Hello, this is Paul Gannon, and guess who this is?
I'm Eli Silverman, hi, everybody.
And we're just here before this week's episode to say,
this episode would not be possible without the massive help of Tom
from Channel 84 Variety Hour podcast show.
It wouldn't exist.
It wouldn't exist.
It would not exist.
We recorded this Tapp Hunt episode,
it would have been two weeks ago now, as of you listening.
And long story short,
now don't say that.
Card was corrupted, I thought I'd lost it,
Tom found it,
rescued it the whole shebang and thanks to him we now have two weeks of episodes for
you to enjoy thank you Tom for rescuing the episode and it is a brilliant thing because we
did have such a lovely time a lot of fun a lot of fun in Teddington and a magic moment I
think it's going to be a classic personally and Tom maybe you salvaged it you
salvaged it from oblivion so say thank you to Tom if you see him on the socials as the
kids say now part one this week is the tat hunt itself where we go into teddington and we look for
the stuff but join us next week because boy howdy whoa does next week does next week go off the rails
you fit about 18 cliches into like 30 seconds there the boy howdy thing the long story short
thing well shut my head in you're not like this in real life you know that door it's only when you
turn it on the fucking what a gay day shut that door the brain fart come
on anyway enjoy the episode no you enjoy the fucking episode here we go you enjoy it
tat hunt part one eat it yes right fine think about it before we do this first
bit so right I'm recording already we're off we're off mate off to the races
already it's no good so good now hello everybody I'm in a good mood I'm feeling
sunshine let's just make it positive right we're in Teddington yeah we're in
Teddington today, yeah?
Yeah. So it's when the cheap show boys go down to Tedding for a picnic. Are we having a picnic?
I mean, we could if you wanted. It's a nice day.
Look, I think I'm going to need to warm up to this week's episode because I've been working
basically three 10-hour days in a row.
You know what I've been doing? Drinking.
Yeah, fuck all you see.
Drink it. Drink it. Drinking. No, I haven't been.
Do you know what? Do you know what I am when I get tired?
Angry.
Really.
really violent and angry.
I'm not trying to make you angry, man.
I'm just trying to entertain everyone.
I'm in a good mood.
The sun is, it is literally a beautiful day, isn't it?
If I didn't know better, I'd say it was a spring day today.
It's got spring day vibes.
Absolutely does.
You absolutely do D-D-D-Rite.
Stop doing my word-cock-up stuff.
That's my gimmick.
You can't have that.
It's because you're tired.
You're actually taking more time, and I'm Mr. Speed up now.
You know this, when I'm more hung over or ill or tired, I'm much better at stuff.
shocking horrible revelation that is yeah it's weird isn't it it's to do if your neurodiversity so look
we're doing a two parts hat hunt today two episodes of the price of one recording in one day
episode one this week we're out and about looking for stuff episode two next week where we
evaluate and price and discuss the things we buy in part one now you may be asking yourselves
why did they choose teddington no them all right they don't know we're in tetherington yet we haven't
told them. I did. I did you? Yeah. Can we do it again? Because I'm playing playing. We're in
Teddington. Is that okay? Is that enough of it? Do you have TV studios here, don't they?
Thames, it was the home of Thames TV at one point? I think I saw Red Dwar
film, do you? Tems. Was Red Dwar Thames? Well, no, because this is like the Red Dwar
when it was in the Dave era. So this, I mean... The Dave era.
Yeah, you know, Dave TV.
Ah, the Dave era. They made, actually commissioned something.
Yeah. For the past like 10 years, they've been doing it?
Is Dave still on? Yeah.
Anyway
Not for long
They're going to take all of them off
Aren't they
There's not going to be any
I don't want to talk about the TV station Dave
You brought it up
No I just said
I just said we filmed
Because you said
Thames TV
And I corrected you by saying it was Dave
It was part of the ongoing discussion
Well done for knowing that
No you can't now
I just decided
No come on please
I've got stuff to say
Right
Well listener
You may be asking yourself
Why? Why have they gone to Teddington
Now if you were a patron supporter of
podcast you would have you listened to episode a night bus and that we keep her out
this year because we released that one we released it for everyone did we at the end
it was the night bus to Heathrow we took the London's longest bus route which
used to be the X-7 the X-26 but is now in the Superloop network and is this
SL7 from West Croydon to Heathrow on that journey documented in the in the
night busing episode if you don't know what night busing is it's a it's a it's a
spin-off episode where we go on night buses and we talk yep yep yep yep yep right on that episode
we we stop I'm just this is how I'm getting involved on that episode yeah we went through a place
and Paul noted there's a load of charity shops and it looked like an absolute oasis of charity shops
and Paul said remember what the next station is
now the next station was Hat and Cross
and it turned out when I looked it up
that the stretch of that route we were on
is actually the longest gap between
bus stations
bus stops rather on the whole of the network
Paul
it's hard to put your finger on where we passed as a result
now I looked up the route
and I saw where Hatten Cross was
and I saw what the next stop before
was and then I looked at triangulated onto what the nearest station was and it was
Teddington we're standing outside Teddington station right now and it's a lovely day
now there are two main sort of shopping streets here which I believe that bus went through
broad street Teddington and the high street so I'm not exactly sure which one we went down
but it's one of those two so there you go there I think a clue will be when we see the
super loop on that route on the road
exactly exactly right so so I think that's where we should we should start looking and we're
that's why we're here but we're hoping for good charity shop bounty today and there are the
rules of the game which Paul will lay out now we'll do it after the in no we'll do the we'll
bring the music here I don't even know anymore this is the cold open into the intro music and
then after the warm it's warm intro in it work to knacket old ticket machine in a bin bag
wrapped in bin bag it looks like it's going to a Halloween party and with you know in the 80s
bin bag no do you remember going to a Halloween yeah last minute everyone would go as a punk
because they go oh to got a bin bag you know at uni it's more of a uni thing it is it's like a
half-assed so what you're saying is this out-of-use a ticket machine for cars is actually
dressing up as a 1980s fancy dress punk no yes but in brighton university maybe has sunk a few
you know I don't think this is going to work for our audience that one that's an analogy too far
And you know, you know what works, don't you?
Take a picture of it, put it on our website,
they'll decide for themselves if it was an astute observation
or typical Eli mouth garbage.
Although it is a beautiful day, it's not going to be great for photography, everyone.
Why?
Because there's harsh light and big...
Harsh light.
Right, well...
Got nothing.
We need a coffee.
I need some to eat.
I need some to eat.
Well, then, hello.
Should we find the high street?
Let's go and do that, yeah.
Right, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls of all ages, welcome to Cheap Show.
We're on a two-part episode, part one, begins today with Tat Hunt.
What, where are we in?
Teddington.
Teddington?
Teddy.
Yeah.
It's all going to be Teddy bears.
They keep popping up as well in a synchronous way for me now.
What, Teddy's?
Yeah.
Even like little negligence.
The other day I sent in a picture for the next Cheap Show magazine, the event is.
To avenge it.
and one of the photos I took
was of...
I might just cut to the music now.
I might just cut to the music now.
I'm going to get bored of this.
Stop!
You can never let me finish my point.
Was other highlighter pen teddy bear gummy thing?
Great. I'm glad I let that pat out.
And I'm the teddy bear's picnic?
Come on.
You're good at those songs, those others.
Not until I've had a coffee.
All right. We're going to try that later.
Promise me you'll try a cheap show version
of the Teddy Bears Picnic Song
you incorporating our trip to Teddington today
in the lyrics please
Today's the day the cheap show boys go to Teddington
Thank you
Fuck me
Where are we though
Press the fucking credit
Silverman, welcome to Jeep Show.
Storces and words and phrases.
Two things I'm responsible for.
Chodney Borough.
I hate you.
I got to be a posse.
Jeep Show to mine.
It's the Price of Shite.
Welcome to Cheap Show.
Welcome to Cheap Show.
Right, so here we are on High Street.
High Street and there's Broad Street.
Now, I'm going to give my regards to that for now,
but we're going to take the High Street.
Hello, it's Cheap Show and Paul Gannon.
That's Eli Silverman.
Hi, everybody.
Lovely to be here again.
And we're doing Tatund part one today in Taddington or therein.
The rules just so.
we'll get out the way now right the rule is because we change it every now and then
depending on our mood and what we want to do how many chats have we done I think this is
our fourth this is off only our second two-parter though yes true maybe our third two-parter
I don't know I don't listen to the podcast it's awful two part of the third two part of the
fourth a third yeah I don't know either way so the rules this time is I'm going to give
Eli a tenor I'm going to get myself a tenor and basically we're going to try and find
as much stuff for that tenor as possible, whether that's an album, a board game, a toy, a
gadget, some, uh, trinket. So what is the guiding principle? Interesting things. Yeah.
Is that it? Or the more bang for your book for a tenor. Yeah, but I mean, there might be a whole
heap of tiles for like 50p. We don't have all those around. And they could technically be best
value for money. What I'm saying is, we need stuff, like scary toys. All the
look, you know our audience, you know the show, get what you think would be good for those.
Don't go and get tiles because, oh, the remit is value for money.
Well, that's what you just said, bang for your buck.
Be happy, life is too short, says that window scraping.
It's graffiti on the, scraped into some kind of paint on the inside of the glass, everyone.
And then in part two, we'll look at all our stuff and we'll debate which one got the best stuff for a tenor.
I think it's going to be me.
to live in that.
Yeah, but a bed is really nice.
And it's, what, three bedrooms and two bathrooms?
That's pretty good, to be fair, for the money.
Yeah, because your miles away from the tube, aren't you?
Yeah.
You still have to spend more money to get to your station or your bus.
You know, it's the whole thing.
This is Poshlands, and we're infiltrating it.
I think this is, well, we're going to check the bus stop, aren't we?
Yeah.
To see if this is on the route.
Well, there was no super loop.
Oh, look at that. That's nice.
Now, from the Wikipedia page, you see, it says Teddington Branch.
Awesome Studio.
But that was originally a Lloyd's Bank.
That's why it still says Teddington Branch over it.
Fair enough.
I presume you'll take a picture of that, so people who are interested
can see it on Instagram or our website.
It's lovely, isn't it?
Yeah.
But now it's currently awesome studios, which looks, I mean, it looks like a studio space,
maybe for performance and dance.
It does look.
It's a really lovely Coppola entrance,
I think, is what they call it, a Coppola, yeah?
I don't know.
I mean, I don't know.
You could be making this up, I wouldn't know.
But I thought you were going to do a gag.
Francis Ford Coppola.
I haven't had been coffee yet.
Oh, mate, we need to get coffee in you.
Have you had none today?
Well, that's why.
My mate has an escort right.
So Francis Ford's Coppola.
Oh, I hate this.
I hate this. I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this.
So we're going to get some money. Actually, you know what we're going to do before we do anything.
We're going to get a coffee. We're going to chill. I'm going to down it.
Then I'm going to get your money out. And then I'm going to get my money out. And then we're going to start the game.
Sound like a plan?
Okay, great.
Yeah? Yeah.
And then we'll do High Street. And then we'll go the other way to Broad Street, yeah?
And, yeah, I'll give my regards when I get there.
I've done that. I've done that guy.
You gave your regards, really?
I gave it, yeah. I can't wait another day.
I'm just saying, I can't forget them with that.
less of those words now.
I can't wait another day
because I love you.
Is that no more lonely?
That was no more lonely night, so I was singing.
Kavan Bakery apparently been baking daily since 1929.
I've been baking.
What's daily?
Is that kind of cake or something?
Oh God.
We need coffee.
Let's go get coffee.
We'll see it a bit, everyone.
What?
also if I say
I don't like myself anymore
if I say during today's recording
see you in a bit
or if I say
right we are
and then I say where we are
you have to smack me on the back of the head
because I was listening to another episode
where I kept on saying that
and I was getting angry
so every time I say see in a bit
before I stop recording
or if I start a recording
by saying the word right
or okay
I've given you permission to smack me
on the back of the head
okay mate we'll do
but if you fucking smack me too hard
then you'll smack me back
No, I'm going, no, I'm going, oh, there.
And then rub me tugger.
Right, okay, let's get some cash out.
What's this?
What?
Parklet alert.
Parklet alert.
Rubbish taxi.
Yeah, it's a van, that's why.
Here's a little parklet.
Yeah.
Landmark art centre
where you can see John Isley,
the life and times of dire straits
and a Q&A of music and memories.
Was he another guy in dire straits?
I have no idea.
Can you name
Anyone?
From Dire Straits?
Mark Knopfler?
Yeah, well done.
That's the only one I could tell you.
Oh, I remember Andy Parsons?
He used to be on TV.
Oh, I'm on the party.
Oh, I'm on the party!
That's not it.
I bet he's got a podcast, huh?
Oh, they've all got podcasts, mate.
A little update for everyone listening along.
This isn't the place that we saw on the night bus that time.
No, it's not.
It must be around here somewhere, but we have seen some charity shops.
One was shut.
And one was only for kids.
Yeah, this was all full of nappies and baby clothes and stuff.
Farrah, but it would have toys, and we're allowed in.
Men are allowed in.
No, I know, but I just, I don't know.
I'm not comfortable as our first stop being at a charity shop largely for families
to buy stuff for their kids, that's all.
We could pop in there and get some sweet toys for our listeners.
I'm sure all our listeners would be agreeing with me now.
Why am I talking like this?
I don't know.
Why am I so crap this week?
Do you want to have this discussion every week?
because we could
very easily
you know what
pishing needed
I went for a pish
in the coffee shop
oh yeah we've had a coffee
we've brought out the 10 pounds
we need each for our challenge
we're both thinking that maybe
Teddington might not be the place
to do this cheap shop
but we have not checked Broad Street
which is the other street
which definitely has a stop
that's what we're doing now
Teddington Broad Street is a stop
on the Super Loop 7 so
so maybe we should just go
to Broad Street then
I wouldn't mind sitting on one of these lovely logs
There's a log here
And also having a piss behind that tree
Well, you should do both of those things
Why?
No, once so
If I sit on that log
You could carry the log over
And I could piss the whole way
Into your mouth
Like that
Squeezing it
How about
How about I pull the foreskin back
So it goes, you know
It's a hard jet
Into your mouth
And it hits the top roof of your mouth
Like a fountain
Like one of those
Can't believe you're saying
This aren't church property
There's a church here
And you're saying
vile stuff. What I want you
to do, ideally, is pull out your little toadstool
right, jam it, pull the foreskin
back, jam it right up my nose and blast
back in my nasal passage with your
skanky fucking piss
until I'm literally like
you can tell he's had his coffee
everyone. As I'm like choking on your
fucking horrible piss, that's cascading
down my throat.
And don't be turning this off and
don't be saying anything
that you don't need to be saying.
if you know, catch my drift.
How about this?
To prove that I'm a gentleman
and I won't record you peeing,
I'll let you press stop on the recorder
and then you can crack on, all right?
Okay.
So with that being said,
I am now going to allow Eli to turn this off
and we will come back to you
after this short break.
That one?
Yeah, that one.
No, no, not that one.
The little black square with the square on.
Yeah, I am going to record him
because fuck you.
Now I'm just going to be super,
quiet.
Can you shut off. Can you stop?
He is having a piss by a treat.
I don't know if you heard that but it was funny but only for my perspective.
right we're on the bus and we're getting off the bus now we're on the what is this
bus called r68 yeah r68 but we're now heading to our broad street where already we've seen
in oxfam so already we're excited about what to expect here as we get off
right here we are we're off we're off uh yes right so we're on broad street and it looks much more
promising doesn't it it looks like the high street is the sort of posh end and uh broad streets for the people
do you know what i'm saying the more there's a boots there looks like there's chains down here
there's a boots yeah uh cafe nero super drug and we're outside
the ubiquitous Gales, who are, I would say, the most expensive of the coffee shop chains in London.
I'll have a coffee and a small bat, please. Why? That's only £42 and 76, please. Why? I'll pay it for I have a big job in the city.
And look... Oh, there's the Superloop stops. We're right. We're right. Yeah. So this must be...
Where we came by on that. This must be the exciting High Street that excited our...
Wet our whistle all those years ago.
Those two years ago.
Yeah.
No, it was a long time ago.
Fuck me, I hate time.
I genuinely hate the passing of time.
But imagine if there was no time, then nothing would ever happen.
And you couldn't even finish your first ever thought or even started.
I wouldn't exist to thought.
I wouldn't exist to have a thought, would I?
So you love time?
You depend on time, don't you?
No, no, I'm saying.
You utterly depend on time.
You hate the way that time passes.
Yeah, that's what I said.
That's like saying I hate time.
No.
Because time is fine.
Time is fine.
I'm fine with time, but time passing is what really grind my gears.
All right?
All right.
I don't like going, oh, there's a whole year.
It has to pass for it to exist, though.
There's no time without it passing, is there?
All right, let me just put it this way.
You have to shit, right?
Humans have to shit.
Sometimes you have a bad shit you'd wish you hadn't had or regret.
But that's not like...
You can't regret a shit.
Of course you can.
But what I'm saying is you don't hate the whole concept of shitting
just because you had a bad one.
You can regret the moment you took the shit, but taking the shit is never a regret.
I know, so I'm not complaining about this concept of time.
I'm talking about how high sometimes.
Feel old.
Feel like an old fuck.
And feel like time is like racing away.
And I can't grab it long enough to hold onto it and just live in the moment.
Well, let's try to do a bit of that today here in Teddington Broad Street, whilst we go on a little tat hunt for everyone to hear.
What are you hoping to pick up today, Paul?
Alright, well I've got a tenor in my pocket
I've got a tenor too
And I think the plan is
I'm going to look for
A quantity over quality
I think
As many items as possible
I'm going to try to unless something wows me
Of course
We'll have a little informal
Oh there's the SL7
There it is
Yeah
We were up there
A lamenta
Um
Paul
You know where we could
Record
Part 2
In the chapel at Heathrow
Yeah let's do that
We couldn't do that.
Yeah, because you could get home easy from there as well.
Yeah, and you could as well, theoretically.
Yeah, I'm up for it.
100% up for it.
Great idea.
Now.
Yeah. Go on.
Just parked up next to us the SL 7.
It's going to be its last stop for fucking miles by the sounds of things.
Well, that is, that, from this to the next stop.
Yeah.
Is that, I don't think we even stopped here, though, because it was the middle of the night, wasn't it?
It went right past it.
It went right past this stop, I'm sure.
But all I'm saying is we'll have an informal competition who can get the most amount of
out of things now we need to figure out how to break this up are we gonna you go
one way I go the other I'll tell you what then how about this I'm gonna start
on the other side of the road yeah walk up and then you start on this side of the
world we'll meet to the top yeah catch up walk back the other way to here and then
uh fantastic I'll see I don't know okay so I'll meet you back I'll meet you back
here what we'll meet at the top of the road yeah at about what give it 45
minutes I think yeah half an hour half an hour at two at three
Yeah, half an hour.
All right, see you then.
See you in a bit.
All right, see you then.
Oh, shit.
I wish I hadn't said that now.
I've got a ring on as well.
Don't smack me with your ring finger, please, Daddy.
Don't say it.
Don't say it.
We will be along later.
Press the button.
I should stop saying that.
You got to stop say that.
So smack me.
Ah, oh.
It's got to get kinky.
right well it's been about half an hour 40 minutes and i've reached the end of my side of the road
taking a sit down on this little park bench at the end of the teddington methodist church community
center area there's a bus going there number 33 to castle now never heard of that place
lonsdale row castle now
Assall now. Anyway, Eli Silverman, my co-host and friend. What? I know. I just said, I was literally just saying that. I said, I've never heard of the place Castle Now. Have you ever heard of that? Yeah, it's just up the road from Castle Past and then. Castle Future, yeah, got it. All right, sweet. No, no, no, no, nice. Do you like that? Castle Past, Castle Now, Castle then.
Anyway, Paul, you were very much on the more charity shop-rich side of the Broad Street, weren't you?
Really? How many did you have?
Yeah, there's four on this side, I think.
You've got a big, notice, there's a big BHF.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Any items?
Oh.
And I've done well here.
I've done well here.
Now, I'll tell you what, I'll be honest, I panicked.
Because when I first looked at the road, I thought, shit, there's like one charity shop on this side of the road.
I'll take me precious time in this one shop
and they got a few things
and then I walked up a little bit
it was like oh there's another
oh there's another
now two things happened to me
can I tell you these stories before I get on
one is I'm in the first place
and there's a little old lady sitting next to me
they're not sitting next to me standing next to me right
well she'd have to be to fart
because that's what's going to happen
that's what's going to happen oh my god
no for real for real seats
well she was standing there
elderly fart whisper looking at like socks
or whatever was hanging on the wall
in the first charity shop
and then I heard this kind of
like a kind of quack
like bra-blum-blum-blum-bob
and then
it smelled like a roast dinner
right
and then the woman
who ran came to the shop
who was on the shop
walked past when
tap me on the shoulder
and she went
take that outside dear
blit and blame it on me
no
why does this never happen
weird
and I said that wasn't me
it was the little
and she was gone
the old little lady by that point
shuffled on
He was gone.
Yeah.
Anyway, the second thing.
Okay.
I'm going to accept that because I believe you generally.
But the fart, the way you described it, sounds like one of yours.
No.
And it was a deep wet one, like muffled by a nappy kind of sound.
You know, like there's like seven inches of ten a ladies between the arseal and like it reaching my nose.
You know?
Oh, that's quite disgusting.
Second thing is, I'm in the B8, the British Heartfield.
foundation right and looking around and there's a guy mid 50s maybe quite well to do he picks up a
hoodie a jacket and I think it was like 15 quid right and the one behind the count was very old
and he just throws it on the counter and goes I'll have this for 10 love and she went oh no we don't
we can't change the prices and he went of course you can come on come on it's only worth 10 this
and I haven't got time to mess around so just give me just get here's a 10 her throws it down she's like no I've got to call
the manager. He goes, no, you know, no, you don't. And he put the phone
down as she was holding it. What? And that piece
of shit? Right. And then he started
getting Huffety. A fucking chauvinness.
And then I said, and this is where
Gannon's... No, this is where
Gannon's rage came up. And I was
like, mate, it's a charity shop. Whatever it is
you're buying, it's going to be much cheaper than
what it is. So just spend the 15 quid
and he was like, mate, obviously you
don't know about business, you don't know
about haggling, you don't know. Anyway, so
anyway, she just... Don't find him? No, no. Because I want to hear him.
So anyway, what happened was, he ended up
He ended up spending a tenor, right?
And he left.
And I went to the lady, here, I is a fiver.
And I gave her a fiver.
And I would just put it in your tin.
He literally insisted on only paying the tenor.
Yeah.
And then he wasn't taking it over from the...
No, and he basically put the tenor down,
and he was basically halfway out the shop with the jumper at that point.
He just took it?
Yeah, he basically...
That's theft.
Well, no.
That is theft.
He was doing this.
You're going to take it.
You're going to take it.
Wow.
So then I just walked up and went, here.
There's a fiver.
Well, that's good of you, Paul.
But fucking hell.
I know, I was so, like, you know me, sometimes I can't bottle that rage
and it comes out in an inappropriate moment, but I thought, you know what, no, I'm not doing.
That was very nice of you, very nice of you, but I don't, I hate to say it,
but it kind of reinforces something we've talked about as a sort of cliche on this show before,
which is the richer you are, the fucking meaner you are.
Oh, yeah, and the less generous.
That's actually a fact, yeah.
He did this test years ago where it was like a bowl of sweets.
And when they told poorer people, obviously I'm highly reducing this down to the basic points.
But poorer people who came in would take one or two sweets, right, and lead the rest.
Well, rich people would just take a handful without even thinking, and then come back for another handful.
But just the line that stands out to me, you obviously don't know about business.
God, it makes me want to puke.
This isn't business.
It's charity for one thing.
And you're not...
Wrists, what they call?
Necklaces for the wrist, what they called?
bracelets.
He had a bracelet on.
Neckles for the wrist.
You know what I'm getting on?
I got bracelets on.
Yeah.
So am I bastard.
Yeah, but his were like thick gold.
Yeah.
And like, yeah, the thick gold one round
and then he had like a fucking earpiece in.
I just, I just, the whole attitude, it stinks, man.
You know?
He followed me into the shop I waiting to next.
I thought I'm getting out of here before I kick off.
Whanker.
Anyway, so that was my...
Anyway, long story short, I got a few items.
I overspent in one shop thinking I had nothing else to investigate.
Oh, right.
But saying that,
You've spent your whole tenor, I've done really well considering.
I've only spent about half my tenor.
That's all right.
So far, I've got about three items, I think.
Only three.
I think I've got like five.
Have you let them know that there was a box of three quinces?
Are we not mentioned the quints?
I don't think we have.
Let's go back.
Go on, mention the quints.
Just emblematic of how posh it is around here down Teddington.
There was a box of quinces on someone's garden wall with a little notice.
Now, what's a quince?
For those of us who aren't in the lower...
Those of us in the lower classes to understand.
Okay, a quince is a type of pear.
And it's used to make quince jelly,
which is eaten with cheese, especially in Spain.
So Manchego goes with the quince jelly.
They often serve it with those manchego.
It's also known for doing autopsies on people in the 70s in L.A., isn't it?
Oh, quince.
Quincy.
I knew you're going to have to try something
but there it is
it's a good looking
smell it
can you have them raw
yeah they're pairs
I just didn't know for those cooked fruit things
I'd want to get it under a tat
before I took a bite
but maybe I'll taste that
in episode two
of this tat hunt everybody
now little information
Teddington is where we are
this is on the Thames
and one of the
Teddy on the Thames
one of the theories
about how the name came about
is that
this is the last point on the Thames
where it's tidal.
What does that mean?
Past this point it's not tidal anymore.
You know the Thames has high tide and low tide?
Yeah.
Because there's a lock here.
And that moderates the level of order.
It's the tide end. Taddington.
Tideendington.
It's a stretch, but I don't have the back.
ground to qualify that anyway.
But there are also other competing theories, such as Ted just,
The House of Ted.
Yeah, no, House of Teddy.
And also, there's a theory that says that there is a huge fan base for children's TV shows.
And so it started off as being Super Teddington.
Teddington, Super Teddington.
Do you want me to cut that last one out?
Because you're doing all right.
Let me just say a clean Super Teddington.
And they...
You know, I'm not going to edit.
it so it's clean. Can I just
prove to everyone I can say Super Teddington?
Super Teddington. Whereas I know
for a fact it's named after a character of Heidi
High. Ted Bovers played by Paul Shane.
So it used to be called... No, used to be called Heidi
Heiditon. Here's the thing. I haven't
mentioned, or we haven't mentioned really, why we're doing
two episodes in one go today, because you're not going to be available
next week, are you? You're working on something.
I am appearing in...
Stuart's film.
Turn back.
Now... A lot of people
be aware of because it was uh we used barshans which both of us appeared in yeah they used that
to help raise funds and i believe it although it is still a what is class as an ultra low budget
micro budget it's ultra low budget is the actual terminology uh feature it was the record-breaking
crowd funder for an independent british horror yeah so i'll be shooting that over the next two
weeks um now we can't tell you spoilers or what happens in it but i can't tell you spoilers or what happens in it but i can't
tell you that Eli is playing Tramp 3 in this particular story.
Is this some way of having a go at me or something?
Because I'm only good to play a tramp.
Tramps are good characters, man.
Good for character actors, you know?
It's like that one actor in America who always plays a vagrants.
Remember, he's the vagrant on the benching back to the future.
He's the vagrant in Vague, who ends up getting in with the aliens and things like that.
Go stalled it!
Whatever.
I'm loving the smell of this quince, actually.
It's got a lovely, fresh, fruity hair.
Smell it?
Yeah, no, it smells.
It smells. It's like appily, almost.
You know what it is?
I think, yes, it is apply.
Do you know what it is?
I think I'm coming out of a bout of COVID,
and it affected my...
Nasals.
It affected my sense of smell and taste.
Definitely did.
I felt like everything was duller.
Yeah.
You know?
It's horrible.
Horrible.
So, with all that being said,
I think it's time to swap sides
and I'm going to go down.
And we'll do the same thing again,
30, 40 minutes, right?
At the other end,
where we started yeah yeah okay and then I'm thinking maybe we jump on the
SL 7 and go to Heathrow that's what we're doing we're going to do it I mean we're
riffing we're riffing we should have some kind of break at a park well we mean this is
I might need to grab a bite after this yeah no I agree I think we should before we get
on a bus to Heathrow let's little investigate find something to eat la la la we can get on the
super loop man that is going to be super cool super cool and we're the cool kids taking you so
So I'll meet you...
Should we say 40 minutes from now, yeah?
Yeah, where are we now?
Let's have a look.
10 past?
It is quarter past.
So let's just say just around 10 to.
Okay.
Right.
So are you...
I tell you what, I did see a couple of things in there
that I thought, oh, Eli might like that.
Right.
But, you know...
Oh, there was a board game?
True or false?
There's loads of board games.
I saw loads of them in there.
And there's only one item.
that i wish i hadn't got but it was too expensive it was taskmaster i've got that you've got
i've got the taskmaster board game i'm saving that for another episode later on down the line
because it's one of those games where you can need to be at home to play because it says run to
your kitchen and grab a sausage and whatever it's one of those tasks yeah but it is one of those
episodes i'm thinking of doing for maybe a future uh tv show board game game show special
episode well that's why i mentioned it to you because i know you have a particular interest
Yeah. We should do a Richard Osmond special
where we just do all the most borderline, boring, middle-the-road,
safest fucking middle-class comedy that isn't here to offend
and there's just lovely, gentle, theft of other people's more original edgy thoughts.
God, I hate you in your fucking Thursday murder club, bollocks,
with your fucking cunt, fucking goggle-eye, big-eared, fucking ogreish cunt.
He's a massive person.
Literally.
And I mean, you know, I think he's single-handedly why the UK comedy scene in this country is fucking dogs bollets.
The UK comedy scene in this country?
Specifically in this country.
Oh, you mean England?
Yes.
Right.
Right, so I'll see you, Jimmy.
See you, Jimmy.
See you in about 40 minutes.
Here we go.
Right, off we go.
Right, well, I've just bumped into Eli coming out of the Teddington Hardware Pound store kind of thing, whatever it was.
That's right. I picked up some interesting non-charity shop items.
Well, that's a loud bus, huh?
That's a loud bus.
So, I'm all done.
Oh, it's quiet around here.
Yeah, there's only two charity shops on that side of the road.
You're right.
I thought there was more.
Yes.
But any interesting finds?
Yes.
Good.
I found some interesting things, I think.
I went into one place, and I slapped this item down.
And I went, I'll give you a five or four.
I have to speak to the manager.
I went, you don't fucking know.
I'm back in the way.
This is the way he's moving out.
You don't know about business, love.
You don't know about business, love.
And literally, the worst as well,
it's when he puts his hand on the receiver.
she's trying to call the manager.
That was awful.
That was fucking awful.
Anyway, what do you think
was your favourite charity shop today?
Oh, I like the shooting star
one because there was something in there that I found
which was like, oh yeah, that's weirdly
unique.
I like shooting stars as well.
I found something in there.
That had the sort of
the best curation, I think.
Oxfam always suffers
from having too much, you know, fair trade
chocolate and, you know, all of that stuff.
And frankly, just brand new stuff.
Yeah.
Although, did you notice
the Mike Bat album in there?
I did.
Yeah.
And did you notice...
It said Merton, right?
Because he must be from Merton,
which is sort of not that far from here.
It's down around here.
I was tempted to get it,
and then I saw the price and went,
excuse me how much.
It was like six quid,
$5.99.
And then there was another album I was going to get
called The Exotic Adventures of Eskimo Nell.
And it's kind of an infamous British
erotic comedy kind of thing.
But that album looked genuinely interesting,
but it was like 12 quill.
I think it was 10, 12 quid.
I've got a couple of things for myself.
So, well, I'll discuss those as well.
Yeah, that's fine.
In episode two.
Which we're heading into soon.
So, I'll just overall, I'll say, the funk isn't high here.
No.
But you get things that are good quality because of the, obviously, the wealth at reasonable prices.
And don't you?
It wasn't too expensive here.
I was expecting to have more of a turmoil in going, oh, do I get that, or do I get that?
what I mean and actually it turned out I got quite a lot bang for my book I did as well
that's all right yeah it really focuses the mind though having the ten are limit you
know yeah because you don't want to blow it all on one thing no do you so uh what are we do
now then oh we need another coffee mate we do need another coffee where should we go I'm
loath to say gales no because I haven't got 40 quid to spend on two booking macchiato's
Any more incidents?
No, although when I was in Oxfam,
there was a woman who wouldn't get out of my way,
but not in a way where it was just kind of awkward.
It was like, I'd be looking at a book,
and then she would stand right in front of me
to look at the exact same book,
and I'd say, excuse me,
and she'd go, oh!
And then move out of the way.
And then happened twice more.
And then there was one woman
who nearly caused an accent on the road
because one of the things that really grinds my gears
as a human being, Mr. Silverman,
is when there's a crossing, right?
A crossing with lights and a beaker,
not beaker, a beacon,
and it goes, beep, beep, and you know how to cross.
But this one woman,
less two metres away from it,
decided to go, I'm just going to cross the road here instead,
right in the front of a bus,
which slammed on its brakes,
which had to swerve a little bit,
to nearly hit a car going to the direction,
and she just went, oh, oh, what have I done?
And they just kept on walking.
People never learn.
anyhow
I just get angry about people
who cross the road
when there's a crossing
right there
and you can't walk
another metre to get it
you're that impatient
really
exceptional weather today
I know that's boring
for everyone
but it is nice
it's incredible
it's like
it must be in the early
20s
I mean
22
23
has you got that high
I don't know if it tells me
on my watch
no doesn't tell me
on my watch
but I'm sure
phones would
but I can't even
check that can I
because it tells me
in fucking
Fahrenheit or Celsius, whatever it is
that one I'm not meant to have.
Why did I just see an advert for a Netflix
show, Victoria Becken?
Who do I think I am?
Because they're still rinsing that.
You're nobody at all. You're just a Beverly
Hills housework. Do you know what I mean?
You were literally no one until
you did. I mean, like, out of all the
Spice Girls, I think she put the least
effort into being part of them.
Just the grift of celebrity in this
era is just... When you're not good at
doing anything, all your brand is.
is your name, and her name is built on 90s nostalgia
and being married to a much more successful and popular football player
who calls her out on her bullshit more than I expected.
Yeah, that was fun. Anyway, just for I mentioned that.
What are we going to do now? Have we done enough for this episode, do you think?
I don't know. These episodes end up being short, but there are two parts, so get with it.
I would just want it to say, I've had a really lovely time today here in Teddingham, Teddingham, Teddington.
Teddingham.
Teddingham.
I've had fun in teddy ham.
I'll have some teddy ham.
Gets a bit off the rump.
A little bit off the nose.
Teddy ham.
Bear hand.
We eat bears.
Snuff or gristle.
Fry a bit of nose.
I just wanted to say,
thank you for listening,
making this possible.
Yeah, but we don't know how long this episode is now.
I know, but I just wanted at this point in the episode,
wherever it is, say,
well, thank you so much to the listeners.
Yeah, to everyone.
For making this possible by listening,
and especially our Patreon.
Who also do a sterling job and giving us an
excuse every week to carry on living.
So, Patron.com, there it is. Come on.
Come on.
For you, maybe.
We'd be dead years ago.
No, I don't think.
I'd be dead years ago without chiefs.
I'm trying very hard not to die, okay?
You're not doing that good a job, considering your diet, your health regime, your
addiction to alcohol and drugs.
I'm not going to rise to it this week.
Your feverish gambling addiction.
I'm not going to rise to it this week.
Your need for cracker cocaine.
Crack of cocaine.
When in doubt, just go straight to accusing me of being a crack.
When in doubt, call him out.
There are some crackheads around here.
Oh, yeah, I've noticed.
Did you see the one on the bus?
The guy had what can only be described.
I'm not trying to be classist here as prison tattoos all over his face.
He had one on his...
Wasn't he?
They both got on the bus without paying.
They went, thanks, love, thanks, go, thanks.
I think quite rightly she was like,
I'm not going to deal with those two.
So just get on and then get the fuck off.
But he had a tattoo on his neck that says,
I'm too freaky.
right, except it was spelt wrong.
It was called I'm too frecky.
Perhaps he was a freckly man at some point.
I mean, that's all I can guess.
But either way, it didn't say freaky,
which is, I think, his intention.
There's TG Jones.
Oh, God, it sucks so badly.
It does, doesn't that?
You know when you talk about insuffication?
That is like one of the flag waivers for that.
It is a form of inshittification.
I think the term...
Where are we going, that?
Look at this.
This, uh, brute.
I just want to mention, for the fans of late modernist architecture.
It's very good round here for what I'd like to term
suburban vernacular brick brutalism.
Like that.
Look at this one in the corner.
The curtain, all the window.
Guardians in residence.
Oh, is it abandoned?
Well, yeah, I presume so.
They've got people living in there with security
and their cheap rent.
The brickwork.
And that little by church road, private,
that's a nice little area, isn't it?
Well, often I find with modernist churches,
like what that obviously is,
is the housing blocks that they build next to them
they've done it with churches for hundreds of years
where the rector lives or whatever
they often build them in the similar style
or complementary in some way
but these are more like houses you give to nurses by a hotel
hotel hospital
yes or an old person's home
that has that vibe
that's on church road
church road
why is it always churches have slimming world
meetings there
because everyone's a fucking godless atheist
these days, aren't they?
It's the only way you can get them into church
is to say, come on, fatty, come in here.
Maybe you'll not only lose weight,
but lose your atheism.
You know, why you're fat?
Because God hates you.
T.G. Jones, I'll go back for that.
That's not the same font, even.
It's an inshittified font.
Do you know what I mean?
It's got no, it's Sansaree for whatever.
Because there's no TG Jones.
There's no Terrace Gerald Jones in existence.
You know what I mean?
It's bullshit, and I hate it.
I hate it more than you.
I hated W.H. Smith, though, to be frank, as well.
Well, these days, yeah, but back in the day,
it used to be a great little place to get books and toys.
With the orange logo, yeah, when it was like that.
Oh, yeah, the orange cube logo.
Yeah, yeah.
It was like WR1 side, H on the other, and then S on the top.
It's in the shittification, although that term, like I was going to say,
was invented for specifically web platforms, you know, websites.
I think they use churches to swimming worlds
because when you get on the scale, someone goes,
Jesus Christ!
And then when you lose the weight, they go,
Jesus Christ you've lost Wade
Holy shit
Alright pastor
Ah
Fuck it
So what do you want to do
Should we get a bus
And head to Heathrow
That's what we're going to do right
Do you want to go to a park first
Well there's a bushy park up the road
There's a bushy park up the road
Yeah should we go to Bushy Park
We could go to Tesco
Get a Tesco meal deal
Jump on a bus a few stops
Go Bushy Park
And then finish this episode
Yeah unless you want to go to Heathrow
And end the episode there
I want to end it there.
Well, you know what the problem is?
We're not ending.
We've got on a whole other episode.
No, that's what I'm saying.
It's where the delineation between the two episodes are going to go.
We get some food, go to Bushy Park, end this episode.
Don't do the reveal.
Just eat a sandwich and on a bench.
But we have to come back here, though, to get the bus to, well, to get the super loop.
Let me just have a look if there's a nearer place.
This might not, this might be the last bus stop before.
It is.
Exactly.
No, there's one more, hat and cross, and then it's heat throw after that.
Then we'd have to get.
There's two, I think, two more stops.
Yeah.
Let me just see what this local area is saying.
Well, the nearest park is bushy if we carry on going up the road.
That's fucking huge.
Look at that.
Christ.
Is that bushy park?
Yeah.
That's Hampton Hill.
Yeah.
Look at that.
That's on a meander of the Thames.
That's what I heard.
That's what I heard as well.
That's the rumour.
Oh, look.
I've got a little fox logo on my...
That's nice, isn't it?
Is that how you see yourself as a little fox?
An urban fox.
Yeah.
Shagging in bushes out loud.
I wish I was shagging sometimes.
Don't take that out.
They do, isn't it?
They do it, around my way.
There was obviously that comic pop hit, wasn't there?
That's what the fox says or whatever.
Did you see that Flexi they had in one of the charity shops,
which was, we covered it before.
The oink came from the oink hal.
Oh, they had that?
Yeah.
But it was folded right across half of it.
Not worth it.
If it was in nice con, it was worth picking up.
No.
So I just don't know what to do now.
Let's go Tesco's and get a sandwich meal deal, right?
And they maybe get a bus to a bus.
And then just get on the bus and then do the next episode.
We don't have to go to the park, do we?
I don't know. We don't know.
I mean, what I'm saying is it's an incandescently beautiful, clear day.
Why don't we?
Yeah.
Like, I keep saying.
I don't know why you're finding this so difficult.
I'm not finding anything difficult.
All right, good.
All right, I just want to hear what you want to say now.
Get some food.
Nom, nom, nom.
Go to the park.
Yeah.
eat the food
finish this episode
then get on a bus and make our way
to Heathrow to the chapel
we'll reveal our bits and boob
booty yeah
and then we'll fuck off or something
is that okay
it sounds like a plan to me
here we go all right then
in that case that's what we're going to do
let's go to Tesco
oh I've got a message from there
film people
producer fired
it replaced you with a
a fox
dear Eli we've decided
you can't be in our film no more
because of your hong
because of your ghastly honk
no you're stanched
yeah
you're putting people off the film
it's a stench clause
I always do it
you've got a stench claws in
no matter how bad I smell
I'm turning up on set
and you're filming me
there's a lot of people
high up in showbiz
who stink
and no one can do anything about it
I'm looking at you Bill Oddy
Bill Oddy's got a smelly
body.
Bill Odie, smelly body.
Oh no, that's all fine.
There's a revised contract for me to sign, so.
You're not going to be unavailable for our live show.
I'm not.
So you can rest easy, Mr. Gannon.
I've rested easy.
You're the one having a hissy fit.
Oh no, I can't do nothing.
They're going to go in.
Calm down.
Let Gannon daddy take you by the hand and sort it out, which is what I did.
I'm not your handler.
Can you press?
I'm...
Are you going to, this is your, I was nearly going to slap you then for saying the rest of the button.
Well, we've got to sign off.
Right, see you in a bit.
Ow!
I did it on purpose because it's a kink.
It's a kink I've got.
Right, well, we have wandered into Bushy Park.
About a five, ten minute walk away from Broad Street, Twickenham.
and we just found the log to sit on
Eli's got something to say
Eli's got something to say
bushy park more like grassy park
yeah not a lot of bushes for a place
called bushy park it's quite open plan
for one of a better phrase
yeah
yeah
so we're going to wrap this episode up here I think
yeah
what did you get in your meal deal
I got a chicken Caesar sandwich
a lot
a chicken Caesar wrap sorry
a chicken Caesar wrap sorry

in the fridge there can you not in the fridge but you can get a hot latte there they have a cost
machine so you could. You can't get it on the meal deal though.
Yeah, you can. Oh, really? Yeah.
Well, certainly insane, but you can. I didn't check today
when I was in Tesco's, but yeah. Anyway,
what did you get? This is
the wrap up now, by the way. We're closing this
the part of the day off. And the next part,
next week is when we're heading off to Heatho to do the
evaluation of the thing we bought the way.
Frid graders,
real check and breast, southern chicken
styles. Just smell the empty bag.
Just for a contrast.
How am I appetising that smells compared to
the last one? I mean, it's still
smells fake oh that's much nicer it's nicer by comparison it's got it's got a spice sweetness umami on
the nose that smells like shit shame on you fridge raiders for passing that off only someone
with no sense you were like yeah desperate vegetarians god it's awful it tastes a pooh
it didn't just taste of nothing it tastes a pup can i can i show you something
And what drink did I get?
Oh, what did you get?
Oh, you haven't told you my main either.
Chicken, bacon, posh.
Chicken bacon, posh.
Yeah.
Oh, you did.
Chicken Caesar and bacon on sourdough.
I hate that bread.
I've had it before.
I do not like that bread.
It tastes weird.
Their particular chabata?
Oh, God.
It's like fluffy, crumbly muck bread.
Very technical.
Don't look in my bag.
Don't be looking in the bag.
I'm not because I'm also praying.
What did you get for your drink, Eli?
Pink lemonade, zero sugar, energy,
Lucasaid uplift uplift let's have a taste of this yeah have a taste of that I
try that yeah if that's all right with you oh because you know I like Lucasade
I like pink lemonade I like I wonder what it'll be like with zero sugar though
that's the question I have right he's having a slippy serp oh that's very good if
you asked me look it's it really has a the Aspartame is there if you're
looking but it's not yeah I'm gonna agree with you yes that is there it's in there
I'm not complaining, but it's softened by the kind of florally pink lemonadey part of it.
And it has a nice citrus...
It's all right.
Yeah, they're getting better, I'm telling you.
Sugar-free things are getting better, I'm telling you.
You've got to admit, it's getting better.
It's getting better all the time.
Can I show you something that I'm quite excited to open?
I have to admit.
Can I show you something I'm really excited to open?
That's why he admits to being a wife beater in that song, John Lennam.
I used to get mad with my woman.
I beat her
and kept her apart from the things
But now it's a song
So you could all calm down
I don't, you know what I mean?
No, he was an asshole
But yeah
I think he was an asshole
Until his dying day, frankly
It was a musical genius
Yeah, well you know
Genius is fine
You can get away of it
If you write some good songs
Apparently, if you can beat people up
Can I show you something?
Is this something you got
In the post?
No, I'm going to get it now
Because the next episode's the next episode
So this, I think I talked about this before
But a few years ago
There was a company
that did these limited edition Ghostbusters badges.
Fuck it all.
And there was one in particular I was trying to get hold of.
The black and bronze Ghostbusters logo.
It looked beautiful.
However, couldn't get it on eBay.
The guy who was selling it was selling it for like $90 or something.
And then there was a prick about it when I tried to ask more about it.
And he just blocked me.
So, fuck that guy.
Private eBay seller.
Why?
Because what did you ask?
About the condition?
What did you ask?
The condition?
And could he, because his description said the logo, but the pictures showed Ectdo 1.
and I was like, which one is it you're selling?
And he was weirdly vague and a prick about it.
Anyway, someone pointed me out to a Japanese auction site
where they had...
Slipery Slope.
No, no. Legitimate place.
No, they are often legit.
I'm not saying that.
It's a slippery slope because you get addicted to...
But a techmone.
He's always on them, you know what I mean?
How many watchwords have you got on Japanese auction sites?
I don't have any, because you can use Sendico, can't you,
to get bulk orders from there?
Like, people say it's a bad idea.
now that the West are getting into it
because it means that they're kind of stealing retro gadgets
from people in Japan who might...
I don't know, it's a whole thing about second-hand goods.
Anyway, that website, this Japanese website,
had this badge.
And I was like, can anyone help me understand
how to get this pin badge, please?
And someone on Blue Sky,
an amazing person in Glasgow called Simbad,
that's what they're...
I think it's that moniker.
You know what, let me double check.
What, Monica Sinbad?
Monica Sinbad, yeah, well done.
Ms. Monica Sinbad?
Yeah, that's their name, Miss Monica Simbad.
Let me...
Yeah, Simbad.
Don't say it five times, he'll appear here.
But it's because the real name is Domoagato,
Domorari Gato, which is like...
That's just saying hello, isn't it?
Yeah, that's what the name is on Blue Scars.
Anyway, they went out of their way to...
Because they had an account with a Japanese auctioning thing
to get it for me, get it sent over,
and post it to me.
Because they're a cheap show listener.
Yeah, so can I just say a huge, huge, huge thank you to you
from the bottom of my heart for this.
So let me see what if it's in here
because I've been waiting for this for a while.
Well, you haven't actually looked yet.
Right, this is the whole...
Leave a review.
Yeah, because that's what you get from the auction.
It's like an Etsy kind of thing, isn't it?
Right, here we go.
Oh no!
It's different badgers.
It's not those ones.
I don't know what these are.
Oh, the Ouija board pins.
Oh, oh, I thought they were the pins from...
Oh, you're not going to pay now, are you?
I mean, I am still going to pay, Simbad, thank you.
I mean...
Why did they pick these up?
No, this is something I ordered.
I just forgot I'd ordered it because it was months ago.
So you're still going to get the Ghost Bud to stay?
Yeah, it should come today, but I thought this was it.
You've got two of these?
Yeah, one's for a pseudo.
Oh, yeah, because they're into that kind of thing, aren't they?
These are quite nice.
These are...
Spoilers, pseudo, I've got you a pin badge.
Rectangular Ouija board pins that have...
Yeah.
That have...
They literally are...
working mini Ouija boards essentially because they've got a planchette on a in a groove that
goes back and forth with the alphabet and the numbers below so it's like a little mini
Ouija board pin a nice thing a nice thing I like it and that goes back and forth so
someone could you could do an impromptu uh like when you're out the disco or whatever I was very
excited I thought I was going to end this episode with me Ghostbusters badge and don't worry I mean
I'm fine with these I all of these I just forgot because it was so long ago that when I
heard that they were coming today I thought oh they're coming
You could have checked.
Could have, but I wanted the surprise.
Yeah, well, the badge is still coming.
I've got badge blue balls now.
You certainly do.
Now, what we do is, let's just wrap this up now.
Look, I'm wearing our new pin badge today.

Because we've still got an episode left, and I just want to chill for a bit.
Can we do that?
I'm not pushing this forward.
I do want to say goodbye.
Goodbye, everyone.
Thank you.
Bye.
Even though this wasn't the badge, I wanted.
Oh, boo-hoo.
It's a badge I needed.
You're badge rich.
Your badge privilege.
I still want to say thank you to Simbad for this.
You've got enough badges.
How about that?
I've got plenty badge.
I've plenty badged up.
Right.
Anyway, Simbad, thank you again.
Tom would say too much, bloody badges.
Please, other than that, other than that, we'll see you next week.
It does sound dodge, actually, when I say it out loud.
We'll see you all next week for part two of towns, where we'll evaluate our booty.
Teddington, Teddington to Ham.
Teddington to Heathrow.
That's what we're doing.
It's Teddington, isn't it?
Teddington.
Love it, love it around here.
I wish I could afford to live around there.
I wish I could afford to live slightly better than where I am right now in general.
I keep beeping, sorry.
He's beeped and beeping.
We're all beeping.
and we'll speak to you.
We'll see you all next week.
Take care.
Bye bye.
Oh, and thank you to Patreon.com.
For all your sport.
Thank you very much.
It's all very nice.
I've got to get this in before the music comes up.
Oh, the music's coming in.
It's getting louder.
Oh, quick.
It's coming in.
Oh, no.
Bye, everyone.
It's not going to happen, is it?
It's got a whiff of dog shit so bad from the dog shit bin.
I thought you'd fart it.
It had that fresh urgency.
You know what I mean?
I think that was just, you know, like just lane.
There must have been hot, steaming just lane eggs right below my nose in there.
Fresh out of the baker's oven.
You got famous overnight.
Oh, here we know, this isn't about me.
And no, I wouldn't.
Fucking John Bluchio over there.
He was dead at 31.
Yeah, well, you've done.
Right there.
Well, done you.
Well, how could I be anything like him then?
Yeah, he got famous, though.
If you got famous at 31.
Oh, maybe, Christ, there you go.
So, you know.
Oh, can we give it a minute
case big dog bite me?
I don't want to get caught between rotting dogs.
It looked like those X-L bullies.
Oh.
Oh.
We're getting fucking fuck to death by a dog.
Alright, here we go.
We're on the, was it two-five?
285.
285.
That's where we're going.
We're going to Heathrow Airport Central.
But this is a brand new episode of Dusk bussing.
Nice.
Where we go on a busk at dusk.
You can't fuck about with time.
Not like that.
Time has been the first.
theme, hasn't it today? Anyway. And shitting.
It's always shit.
Which is just spoiler warning.
That's how I'm capping off my day.
