort of new stuff bought at the end of a line store. End of line clearance type house shop. Dead stock. Yeah. So that gets churned out of all those shores. I love that kind of thing, don't you? Well, I've seen some of these items and the answers, no.
Starting point is 00:21:35 So we're going to crack on. I love that kind of thing as a general category of goods. As an idea, as a concept. In records, you often get them. dinked because it just means this wasn't able to sell so it was all just thrown away I've moved on right to get this game going
Starting point is 00:21:50 I'm going to show you an item that is three items what are you talking about these items are all the same but there's three of them three identical items but they count as one item is that what you're saying oh no these are three of the nine separate items but all three are posters yes everyone so he's handed me three
Starting point is 00:22:07 hardboard tubes okay do we get to keep these If you want them This is a Habitat one Okay Is this real I'm opening these Right
Starting point is 00:22:17 Yeah By all means have a look They're all three are from Habitat It looks like Originally from Habitat At least yeah Oh these are cool I want to take this home
Starting point is 00:22:25 Put them on my wall If you want them You can have them By all means This is huge Oh it tells you on the outside It's not that big actually Right
Starting point is 00:22:32 This is like Oh it's a Battersea power station What kind of art style Would you say that is Like pop party almost It's minimalist Yeah Pop Artie yes
Starting point is 00:22:41 But also a bit sort of photorealistic in a way. Yeah. It's like, you know. It's nice. It's like a kind of screen print on a t-shirt kind of. Very much a screen print. Oh, is one?
Starting point is 00:22:49 Of the Battersea Power Station before they fucked it, basically. This is Tokyo Skyline. These are nice. Tokyo Skyline, no. This one's a bit more abstract. I want to take these home and put these on my wall. This is like, what is that? Mount Fuji?
Starting point is 00:23:03 Yeah. Is it in the background? Then like a kind of expressionistic, simpleized, simple eyes? Sort of abstracted. Skyline. Blocky and abstracted. Nice. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:12 Nice. That's a nice little poster. Again, they've got a matte sort of finish both of these, like a screen print. Yeah. Please. Right. And the third poster is what? Mid-century. Do people put these up on their walls, though, really?
Starting point is 00:23:22 Does anyone buy posters from habitat? This one, finally enough, this third one doesn't have... Again, let me finish a sentence. People do that less nowadays. What, interrupt people halfway through a sentence. I heard what you said. Yeah, well, then why do you talk over it? Again, don't listen.
Starting point is 00:23:34 All full of yourself. You actually interrupted me, I was saying about... Oh, here we go. You're so defensive. You can't just take a criticism. One that helps me in the edit, because sometimes they need to edit. because sometimes they need to edit things out and I can't because you talk over it
Starting point is 00:23:43 so I have to remove more of the episode to get it in. If people go, oh, we've lost some good stuff yeah, because Eli's ruined it and I had to chop it out in the edit. Jesus Christ, is anyone else bought of this? Yeah, me? Come on, what's the third poster? I'm not getting it out.
Starting point is 00:23:56 It's boring. We can see it from this cover. All right, what is it, though? They're nice quality things. What is that? It's an abstract, it's an abstract composition. It's called Mint Sentry. Yeah, this one, funnly enough,
Starting point is 00:24:06 which I was trying to say before. Yeah. Doesn't have the artist or the piece name, but the other two do. And it's in a shorter, so maybe it's a different range. Maybe we do need to get it out. Yeah, maybe.
Starting point is 00:24:17 These all get stuck in frames then. You probably have to buy a nice frame for them. They're that kind of quality that you would, yes. They're nice quality. But they're kind of posters, to be fair. You don't you have a seat? In a calf or something. In a showroom for a mock bedroom in IKEA.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Yeah. Especially this one, the mid-century one, a bit dull compared to the others. It's nice in terms of what it is as a print. Yes. But like... They're prints as interior decoration rather than piece of art or even conversation piece. But anyway, three posters, three prices.
Starting point is 00:24:44 Three posters, three prices. Three separate different prices. Three prices, Mr. Silverman. Fuck. They might be the same price. They might be the same price. I do know the answer, but I refuse to tell you. I think it's up to you to judge
Starting point is 00:24:56 if you think they're all the same price because, you know, they've been sold in a lot or whether they've got different prices because they're quite differently sized. It's up to you. I think the two big ones are two found 50. What's that theme? Wait, what is that theme?
Starting point is 00:25:08 No one knows It's not a real theme It is a fucking real theme Well perhaps they can put in Have you done enough of it It's like a BBC game show or something Are you doing it like a horse was doing it there Ney
Starting point is 00:25:26 What was heavy episode this for some strange reason The horses are heavy man They've come up quite a lot They come up quite a lot Right Poster 1 I said 250 for the two large posters $2.50 for the two large...
Starting point is 00:25:39 If you want to name them, that's the Tokyo Skyline and the Battersea Power Station. And you say $2.50 for each? Yes, and I'm going to say $1.50. For the abstract one. The mid-century, yes. Yeah. Okay, $150 for that, yeah?
Starting point is 00:25:54 Right, okay. Then it's on to the next items. I mean, this would be at least £10, 15 pounds if you were getting them new, but it's weird. This is not second-hand. These are new, but they're at the end of the line. Yeah, unsold. Anyway, this is...
Starting point is 00:26:07 Next item. Next item. These next two items are, I'm going to give you as one again because they're effectively the same thing. But they've got separate prices? Yes. Different prices. There's not much to talk about.
Starting point is 00:26:23 That's why I thought I'd get about it away because there's more interesting stuff to come. Oh, can I do one of these? If you really want. But remember, this is my house and I end up cleaning things because you just fucking walk and right out. Open your mouth and I'll do it into the pipe. Do it into the pipe.
Starting point is 00:26:36 Okay, I'll do it into the pipe. Actually, that might make a big. big bang or something. Open both ends and make it like a bazooka popper. That could be dangerous. Make sure your eyes aren't near one end. Oh no they both is that one open the both ends. Yeah, one of the large ones which I'm saving you open. We shouldn't explain to everyone. He's handed me two items. One is... Big bag of. Sainsbury home range, 50 party poppers. These are very... Eli! Party poppers. Eli! I'm going to let one off. So I let it off into the tube. You're going to have to hold the tube up.
Starting point is 00:27:06 Eli, I am the god of betting. Put money on the Dixie Ray Circus at 315 in Ascot today. It's good money, put money on it. He's finally killed me with his lack of skill at improvising everyone. Eli, I am the god of hell fire. I bring you betting odds. Put money on grey lightning at the 420. That sounds like a really boring horse's name.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Come up with a better name for a horse. Alexander's Palace is fire That's a horse What about this horse He's struggling everyone Lady Madonna's kickstand Oh Take it
Starting point is 00:27:45 Prince Bad Bad Bad Prince Bad Bad Yeah he's a good One he put money on him I wish I hadn't asked you to do this Please stop Fifteen to one The 340

Starting point is 00:28:10 That's one Chandra's Tundra Chandra's Tundra Chondra Can I Oh, it's a horse I see He's into betting horses
Starting point is 00:28:19 Can you hold this steady While I let He's gonna fire it up the pipe No I'm not on my face Not on my face Do it that way Honestly don't Make sure it's not going over your head
Starting point is 00:28:26 It's fine, it'll be fine It's not that big a charge Let's see if this will Here we go He's going to pop it Here we go Oh the string came out Oh that's very disappointing
Starting point is 00:28:34 50 of them That's one that didn't work I wonder if this is because why they're into the line and aren't sold Eli pick one that works I'm the god of false betting Oh
Starting point is 00:28:45 That's kind of cool I can smell it in the pipe as well No I can smell it in the pipe Yeah Yeah Party popper A little bit of dynamite Anyway a bag of party poppers
Starting point is 00:28:57 Then there's another one there What's that one? Do they have confetti in? No they were just partied Just the pop Streamers aren't they? Is there streamers? I thought they call them. I can't see anywhere anywhere.
Starting point is 00:29:07 I don't think they have streamers in there. No, they do. They came out of the top. I've just lost them now. I don't think, I just think the top came out the top. No streamers. I'm doing another one. Let's test it. Yes. Streamers definitely came up. No, they're just plain party poppers. No, they just came out the top. Hold it again.
Starting point is 00:29:20 Here we go. Three, two, one. See, look. No, there's no streamers. There's that. Look at that, look. Oh, yeah, there is. See, thank you. Oh, that's where I put the other ones in there as well. Yeah, they went in the box. They're the lamest streamers I've ever seen. Eli, five.
Starting point is 00:29:34 down the shaft pipe into the box. Oh. How much for that? That's an evil smell. Right, Eli, how much for that bag? And the big potty popper to announce. Oh, it came as one item? No, two items.
Starting point is 00:29:45 It was just a big potty popper. Yeah. Are we going to do that this on? No, we're not doing it. These are the ones that they give me at the Blues Kitchen at New Year's Eve. Live show. We'll save for the live show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Have we had these for the live show before? No. It's, what's that? It says, Ginger Ray Shooter Pink. That sounds like a shit cocktail. Clearance. Ginger Ray Shooter Pink. That sounds like a code word.
Starting point is 00:30:04 We're going on a bombing rate. Go, go, go. Ginger pink, shoot her. Do it now. How much anyway? Bumhole, into the bum hole, into the bum hole. Stinky pink. Find your stinky pink
Starting point is 00:30:14 Ginger Ray shooting spray. Oh, we're having a ginger in shandy. How much for the small bag of poppers and how much for the big pop-up? Two prices. I would say. Yeah. No item is a quid.
Starting point is 00:30:25 No item is a quid. There is no, there is no quid's gambit in this game, unfortunately for you. So what you're gonna do? We lie. Oh, what, you're going to build up. Two quid for the bag of party poppers, 50 party poppers. Two for the big bag, for the big one.
Starting point is 00:30:40 250. Ah. Big pop-up. Horse, I've just found out of another horse connection. This didn't we end up being a horse-based episode. The horsey harrow house of horrendous horrors. Yes. I still like equestrian spread.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Right. How much for the big pop-up, which is not the name of a... I said two pounds 50. I said to you. Two-Fifty. Small bag two, big 250. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Okay. It's not a big bag. It's one big shaft popper There's no shaft popper What you're talking No This is a shaft popper Isn't it
Starting point is 00:31:08 A bag A bag of poppers And I said the big popper Is that And that's a bag of poppers Yeah so what have you given me What I've said That's £2 for the bag
Starting point is 00:31:16 Two 50 for the big popper You need to pay more attention No you need to pay more attention What comes out of your mouth I'm listening trying to write this down Of course Have you written it down now It's written down
Starting point is 00:31:26 Then please Press the fucking button I'm not going to have you end Every Sam and like that It's predictable ridiculous I'm going to say it every time Every time.
Starting point is 00:31:33 Press it. Come, press it. You press the fucking button. Right, what have we done here? Let me just go through the list. What have we got to go? Right, okay. Five items, four to go.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Next item. This is a very different format. Next item. A lot of stuff from Habitat. This says Habitat Kids. Habitat, tat. Sort of a 10-inch box Habitatory
Starting point is 00:32:04 Can you talk into the microphone So when you do interrupt me It's a 10-inch box It says photo frame So that's what I'm assuming it is I'm fuming so too It also has a very basic outline Of a roof
Starting point is 00:32:14 On the cover So maybe it's a roof design Photo frame in here Isn't that just the logo of Habitat though The roof That's right You're right
Starting point is 00:32:20 Yeah absolutely right So I don't know What you expect I'm gonna Fly it's open at the bottom No but it's quite stiffly in there I got it out It's fine
Starting point is 00:32:29 No I don't want to break it You won't though Because it's fine. I'm taking the end out. I'm taking it out from the bottom. Weird. I'm enjoying this. Manipulating cardboard.
Starting point is 00:32:36 I know. It's very nice. Good quality, thick cardboard you get from... Yep. Habitat. Yep. Oh, and there's a thin inner cardboard as well. Very good.
Starting point is 00:32:43 There's a thin inner. Oh, it's coming out. It's upside down. Push, Mr. Silverman. What is it? Oh, God. It has a baboon. Is that a baboon?
Starting point is 00:32:50 Yeah. It's one of those monkeys or apes that has the very long pink yellow and green nose. Probably a big pink ass as well. Almost for certain. Almost for certain. Who has the stripes? Tigers. Tigers have striped.
Starting point is 00:33:02 That doesn't look like a tiger. It looks more like a cheater though in terms of it sort of... It looks more like a bear. Honestly, it looks more like a bear to me. It looks like a leopard or a cheater because it's very skinny. It looks too skinny for a tiger. Anyway, it's sort of an African wildlife themed photo frame. It's skinny because you're seeing it front on it and it's all...
Starting point is 00:33:20 They're wood shapes compact. That's why though, isn't it? It's skinny because it's at its front and side, so it's kind of like all brought in. There will be photos on the website. It's got a fat neck. I'll say you that for. No, it's got one of that. His neck doesn't even...
Starting point is 00:33:32 No. It's just one big thing all the way down. It's just tall and then face where the neck would be. Anyway. The baboons are just terrifying, though. That's the kind of thing there. If I saw that in the middle of the night's staring back at me, I wouldn't sleep. But this is exactly the kind of thing you might put into a children's bedroom.
Starting point is 00:33:45 Yeah. Isn't it? Maybe. For me, this is just a little too nice. It's a wooden frame. It's all made of wooden things and the animals are in front of the frame. Which is a balloon shape almost, isn't it? And it's got little catches on the back, put a photo in there or a small drawing.
Starting point is 00:33:59 I don't like photo. I don't like photo. photo frames in general I don't really have a strong opinion but I don't want them in my house with photos in I don't know it's pointless
Starting point is 00:34:07 I don't want to stare at I don't have them either no I just you know it's just not a thing for me I would never want a photo frame on a window ledge
Starting point is 00:34:15 with my mum on why not I just don't know don't you love her you've ruined it again I haven't ruined it I'd ask you a simple question how much for
Starting point is 00:34:25 the little lovely wooden jungle theme photo frame from Habitat 3 quid What am I on now Add it all up No add it all on
Starting point is 00:34:35 Hang on Again the taste It's a little too nice A little too sort of How much you say again Middle class coded You know One more time
Starting point is 00:34:44 For my taste How much did you say Three Three So far you spend Three four five Six seven Eight nine
Starting point is 00:34:50 Ten eleven Twelve Thirteen pound And I've got three items left You've got Twelve pound of that I'm gonna have to revise The shit out of this
Starting point is 00:34:59 basically possibly can we get to the end first and then as ever let's get to the end I'll allow me to make some more visions of course I will I'm not a monster or shall I give you next because we've done that we've done that oh here's the next shit thing there's any food in there what's that then okay it's an it's another box this is Sainsbury's home so two companies so far have been dominating Habitat and Sainsbury's this is a neon sign that says raw green neon sign that says raw how about this for an advert for Habitat like coming to Habitat how about that Habitat?
Starting point is 00:35:29 Habitat, how about that? Come to Habitat. How about that? No, it's too working class. How that's what they want in it? No, they didn't. They want to reach more people. Habitat, how about that?
Starting point is 00:35:39 No, that sounds too northern. It's just £2.99. How about that? No, that wasn't the brand wasn't like that. Habitat. It was more like Habitat. Oh, that'll do nicely. That kind of thing.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Habitat. How will you do with that? Habitat. No, it's like this. Habitat. Oh, how about that? That's what the thing, though. New advertising.
Starting point is 00:36:00 Say an RP, how about that? Don't go, about that. Like a fucking oik. Habitat. How about that? Yeah, there you go. I'm getting a habitat vibe. All right, yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Now, I'm just trying to... If you listen to, Mr. Habitat. Try not to break this. You like neon, don't you, Paul. I like it aesthetically, but practically, I don't think they're very good. These are all new. These are all mint on card these items. Effectively, yeah. I was hoping you wouldn't have to tear that box so I could give to a charity shop.
Starting point is 00:36:23 It's very siftly in. What is it? Oh, it is a neon... I'm having this. You want that as well, do you? Look, because it's... It's a fake neon sign that says raw in, like, joined up writing
Starting point is 00:36:32 because it's neon. And that's it. I thought it was... I thought it was posable. I thought you could destroy the word and just turn it into a squiggly light of your own. I guess you could if you... No, but is it flexible?
Starting point is 00:36:43 Will it break? I think it break. You might be able to pop it out of the frame and then move it around. I don't know. Turn it on, see what it looks like. Because, you know, what I like... Oh, is it not...
Starting point is 00:36:51 The battery's dead. Batteries are dead. Oh, shame. It came with the batteries then. Well, no. Maybe someone put it in and returned it or something. Oh, no, this is new. Glows up green.
Starting point is 00:37:00 It does not glow green anymore. Do we want to put some new batteries in, see what happens. Yeah, please. Oh, wait there. There you go. It's come on, everybody. So apparently it just had a little tab in to protect the battery life. I didn't realize.
Starting point is 00:37:10 We should have known. That's quite bright, though, isn't it? Roar. Why does it say Roar? Because they like Katie Perry a lot. I don't know. I'm going to have to have this as well. You could have it.
Starting point is 00:37:17 I like lights in my room. I know, and that's not a bad one to have on a shelf in the corner, giving it a kind of weirdly kind of nice glow. If I put it upside down, it doesn't say Roar anymore. No, it looks more abstract. Oval. Or something, yeah. Ravro.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Ravol. And it has two little hooks. Yeah. It's not a bad thing. But Mr. Silverman, I've got to ask you. I've got to. What's the goddamn price? It's weird because I seem to have overestimated the price of everything here.
Starting point is 00:37:45 And I've been saying they're a tiny fraction of what these things would sell for in a store, I'm sure. Possibly. I don't understand. I can imagine them trying to flogging. that for like 12 quid 10 quid yeah every item cost 12 quid maybe not the posters but i mean i don't know i don't know you gave me there's not they don't cost all every item together doesn't cost more than 12 quid you told me and i think even that's an overestimation i think it's more like 11 pound 20p or something altogether but again we can go over it at the end so just give me a gut-feeling
Starting point is 00:38:13 price now of the raw sign like 150 one 175 we're doing the normal rules i get two for each if it's on 25p either way. I don't think this could be the end of my run of form. Well, we'll have to see. And because if you're silly cheaters clause, you might score more points. You could only say that if you'd fought against it and denied it. But very early on, you said it was fine.
Starting point is 00:38:36 We've negotiated it. Fair and square. So you now can't therefore say it's bullshit if you've agreed to it. I'm not going to. And you even change the parameters to make them fit your clauses needed to do this. Yes. We had a negotiation. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:38:47 All right. I just don't want to hear any of this fucking cheating bullshit from you. Yeah. All right? I'm the big cheat. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:53 Yeah. Well, no, you're not a cheat. What are you? You're a kind of like point manipulator. You're a just. You cheat. You're not. I don't cheat.
Starting point is 00:39:00 What about that time when you cheated and you wouldn't show me the piece of paper? Yeah, because that was funny and I did it for the podcast. Oh, that's funny, so it's not cheating when it's funny. No. Who decides what's funny? Me. You do not decide what's funny. You don't know anything about what's funny.
Starting point is 00:39:12 No, neither do you. That's literally who I said you are, but what am I? That's what you're doing. Yes. That's what you're doing. That's all you have. That's good, isn't it? That's the only argument technique you've got.
Starting point is 00:39:21 Well, the thing is, you're, like, arguing with, like, an idiot. It's like, no matter of what logic I could put forward in your head, you've already formulated a particular way of being unbeatable. Listen, he's such a bastard, isn't he? Just saying, you keep coming at me with this, you're a cheat, you're a this or a that, until it works in your favour, and then everything's hunky-dory, you're the best of it. So, you need to pick aside of where you're going to be. Listen, again, I'm starting to detect a little width of the sour grapes.
Starting point is 00:39:45 Come in the, and from your bollock area. Did it more than sour? Yes, they're cheesy, sour. They're pruned. Pruned dates. Dangly cheesy prunes. Dangly prunes in their silken sack. Right.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Next item, I believe. Yes, please. You've done the price. We've got, is it one more? No, two more. Two more? I can't believe. I've already gone way over the price.
Starting point is 00:40:06 I know. It's going crazy. Let's find out. I'm going to have to revise these. Right, this one is a game. I can tell you that for now. By university games, who have been around for a while. Oh, it's got a good weight to it, Paul.
Starting point is 00:40:18 It's got a good weight to it. University games, you've come across any of their work before? Yeah, they've been banging out games for decades, actually. And even done some license IPs. I think on the League of Extraordinary Board Games channel, we've already done a university games. I want to say one of them was a countdown. They did a version of a countdown.
Starting point is 00:40:34 So either way, they're legit. Are they sort of like a classy company seen as? I wouldn't say classy, but they're more kind of adult maybe based, or certainly a bit more serious. Do you ever Stanley? Because this is mint on card. Let me give you this, because I can use this. Oh, it's coming to the board.
Starting point is 00:40:49 This game is called five-star review game. Five-star review game? The aim of the game, Paul. The aim of the game. Collect five-star cards, one in each category. Right. The winner is the first to collect one card from each category and then to log out. So that is like trivial pursuits.
Starting point is 00:41:07 Get your pie and then. Yeah. Yeah. Categories. So it is questions, is it? Yeah. I mean, I don't know. About what?
Starting point is 00:41:13 About showbiz? No, it's about five-star reviews. So things that have been reviewed. been reviewed online. There are questions. Oh, the board's quite elaborate. It's, well, not really. It's just a network. It looks like little nodes colored. Neuro network. Neural network nodes. And then you just basically go along these edges. That's actually what they call in maths, a simple graph. Do you know what it reminds me of? The adventure game, when you had to do that last thing, we had to go across a grid like that. And there was
Starting point is 00:41:38 it. It suggests a 3D sort of surface of a hypersphere or something like that, doesn't it? How to play. Each player chooses a playing piece. Place them in the log in square. The youngest player goes first. Yeah, you just jump around. I don't think this is complete because it doesn't seem to be... Well, it must be complete because... No, one-star wonders. It was sealed with the factory sticker.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Yeah, there's only two one-star wonder cards. Maybe that's the only two there is because they're rare or something. They're very rare. Okay, do you want a historical howlers question? The title of which novel is missing from this 1857 review. It's all review-based trivia. Okay. All right, that's interesting.
Starting point is 00:42:11 So the title is in the review. And they've cut it out. Yes. So I have to guess what it is based on the rest of the... Okay, it's not blankety-blank, though, is it? It's like blankety-blank. No, because blank-to-blank has a flexibility where any word can work in that sentence, and it's about the consensus of how many people think that's that word.
Starting point is 00:42:24 The missing word is like blank-to-blank. It's just fill in the blanks. It's just fill in the blank. Yeah, like blank-dy-blank. It's more like that. No, it's more like that word from the newspaper round from I got news for you. Tony Blair, blank's pig. Fucks.
Starting point is 00:42:38 It is difficult to estimate, estimate, the amount of good, which may be done by blank. That's the novel's name It is difficult to what, sorry 1857 It is difficult to estimate the amount of good Which may be done by The novel
Starting point is 00:42:54 Is it? It's a multiple choice Can I just grab my glasses? Can I grab my glasses? Yeah, grab your glasses It's a multiple choice here, Paul So you're in luck Give us some multiple choice then, Governor
Starting point is 00:43:05 All right Black Beauty A, Black Beauty B, Jane Eyre C, Tom Brown's School Days Oh, I bet it's Tom Brown's school days I don't know what that novel is It's like just William kind of thing
Starting point is 00:43:17 You know what I mean? It's about Adventures at School of a little boy I guess And it must be like one of these things That is kind of like The British Tom Sawyer I'd have to read
Starting point is 00:43:24 I'll give you one The facts and stats What about I give you one? Yeah, okay give me one from that The historical howlers All right They'll get there's five more categories Or something in the box
Starting point is 00:43:34 Oh is there? Must be Because it says there's six categories Right Which 1969 album was reviewed In the New York Times As an unmitigated disaster Right, 1969 album
Starting point is 00:43:44 New York Times said it was an unmitigated disaster. Was it? Led Zeppelin by Led Zeppelin, Tommy by the Who, Abbey Road by the Beatles. Led Zeppelin? Abbey Road by the Beatles. Hmm, snotty, snotty. Right.
Starting point is 00:43:57 I just knew, I knew that Zeppelin were very poorly reviewed. This could be something we do again on a cheap shot episode. Do you like these questions, yeah? If you do on a cheap shot. So this is different category. Mate, we've got a cheap shot recording next week of session. We do want to do this for it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:09 So go on, give us one of these. True or false? True or false. All right. In 2010, British Historic. Orlando Figuez admitted writing negative online reviews of other historians work under a false name.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Oh, it's true or false. I hate these 50-50 ones because my gut goes either way. I'm just going to go ahead and say true. Yeah, it would have to be, I guess. Give me one of those. Eli? Yeah, true or false? In 2011, the ultra-low budget independent movie friction
Starting point is 00:44:36 received over 1,000 1-1-star reviews on Netflix before it turned out that the platform was streaming the wrong movie, true or false. False. It was true. You're all true. Well, no, they can't all be true. They're all fucking true, aren't they?
Starting point is 00:44:50 That's the gimmick. No, otherwise the round is just read a fact. One star wonders. All right, go on. Let's do one more these. It had fallen out of a whole pack. All right. What earned this one star review?
Starting point is 00:44:59 It was definitely too long for me and I got tired. A, the Bible. B, the Great Wall of China. C. The Lord of the Rings. No. The Bible. No. Great Wall of China, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:12 Totally wrong in everywhere. The Great Wall of China? A one. Star Review. It must be a book called The Great Wall of China or something. Oh, no, they mean it was too long, yeah. Oh, no, it's like a trip advisor review, isn't it? For the Great, they went to the Great Wall of China.
Starting point is 00:45:24 Right. What got this one star review? It just wasn't for me. It feels like there was death everywhere. Was it? The TV series, Chernobyl, a memorial to 9-11, or the novel, 50 Shades of Grey. A memorial to 9-11. Is sadly the correct answer.
Starting point is 00:45:41 Yeah, these are those sort of like, yeah. But inappropriate, like, you know, like people who go to Chinese restaurants and go, they didn't do chips or, you know, me. Yeah, those kind of reviews. The sauce was too Chinesey for me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Right, okay, what was the price of this game, though?
Starting point is 00:45:55 Well, it's a quality thing, mint on card. It's a brand new. Brand new. You've got the little papers, a band around the card packs in there and everything. The little player pieces haven't been popped out of the card. He's got that smell. It's got that lovely new board games.
Starting point is 00:46:09 Now give it a hot, Mr. Zimmer, please. Give it a smell. Give it a stuff. It's bound to be. It's brand new. A nice cardboard. A nice cardboard. A nice new.
Starting point is 00:46:18 A little bit of scent of the glue maybe. Just a sense of glue. Sense of a gloom-man. Horses. Horses. We're back to horses again. Glew. Glew.
Starting point is 00:46:28 How much is the game? Got to be three quid. If it's a day, got to be three quid. Is that the last thing? No, the last thing. I'm sure it adds up to 12. Did you do bad maths? No.
Starting point is 00:46:39 All right. Because when we go through it, it'll be very obvious that I didn't. fuck it up because it's pretty much an easy count-up, so I'm happy with that. Right, last item then. Oh, I can't wait for this one. Eli, I'm going to hand you a big red bag, a fabric bag.
Starting point is 00:47:02 It's a deluxe boxing set. From a toy company called Chad Valley. It's a five-piece boxing set. It says the champ on it. I'm not into this. I don't want to spa. I'm not. You know what?
Starting point is 00:47:12 I'm honest, he bought it thinking maybe they'll put it on and then punch each other about it. I don't want to do that. And can we just say, Ben, ha, ha ha ha ha. But we're too old and tired and hot right now to bother with any of that. Oh, there's a little mini punch bag. That's pretty cool. All right.
Starting point is 00:47:25 I'll tell you what, I can hold that. You can point to. Yes, yes, for sure. That's kind of cute, actually. You've got to put a glove on first. I've got to put both on. Oh, but they're tiny. Well, my hands will probably fit.
Starting point is 00:47:35 I don't know. Does that skip, trotters? There's a skip. Do they fit trotters? Do they? Paul. Do they? I don't know, actually.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Your porky trotters, isn't there? They are quite small. Yeah, they are very small. They're for kids, obviously. And they're not padded on the bottom. No. There we go, though. They do fit.
Starting point is 00:47:52 They do fit me. I do have small hands. And there's a skip rope. And what's that thing there as well, Paul? Oh, it's a little head band thing for your head. Yeah. It's wrong so often. But it on.
Starting point is 00:48:02 You're fucking wrong. Oh, it's like a helmet, yeah. How many times are you fucking wrong? Oh, mate, there's only two cards here. What's the point you've only had two cards? What's the point? It must be shit there. There's any two cars.
Starting point is 00:48:10 It must be empty. It's been open. Oh, where's the rest of them? Sorry, that's wrong. That was one wrong thing. No, that's just the thing you remember the pointer. I'm trying to hold up one finger, but I've got this glove on. It doesn't look like a bullshit.
Starting point is 00:48:19 Oh, do you want me to put the helmet on? You take a photo? Yeah, obviously. Can you help me? Because I've put one of these gloves on now. Please put that on my head. Make sure it's the right way round. It's a little fake helmet.
Starting point is 00:48:28 Fake boxer's helmet. No, I think it's inside out, though, Paul. Yeah. Is that right? Yeah, that's right. Because it says the champ on the front. Oh, sweet. Pretty cool, little. If you were into boxing and wear a child, is that going to go?
Starting point is 00:48:41 Is it going to go on, though? I can't hold it because of my hand. Get it underneath the gin strap there. That's it. Oh, fuck it hell. I feel like some of a wizard of ass. Do I? Let's see.
Starting point is 00:48:50 Let me see that. Okay, I'll show you the picture. Here we go. I don't know what it looks like. I think you look good. Loaded shit. Right, can you help me get this other glove on? Come on, you've got to be my corner man.
Starting point is 00:49:01 You're my corner man. Come on, what should I do? Put me eye. cut the eye come and push this glove on push the glove on we've only got 10 seconds push the horse's chuffer

Starting point is 00:50:00 You're hard too long. It's not the width, it's the length. Yeah. yeah he dead the twelf right right but how much is it basically it's a combination of a fucking out i'm lacking from just holding the bag actually it was more stressful and like uh like exercise just getting the gloves on you than it was doing the punching he really was yeah i enjoyed that it's like you really were my daddy right so come on outside i'll teach you out to ride that bike that's at least a fiver
Starting point is 00:50:30 so i'm going to say five right please but i need to revise down the posters and so forth Fox Fiverr right in that case it is on to the recoup of the scores Recoop Revision of the scores And then the reveal So let's get into that Right now
Starting point is 00:50:44 It has been a banger of an episode Full of all sorts of crazy stuff So we start with the posters Which I definitely overpriced Not knowing what was coming Yeah we have posters Poppers, photos Raw Signed game game
Starting point is 00:50:55 I'm gonna say 50P For the postus Wait wait wait I've got a Yeah Yeah Oh, it's getting close to being racist. Let's get out, get out, get out.
Starting point is 00:51:15 Right then, let's go through the top. And you just tell me if you want to keep the score or change the score. All right, change the place. Fine. Starting with, we'll do all three posters. So you have the Tokyo poster, the Battersea Tower, the Battersea building, and then the abstract one. I want the Tokyo. You said 250 for the Battersea and the Tokyo.
Starting point is 00:51:34 Yeah, I'm going to go down to 150. They're like, no, let's say 75p each. 75 p each. Yes. Okay. And 50p for the other one. Okay, so the bag of party poppers? 150.
Starting point is 00:51:48 You said two pounds. 150. The big party popper thing, the big cannon thing, you said 250. 75p. 75p for that. Okay, the photo jungle thing, you said three. pounds for that. I just feel like it's three pounds. 250.
Starting point is 00:52:04 275. 275 final offer. Okay. The raw neon effect sign, you said that was 175. This is when I started to realize that you'd gone too far. I think 150. Let's go 150 on that. Keep it at 175.
Starting point is 00:52:21 Then I get a between. If it's two quid, I get between. I feel like it's there. And then the boxing game thing set up. You said five pound. Oh no, sorry. The five start. I said, you said three pound.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Let's go down to two. And then the... Let's stay with five. And then the... What am I on now? Wait, wait, wait, wait. Boxing, you're going to keep as five. Can I just see?
Starting point is 00:52:41 Can you just add what I've got and I might take a quid off the box? Okay, two pound, add 75p. 275. Add 75 p. 3.50. Add 50p. 4. Add 1 pound 50.
Starting point is 00:52:53 550. Add 75p. 625. Add 2 pound 75. Oh, good it down quicker so it sounds like you. Nine pounds. One pound seventy-five. Ten, seventy-five.
Starting point is 00:53:05 And then boxing set, you said five. Shit, shit, shit. You want to keep with that? I'm way over, no, no. The boxing go right down to three pounds. All right, here's the scores. Again, I feel like I'm swimming in virgin waters. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:53:21 What the fuck, Eli? What are you talking about? Who'd to cut that out so you don't sound like an idiot? It's too late for that, Paul. It's too late for that. the business off it. Right. Okay.
Starting point is 00:53:34 Right. Have I scored any? Are you going to outscore me probably? Okay. Let me just... Oh yeah, because I'm getting the between thing as well. If it's more than 50p. Let's start with how we did it in order.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Okay, so the Tokyo poster, you said 75p. It was. Well, I tell you, all posters were 45p each. So you get a bettwing for the abstract one, because that's 50p. I said 50. Yeah. So you get one between for that. Oh, baby.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Oh, baby. That's cheap for those. You don't get for the 75 because, no, you're out. They were all three with 45P. Yeah. Yes, they're out. I'm out for that. And I get up a twing for those two.
Starting point is 00:54:07 No, you do not because it's not more than 50p is it. Oh, yeah, 50p is what we said. Thank you. No, fair enough, I just forgot. So no betwiings for you. But one for you. Yes. Bag of party poppers.
Starting point is 00:54:17 You said one pound 50. The answer is, uh, oh, bag, 10 p for that bag. 10 p. 10 p for a big bag of party popers. See, I can't, I can't compete with this. So I get a petwing for that. that one is that right yes right so on that side i'm going to put his between and i'm going to put my between on this side i wish i hadn't agreed to these rules right next one is the big party pop up which you said was way too much 75 p way too much 99 p oh so you get a between wow i just get a
Starting point is 00:54:49 between there just in oh baby weird that was more yeah i know dn p for 50 of those i know bargain but to be honest they must be kind of literally giving those away if they're possible I mean, 10P, you can't buy anything for 10P, anything. A box of matches isn't 10P. Nothing costs 10P, nothing in this world. Apart from them poppers. Weird. Anyway, next one, photograph jungle thing.
Starting point is 00:55:13 You said 275, it was 99P. So another petwing for Gannon. We're neck on neck and neck with betwings there. I think I'm going to get wiped out now. Raw sign, you said £1.75. The raw sign was $1.99. That gets you a betwiing. Bam. Next.
Starting point is 00:55:33 This is all nail-biting stuff. The five-star game. I said. You said two pound. It was $199. So you get a betwiang for that. Oh my God. So close.
Starting point is 00:55:46 Paul, I could have got two betwiings. I didn't know. None of this was being 99 stuff. Tricky. And then the boxing thing. You said three pound. Yeah. It was.
Starting point is 00:55:57 250. Oh, that means I got it between. But I still win by one, right? Four versus three. Hey, but still, not a bad show for someone who didn't play. I'm happy with that. Hey. Well done, yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:10 All right. I'm glad I edged you there. And which one, what are you taking home with you today? I'm taking all three of those posters. They have an absolute bargain. Do you want the neon sign? And I want the neon sign. Okay, and do you want the jungle sign, the jungle thing?
Starting point is 00:56:21 Absolutely not. I don't like that. Needs or nephew. The new one thing, I just will have been nice in the old house of pickles. In the old house of pickles. I like little lighty things. Yeah, I like a little lighty thing. You see my little galaxy thing.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Oh, I like that a lot, yeah. It's nice in the air. You know, you're at home. You know, you might as well live in the modern age. You couldn't have made a lightweight neon thing like this a few years ago, could you? It's not really neon. It's just neon effect. No, I think it is neon.
Starting point is 00:56:45 It's an LED neon. Do you see what I mean? No, but neon is the gas. That is what the thing. I think it's got. Either way, lovely little thing, in it. Thank you, Ben. That was interesting, actually.
Starting point is 00:56:55 It shows you can get some good stuff if you're prepared. I mean, you, you can get some good stuff if you're prepared. I mean, you. You know, like the boxing kit, as cute as it is, it's not going to stay in one piece, is it? No, not really. Past the Christmas morning, is it? I'm not sure a kid who's into boxing and it's the best thing. But then, even then, it's a costume and toy rather than anything serious.
Starting point is 00:57:12 It's not a serious thing. For example, ain't going to stop brain damage in any respect. No, so you've got to, you have to give it to a child that's small enough to still, like, enjoy it as a costume. Yeah, and not encourage them to punch people in the face. Yeah, make sure that child has no psychological issues that may be exaggerated by giving them a violent. All I'm saying is they have to be a kid. kid so small that if they did punch you in the face repeatedly once they got the gloves on it wouldn't be an issue you know what I mean even by then you wouldn't give this to teenagers
Starting point is 00:57:37 because they'd fucking mutilate each other but I mean at least with a kid with that on you could still chin them and get you off you quite easily you know one big solid whack to the jaw would probably take most kids out thank you Ben for your big boxing trips yeah bye everyone right we're back next week and guess what next week we are doing a war about we weren't meant to do it this week but unfortunately weather very bad very heavy rain we wanted to call it off i literally was ready to do it and then you said oh it's going to rain and i thought what a what a little wimp always pulling out and then i saw the rain clouds come in and yeah let's not do that it was serious there was some serious downpour you talk about wet
Starting point is 00:58:19 he were right you talk about wet ems wet everything wet everything wet wet everything wet every wet all including inside your mouth it's usually quite wet yeah All my nose is sometimes quite wet inside. Slimy. It's more slimy than wet, isn't it? I'd say it's more damp. Damp and slush. Slusi.
Starting point is 00:58:37 No, I'm doing something is quite subtle. What about Mr. Silverman? What about? Mr. Silverman, if you don't mind. What about? What about? You don't mind Mr. Silverman, more than thing. What about?
Starting point is 00:58:46 Yeah, bumo. My bummo. Is that wet and slick? Slick with or thick and stick. It depends what type of mood I'm in. Thick and sticky or wet and slippy. Oh, God. Do the housework.
Starting point is 00:58:56 Slipery when wet. No. Slipery when wet. That is the name of Mbon Jovi album. It's not. I'm talking about the signs you see in hospital wards that prevent children from running and falling over. Slippery, when wet. Right.

Starting point is 00:59:39 whatever, it's just so huge, so, you know, unwieldy, under the words, you know what I mean? Maybe they thought the material was suitable
Starting point is 00:59:45 for a podcast channel on YouTube music. Who would do that? Why would it do that? algorithmically? No one made a decision. I may have done it as a setting without realizing it.
Starting point is 00:59:53 Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. It's because you can't, either way. It seems like they don't even know What's going on? And it's like, oh, we shouldn't do that. It's your, you, that's your whole business.

Starting point is 01:01:15 Everyone thinks you're a cunt online. Yeah, I wrote that as well. I wrote that. You wrote the whole internet. So the dead internet is, in fact, the Paul Gannon internet. I'm getting a bad boy attitude online that way. And you've got a bad boy attitude online. people think I'm a bit dangerous.
