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,
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I will never stop it.
Oh no, it's too late, one.
Welcome to Cheap Show.
It's Cheap Show.
It's the price of shame.
Welcome to Cheap Show.
The Cheap Show has landed.
It is episode 4-5-2, and Eli and Paul are recording this in the haunted house on Harrow Hill.
The harrowing!
For another episode of the Economy Comedy Podcast, Cheap Show.
The Horrible.
The Horrendous.
Where Eli and I go through the bargain, into charge, of Poundlands and Etcetra, of Great Britain and Beyond.
To bring you back the treasure we find amongst all of that trash, and today, boy, howdy, and we got a lot of trash to wade through.
The horrible haranguing, horrendous, horrifying house on a harrow on the hill.
Nicely done, Dr. Seuss.
Thank you for joining in.
Dr. Uncle Fat Guy.
Dr. Sploose.
Dr. Splush.
Tiddler, hey.
Dr. Splush, it's a slow burn for me that, but you got there.
Tiddly hay and tidily who.
What's that dirty sticky goo?
Tiddly dumb and tidily ha.
I think it's come from old grandpapa.
He's trying to do a pastiche, everybody, of the Dr. Sue's style of children's book.
It drips it hard.
It drips it soft.
It drips it from the loft.
And what is in the loft?
It's Grandad Spoff.
Dr. Sploosh.
Cool.
Dr. Sploosh.
I'm glad me being good at stuff
has raised your game.
Splush.
Knob Spooja.
The Splat and the hat.
Nob Spooja sausage.
The splat in the hat.
The Spooge
that saved,
that Stokes Chris Gismis,
the X one.
The Lorax.
Peen juice and spam.
Pean juice and spam.
Yeah?
Pean juice and spaff.
I will not have it.
Pean juice and spam.
Spath.
I will not.
Have it.
Not for a laugh.
Peen,
peen,
peen,
juice and spath.
Oh,
I choke myself.
Oh, the places
we will go today,
ladies and gentlemen,
on the podcast.
PIN,
juice and smath.
You'll just keep saying that?
Yes.
Is that all you've got now?
Yes, I do.
I do.
Anyway,
tickets are still available
for our live show,
October 18th
as part of the
Cheerful Earful Podcast Festival.
Go to our website.
The Cheapser.
com.
You'll find the link there
anyway.
Our guests will be
comedian's Nick Helm, Realina,
we've got a lot of surprises
and also I can confirm Cheap Show pin badges
a new set will be available for sale
with some spare albums
and some additions of the CheapShare magazine
so lots of lovely merch that we're happy to
sell and sign after the show
And there is a stray noodle on that badge design
that looks like I've got a hard on
or a bendy broken knob on
I haven't really looked at that.
Noodle knob.
Oh well it's a bonus.
It is a bonus but that's going to
going to be available. Please come along and see us. You'll have a great time. We're going to celebrate
10 years in the space of 90 minutes. It starts about 2, 2, 2.30 in the afternoon, in London,
Balham, South London. Is it 2 or 230? I have to look at the website. But just aim for 2 and you
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.
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.
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.
I'm father.
I am father, you are son.
No, no, no, no.
This is the House of Cheap Show.
No, no, no.
And you will behave while you're under my roof.
I won't.
Where you're under my roof, Daddy Gannon.
Get some shit out of the box.
No, we're not going to get up.
A little bit more admin.
A little bit more admin.
Oh my God.
Boring.
We hope you all enjoyed the album.
It will be on Bandcamp and Noisland Spotify soon.
So that's another little bit of information.
If you want to get it digitally, it will be available on
camp, hopefully before the end of the month.
What else?
Oh yeah, and all the episodes are now
on fucking YouTube music.
So you can listen to all
452 episodes on YouTube.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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
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
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...
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.
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
Yeah, but you were like,
I'd do that.
So they did three.
They go do five.
No,
I said seven.
Tosca.
Oh yes.
Okay,
well done.
Thank you.
All right.
Press the button.
Thank you.
Thank you.
We're not friends anymore.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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?
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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?
Yeah.
Is it in the background?
Then like a kind of expressionistic, simpleized, simple eyes?
Sort of abstracted.
Skyline.
Blocky and abstracted.
Nice.
Yeah.
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?
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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...
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?
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
Lords
Lord's where they play cricket
Yeah
They're also doing horses now
Horses I'm a god of horse betting
I am the next horse
Please fuck off that out of my mind
Chandra's dirty tundra
That's one
Chandra's Tundra
Chandra's Tundra
Chondra
Can I
Oh, it's a horse
I see
He's into betting horses
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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...
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...
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
For my taste
How much did you say
Three
Three
So far you spend
Three four five
Six seven
Eight nine
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Get your pie and then.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Categories.
So it is questions, is it?
Yeah.
I mean, I don't know.
About what?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
a horse's chuffer is not tight
oh do you know
you can climb up inside it
I can't get it in
you've got your trotters on
come on just pull it down some more
dirty trotters on get in it
I can't do it because I got it
there we go pull it snug
thanks
right here we go he's now going to
punch the bag and I'm going to hold it in the air
hold it in the air
going to fly
No, bough, bough, bough, bough, bough.
Do we, look at that, look at that, give it some, here we go.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, oof, oo, ooh, o.
Quite fun, quite fun.
Oh, the mic's falling off, Paul.
I can't put the mic back.
Oh, can you help me feed the mic back?
So, there you go, little glove.
God, they are tight.
Yeah, you won't be able to get it on.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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

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.
No, I'm doing something is quite subtle.
What about Mr. Silverman?

Oh, they?
For some reason,
it's made them available
as a listenable podcast.
But you didn't upload those
onto YouTube music.
It just said,
yeah,
you do this.
I reckon their architecture
of their software,
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
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.
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.

I read online that everyone thinks you're out of your depth,
doing a radio show by yourself.
No, you have not read that.
I read that just five minutes after I posted it.
Thank you very much.
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.
You know what I mean?
A bit dangerous,
so they'll listen to a dangerous podcast

Thanks, Aaron.
He's going to have to press the button.
I'm going to have to press the button.
I'm going to have to press the button at some point,
but you won't tell me when.
I'll do it when I want to.
And I'm going to do it now.
Thank you.
See you next week, everybody.
Bye-bye.
Do it now.
Do it now.
I won't do it now, then.
That's it.
You've done it.
The pettiness is unbelievable, mate.
Petit Poir.
Do it at some point after I stop saying this.
I'm going to do it now.
Ah, so it would have to be now then, wouldn't it?
Wait, I just realised I can edit this
so I can just have my last word be it anyway,
so it doesn't really matter.
Yes, you can.
So jokes on you.
Fine, you win.
I win.
