CheapShow - Ep 467: The 7th Annual Office Christmas Party
Episode Date: December 19, 2025As 2025 prepares its end, Paul and Eli turn their attention to the big yuletide knees up… The Office Christmas Party! For their 7th boozy do, Paul wants to do something a little different, at least ...to start! They head out to a little village pub and get a few drinks in early, before attempting to get back to “La Maison Hantee Sur La Colline A Harrow” for the party proper. To make things a little more classy than usual, Gannon’s hired a (very expensive) Butler to serve the drinks and snacks. Although “Jarvis” seems lovely enough, Eli is horribly embarrassed by Paul’s bullying treatment of the poor old man! It’s the epic (near 3 hour!!) final episode of the year packed with dodgy booze, weird Xmas themed snacks, trivia stuffed Christmas Crackers, a few boxes full of amazing presents, rants, arguments, laughs and a healthy dose of scatological nonsense! Get cosy, turn on your Christmas Tree lights and join Paul & Eli for their mammoth Office Christmas Party 2025!! See you next year!

And...
Oh, mate, glad you got here. How you doing, mate?
I'm not going to be pretend with you that we haven't been walking together.
This is already, I want to say something, okay?
Okay?
How dare you fuck my intro.
The intro's meant to be Christmas music, Christmas music fades into this bit.
Oh, hello, mate, it's our Christmas point.
Instantly right out the gate.
Daddy shit the bed takes a big crap on Paul Gannon's heart.
Night's yeah daddy shit the bed
Cracked on my Christmas message
Go on what do you want to say? Oh I'm tired
My two fucking broke off
I feel like shit
It's cold, it's wet
This year's been fucking horrendous
And I just wanted to say to everyone
Thanks for listening to the podcast
Everybody and we're going to have
You know, a Christmas
I am desperate
I am, yeah
Projection much
Look at his face
Look at his face!
That was the face of a man
who knows he's been
caught out projecting.
Anyway, it's the office Christmas party, everybody.
Hey, you're like this.
Oh, hello, Paul.
You're standing there.
You're scaring people who are walking past us.
You're scaring them.
Right, can we calm down now?
Yeah, they do.
They're petrified because there's an angry screaming man.
There's an angry screaming man.
They're scared of your energy vibe, my friend.
Anyway, I just wanted to say
there's a club where people can,
get together and call, play rummy cub.
Have you ever played a game of rummy cup?
I don't even know what rummy cup is.
Romney Cobb is the classic tile game that blends, strategy, luck and quick thinking.
Oh, it's perfect for players of all ages.
Arrange numbered tiles into runs and groups would be the first to clear your rack.
So I guess it's a bit like...
Sounds like Gin Rummy.
Gin Rummy.
It must be where it comes from.
Anyway, to £2 each to join guest entry, or you can become a member.
And I think they've missed a trick by not calling it Rummy Club.
Oh, Gin Rummy.
Yeah. Romney Coole. You just got it.
Yeah. It's definitely a sort of
tile version, like a domino
version of the card game, Rummy.
Like a bit of that and a bit of Scrabble almost as well.
No Scrabble. There's nothing like Scrabble.
Yeah, you've got to get rid of them. I mean,
only in a very basic way. Paul's right.
Paul's right. No, shut up.
Anyway, look.
It's not like... Can I just make this clear? It's not like Scrabble at all, everyone.
It's exactly like Scrabble with numbers.
Just so you know.
No, it's not.
Anyway, look. Ho, ho, ho. Ho.
Merry Christmas.
It's our last episode.
of 2025 and I thought we'd start our Christmas party right with a little
tiny mini pub crawl and by mini tiny I mean one pub one pub is that a pub crawl or a
pub not haven't not learnt to crawl yet and just shit and I'm daddy shit the bed it's a club
pregnancy it's before it's been born club pregnancy yeah put up the club can I join that
club with your gut mate you look like you're pregnant anyway I'm anyway I didn't
attack you all I did was I
a little bit of vulnerability at the beginning, you projected on me and now I'm under attack.
Projection much? Could you be any more, Chandler? Do you want to do that?
No, you project.
Anyway, I've taken Eli to the lovely little village of pin her on the whibble.
And we're going for a drink in a lovely... Pin her on the pin, you idiots.
Pinner on the wibble.
Where's the wibble river?
Your mouth...
My mouth is the wibble.
Pinner on the wibble.
Pinner on the wibble.
we've gone straight to dick mode so notice we're gonna go and have a quick pint in a
lovely local village pub get the atmosphere going oh it's kind you know it is quite
christmasy around here at the top of the road I think it's a cemetery oh yes I think
it's a cemetery how apt why I mean we have visited the grave this year already
haven't when we went to fucking that nunned head or whatever it was yeah yeah
A riddle with death.
Maybe it's an omen that one of us will pop off next year.
I hope it's you.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
Thanks, good much.
Anyway, look, everything's been fucking shit this year.
I agree with you.
The news is continuously miserable to look at.
My two fell off.
My two fell off.
But fucking hell.
Local newspaper, a local fucking website, whatever it is.
Partner tells me about it.
Some fucking guy breaking into houses,
fucking drugging them and then robbing their houses while they're drugged.
here?
Round here.
And it's like fucking hell.
So...
Has you murdered any?
No, no, no, no. It's not like that.
I think it's just robbery.
Why haven't they caught them yet?
I don't know. It's only just happened.
There's only been a few cases the last few nights.
In what paper was it?
No, it was website.
Harrow, local online or whatever it is, I don't know.
Yeah.
But one of those website ones where you get all the pop-ups.
Yes.
Terrible local news sites.
All right, Jasper Carrie.
Don't want to do fuck anything more insightful observation or something.
I'm making it sound real, Paul.
Fuck.
Stop being loud in this lovely, quiet,
Christmas-y, Crimble village.
Paines Lane Cemetery
is.
Oh, that's a nice one, isn't it?
Yeah.
Nice little one.
Well, we're not going to go in there.
We're going up this way, mate,
because we're going to go to the little
village pub and have a Christmas drink.
Oh!
And after you've had a Christmas drink,
we're going back to my place
because Le Manscheon U Haunted
Koule an hill
Harrow on the hill.
Are you sorry?
Excuse me?
Mansion, phantom mansion.
Oh, Harrow.
A taro unclear.
Paul, hang on, Paul.
Do you want me to...
Is it ambulance time?
Is it called the ambulance time for you?
I'm not stroking out if that's what you're implying, no.
Anyway, I'm going back to my gaff and I've made it all posh.
How do you made it posh?
Christmas tree?
Christmas tree, lights, presents, drinks, snacks.
And also, to make it very special this year.
I've hired, right, online thing.
This guy, it's basically like a shet, a, what's the word?
A butler.
A butler for the night.
his name. Now, it's not his real name, but his name is Jarvis.
Sex business. No sex business.
Like, bumhole, like access, easy access to the oil.
Do you know, I actually was kind of getting...
Easy bumhole access. Easy bumhole.
This year, but he is dead.
Hey, do you know how he died?
Fucking probably in his car somewhere.
Well, it involved when they found...
Auto-erotic asphyxiation.
Yeah, but he was using everything in his car to get himself off.
They reckon they used...
He said he used bungee rope
and tied it to the clutch
and every time he revved the engine
it would choke him a little bit.
That's it.
And then he revved too much
and he stroked out
and put his foot down hard.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Anyway, sexy Santa's dead now.
Is this it?
No, this is just someone's house.
It's nice, big house.
It's like Kevin McAllister's
an home alone almost.
A little bit when you think about it.
I don't like, it's characterless.
Yeah, it is.
You know what I mean?
A little bit soulless.
I'm sure it's very lovely.
I'm sure it's got a nice big Christmas tree.
Should we rob it like over?
I don't ever be able to...
Let's rob it like Home Alone
and pray there's a kid inside
who's into booby traps.
That'd be good,
because we'd be good villains
in a Home Alone movie.
Why would we?
Because you'd be like the Joe Pesci one
and I'd be the Daniel Stern one.
And what else has Daniel Stern been in?
Oh, loads of things like Dinah.
Home Alone too.
And Home Alone too?
No, he has been in loads of stuff though.
Anyway, so yeah, we've got this butler.
It's Jarvis.
It's not his real name,
but you know, like it's a character.
So he's going to be Jarvis.
Jeeves? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Jeeves, you know, Mr. Winterbottom or whatever his name is.
But he's Jarvis, anyway. So he will be getting us drinks throughout the night. He'll be looking after us, preparing meals.
That sounds weird, man. Very posh, elderly gentleman. But he's serving us all tonight. So that's something to look forward to. He's getting my flat ready for us now.
What? How much you pay it? For our Christmas party, about 500 quid for an hour.
What? Five hundred quid an hour, yeah. That's not cheap show. This is coming out of my bank account, mate.
Why? Because we've had a shit. It's been.
a tough year and I wanted to
liven things up a little bit
oh look we're coming back into pinner now
pinner on the Wimble and there's a pub
just around the court at Wimble
I think when you hear me re-edit this
you'll hear it say Wimble
Oh God I'm sick of you and you'll re-edit
I have to have God-like control over this podcast
There's a bunch of Brewers Tudor
over there
Oh oh is that original Tudor
That even might be original Chudor
It looks doesn't it? It looks at that look doesn't it?
Oh, that's great.
Church Farm, Private Drive.
Yeah.
Great album.
I bet that does go back to Tudor.
Parts of it.
It's an old village, this area.
Obviously, we'd have a fat roof originally.
Yeah, fat roof.
There's all sorts of Mock Tudor or Brewers.
But that's probably real.
That's Mock.
Yeah, that's Mock.
That's real.
Two different Tudors.
Anyway, mate, the pub's just around the corner.
Can I get you a drink?
What would you like?
Half of Guinness.
and a
Whiskey
Famous grass
Single famous grass
Please or whatever they got
Well we'll go in and find out
Well ladies and gentlemen
Boys or Girls of All Ages
Once again
It's the Office Christmas Party
And you'll invite along
To listen in with us this year
And the year
2025
Now let's get Coase and get a drink
And we'll see you
After this bit of Christmas music
Seeing a bit everyone
I've said it
I said it
I didn't even mean to say
Because I had a good out then
You obviously did mean to say
because you said it.
You mean everything you say, don't you, Paul?
Don't you pull?
Runny club.
Cummy rub.
Runny rub.
Runny cub.
Yeah, I'd like to join the runny club.
All down your chest.
Cummy rub.
Anyway.
I thought runny club.
Runny cum club.
I've got a runny nub.
You want to get that scene to.
Welcome to the Christmas office party 2025.
Yay.
Great.
Well, here we are, outside the...
Where is it?
What's it called?
Queen's head.
Queen's head in Pinner on the Wimble.
I'll tell you what, I wish the Queen would give me head
before she died.
Oh, I wish I...
I mean, you could dig her up.
I wish someone would put your knob in.
Nick, Nick, no, she's cremated, wasn't she?
Fuck her ashes.
Oh, spunk on the Queen's ashes.
Splashes on her ashes.
I'm never going to return to America ever again.
No.
Check our feed and go, not loud, though, man.
So we bought a few little drinks and we're having a nice little chat.
Eli thought he saw snow, even though he saw snow,
even though he didn't.
It was snow, but very light.
It's a wintry...
Wintry.
Look at that.
They've got a Christmas tree jutting out over the...
Up the Jaffer.
Now, up the jaffer, yes.
There's a sign here that says
a half-pint history.
What does half-pite mean?
It's like a bottled history
or a truncated.
A truncated history.
Half-pite, say it's not the full-pite history.
It's the half-pint.
I thought it was alluding to the fact
that maybe this public...
called the half pint at one point but no it's the long story short and gone the queen's head
is pinner's oldest inn record show that has been an inn on this site since 1540 although there
is a theory in 1540 that there was an alehouse here a theory that there was a theory
on ale there was an alehouse here reiterating theory when king edwards potatoes the third
sign the royal charter to create pinner's annual fair in 1313
So they might even be older than that.
During the 16th and 17th centuries,
the inn was and is called the crown and was called the crown.
And only in 1750 was it renamed to the Queen's Head.
There's another sign over there.
I'm going to read that one because I haven't got my glasses.
Queen's Head.
It's another sign.
This is like one of those national heritage or something at once.
Harrow Heritage Trust, the Queen's Head,
Pillar's oldest inn.
16th century called the Crown.
17th century, yeah, renamed the Queen's Head, 18th century.
I like this Harrow Heritage Trust.
Yeah, it's nice.
I'm not getting back to our table
because people nick our stuff
You never know
mate I tell you there's been
robberies and stuff around there lately
and stuff it's not good
Yeah but that's all like
Jarvis has been messaging me
He says when are we coming back
Everything's ready
I don't want to be around
Some weird old guy Paul
We can we can bully him about
And treat them like you know
Like they do on Gosford Park
Or Downton Abbey or whatever
I'm not into that mate
You are let's boss someone about
I boss you about it feels good
Let Paul Gannon boss you about
£5 an hour
And then I can shout
Do this, do that
Yeah, but I'm paying that
Don't worry about it
Fucking, I don't know what
I don't understand
I really have to have to have two hours
And it's a grand
So that's not too bad, is it?
I nicked it from the money made
From the Stuart's film, didn't I?
Right
Does it?
Yeah
I said to Stuart
I need to borrow a bit of money
And Stuart went
All right, no questions, just take it
And I went, thank you, Stuart.
And then I used the money to buy Jarvis.
All right, then.
Anyway, we're in this lovely pub, and we're having a drink.
What drink did you get?
I had a single bullet bourbon.
It's a widely available commercial bourbon.
It's not the most outstanding of bourbons, but it goes down mighty easy.
Mighty, mighty easy.
Like, allegedly the Queen did.
The Duke of Pork, she used to call it.
husband. Oh yeah. Come over here, the Chook of pork.
And he would say, yes, your fadjusty.
Your vajistee.
Fad, no, fadgesty, because he was Greek.
I don't know why that makes a difference.
We've got a Christmas tree over there and the lights are up.
It's a, you know, Christmasy, isn't it?
Yeah. Christmas office party.
It's Christmasy. So I had a single bourbon, bullets and I've got,
I'm working my way through a nice,
half of Guinness.
Because I'm working my way back to you, girl.
With a burning love inside.
With a bourbon drink inside.
I'm spanking my way off.
Your chaffney.
On a chaffney ridge.
Cheese knobs.
Nice, no good stuff.
No, as I said earlier, very tired and I'm in a down, a down mood.
No, boo.
Oh, here goes my phone again.
I'm going to tell people what I drink,
because I'm interested to tell people.
I had a passion fruit martini cocktail from the tap in the pub.
Classy man.
And that's what I'm enjoying.
It was too sweet.
I'm just going to finish it off now.
Hmm.
Tre manifier.
Oh, that had a really bitter note right at the end, weirdly.
A really sour note, the last one.
It's probably because the citrus is separated out.
Yeah.
Right, let's have another drink then.
Drink, drink, drink.
Do you have one more here?
Do you want another one?
Sure.
Or do you want to go pick up the shop and do that?
Let's go do pick up.
Yes, do it.
I can't do the 10th anniversary drinking again, mate.
Don't make me.
Don't make me.
I did bad things.
I'm counting your drinks.
I did bad things that night.
Bad things.
He did.
I'm still apologising for bad things.
The point was you had alcohol poisoning and he weren't right for another week after that.
Almost a week of feeling like the worst I felt in most of my life.
That wasn't, you know, a genuine illness.
Yes.
It's what's known as alcohol poisoning.
and we are not going to go near that.
We're going to get tipsy, silly, drunk
and maybe a little bit flirty drunk
where Paul excels.
He'll be touching, you're knobbing at midnight or so.
You always say this.
I don't think there's any appetite for us
to actually get off in the listenership anymore.
They've gone past that.
It's just you that keeps holding a torch,
holding a torch for you.
I owe my torch, mate, for you.
Yes.
My flaming torch.
Your spunky torch.
No, but, and also the other thing
I'd like to say to you,
if you're incessant,
why don't we snog?
Why keep you saying I'm into incest?
You keep saying this.
My incessant knob.
That doesn't mean...
I saw you give up on that joke halfway through.
I am no PJ Proby, mate.
How dare you?
Now...
He put the probe and proby.
I know that for a fact.
I've seen that clip.
Yeah.
Actually, when you described it to me, I've seen it before.
Oh, no, I saw it on Millard, didn't I?
Actually, can I just say to all the listeners,
if you don't already follow the Fantastic Stuart Millard's video channel
Frantic Planet on YouTube, please do.
Is it called Frantic Planet?
His handle is online or whatever.
But anyway, I just want to say thank you to Stuart,
because he helped me out this weekend with a radio situation.
I asked to get some audio from him.
Milard?
Yeah, and he helped me out so I could use it on the radio show.
So thank you, Stuart, for helping me out over a sticky weekend.
Yeah.
I wanted the specific clip that he'd used in one of his videos,
but I didn't find the original source, and he found it for me.
So thank you, yes, but when are we going to get him on the show then?
If you were in contact with him, let's get him when he wants to.
I've said it's an open door.
It brings some choice clips in or something, you know?
Well, it's on his terms.
There's a lot of people we need to thank before we close this episode up,
so we'll spread it out.
There are a lot of people to thank him.
Spread what out?
Spread my muck out.
Spread my muck over your, top lip.
Spread my filth.
Spread a thin layer of fucking Gannon's manchavy cream
all over your top lip, and then you'll be like,
I've heard of Dairy Lee before,
but not Dairy Ely before.
It wouldn't be Gannon's Manchovey Crem, would it?
Silverman's tip paste or something.
No, good. Very good.
I thought you were going to have bum that.
Hey, bum this.
We should tell we went to a charity shop.
We got a few records.
Shall we go through those?
No, very quickly.
What do we get?
I got no jacket required.
Tell them about the new charity shop up here.
I've mentioned it in the podcast before.
Gratuity, is it called?
Something like that, yeah.
Graciousness.
Something like that.
Or gracious.
There must be a local...
It's not called gratuity.
I can't remember.
That's a tip.
Yeah, but it kind of is, isn't it?
Can you don't...
No, it's gratitude, it's called.
Oh no, it was gratitude, yeah, thank you.
So it's a charity shop and it's brand new open, but it's like it's one of our favourite types where it looks like you're crawling through someone's attic or storage.
It's pure thrift store junk shop.
It's got the junk shop aesthetic.
Yeah.
As opposed to on the other end of the spectrum, the funkless corporate Oxfams with their rose...
with their rows of... Shelter boutiques.
I've picked up some really nice things in there,
so I'm not going to diss them.
I've got those...
Did you see my Adidas?
My vintage Adidas I got the other day.
16 quid.
Good.
And that's raincoat?
Oh, yeah.
That's the same trespass,
the same brand as your lovely grey one.
That was also in a shelter boutique in Muswell Hill.
So if you do like, good quality clothing,
Shelter boutique are okay.
No, this is not a complaint about them.
And also they don't like that vibe.
No, I do.
But also, let me just say.
Can I just say?
It's not political podcast, everyone.
But can I just say?
I must interrupt you.
Basically, there's a funk spectrum when it comes to charity shops.
One end, you have the corporate Oxfams with their rows and rows of not even secondhand chocolate and mooming.
Moomin branded, overpriced crap.
And also, I know because my dad works in an Oxfam.
bookshop, that they have a policy that if the books are in any way aged,
even if they're pristine, but they're just a little bit yellow.
They sell them to other charities.
They won't have them on their shelves.
Because they don't have, unless they're an antique of some sort, you know.
And that's ridiculous.
Yes.
And then so the funk is...
Your dad should fight, resign.
They were going to go on strike, you know, the people who got paid by Oxman.
Anyway, what I'm saying is they've got that dry corporate nasty at one end of the spectrum.
And then you've got gratitude in Pinner at the very other end of the...
the funk spectrum. Nothing's priced in there.
Everything's higgledy biggledy.
They had a backroom full of crap
and I got, oh yeah, show them my
thing. I show them my thing.
I'll like calm down.
So I got a few records. I got a Christmas
album, which you might even hear in this week's
episode. I got Phil Collins no jacket
required. What are the hits
off that one? Studio for start. Is that off that
one? Yeah, yeah. That's his best.
Yeah. And then you got a
little record, didn't you? Callance him out of
space. It is called Clowns him out of space.
from outer space and it's from 1979. I've never heard of it, but both of us.
By Rocky Burnett or something? Rocky Burnett? Which sounds like a rock and roll guy,
sounds like a hillbilly guy. So it might be Rockabilly? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, late Rockabilly
because it's 79, but...
the edge of the night
Like
While in outer space
You scrub my heart across
the galaxy
And in my universe you place
One endless melody
And like a foolish kid.
And like a foolish kid,
Oh, from home your love kept leading me on
Leading me all
Oh
So I might as well
Admit to myself
Your love is gone
Do you think
This was the inspiration
For killer clowns from outer space
Which was...
And that was kind of an independent thing, wasn't it?
made by special effects guys.
The Chodo Brothers.
The Chodo Brothers, right.
But they, were, did they know about this?
Who knows?
Who knows?
I've never seen, when I've seen little docus on YouTube about that film,
they never mention this record.
No, but also, also, though, you got to remember that that film is specifically like,
like riffing on 50s B-movie tropes purposely, right?
So maybe that's what this does as well.
It's doing the same thing.
Yeah.
It's just a different source.
Because, you know, it's not the most, it's at some point, someone will come up with the idea
of aliens that look like,
clowns that come from out of space.
Would they?
Yeah.
I think so.
I think at some point in history.
Not aliens.
Why clowns?
They just happen to look like aliens.
That's a gimmick, isn't it?
Suggesting the idea that maybe clowns on Earth have taken inspiration from the alien overlords.
Food of the gods and all that ship.
I've never seen it before.
And it's got the EMI red and brown company sleeve and it has, looks unplayed.
Right.
And then...
What's next?
Well, no, let's just get...
I've got to have a record, did you?
Did you?
Oh, I got a honk?
Honky tonk one.
You got a honky tonk one.
I got Red Box.
Yes.
How does that song go, the Red Box song?
For America?
Yeah.
Huddly.
Hiddley, Hiddley, Ha, Hidalie.
It's Celtic rock.
Is it?
In America.
Coolerai, Lurai, Lurai, Lurai.
It says Lurallai, Urila, Y.
It's one of those Uralai, USA.
In America.
I've got, hey, Paul, let me just...
Your Ely.
Yeah, you're Eli.
I was going to say something about urine or urethra.
No, but you're Eli.
I know, Urily, Urila, Yoriliah, Yorila, Yorila, Yorila, Yorila.
It doesn't say that in there.
It does.
I'll play it to you later.
Alright.
So, but then this is what Eli got excited about,
because we saw a little toy box area full of toys and board games.
Vintage.
Yeah, so I'll let Eli play with it.
Hang on, what's this one?
Yeah, that's my other one.
Oh, that's the other one.
What was that?
That is Casey and the Sunshine Band.
Give it up.
With Sound Your Funky Horn.
funky horn, one of their very early ones from 79, and is funky.
Hey, do you know what I would listen to the other day?
George Clinton's computer games album.
Have you ever heard it?
No.
It's like, imagine it's music, but through a kind of Moogie, electronica synth.
Oh, you mean he didn't make it?
No, he did.
He made it?
Yeah, but all the music is like exactly what, oh, it's a big fucking coach.
Like 8 bit?
No, more like Moogie, synthy, electronica kind of thing.
And it's like, so it's kind of like his usual style, but just all the instruments.
electronic out. It's a gimmick for this album, but it's very good.
Is it recent? No, it's like 81, 82. Anyway, Elyke, talk about this. This is a
transformer's, uh, pencil case, two-sided pencil case in the classic vibe. Look at that.
It has a little window that you can see the, um, shavings. The pencil sharpener in it.
Because it has all these buttons in it. I don't know. It has all these buttons and
contraption. It pops out if you press this button here. Yeah. It's full of like the secret
And it still has it in.
Oh my God, it's so cool.
Look at that, you flip the lid.
There'll be pictures on our website and Instagram
if you want to see any of the things
we're taking pictures off for this week's episode.
Our final of the year, our office Christmas part,
and it's got a little eraser holder on the side tray
that comes out.
Listen to this action, everyone.
Nice.
Do the other buttons.
Oh, look at that.
That's where you put rubbers or something, maybe.
Fucking, there's so many compartments on this.
This is like...
It's a good pencil case.
And it's got that vinyl, soft, you know?
Padded thing.
It's padded, but this isn't actually as padded as, because feel it.
It's quite hard.
Oh, no, yeah, you're right.
This must be like a retro thing they're built.
This can't be like 50 years old.
Little calendar.
Well, no, because it uses the modern Transformers logos and stuff.
What the fuck's that?
It's a little calendar.
You roll it.
No, it's a calculator, isn't it?
No.
Like a maths calculator?
No.
Is it?
Anyway, Eli's very impressed.
But basically...
Look, you open here.
Here's a pen holder.
chunk chunk and there's a sticker there it goes up and it arches the penholder so
the pens are easy accessible so anyway I've got those albums in that pencil case
and I basically they gues to make the price and I paid five quid for all of this so
well done us this people would pay at least 10 for this online yeah oh so cool
well Eli's happy listen mate let's let's get let's go back because I think Jarvis I
think Jarvis wants us to come home I don't care what he wants you know
I don't think you should have wasted that money
and I don't think it was a good idea, all right?
Well, you'll feel the benefit
we don't have to get up and stand up. How are you going to justify that?
What a grand? We haven't spent a grand
on anything, on the whole 10-year
period of this fucking podcast. That's not true.
How much do you think the flights cost us to L.A. that time?
I mean, maybe when you put it like
that, yeah, we could have gone back to L.A. or something,
but... Instead of having some weird
old guy serving us drinks
in your house.
Anyway, don't knock it till you've had him.
Tried him. Had it. Don't knock it.
What? Is there a sex, Nick?
Not for you
Oh, I see
We've got to walk back
We've got to head back to ours
Let's not corrupt at all
Let's go back to ours now anyway
Because
You've paid some old man to Josh you off
Not for the first time
Oh is that a record shop over there
No, no
Let's go look in there
All right we're looking there
Listen we're heading back
And Jarvis will have the house
Ready for us for the party
So let's continue, shall we
Okay
Continue a
Oh, ho-ho
Oh
Oh
Come Landlord Phil
the flowing bowl until the death run over.
Come, landlord, fill the flowing bowl
until the dust run over.
For tonight we'll marry, marry me.
For tonight we'll marry, very be.
For tonight we'll marry, marry me.
Tomorrow we'll be sober.
The man who drinks just what he likes
and gets his pups, he's over.
He who drinks just what he likes and gets at pups, he's over.
We'll live until he die, perhaps, we'll live until he die perhaps, we'll live until he died perhaps.
And then lie down in clover, landlord fill the flowing bowl until the death run over.
Do you want to update them?
Hello, everyone.
We're updating you now.
We are standing by a bus stop in Pinner on the Wimbles.
It is.
Bus stop at sea.
T.J. Jones.
Oh my gosh.
Just...
TG Jones.
From nowhere.
From nowhere.
No reference to anything.
Just...
No logo.
It's just blue, white font.
I hate the font as well.
It's boring.
The font is defund.
Is it just meant to sort of remind you that it was Double H. Smith before?
Basically, I think that's it.
They couldn't keep the name because
W.H. Smith is still existing in the stations.
I don't, I don't know.
No, they're still going to have stores in some stations.
No, you're right, but I don't understand why they just didn't keep the name full stop.
Because it's a different company that now owns the TG Jones stores.
Yeah, but wouldn't you just for continuity sake and for brand high street sake?
You can't.
You can't have two separate fiscal entities.
No, but that's what I'm saying.
Why doesn't the company just buy the...
It's not uncommon for a company to buy something and then keep its name.
Yeah, but then what were the shops that in the stations call themselves?
Double H. Smith.
Everything still called D.
No, they're not different company, though.
No, they're not.
The company that owns Double H. Smith and T.G. Jones are the same.
Oh, are they're just keeping the double H Smith's ones for the ones at
at airports and train stations.
Because it's more...
Idiots.
For some nebulous reason.
Ho, ho, ho.
Do you know what I've got?
You know what I've got for?
This bus should be here by now.
He's walking around.
He's having a nice chat with his mum or something.
Whatever.
He works hard.
No, he doesn't.
He drives a bus.
I can do that.
I'll drive two buses.
Why don't you?
You make more money?
Why don't you do any job?
Because what's the point?
I've already got like three.
Thanks.
What's the point of serving?
What?
People.
Being part of the public consciousness and community.
No, just serving billion.
Helping a brother out.
What would I do?
What are you going to do?
Oh, is the Eli replacement, yeah.
No, no, no, I'll just rebrand it.
And it'll be rich show with Paul Gannon.
And every week I buy the most expensive things.
Yeah, Jarvis, maybe I'll keep him on.
He's going to be so lame.
Jarvis doesn't mess about.
Oh, he's very good at his job.
I bet his voice is so lame.
He read his CV and his voice said it was great, all right?
He said he had a great voice.
What, on his CV?
Yeah.
Well, of course.
I mean, on my CV, it says I've got a giant dick.
I mean, why did your CV say, I've got, that's why you don't get a job.
Because the first thing it says is Eli, age 50, giant dick.
And then like, between 1996 and now, this is a big blank head.
I'm getting head hunted.
I'm getting helmet hunted.
You're like, that's not head hunting.
Come on, fall.
Come on.
Do you mean by head hunting?
Do you mean your penis is so small
they have trouble finding it in your pants?
No, I mean it's so big.
Where is it?
Oh, it's been head hunted.
Helmet hunted.
Helmet hunted.
Oh, here comes the bus.
It's coming around now.
Finally deems to get off of his phone.
How rude.
Can you go further out from here?
No, this is as far as it goes, the 183.
The 183, but there's other buses that go further out from here.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the H-12 and whatnot.
So most of the ones on here are small loop routes.
yeah the 183 is a massive proper route though isn't it yeah all the way the gold is green
anyway look here we go we're getting on the bus to gold is green now that's is fun but we're
getting off it what else do we need ice ice that's it you haven't got any trays i don't i don't
even if let's buy a bag of ice at home to be fair have you got any snacks yes i've got loads of

Eve busing.
I have an ingestion.
Do you?
Yes.
Well, that's good news, isn't it?
Not good.
Who? For who?
For me?
Because it's funny.
Because I'm in pain?
Yeah.
That and that's...
This is the podcast you support, everyone.
Is it?
Not everyone supports us, some people just listen.
I guess that's supporting us.
Yeah.
I want your money.
Here we go.
In a library.
Pinner library.
Nice.
If you go by the tube, though, you go from Harrow on the Hill.
And the next one is North Harrow, but it's actually west of Harrow and the Hill.
Yeah, none of that makes sense.
You know what I mean?
I wouldn't even try and make sense of the geography of Pinner or Harrow or Paro.
Poor Hina.
Just to balance that out.
What else is on this album?
Oh, I've got nausea man, rising nausea.
Studio, only you know and I know. Do you know that one?
No, see, it's the only bloody tune on the whole album.
Long, long way to go.
Do you know what?
That one?
No.
I don't want to know.
Do you know that one?
No.
One more night?
Yes.
Yeah, everyone knows one more night.
Give me just one more night.
Oh no.
Don't lose my number.
That's another one he releases a single, isn't it?
Yes, but I can't recall the tune.
Who said I would, is the next track.
Ray of Lane.
Doesn't anybody stay together anymore?
God, you know what I saw that video breakdown of Phil Collins's album?
It's all about his divorce, yeah.
It's like, come on, Mike, you need to get over it.
Inside Out and then take me home.
No, no, no, no.
But this is like the big album,

I mean, that'd be cool, wouldn't it?
It actually just says scarf.
I'll go for a body warmer person.
He's on the back.
Oh, order for.
That's such a...
Oh, I tell you what, I know times are changing pricing stuff,
but like if I wanted to get it.
I wanted to get the body warmer, how much of that cost me?
The jacket is 25.
Well, there's no jacket required, so I'm not going to have that.
Thank you, mate.
That's a great gag.
Adrian Hopkins Merchandising.

Just talking shit.
You do.
You do talk shit.
Oh, those are those nice greenhouses.
Is that right?
Yeah.
It's in the dark.
Someone who listens to us
lives in one of those or nearby.
Hello there.
We're going past your house if you're listening.
Did they still listen?
I hope so.
Otherwise, you know, whatever.
Pina new cemetery.
Oh, there's another cemetery.
There's lots of graves around here.
Yeah.
A lot of old people.
Oh, that's good, isn't it?
So what do we need?
before we can go inside.
Ice.
Oh, that's it.
Fire station.
I think we might have a broken bag of it still.
If you're not too fussy.
I'm not that fussy.
We're not going to need that much.
We're not.
We might be all right, then.
All right.
And this is the red box, the circle, and the square album.
Which you're interested in.
Well, I like the Tron for America.
Do they have any other albums?
I think they have quite a few.
You see a lot of their stuff, I think.
Two.
Gold is green.
So here we are.
We're going through North Arrow.
Southfield Park.
Nice.
Is this North Fair, right?
Yeah.
Oh, that
drink's gone right to my head.
Yeah.
It's gone to my belly.
Oh, you got...
Well, you should know about the Guinness.
The Guinness is going to curdle you.
It's nice.
It is.
Guinness is lovely.
Well, don't worry.
Jarvis has got snacks.
Is he?
Yeah.
He's got crisps and snacks and bites.
We're all good.
Bites with things in.
Yeah.
He's got...
He's got crisps or something out of us.
Golders Green.
Station Road.
Fabs, chicken shot.
For everyone.
I'm surprised that tickled you as much.
That is tickled me.
Fabs.
Fire away.
That's where I get my pizzas from.
They are nice.
I like fire away.
Do I tell you I had Dominoes in the States last time?
No.
An absolute travesty.
Barely peaches.
It was just terrible. It's hard to describe. It's just tasteless cardboard.
It was horrible, not enough cheese, not enough tomato, the bread was, you know.
Sure you didn't go to Papa Johns? No.
Just Papa John's is that?
No, it was... Bland.
Yes, that's here though. It's very different.
No, they say it's bland over there.
What, Papa John's as well, yeah, dominos are inedible.
Two, Golders Green.
But at least Fireway are like decent pizzas.
They're nice, very nice.
Very cheesy.
Ooh.
Now I want pizza.
pizza.
It's really easy to get you on to wanting pizza.
Peter is my weakness.
It's like you could persuade me to do a lot of things for pizza.
But I won't do that.
Oh yeah.
A short time for a change of drivers to take place.
That's you.
You've brought this bad luck on us by projecting your fucking sense of futility onto my career.
No, because there's a bus stop over here and also your career is quite useless.
Point useless.
Two, gold as greed.
It only exists by the efforts of others.
And you know it.
Such a ticket.
Come on then.
That's not true.
You're not a proactive person.
This isn't, but that...
Whatever.
Here we go.
You know what?
Let's wrap this party up with your end of year evaluation.
I'm your boss.
No, no.
You can fuck off.
How do you think you're you end this year?
What on Cheap Show?
Yeah.
How did you perform?
I was to finally one.
That's not what I'll report, so.
No, but you're getting these reports, you idiot.
Yeah, I'm right.
them. I was also the cool one. No. I was the funny cool one. What do you think was the highlight of your year? What do you think was the highlight of your year then? What? In terms of cheap show? In terms of this year, what was your highlight gone? Just sort of every time I say something that's really funny. You see, I've got quite the contrary written down here. Written down? Why? You're obsessed with me? It just says a blathering gobshike here.
Can't fire me then. I can't fire you. You're an idiot. Because you've got a gold man cuff
contract.
Exactly, so yeah.
Anyway, judging by...
That bit went well, Paul.
No, wait.
No, no, no, it's been brilliant.
I haven't finished.
Oh, he hasn't finished everyone.
Here's the next bit.
Eli, where'd you see yourself in...
That's not what you ask me.
You don't ask me that if I'm in a job.
Where do you see yourself for two years?
I'm doing a job interview.
That's when they asked me that.
What are your ambitions for the next two years?
I'm not doing a job interview now.
I'm not doing a job interview.
So what you're saying you don't have any aspirations?
Keep being the fun.
Money work.
Let me just write this down.
No aspirations or ambition.
Okay, good.
Check that off.
What do you think was your weakest points this year?
What you need to try harder on next year?
I've got it written down, be funny and cohesive.
I would like you to be both of those things.
Cohesive?
You don't even know what that fucking word is.
That's actually coming from Mr. Blather, man.
I'd quite like you to shut up.
You got that this year.
Fuck it all.
Seeing you squirm on the end of it.
That was great.
Everyone loved it.
Yeah, because it was funny to hear you squirm.
They loved it because I got a chance to finish my points.
Mate, you know, this lie you tell yourself where you're constantly nipped away at and
only like restricted and censored.
And it's like so not true.
Are we in this interview thing that you made up anymore?
Yeah, this is still the job, if you end of year job interview.
Shut your dirty hole.
Who was I looking up and was still alive?
John Steinman.
Jim Steinman, yeah.
Well remembered.
Well, you know, that's what I've got on before me, Eli, bad memory.
It's got that written down here as well.
I hate this bus stop because it always stops the change driver.
Well, it's because it's by the bus depot over there.
Is this our driver coming across the right?
Yeah, no, no, it isn't.
Could be?
No, it's not.
They usually have a better jacket on that says London buses or something.
It looked like there was a rondelle on his sleeve.
No, you're wrong.
I know.
Goes with my form here, unobserved.
Oh, idiot.
Well, you know, combative and ignorant and doesn't take criticism well as what I've got written down here at all.
Constantly takes criticism up the jackhole.
Not quite, not quite.
This is where we started, is that right?
Is this the bus station up here?
I don't know what you're getting at.
We started our first night bus episode, night busing episode.
No, no, no.
No, no.
So you just hold on to the handrails when the bus is moving.
Here we go. They're going. Oh, there you go. That wasn't a too bad.
Yeah, I've been here longer, mate. It's been a nightmare.
Yeah.
Especially when it's like afternoon, bad traffic and a bus full of people and school kids.
And then they change the driver, yeah.
Yeah, it's like, don't worry, man.
And then you see them outside having a nice long chat and having a natter.
There's a bus garage in there. There's the super loops are in there.
Because all the buses that stop or start at Harrow end up going to sleep here overnight.
Oh, look at that. Harrow garage.
And they have their belly washed.
No, it was Harrow and Wilston Bus Garage that we got the N-18 fund.
Yeah.
Rutland, Drew.
Excuse me.
Stop being a grouchy, horrible troll.
Grouchy troll.
Grouchy troll.
Jobb, this has just text me.
He says, what's our ETA?
I've said about 10 minutes.
He says, he'll have a drink ready for us.
Why is he asking, he should just be ready anyway?
That's what I'm saying.
He wants to be prepared.
It doesn't seem like he's interested serving us.
He's probably in the garden having a fag or having a smoke.
He's not allowed to do that.
He's reading the 500 quid an hour.
He's reading the racing pokes than having a fervent.
bag in the garden, making a bet on tomorrow's race.
You don't approve of that?
I don't deal with him at his private life, but when he's on the clock...
How do we know so much about it?
Well, I had to give him a pre-interview, uh...
A pre-interview?
A pre-interview? A pre-interview discussion.
Uh, pre-intern, when's the interview then?
Hasn't happened yet?
No, all right, so why...
That happened afterwards.
You mean a debrief?
Yeah, a post-mortem.
Oxford Road.
I feel like crap.
Boo-hoo.
This is your motif.
Boo-hoo, isn't it?
No.
Boo-hoo.
It's such a...
So.
Isn't that the logo you used to have a tiger?
Yes.
The S-O-Tiger.
That's right.
Don't she that anymore, do you?
No.
It got confused with...
Frosties.
And the people aside putting petrol on their frosties.
It happens all the time.
Eh?
Yeah.
It's flammable.
Flammable.
You're rude.
We're not getting off here.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
Yes, because the next stop is Harrow Bus Station.
Is it really?
Yes.
Mate, I've lived here for a long time, I know.
If you want to stay on, because, you know, on observant, combative.
Anything else?
I've done it.
Don't worry.
I do worry.
You didn't do it because I rang it in the first place.
I was testing you.
Exactly.
You forgot.
Forgetful.
You're forgetful.
Unobservant.
You're unobstervant.
And you're a prude.
Unpleasant owner.
And you're a prude.
Just because I won't snog you.
It doesn't make me a prude.
It makes me
very much like everyone else on the planet,
but from one other.
Oh, here we go.
No one could possibly love Paul.
I'm not saying that.
You're such a sociopath.
You are, though, aren't you?
I'm not.
I just can't be honest with people like you.
Oh, it's a shopping trolley.
Oh, the remnants of
lazy person let's cross here mate oh look at all these cars right okay good we're
at the park we're going through this is a nice little short cut oh they looks like
someone in a car there yeah there's a car park at the other side of the car that's why
at the park car park at the side of the park in it the car park in the car park I'm
not going across the mud though no let's not go across the mud I'm not doing that
again. No, that's getting a flashback. What are they doing? Dogging or something? No, it's just
like they're closing the gates soon or something. So, I like this park at night. It could do with one
or two lights, but apparently they don't put them in because of the houses around it don't like
the light pollution. I mean, it could be a good route for pedestrians this time of year if they
put the lights in. Yeah. You know what I mean? And then they could turn them off later in the
evening, couldn't they? Oh, someone's put their fireplace on this nice burnt wood kind of thing.
Nice. I love that smell. That's Christmas to me.
fireplace crickling and crackling.
But do you know what I mean?
They could have the lights on just from like, you know,
from when it gets dark to, let's say,
10 or something.
And then it's like, do you see what I mean?
Just design the lamp so they cast light down and not out.
I mean, there's so much light around here anyways.
I mean, I've been through.
I've been much darker and it is a bit unnerving to be fair.
Because it's overcast, there's a lot of reflected light
coming back down from the sky tonight.
Yeah, but there's also a lot of dark corners of this part.
Yeah.
You know?
No, if you were by yourself,
Or if you're a lady, you wouldn't, I wouldn't use this as a shortcut.
No.
I wouldn't at all.
No.
I wouldn't even do it if I was by myself as a man.
Fair enough.
Around this way.
I just hope the park, no, the park is still, their gates are still open near me.
We'll be going to be fine.
Uh-oh, there's green lights, what are they?
Are they dogs on these?
Youth son.
No, I think they're dog leashes.
They are.
I don't know, it looks like, is it like UFO dogs?
Is it?
It's really on the other than drones?
Are they drones?
No, they're Christmas colour.
No, they're dogs.
They're dogs, would you?
They're a dog.
Don't know.
Unless they're robots.
Bleep bloop.
They were tiny dogs.
They were teeny tiny ones.
With a massive green, red.
Christmas colours.
Well, they almost sort of like glow sticks almost.
Yeah.
Had a glow stick vibe.
But with Christmas colours, you're right, red and green.
Sometimes, well white.
Nice, you don't get, you don't lose sight of your dog then,
do you if it runs off?
Because that kind of dog, you'd lose easy.
A tiny little dog is,
tiny dog didn't even bark or make any noise?
No, good boy.
Very well behaved.
Good boy.
Good boys.
Good boy.
Oh, I need a wee wee.
Well, luckily we're not too far away now.
That Guinness has gone.
Pachonk.
Plang!
Well, we're not too far away now.
Pispis, spis, spiscy, spis.
Like that, Paul.
It went like that.
Pichonk.
Palang!
Pisissy, spiscy, that's how it goes.
Just going to look at your year review.
Shatown.
Nonsense words in lieu of actual words.
Oh, I can't ever do that anymore.
You just get words wrong.
It's all you do.
It's all you do.
And the fact that you have a filter in your brain of that,
it's like, do you think when you say, a kutoff,
I don't ever say a kachoffity.
No, you never say that.
That's your, that's your, that's a Paul Gannon formulation.
The whole choffity, hoffity, boffity,
I'm sorry, did you not come up with Pricka Printer?
Okay, what was that?
Or did you not come up with Cholffattie Baroff?
Both of those?
Yeah, so all I'm saying.
But not choffered or hoffered?
That wasn't an example of something you've actually said.
It was an example of your idiom, your garbage idiom.
Garbage idiom.
In fact, I'm more prone for this.
Oh!
Oh, Eli.
You went too far.
Oh.
You went way too far there, my friend.
I think I had a bit of beef and gravy.
I think there's a bit of early Christmas dinner there.
They pour some gravy on those potatoes.
Oh, that's a proper abessie that one.
I can't believe.
Every week you fart now.
now it's just a Christmas one what did you do anyway how did you get the
mics that's in the mics the mine clothes pick it up hopefully oh yeah we are we're
nearly at the uh un mansion phantom et harrow et cuilleere coolie coolie
haunted our house on the hill we thought our house was haunted the other day because
the Christmas lights kept turning
themselves on even though they weren't plugged in.
It turns out I put a set on with batteries and there was a battery pack that was turning itself
on and off randomly.
It's always an explanation.
There was an explanation.
I thought it was going to be visited by like three ghosts, you know, the ghost of Christmas
cheap, the ghost of Christmas expensive and the ghost of Christmas horny or something.
And then I'd wake up on Christmas day and be better human.
It's never going to happen.
I'm a horrible cunt who's going to die alone.
I don't think you'll die alone.
Merry Christmas.
No, I'm not going to die alone because I'll be driving the bus when it goes off the cliff.
That's great.
Full of kids.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
A little Christy tree there, right, boss.
That's nice, actually, yeah.
All right.
I'm going to message Jarvis and say we're coming in.
All right.
I'm weird.
I feel awkward about going to like Jarvis.
He's very polite.
Very, you know, like, you know, Downton Abbeyus.
You're going to love him.
I hate all of that.
But he's not going to be hovering.
He's going to be sitting away until we call for them,
so we're going to be fine, all right?
Let's just go him.
Here we go.
They get the party started proper now, mate.
Here we go.
Here we are, Eli.
Look at this.
Back inside.
Isn't it lovely?
Yeah.
Isn't it lovely?
In the maze on do...
You know what?
I actually did the translation of this.
I'm going to find out...
I've got House of Horror on the Harrow Hill.
I've got...
I've got a screen grab.
Maison de Terre.
It is the La Maison Hauntee so La Colleen A Harrow.
Welcome to the La Maison Hautee so Le Colleen A Harrow.
Oh, God.
Yeah, it's good.
It's there.
We've got all the Christmas tree.
I've got lights, presents, neath the tree.
It's look, it's nice.
Nice and Christmasy, actually, in here, Paul.
Unfortunately,
Unfortunately, since our last.
recording. What? I've had headaches come on. Oh, pussy boy. Grouch, are you going to say boo-hoo, boo-hoo again?
Boo-hoo? You've got no empathy and it's a real problem. You know, it is a real problem.
You, to the, my energy. This is my Christmas party. Well, I spent a lot of money on, well, not a lot of money,
well, I spent a lot of money on Jarvis. Hey, that's a good point. I can't believe that. I don't.
Hang on. Oh, Jarvis!
Javis! Javis! Come in.
Hello, sir.
Hello, Jarvis.
Hello there.
Thank you for preparing the room for us, Jarvis.
It was very good of you.
Yeah, it looks really nice.
Oh, you Mr. Silverman, sir.
Yeah, that's right, hi. Nice to meet you.
Pleasure to meet you, sir.
Oh, don't touch him, Eli.
He's probably got manned because he's poor or something.
What are you talking about?
What a dick?
He's a person, Paul.
I'm very clean, sir.
Paul, you don't have to...
What?
Just because you've paid money,
he doesn't mean you can treat them like,
In Jarvis, get us two old-fashioned stat.
You know how to make them, don't you?
You fucking old, come prick.
Paul, that's not funny, man.
Right away, sir.
Uh, what are you using?
You're using Jack Daniels?
That's what you supplied me with, sir.
Yeah, well, you go make it now, you old bastard.
Here, off you go.
Piss off.
See, he goes and makes it.
He goes and makes us a drink.
I'm mortified.
That's really embarrassing.
It's not.
It's what we're meant to do.
No, that's not.
It's what he's been paid for, 500 pound an hour.
Yeah, but that doesn't give you the right to treat someone like, disrespectfully.
It fucking does.
Is that how you think world works?
Yeah, based on what I see.
This is it. You think you're, you want to, you have aspirations to be rich.
Not because you want to be rich because you want the money and the freedom that affords you.
It's because you want to be a cunt to people.
I want to be a cunt to people.
I have not.
I'm not going to pay any part in this.
I'm going through it.
Jarvis. Poor man.
Don't do that. He loves it.
I'm fucking so embarrassing.
It's not. It's the, getting the party going.
You know what? You ruin everything.
Do I?
You touch. You're King Midas in reverse.
Yeah? Like your career? Is that my fault?
You're such a cunt.
Like, even on the character level, on the personal level, on every level.
As soon as these mics turn on.
It's all bleeding in today.
It cussie, crissy, cussie. Cunty, cunt to that man.
Give me some fucking food.
Hey, Merry Christmas.
Not my career.
Fuck you.
It's fine.
Everyone has their struggles.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Mr. Top of top radio presenter.
I'm not a presenter.
I didn't say I presented.
Whatever.
Producer.
Producer, thank you very much.
Yeah.
What do you do?
You're a record player at a nightclub.
I don't know why you keep attacking that.
You called me the anti-midas man.
And I say, without me, without me,
you wouldn't be an award-winning podcast with an album featuring in a movie with
with a guy you wouldn't have met without me introducing you to him.
So I think you have a lot to thank me for.
Javis!
Javis!
Oh, don't.
Please don't.
Yes, sir.
Where are the drinks, eh?
Where are the drinks?
He's got them.
He's got them. Shut up.
Right here, sir.
Oh, God.
Thank you, Jarvis.
Please can be fucking eat something so it's not just attacking my character and work ethic.
Consulate.
Jarvis.
Don't.
Make me another.
It's fine.
Go on.
Right away, sir.
That tastes fine.
Mine is fine.
Mine is very good.
Thank you very much, sir.
It's fine, Jarvis.
Right, okay, piss off again now.
Bring me another drink.
We've got snacks coming in a minute.
We've got snacks.
So bring some of the snacks in.
Anyway, I want to read something out to you, mate,
before we go any further.
Oh, God.
I've got this email today.
I need to read it to you.
Top best.
If you were a reason to believe that AI is shit,
oh boy, howdy.
I've got something for you.
Fucking, I.

No, he hasn't said that.
I'm saying that.
Oh.
He hasn't said anything that.
Oh, my God, you're very quick to judge, aren't you, Mr. Silverman?
You call me nasty.
Why are you editing his fucking email on the fly, you can't?
I was an email.
Just read it out normally.
Because I said, oh, boy, howdy, it's a good email.
That was the sentence.
All you heard was blah, blah, blah, poor bullshit, boy, howdy.
Now I react.
Kesekesee?
I actually think I might have to vomit.
I might have to vomit.
No, you're not going to vomit in my lovely house.
I think I've got the flu coming on today.
I think I've got the flu coming on today.
I think I've got the flu.
coming on as well.
Yeah.
I feel poorly,
Dickie Woo.
Nicky Boo.
I'm gonna have two weeks off.
When we were sick as dogs.
When I was perfectly healthy
and then on Christmas Eve you came over.
No, but it was a fair few years in,
early days.
And you came over and
you mean the opposite of a fair few years in.
Only a few years in.
Only a fair few years in.
Not a fair few means a long few.
Doesn't?
Yes, it is.
A fair few.
No, it doesn't.
It doesn't mean that.
As in an agreeable amount.
You're wrong.
A fair few.
No, as in.
yes, a substantial amount.
But you were trying to say the opposite.
In my purview, the curfew, I forgot the word.
You were trying to say it hasn't been long before we'd met,
which we don't use fair few years for that expression.
Fair few curfew.
Everyone knows what I'm fucking talking about.
Everyone knows.
He was wrong again.
A Merry Christmas, Swiss a party.
You just sprinkle your nonsense speak with all these little bits of language
that just have no, they're untethered for meaning.
I've said this all before.
Yeah.
Read the fucking email.
So, John sent this.
I asked AI for information about Jeep show.
Oh God, here we go.
You can't send me this.
I will if you want.
Oh my God, I can't believe you didn't send it to me.
No, I did.
You're right because I just remember where we're going with this.
Fuck me.
It's all right.
I just forgot that this is where the email was going.
Take a breath.
Nah.
I'm all in.
I'm trying to get the energy up after E.
Eli's emails.
E-Mai emails.
Listen, I've got energy.
I just have some pacing.
It doesn't always...
Oh, I'm not going to...
I'm not going to criticise you anymore.
Really?
Merry Christmas!
What a great gift!
That's the best gift you've ever given me!
What did you send it on?
Email.
I think I just forwarded you the email to
Eli.com or something.
I didn't get that, I don't think.
I did send it.
I've forward you it again.
You got it?
Yeah.
Right, so let me read the first bit.
So he asked AI for information about Cheap Show,
and it told me that,
Cheap Show is a Pan-Atlantic show
where Eli is...
the quote-unquote American contingent.
Well, you can see why it got that idea.
It also claims that the podcast was originally hosted by Paul McCaffrey
until Gannon took over.
Oh, see, it's fine.
It's weird how it weaves these things.
Because I did produce Paul McCaffrey's radio show when he worked on Sam FM.
When we first were starting the pod.
But the weird thing is, I don't know if that's ever been like fully mentioned
within the world of Cheap Show itself.
It must, we've definitely mentioned Paul McCaffrey on the show.
Mate. I'm not saying we haven't.
He's still going. Oh, yeah, he's still going.
But what I'm saying is, it's surprising that they took that one slither of a tiny fact that I don't even think was mentioned properly in the podcast and then found it.
They're hallucinating, yes, but they're taking like slim connections.
There must be some statistical connection between your record and the McCaffrey because you were listed with him somewhere.
Do you know what I mean?
Yeah.
But now they think, because it's Paul, maybe they think he's the host of Chief Show.
Do you see what I mean?
It's very strange.
Yeah.
Anyway, so now he goes
I asked it to write an example
of a cheap show episode
and then this is where it comes in
so I'll be playing the role of Paul Gannon
And I'll be playing Eli Silverman
Hello everyone
Right, here we go
I just have to say that
Straight after I said it
I want to die you have to say
Why do you have to do that
Touch my Willie or shut your mouth
It's time to play the party game
I just right there's the script
It begins with me
So I'm going to say the first sentence
Here we go
Right, Eli, welcome back to Price of Shite.
I've got a proper gem here from a charity shop bin.
It's a ceramic figurine of a clown holding a balloon that's shaped like a massive cock.
What? Let me see that.
Oh, for fuck's sake, Paul. That's not a balloon.
That's clearly a vainy knob.
Who buys this shite?
Some lonely nan thinking it's art.
Don't knock it till you've priced it.
You go first.
What's this masterpiece worth?
I'd pay nothing.
I'd pay them to take it away.
But knowing these bins, it'll probably $2.99 with a cracked base.
Probably.
Probably.
Wrong.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Let's keep to the script.
Wrong.
You keep to, you got made a mistake that I didn't bring up.
Wrong.
You want to have a dressing down at me?
Do you want to give...
You said you wouldn't criticize me no more.
Fuck sake, so annoying.
Right, back to the script.
Wrong.
Let's go from the top.
I think we should go from the top.
No.
we should.
We've marooned it now.
Marooned it, have marooned it, have I?
You marooned five.
I kind of have maroon fived it.
I've turned it to shit.
You have, yeah.
Oh, yeah, mate, I completely marooned five that.
Oh, mate, don't go in there.
I just move room five in the bathroom.
They suck, don't they?
They fucking suck.
Right, right.
Start from the top, please.
Here we go.
And scene.
AI cheap show.
Right, Eli, welcome back to the price of shite.
I've got a proper gem here from the charity shop bin.
It's a ceramic figurine of a clown
holding a balloon that's shaped like a massive cock.
What? Let me see that.
Oh, for fuck's sake, Paul.
That's not a balloon.
That's clearly a vainy knob.
Who buys this shite?
Some lonely nan think it's art.
Don't knock it to you.
Priced it.
You go first.
What's this masterpiece worth?
I know.
Take it from a job.
I'd pay nothing.
I'd pay them to take it away.
But knowing these bins, it's probably $2.99 with a cracked base.
Wrong.
It's £4.50?
You lose a point, you hairy little goblin.
$4.50?
Who the fuck is paying that for a porcelet?
Shut up.
I didn't say that.
Yeah, we were both thinking it, though, weren't we?
Lots of fun.
Lots of Christmas fun.
No, that's not going to disrail me.
Sorry.
Disrail me.
Disraeli.
The old brand minister.
Oh my God.
Right.
I'll try that line again.
From the job.
Shut up.
Wow.
Got derailed there.
Right.
What was the line?
I'll give you the feed line.
Wrong.
It's £4.50.
You lose a point.
You're hairy little goblin.
4 pound 50?
Who the fuck is paying that for a porcelain prick?
You're having a laugh.
This is why the podcast going down the toilet.
Your shite tents.
Items.
to make this bigger.
That's what she said.
No, that's the office.
That's not our joke to make, Paul.
I'm doing it.
It's appropriate.
Right, where am I?
Oi, watch it.
Next one, a half-eaten packet of own brand crisps from 2012.
Flavor, cheese and regret.
This is, we should get this to right.
No, don't give it.
No, we're fighting the system.
That's not even sealed.
Smells like your mum's knicker drawer.
Charming.
Guess the price, you twat.
50p.
That's overpriced.
Spot on 50p, and now that you've tied,
I hate, and I hate tying with you,
makes me feel dirty.
You are dirty, Paul.
You live off this trash.
I hate you and your fucking noodle posse.
Noodle time, you later, you Bell-end.
One more item to break the tie, the end.
Oh boy, howdy.
And that was our ice cream.
Why I'd take you for your noodle posse?
I know, yeah, right?
That's completely wrong.
It's funny how...
You've never said that.
I've never said that.
No, I've never said that.
I know, I've, no, I know, I've, no, you have said that.
I've never said, fuck you and your noodle posse.
It's in the titles to a fucking credit every week.
No, Paul, you say it in the titles, because I'm the noodle guy.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Fuck, I got it now.
I got it now.
Jarvis!
That's exactly what I mean.
Jarvis, come in.
You gave things the wrong, but you just disagree before you actually, you just have to
disagree with everything I say.
You tell Eli to calm down.
He's getting very aggressive.
Sir.
We'll have to shut this shit up.
I need to remind you to calm yourself somewhat.
Your voice has fucking changed a lot.
Saw.
Yeah, there you go.
Better, sir.
What?
Now, you can go now, Jarvis.
You can bring the snacks in.
You got some snacks.
Hey, mate, we have some snacks.
You get the Christmas going.
You were adamant then,
that I was the one who said,
fuck you and your noodle posse.
After 10 years.
I've had two drinks.
You were so adamant.
And this is, I'm already in Wobble Town.
I mean, I'm in Wobblebound.
You were looking at me in the eye.
I was on the way to Amisham again.
It's funny.
The train today was the Amisham line.
Maybe it is on the Amishamon line.
What if it's dementia, hey?
I don't think it is.
Anyway, who'd fucking notice the difference?
Anyway, should we get some snacks in?
Sure.
All right, let's get some snacks in Jarvis.
Is Jarvis still in here, isn't he?
Your snacks are.
Now, why don't you fuck off back to the hallway for a little bit?
It's actually...
It's really upsetting me
you being rude to Jarvis, okay?
Thank you, sir.
Please don't, can you please stop being rude to Jarvis?
I'll be, all right, I'll stop being rude to...
That's not what rich people do.
Purvy Jarvis.
It's because of the systems they operate.
That's not, I can talk to...
No, you can't.
You can't do that.
You can't do that I want.
That's not, you've got this with...
Everything I've heard of the news
about millionaires and billionaires,
I can do what I want, hey?
I can't believe you're wasting our money on that.
It's my money.
I can go get the snack to you.
I'll go get some fucking snacks for you.
I'm wasting my money on this.
Not cheap shows money.
This is my money.
It's not the best old-fashioned either.
No, it's not, is it?
But he's got the shakes.
It tastes weird.
He's got the shakes.
That's why it must be off for him.
Why has he got the shakes?
Because he's old.
He's like 86 or something, isn't he?
He doesn't look that old.
He is.
He's that old.
It feels like he's got chalk on his hair.
Yeah, but I added that.
I said, I want the whole look.
So I put some talc on his shoulders and his in his ear.
And I said, can you hunch over and walk about?
And he's playing the role.
He's not really
No, he is 86
But I've asked him to look like
An old fashion
Like a stereotypical old butler
That you'd see in a sitcom
Or a panto
Okay, that makes sense now
And I've asked him to wear a big nappy
Because he's not allowed to go to the toilet
When he's here
So he has to shit in shit in his pants
What?
What?
He has to shit in his pants
Let him let him use my toilet
Should we try some of these snacks then?
Yeah, go on, they're over there, bring him in
He just put them there
What do you want to start with first?
Let's do the Pringles first
Right, these are the Christmas
Pringle flavors for this year.
All right, limited edition.
Right, the first one is Pringle's roast turkey flavor.
And it's on the front, it's got a slice of turkey on and a bobble and a Pringle.
That's nice, isn't it?
It's got a Pringle-shaped slice of turkey.
Eli, I would like you to give us the Office Christmas Party Huff.
I will not take that away from you.
You're the Huffmeister.
You're in charge of snuffage.
Oh, I thank you.
But, Paul, I think we both know what these are going to taste and smell like.
Roast chicken flavor of walkers.
Because it's hard to get turkey right, isn't it?
I mean, it's not a great taste.
It's not, but it's kind of weirdly bland
in a very specific way, that's hard to pinpoint.
It's bitter and tasteless at the same time.
Like me?
Yeah, that's good, yeah, yeah.
I was going to say you, but I thought, nah, that's me.
That's me, how horrible, man.
No, it's don't, oh, God.
Anyway.
I'm getting the sad part of the boo's coming on now.
I've gone past that.
I'm going to give this the huff.
I'm in charge of snuffage.
But when will horny come?
Hornie will come soon.
Horny come soon
Christmas horny come soon
All right here we go
Go on hoff
Hough hoff
Smells exactly like
Yeah
Roast chicken flavoured walkers
Can I smell it
Just tell me I'm wrong
They can't distinguish
It smells exactly like that
I will be fair
And say
There are turkey notes
But I do agree that
Overall the kind of spicy
Part of it is roast chicken
Turkey notes
Wasn't that like a group
in the five guys named Moe Musical.
Yes.
I'm trying.
You are.
And I appreciate it.
Oh, right.
Give us one of those.
I don't even want to taste it.
We need to stop doing weird random shit.
We need to stop being witty people.
We can...
2026 is the witty year.
All right.
Well, we're very...
What's the word?
Aradite.
What's the word?
These aren't the adroids you're looking for.
These aren't the adroit you're looking for.
Erudite means is like...
It means well spoken, I guess.
Yeah, we should be more well spoken next year.
I think that's what people want from us.
Really?
Just saying.
Right, here we go.
I'm going to take the top one off here.
Well, you...
There you go.
Pringles, you can't go wrong with those little paraboloids.
Oh, that's nice.
Very erudite of you.
Parabolo.
See what I mean?
Roast chicken.
They're not bad.
Yeah, all right, actually.
Quite a nice strong flavour.
Yeah.
It's just roast turkeys it meant to be.
Yeah.
I mean, to say that's a limited edition, I mean...
I mean, it is because they'll sell it for two months around this time of year and that's it.
a year and that's it.
Whatever.
You don't see
Walker's Rose chicken flavour
anymore though.
Do you not?
No, I think they probably exist
in multi-packs
in B&M and that sort of thing.
Multi-packs.
But...
That's what she was looking for
in the fifth element.
Multi-packs.
Was she?
Yeah.
Is that true?
No.
What was she looking for?
Multi-pass.
Ah.
Anyway, next one,
we got two tubes of Pringles
and this one's another
Christmas limited edition.
What is it, mate?
This is Pringles' limited edition
Pigs in Blankets.
Now, that's a British dish.
Is it not an American
thing? Do they not have pigs in blankets? I do not think they do.
They don't wrap bacon in sausage.
I think they call them hogs in...
Hogs eyes. Hogs eyes
in a bed. No, hogs and coat.
They've got another word for it, I think.
Hog in coat. Yeah. That's a good one.
I don't think it's hogging coat.
Americans, if there's many of you, tell us what you
call pigs in blankets, which is bacon wrapped
in sausage. I don't know for sure, but I think it's a
British thing. Fine. I didn't know. I think it's a British thing.
I mean, Americans must wrap sausage in bacon. They wrap meat and
other meat. They don't have... Like Taduckin.
Yes.
That's an American thing, isn't it?
Dockons?
Have you sort of crack duckin?
Crack duckin?
Tercracken.
Tercracken.
Which is a big turkey, but it's got an octopus coming out.
It's bum hole sort of.
So it looks like Cthuloo.
Like Cthuloo.
Yeah.
Pretty cool, huh?
Conceptually, yeah.
In reality, what a fucking disgusting, horrible, nasty thing.
Now.
No, but you know, for example, they don't have toad in a hole in America, do they?
No.
Which is also a sausage-based.
Is that too strong for you?
It's just, oh, fuck me.
It's nice, though.
It's very Christmassy.
It's not that it's not nice.
It's just, whoa, baby boy, I'm growing up today.
Right, I'm giving a chaffer late and a jophilate.
Hog and a coat.
Pigs and blackies, what will these taste smell like?
I mean, this is.
Wait, wait, wait, is it going to be sausage or bacon?
Is it going to be paprika?
Hopefully.
No, no paprika.
No, but, you know, they sometimes use it as a kind of bacony kind of flavoring.
Because of the smokiness, yes.
Yeah, right.
He's going in for the hoof.
A Christmas.
Week show.
Week show?
Week show?
Week show?
A weak show on cheap show?
Week show.
It smells like shitty bacon crisps.
Yeah, almost.
Not even that strong.
Not as strong as a frazzle.
No.
I'm not going to enjoy these.
Well, you don't know,
because we've often been surprised
by things that smell bad.
I don't think he smells bad.
It's just not much smell at all.
Am I wrong in thinking there's a weird coconut note to that?
Yes.
Do you know what I mean?
There's a weird kind of coconut fibre flavour flavour.
thing going on? No, to me they're
oversweet. That's sweet, ma'am.
I'm getting this weird coconut note.
I can't explain it. You know, you get
like desiccated coconut? Yeah.
I'm getting like that kind of flavour profile.
Like at the back, umami-ish at the back.
I prefer the turkey. For me, the flavour
is dropping off immediately.
You know we need to bring back? Turkey is an
insult. You're a turkey.
Jive turkey. You're a jive turkey, man.
You're turkey.
Jive turkey is somebody who runs their mouth.
Yeah. You're a jive turkey.
Jive turkey, man.
I'm going to bring that back.
Next year's the year of Jive Turkey.
There is a song called...
Jive turkey, a garbler...
No, there is a song by...
Who?
Ohio players.
Called Jive turkey.
Cool.
Pretty good, yeah.
But I'm going to do jive talking.
Jive turkey, a gobbledigoo.
He got my jive turkey.
What do you want?
What do you want?
What do you want?
Next snacks.
Oh.
I didn't buy a lot of snacks.
Do you want to do Doritos or do you want to do Jaffers?
I think we should end on the Doritos.
All right, let's get the Jaffers out.
Now, these did catch my eye.
Jaffer snacks.
This is my most anticipated item of today's party.
Is it?
Is it?
Cosmic berry flavour.
Jaffer cakes.
They're new.
Now, we did try the most recent limited edition
unusual flavour jaffer cake we tried
was hot honey.
Hot honey, which is fine.
I don't know.
No, no, it didn't work for me.
I tell you what, I had a Thanksgiving stroke Christmas meal yesterday.
I thought you're just going to end the sentence there with a Thanksgiving stroke.
And it's like, oh, look are you.
I mean, the odds are.
I can't remember whether I did, but the odds are, yeah, it probably did.
Within that era, that small snip off of time, yeah.
Small snip off of time, small snip off of time.
Again, you're using the wrong words.
But it works.
Especially for time-based things you're really bad on.
It was like a fair few years, you said, meaning a short amount of years, but that's not what that means.
And then now you say,
now you say era to mean one day.
Epoch.
It's even longer.
Epoch, merrily on eye.
It's Christmas time tomorrow.
Sticking up your eye.
I'm going to make you sorrow.
Oh,
Jimmy Cranky's Fanny.
I've thought about that.
I've thought about that.
I've thought about.
It's probably very nice.
What happens where after a show,
No, Jimmy Cranky and the other one, Bobby Cranky,
I don't know what his name is.
It's like they're in the mood.
And he has to watch a get undressed as a schoolboy.
And I was thinking, does he like...
Is that his favourite thing?
Both too tired.
He does. He does.
I reckon they get off on it.
I reckon the kit comes down.
They do a bit, they do a few bowing.
And then he...
That is. I hold in my hand.
He goes, taking off, Jeanette.
And she goes, OK, the new.
And it pulls here fanny out.
He loves it.
But she keeps the cat on.
Not the cat, the hat on.
She keeps the hat on all the way through.
So international listeners, I'm sorry if that reference me to nothing to you.
But basically, there's a genuine act in this country
where a grown man and his wife pretend to be an adult and a small school child
where they get up to naughty hijinks.
But in real life, they're having sex right after.
And Bobby Davro wanted it.
And a lot of you don't even know who Bobby Davro is, but he's a cunt and all.
Anyway, I'm going to finish this old-fashioned.
Oh, my God.
And then that's it for you, I think.
So I've got all the drinks at the fridge
and I've got other stuff.
Paul.
Kiss me.
Oh, here's the Jaffa Cakes.
Look at that.
That's a whole sleeve of Japper Cakes.
Shut up.
Yeah, it is.
Oh, my mouth aren't working.
Jaffer cakes.
Jaffer cakes.
Right.
But that doesn't that look small to you?
That's what she said to him.
Doesn't that look, that shrinkflation?
It looks like shrinkflation.
That's what I say to my partner.
Look, there's a whole baggy end of this sleeve.
It's not very big, isn't it?
I say, oh, I love it, it's shrinkflation, isn't it?
Hard time's living through.
Now, what do you think the...
It's, mate, it's austerity.
Oh, austerity.
You lost it, mate.
Oh, austerity.
Yes, he's banking now.
Osterity.
Trigflation.
Forsterity.
Yeah, I know how I've lost.
Right, what are this flavour again?
Jaffer cake flavour.
You board with that.
With forsterity, yeah.
Swah.
Svore.
Svorreity.
Severity.
Cosmic berry.
So what does that mean?
What does that mean?
I don't know.
Where have you put the box?
There are no cosmic berries that we know of.
Where did I put the fucking box?
Mate, you can't be too far.
It's a guy in January.
What we've done your nose?
No, monny, nini.
Yes.
Cosmic berry.
So it's just going to be a general berry flavor.
I want to see if I can see what it says.
Ingredients.
Dark chocolate, sugar.
Oh, it's dark chocolate?
It's always been dark chocolate.
It's always dark chocolate.
Right.
Does it say here what the flavour is meant to sort of be?
No, actually, it doesn't really infer anything in terms of.
It just says, spotlight, sponge cakes with dark chocolatey chocolate at a berry flavour centre.
It's just berry flavoured.
What makes it cosmic?
Nothing.
The fact that it's generic berry.
Do you know what I think?
Or sparkles.
Now, it's been a cosmic thing
because we tasted cosmic Coke.
I can add to this.
Okay.
Jaffirmatics.
That's the details.
Chocolate on top,
sponge on the bottom
and a tangy berry flavor
in the middle.
Meaningless.
Meaningless.
Chummy.
I'm handing it.
He's doing something
because fly.
His fly was undone.
This whole recording.
I wondered what that smell was.
Yes.
Fisci business.
It was your man chauvy cream.
It was my old man Gannon's manchovey fish business.
Tip paste.
Now, tip paste.
Right.
I'm going to make a prediction.
Yeah.
I think it's going to have a generic berry flavor,
but there will be a distinct vanilla note, I think.
I wonder what the tang part means.
I think it'll be a vanilla note.
The tang will be a sourness.
Yeah.
Well, you know what?
Let's stop nattering and start eating.
Hmm.
It's like a candy floss kind of thing.
It's got very little flavour.
I'm going to...
No, it's got very little flavour.
I'm going to just eat the jelly.
It's fine.
It does taste like candy floss,
because candy floss has no flavour either.
No, just sweetness.
Just sweetness.
God, that's terrible.
They're awful.
Can I just recommend to McFitties
that they just stopped doing this now?
That's terrible.
Because since we started this podcast,
we've seen many, many flavor variations
of Jaffa cake come through our doors.
We haven't?
We have.
Not just on the podcast,
but the many Patreon episodes
we've done, we never did the hot honey on the, on the main podcast.
We did it on the Patreon one.
Oh, that's right.
Or the Coca-Cola or the strawberry or the lime or whatever it was.
Oh, there was lime, yeah.
And they're all awful.
Yeah, that might be the worst, though, in terms of...
No, I think that's fine compared to some of them.
That has no flavour at all of berry.
No. No, no, it's generic sweet flavour.
It could be anything.
You could have said that was strawberry, I believe you.
Yeah.
It's a berry, I guess.
Very poor. I'm going to give it two out of five.
Oh, we rated them?
Because I haven't rated any of these.
Pigs in blanket, two out of five.
Two.
Roast, turkey, three out of five.
I'll give three as well.
These I'll give two.
Yeah.
And then last one, last one, last one.
I've been not looking forward to these for several months now.
I also have not been looking forward to these for a while.
Also, by the way, me and Eli had some camembert croquettes and some spicy things before the recording.
Halapino poppers.
They were lovely.
They've known as Halapino poppers in the States.
I got them, a pound each box of them, a pound each of oldie.
Oldie. And they were really nice, weren't they?
They were fine. They were lovely five.
Anyway, that's not in the podcast, but it was part of our eating party podcast, office party podcast pouch.
I own in my...
He owns in his hand, this bag of Doritos.
I comb in my hand.
He has a bag of Doritos in his hand.
I have a bag of Doritos in my hand.
Come on there, are you like?
They're a limited edition, and they are, wait for it.
Oh, you do.
Gingerbread flavour.
Right.
limited edition Doritos does that make anyone happy
the thought of it no who's happy about that what's the point of it
is gingerbread a Christmas thing it kind of is it can yeah it kind of is
it came out a few months ago because we've been hanging on to this
you could make a weak argument for it being a Halloween thing too
but it's an autumn thing in it it's nothing else it's a seasonal
or if you're American fall have you ever thought to yourself
oh should I kill myself yeah sometimes
Have you ever thought to yourself...
Let's just do it.
No, have you ever thought to yourself, you know what I'd like?
I'd like a corn chip, savory corn chip.
Savory corn chip.
That tastes of gingerbread.
No one's wanted that.
Who wants it?
Who came up with this?
Also, primarily these are made for dipping, right?
They're not things that really exist on their own.
You can dip in chocolate.
They do exist on their own.
People have Doritos for lunch.
Like, they have like a packet of cool blue.
No, no, no.
I get that.
But what I'm saying is that's because they've crispified.
it. But the Dorito chip itself
usually is with a salsa, right? It's kind of part
and part of the deal. A plain, a plain tortilla
chip. Doritos, their flavour.
But the inference is that Doritos are a dipping
item. That's why they sell so many fucking
dipping sauces with them. The big pots of
goo, that'd be called. We do do that. You know what?
We haven't tasted, which I still have a pot of.
What? The Stranger Things, black garlic
dip. Fine, we'll give that a go, right not. Maybe
it'll be a Patreon thing. Join that,
pachron.com, forward slash cheap show. That's out the way.
Now, I'm looking at the back of this
packet of a limited edition of
Doritos and it says full-on crunch.
Yeah, I gave it a full-on crunch.
You want that with an intense
gingerbread flavour.
Oh, it's intense, great.
Yeah, I really want an intense, horrible flavour on this.
I like gingerbread, but only when it's in its rightful place.
I can have a small amount.
I'm not like huge on it.
Do you like gingerbread men?
That's not an inferring anything.
I'm just saying you like gingerbread men.
Yes.
Do you like gingerbread men?
I'm not here you're going to do that.
Right.
Right, huff time.
Huffer late and jostlate.
Gingerbread flavored Doritos.
There we go.
I'd like to kick your ass a lot.
Oh, God.
That was a very violent reaction, if you don't mind me saying so.
Can I ever snuff?
Should I?
There we go.
Fucking hell, that smells like stale popcorn.
Farty, it's very farty.
Oh, no, that's not healthy.
I mean, I'm getting the ginger, I'm getting the corn.
I can smell it all.
It doesn't go together.
Oh, I don't know if I'm going to like this.
Is there any coloration?
No, it looks plain weirdly.
It looks like a plain one.
It does, yeah.
It's a slight orange hue, I'd wager.
Oh, that's really nasty.
The smell is actually really nasty.
Right, let's see how this goes.
Here we go.
Three, two, one.
Okay.
No.
That's not working for me.
That's really sweet.
That's not working for me.
That almost tastes like Chinese food.
I don't know how to explain that either
Well, ginger is one of the big elements
In a lot of Chinese food
Yeah, that isn't work
Sweet, yeah, sweet and ginger would be
in a Chinese dish
I can see where you're going with that
Yeah, right, well it doesn't work here
No, very nice
Not, I mean, they're not
I wouldn't want to eat another one, put it that way
I can't even eat this one
I'm fighting it, mate
It's just swirling around my jowls
Too sweet
Oh, man, hang on
Jarvis
Jarvis!
Yes, sir
Put your hands out
Put your hands out, like a cup.
No, don't do that, Paul, don't do that.
Don't do that, man.
Paul, I'm sorry about it.
Sorry, I'm really sorry about that.
Come here, no, come here.
P.
There we go, fuck off.
Thank you, sir.
He could just wash his hands, it's fine.
Yeah, but you shouldn't treat people like that.
I'll bring him like I want.
He's my Christmas butler.
Does be thankful I don't treat you.
like this.
You'd do all this for the same money.
No, I wouldn't.
If I paid you £500 to put it with all this,
you'd fucking do it.
You would.
I'd pay £1,000 on top of that to make it.
What are you getting all this money from?
I'm not going to shush.
I'll be the whistleblower.
My mouth feels hot.
My ginger hot.
Yeah.
Ginger has heat.
It's non-chilly heat, but it has a spicy heat.
I don't like this.
It's closer to black pepper sort of heat.
1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.1.5 out of 5 out of 5 for that.
Ginger might be the new big heat thing.
Don't like it.
You know there's Gal-Gall.
What would you give it?
Gal-Gall-Gall-Gall-Gall-Gall-Gall-Gall-Gall-Gallon's Gal-Gall.
You can keep not hearing it if you want.
What?
Say what?
Oh, no, you're going to do something racist now?
No, poor-quah.
You were going to do?
What was I going to do that?
Was I going to do that?
Like, that guy out of faulty towers?
Well, that wasn't what I was saying at all.
That was racist.
That is racist.
And you're a racist for bringing up because I wasn't thinking about that.
I was just saying, por qua.
I hope you've enjoyed some episodes this year.
We've done lots of lovely episodes this year.
I'm not feeling very well.
We had our weird episode this year.
We had our inside track bot.
Your foot's touching the microphone cable movie.
Don't lie back.
Sit up straight.
We've got...
I'm going full on flu.
Would you like more booze?
We've got those presents, haven't we, coming?
And that's stuff from Leighton.
So we should do that now.
Jervis!
Javis!
Javis!
Yes.
Sir.
Eat that, Jarvis.
Sniff it.
Sniff that Jarvis.
Don't make him do that.
He just, sniff Eli's fart just then.
I didn't do.
Sniff it.
I'm wafting it that way.
Thank you, sir.
Oh, God, I'm sorry everyone for the quality of this.
Smells like a roast dinner, sir.
Thank you for that as well, sir.
Thank you Jarvis.
That's Eli burping in your face.
Now, go bring us some more booze.
presence, all right?
Do it now.
Also, when you walk out the room,
I want you to walk out like you're a ballet dancer
on your tippy toes with your hands above your head.
Do that.
Don't have to do that.
Do that. Do it.
However you say, sir.
Do it.
On your tippy toes.
Do it.
There we go.
Yay.
Tippy toes.
Hey.
This is fucking great, mate.
I'm loving this.
Loving it.
You're a fucking huge...
Come on.
It's Christmas.
Christmas party.
Right, let's get some more booze on.
Party time.
I'm going to put some music on.
There we go.
Thank you, Jingle Bears, Jingle Bells, Jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to write in a life horse open swaying.
Thank you, Jarvis.
Fuck off out the room.
Go on.
Bye-bye, bye-bye.
Right.
He's brought in some drinks.
Latens gave to you.
the deal, right?
Should we open the present from Leighton?
Yeah.
Let's do it.
Christmas presents. I fucking love it. Let's bring it on. Thank you, Leighton. Is it for both of us, these, or is it just one? All right, so it's one for both. Cheap show, Merry Christmas.
Yeah, there's a pack for both of us, mate.
Oh, no, one's with chili.
Which you want?
Just the normal.
You were, really?
Yeah.
And we had not, didn't we have these before?
Oh.
Didn't we have snack of pickles?
Look at these tiny ones.
These are great.
Can I have one?
Oh, what one?
I'm having two.
Oh, they're like that.
Oh, okay, because remember we had those crisps that were sliced pickles.
Yeah, these are actual pickles.
Oh, that's all right, isn't it?
They're nice.
Oh, that's all right.
They retain their crunch, they're a little sealed packs.
Yeah, the little tiny pickles.
Like cat food sachets, aren't they?
Cat food sachets, like dreamies.
Oh, they're good.
Very tough.
Surprisingly.
Let's try the spicy ones.
Yeah.
Oh, I like a little pickle, me.
These are by Sirius Pig, who I do make crackling and stuff like that, I believe.
Do they?
And charcutory type things, yes.
Why would they call pig?
And they've got pickles, I mean.
Piggles.
Pick Piggles.
Picklepicks.
Pickle pigs.
Please stop.
I will never.
I will annoy you to the day you or I die.
This is the chili one.
They're really good.
What makes them chili?
I've got chili in.
In?
Or on.
In?
And on.
And around.
I've got a bite to him.
Yeah, all right, though.
Yeah.
They retain their crunch.
Very nice.
Yeah, there's a little bit of heat there.
There's definitely some heat there.
Mmm.
Right.
So, he gave us some drinks as well, did he?
Let's get them on the go.
All right, mate.
Spicy Marg.
White box.
No, you know what?
We should start with...
Start with the other one.
Old fashioned, because we had an old fashion.
Oh, because we had an old fashion.
already, yeah. Eli's right again.
Old fashioned in a can.
Get your glass over. Oh, it's nice and chilled from your fridge.
It didn't been in the fridge.
Jarvis, mate, I told Jarvis to make sure it was sealed the whole fucking time.
Oh, mate, I might have a shit.
All of a sudden, I've got an urgency.
It's fine. I'll bite down.
It's all right, go on.
You don't want to bite down so hard that you buy the head off and the head rolls around.
Yeah.
Turtle head.
Like the scene in the thing where it grows legs and scuttles out the door.
What's it smell like?
It smells like a very terrible version of the drink we just had from Jarvis.
No.
Well, this is from Leighton.
That's it.
I mean, it looks like old-fashioned.
Looks exactly the same colour.
What are you going to say?
It's the same thing.
Same colour.
Smells the same?
No, it doesn't.
It smells weaker to me.
More carbure.
You've smelt it from the tin, whereas I've smelt it from the cup, which has the remnants of the good one.
And also, I'm the resident super-taster.
You are the resident.
Well, you super-taster and sniffer do different things.
No, they're completely related.
Has anyone who knew about super-tasting would know.
No, no, no.
You can only be one or the other.
No, supertasters have a great sense of smell.
Do you pick one?
The smell and taste are completely related.
I know they're related, but you can only be one.
It's not, supertaste.
You have to pick one now.
It means the same thing.
Do you want to be a taster or a sniffer?
I'm both.
I'm a super taster and sniffer.
No, you can't be.
I won't let you.
I don't care.
I don't care what you say.
You don't care what you should.
They're my terms.
I'll define them any way I like.
Were you?
Yep.
How?
Here we go.
I'm a super blabba, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Blabba, blah, blah.
Wow.
Yeah, it's about your level.
How a droid of you?
These aren't the droids you're looking for.
I'll drop your droids.
Right, I'm going to have some of this.
Compare it to Jarvis's freshly made.
That's just, that's just whiskey.
What's like weirdly sweet.
Which is what an old fashion is.
No, but taste it.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, you know what I mean?
It's so too sweet.
It's too sweet.
Too sweet.
Oh, it's way too sweet.
It really puts into relief that one eye.
made, I mean Jarvis made, which was
really good, wasn't it? No, you made it, but Jarvis
brought it in. Oh, I see. Oh, no, did he?
No, he made it. It was really nice, that,
wasn't it? What was the C-I-Player? It was really nice?
No, much better. That's...
That is too much. That's almost like
turns my stomach a little bit. Yeah, I mean, booze
tends to, and you weren't going to get too pissed this time.
I'm not. I'm... Because I'm drinking
water as well, look at it. That's good.
And I'm pacing myself. No, that's quite unpleasant.
Oh, it's a shame, isn't it? Maybe the spicy
mug will do better. Right. Now, spicy mug, I don't know if you've
noticed, but it's very much the it cocktail of the moment with Gen Z or whatever.
God, I was on the Blues Kitchen website.
Yeah.
But you know what, honestly, I went from being married and then having that swig.
It was really turned the corner.
Don't come turn around again.
I might forego the rest of that.
Honestly, that is...
Oh yeah, no, I'm not going to drink it.
That's repulsive almost.
It's too much of every...
Well, we'll have a sip of the spicy marg than they can.
Oh, God, that's really turned.
We're going to taste these beers as well.
We don't have to drink a lot of them.
That's a plot twist there.
I didn't like it.
Oh.
He was the villain.
He was the villain all along.
It can't get as bad as last time.
But spicy marg, very much the drink du jour.
White box is this company.
And it is simply a margarita with chili added, basically.
Spicy margarita cocktail.
That's all it says.
Because I was on the Blues Kitchen website and said,
oh, fancy, don't go home from work.
Come and have frozen spicy marks.
So it's like cheeky nando's.
Spicy marg.
What, like a slush puppy thing?
Is that what it is?
A frozen margarita is, but they're like, spicy marg.
I bet it's delicious, actually, as a concept.
I'm all about it.
I bet this is too sweet, just like the other one.
Let's find out.
What's the smell saying?
Thanks for these, Leighton.
The pickles are great.
I will have those.
The pickles are great, mate.
I'm going to have those.
We are in agreement on the pickles.
This, though, is sniff that.
Just sniff that and just have a quandary.
White Box is the brand, by the way.
I said that.
Oh, you did.
No, twice.
See? Right, that was my reaction.
That's a tequila. It's a cheap tequila smell.
Yeah, I'm having a sip of this because this sounds like it, it, it will rot me from the inside out.
Just have a small sip.
No. There's a weird almond note to this, which is really off-putting.
You see weird notes everywhere.
Right, okay, when I give you this back, you don't tell me there's a weird kind of marsy pan almond note.
But that's the same as what I get as tequila has a sort of almondness to it.
Oh, no.
Oh, God.
Oh, no.
That's evil
That's absolutely fucking evil
Is it real bad
I don't like that
I don't like that
That's the most serious
You've been all day
Don't like that
Yeah right
It gives you the shivers
There is something bad about that
It should be a lot colder
I didn't hate that that much
No I didn't like that
That did not work for me
It's the sort of cheap tequila flavour
I think is what you're getting
Oh god no it's that weird
I'm slavro
Like my body says
to be sick now.
Yeah, that's what the excessive
salivation is.
A vom-vom-vom.
A vom-a-vom?
I have one, two, three options right now.
Vom-a-v-v-vom.
Vom, poo, wank.
And I don't know which one I want to take the...
I'm all out of come.
And I'm all out of come.
Now...
Yeah, I'm all out of come.
I am all out of time.
That has kind of turned the corner with me.
Right, you see what I mean?
It's like, we've turned the corner now.
We have to sip some beer.
We have to sip those.
We have to taste those.
Let's just do one then, because honestly, I want those to be a nice date.
It's a nice party end.
It's our last episode.
It's our last episode of the year, mate.
So, come on.
So which one of these two do you want to try?
Can I do my vomom-a-vom joke, please?
Because I've been developing it.
Oh, this is a very fancy party.

Too sweet. Is that too sweet. Yeah.
Too sweet. Too sweet. It's too syrupy.

How you could is beyond me sometimes, especially this nonsense.
He's coming out with today.
The Paul and Eli, shut up, Eli, says that in the letter.
Oh, yeah, what else does he say?
Shut up, Eli.
You're talking too much in this episode.

De Paul and Eli, it's never too early for Christmas.
Both items were found that dollar tree.
This is from America.
Idolatry.
Good.
Which has some fun stuff for you if you can dig through all the tat.
Paul, there was part two of your gift, but mailing it internationally turned out to be illegal.
I wonder what that was.
Scat.
Keep up the great work, fingers crossed for more rewards, and Merry Christmas.
Thank you.
And this is from, is that Evie, do you think?

Okay.
Give you a little palm wriggle.
Thank you.
I like it.

That's giving me a little tinge in my wanky chaffed.
Like two presents.
Eric, thanks very much.
Here's your present.
Oh, it's got Snoopy wrapping on.
Oh, it's got peanuts wrapping.
That is excellent touch.
That is wrecking.
I don't want to ruin this.
I know, but...
I love this.
Yeah, that is so...
I mean, I'm going to tear it, but I'll do it.
Are these from the Christmas for TV specials?
I presume so.
I think it must be, mustn't it?
Oh!
What have you got?
Oh!
I have a...
Sight Kick of Salem tarot and horoscopes.
Oh, it's...
It's an empty box.
That must be...
Part two must be.
So it was part two, the tarot card, and that's illegal.
And you can't send tarot...
So he's just sent me a box.
I've just got a box, Eric.
You've just sent me a box that says Psychic of Salem,
Tarrow and Horaceos.
You can't send them because they're witchy.
Is that true?
You can't send tarot.
It's a nice box.
You put that on his shelf.
I mean, I presume that's what pot.
I mean, what am I going to do with a box, Eric?
Put some cards in it or something.
It's nice.
I like it.
It looks like a book, like a magic book.
Yeah, it doesn't like a magic book.
It looks like a pink magic book.
But it's empty.

It is.
What do you want?
At least you've got a present.

with coasters on it.
It's not an actual.
Look at that.
That's good.

I don't think it's a real record,
but is it made from vinyl?
No.

I want to check something.
It must have been the illegal thing, but it was in the box.
Is it illegal to send tarot internationally?
Devil worship.
It is not generally illegal to send tarot cards internationally,
as they are basically playing cards.
However, the legality depends entirely on the destination.
Country-specific laws regarding items related to fortune-telling witchcraft or religious beliefs.
There's no laws here about that.
think there is.
Eric, do let us know
what part two was, please.
What is part two?
Because I'm confused.
Although in Oklahoma,
Wisconsin, Minnesota and North Carolina,
tarot cards and fortune telling
is banned.
Wow.
Illegally, apparently.
So maybe he comes from one of those states?
Yeah.
I don't know.
Either way, I got a box.
And you got cool coasters.
Do you want them?
No.
Well, then.
I don't need coasters in my life.
Why not?

Bulldozer
Simply pulling and twisting
Makes a bulldoze
That's ready for work
I've got an aeroplane

Look at that
Do you prefer the plane
You can have both
Mate
I'll let you have both
Actually no I like
I do like this one
The Bulldozer
Féche de se
Formage de la amusement
Vehicle le tut
This is like that
Rabbit I've got
It's like the rabbit
But vehicles
Because it sort of turns
into a geometric shape.
God, I love these so much.
Oh, this one's a bit...
These are mint.
Almost mint, yeah.
This looks...
Oh, look at that.
Look at that.
Paul, I love that.
I want your one so much.
All right, you can have that one.
That's a bulldozer.
It's got wheels and shit.
Fucking great.
This is one of the best things
I've ever seen.
Look at that.
Mr. Grimsdale.
Look at that's a little bulldozer.
That is so, there's something about that, the aesthetic of that bulldozer.
Oh, I love these. I love these.
Look at this, it's a little plane.
Yeah, the bulldozer one.
Oh, look, it opens up.
Oh, no, it's a triangle.
Oh, I see.
I see.
It is a triangle first.
It's a triangle first.
And then it transforms.
The balldozer is a square first.
Turns into a play.
Actually, the plane's quite clever.
Actually, the plane's quite clever when you think about it.
Do you want to hang on to that?
Maybe I will, yeah.
We'll do swapses.
I love this.
Yeah.
I love this bulldozer so much.
God, I love that.
That's my best thing I've seen all day
Yeah, it's good that
I love these tommy toys
Thank you Joe
Next one
God this is a cornucopia
There's a jar of stuff
There's a jar of time
It looks like a monster in my pockets
And muscle men
Let's have a look
I see what they've written down
There's packaging
Wrapping
Look, it's a bike reflector
Yeah so these were chunky changers
They were called
Modular Aircraft and modular bulldozer
At right next
No chunky changes
With those chunky changes
Yeah that's what they're called
choking chunky changers
Paul and Eli
plastic container gold lid
contains a few classic
1989 Kellogg's reflectors
a staple of childhood backpacks
That's what that is
That's what they are
I used to have those
And you stick them on your spokes
On your bike
And they're reflective
So a car don't run you over on the road
You got them free with
Well this case
It would have been frosties
Because you've got Tony Tiger
It's weird how things
Keep coming up
Because we talked about ESO
Yeah earlier today
There's the cock
From Corn Flakes
Excuse me
Oh pardon madam me darling
What else is in it?
Pink Panther?
Pink Panther.
Oh, a little pink panther?
What's he holding?
There's also Mattel Mini-Boggling's in there.
Mini-Boggling?
There's a mini-boggling.
It's a little god.
I love mini-bogglins.
I'll have them.
Lacking the highly perjable rubbery hand puppet quality
of the 1987 largest siblings,
Mattel Minibloglins are small, hard, plastic-mouldered trinkets.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Can I share me?
One mini-boggling.
Yeah, we can go through that.
And then they also have 1996 Monster Sports Stars in My Pocket.
These, I think.
So, yeah.
Collectibles from the Clough of Frosties.
Is that the Beast from X-Men?
Is that Beast from X-Men?
No.
Well, this one says here, including a teen Yeti-like surfer,
smiling delightly in his bulgy smugglers.
So, yeah, it must be that one.
Oh, here's a were-wall.
That's the little Yety one.
Is it?
Yeah.
Yeah, Pink Panther.
1972 Pink Panther commercials.
So that's from 1972, that Pink Panther thing.
Fucking Panther thing.
Cool, man.
And it came with some Pink Panther cereal.
Oh, God, all of this stuff, such great time.
I always thought it was a Shakespeare reference with him holding a school,
but it appears to be a cheeseburger instead.
Yeah, I was going to say burger.
Yeah.
Oh, look, classic muscle guy.
Yeah, muscle man.
So that's in that pot then.
All right, so we move on.
We've got to move on.
We've got to keep moving it, baby.
I think there's three boglins.
No, there's plenty boglins.
There's another bogling.
There's a bogling with an ice cream cone on its head.
Yeah.
Do you remember that one?
I do.
You do?
I've got a bigger version of that up on a shelf somewhere.
Oh, my God.
What a fantastic cornycopia of Tats.
We'll try and take some pictures of show this.
This is a real highlight of the whole year.
Isn't it?
That's why I thought I'd save it for our office party finale.
Don't you think that was the right decision?
Yes.
Because, mate, the gifts don't stop coming.
Here's a quick one.
There's no box for this.
You might like this one.
No rapping.
It says a 1991 blurb ball by Ertel,
a gross out rubber ball character,
housing, a projectile insert for four full torment.
This one's called
sharky skorg-squirt.
So it's a big kind of ball
that looks like a shark
and when you squeeze it
you can fire out a little projectile.
Don't fire at me face.
It's not working. The monkey face is not coming out.
What's in it? This is weird.
Really weird. This one comes from their own
childhood toy box and still contains
a waft of attic. For some reason
I assume the projector was the Egyptian mummy
with headdress.
Don't fire in the face.
It's all right. You've got glasses on.
Rather than a skeletal diver who's been
chewed up by the shark.
That's what it's meant to be.
But he looks more like a mummy.
Yeah, he does, because he's got some jewellery on.
Does have a powerful pot, but needs precise placement and tough squeezing to properly
damage Friends property.
There we go.
Where did he go, though?
I don't know you've...
Oh, shit.
It's probably behind your feet now.
No, he went over there.
Well, then I don't know where it's gone.
You've lost the monkey head.
It's a diver.
It's not.
It's a pharaoh.
No, it says, no, it says, you think it looks like that.
But it's actually a diver that's been eaten by the shark, isn't it?
Yeah.
He says, right now on eBay, they go for 50, 60 quid each.
Fuck me.
Find that head.
Designed by James Groman, who also designed Am Toys' 1986 Mad Balls.
Right, so there we go.
Next thing.
So we'll have that.
You found the little thing you fired.
Yeah, but I hadn't fired it in the last bit.
Because we lost the audio a little bit.
Right, little explaining to do, everyone.
No, don't move on.
It's fine.
He fired it, we lost it.
We found it.
No, we didn't say how much it was worth.
We did.
Didn't we?
Yeah, we did.
Because I said the 50 quid thing.
thing wrong before I said it was designed by the guy who did
Amtoy's. So yeah, I did say it first.
We found the diver now, so all
is well. Paul will find out in the edit whether
he did. I found out now, Gannon
knows best. Right next present.
A red and white striped envelope
of some kind. This is a fantastic
bunch of stuff. Thank you again, Joe.
It is a fucking great thing. I love
this shark with the diver thing
head, man. I love it. And those tomy
things are actually giving me actual
fluid flow into the knobskin.
Mate, everything so far is generating fizzing in my gizzards.
Oh.
Right, next one is this red and white striped...
Okay, can I?
Envelope, yes.
So I didn't mean to grab.
No, go on, you can...
Oh, this is for me specifically these, actually.
Well, I'll open it and give it to you, yeah?
Why?
All right, fine.
Why would I...
It's for me specifically.
So let me have a look.
Ghostbusters.
That's my Predict.
Do you think?
I know what it is, because I saw what the listing said there,
and that's why I'm excited to open this.
This is the stuff that makes Gannon's.
Christmas. Indiana Jones or Ghostbusters.
I mean, it might be related to that. I haven't seen the
content yet. Oh, you just know what kind of thing it is.
Oh, it's a couple of looking
issues. Oh, look at that.
From the 70s, including Muppet album and stickers.
Oh, I've never seen one that old. No, it's a
70s one. That's fucking great, man.
This has got, just give you an idea
of, it's got an actual painted, illustrated
cover. Yeah. Celebrities actually someone took the time to paint.
The guy who used to design these covers
was also a movie post designer for films
like, you know, on the bus is the movie.
That really looks like a movie poster of the style.
Brilliant.
Oh, that's brilliant.
Again, we might go into more detail with this later.
Let's name a few of these.
It's my stuff.
You don't.
Can I just name them, though?
You point and I name.
All right.
You point an eye name.
All right.
Let's both try and name all of these.
Well, that's Sapphire and Steel, the TV show.
That's Joanna Lumley.
Yeah.
Who was that actor called?
Oh, he was in the Man for Munkul as well.
What was he called?
Peter.
Peter Dipsons.
Anyway, Sapphire and Steel.
You're not being serious.
Duke St. John.
Is that Duke St. John?
No, I don't know who...
I made that name up.
I don't know who Duke's Stead John.
That's a stew pot.
You're the guy who called Stupot.
I recognize this guy.
Yeah, Richard O'Sullivan,
who's in all those sitcoms like Robbins nested.
He's got a very distinctive face,
does that?
Kermy!
Kirby the frog!
Again!
Owee, Owee, Owee, Owee, Owee, Oe, Oe,
some footballer.
He's got Guy Owee, Oe, Oe, Oee.
Look at the packet on that footballer.
I'm Kirby de Frog, Oe, Oe, Oe,
Yeah, I like it when he said.
I like it as well.
Buck Rogers and the lady from Buck Rogers.
And look, it says it came,
it might not come with now,
but it says it came with Muppet stickers.
Super Muppets,
should we have a look and see if it's inside?
I bet you it's not, no.
But we'll find out.
Because I think we'll go into this at a later date on its own
because I always like going back to looking.
Oh no, it's two issues of looking.
And the other one's got Benny Hill on
and no more Richard O'Sullivan
and then I don't know who that count is.
Do you know who on that one?
He's a man with a face.
Does that help?
No idea.
I don't know.
He's a comedian as well, top TV comedian.
So, no Muppet annual there.
How do you know there's no Muppet stickers?
It's not annual stickers.
It would have been in it and there's nothing in it.
They might fall out.
No, there's nothing.
It's probably been taken out a long time ago.
All right, just check in.
The BG's story, born down under to disco.
And then there's a picture of the BG's.
Oh, that's quite cool, isn't it?
It's all right, isn't it?
I mean, if you like the BG's, it works for me.
Bionic action, comic strip.
The BGs keep coming up as well.
That's a lot, yeah.
Muppet Mania.
And so, yeah, there's loads of stuff.
Because he was singing jive talking, remember?
I got my jive turkey.
Lovely.
We'll go back to those.
Those are beautiful.
Again.
Again, the very first item,
the very first item that came out of this box
was that record that I've already got
the children talking.
And I thought, oh, no.
Is it another one of these boxes of stuff
that we have to sort of go, you know,
oh, that's good.
And when we really are thinking inside,
we've seen this all before.
Yeah, but this is all fucking great.
Most of it, it's great.
Almost all of it, in fact.
Is that for you as well?
Yeah, all the red and white wrapping is for me.
Oh, it's this.
I like this.
This is like Christmas Mouln.
If you know, you know, says the sticker on this little brown envelope.
There's two little brown envelopes in that one.
Oh, it looks like pins.
Oh, it's pins.
I've got this pin, though, but it's a Peter Vankman pin.
Eli, you can have this lovely Peter Vankman pin.
Already on your wall, isn't it?
Yeah, it's on my board over there.
Fucking excellent.
It's the scene where he's about to get slime by slimer,
and he's talking to Ray on the walkie.
they froze and that and it's very accurate
getting the expression and everything very well
it's a very nice pin.
Let's see what the other pin is.
This is from real icons.
Have you got that one as well?
It's the same badge again.
So.
But I'm going to give this to a friend
who would very much appreciate it.
So I've got three versions of this pin
and you can have one
and my friend can have this one
when I finally see them and pull my finger out.
I put that with Layton's pickle minis.
Nice.
I've got one more little brown box.
It's not brown, Paul.
I know.
I don't know why I said brown.
So, your nonsense mouth.
It's so bad.
Oh, what's this?
Olympus Pearl Cordof J500.
It's a little mini camera.
It's not.
It's a little mini dictaphone type thing.
How cool is this?
Oh, I mean, in this day and age, there's no use for them.
Well, maybe we could do an episode on one if we got a tape.
You know what I mean?
Yes.
Didn't we do that already?
Didn't we do that?
No.
Are you sure?
Yeah, mate.
You've definitely discussed that idea.
Yeah.
A little mini tape.
A little box.
Has it got one in it?
Yes.
Yes, mate. It's got a little mini's 60 minute tape in it.
Crazy.
Feel the whiffed of that.
It's nicely made.
That's beautiful.
I love these.
You know how a lot of those are cheapy plastic, but that one's got a nice kind of feel to it?
It's got a good weight to it.
It's got a good weight.
And what's the...
It's called a pearl corder.
Still got the sticker on minting box.
Minut.
Reasonable mint in box.
Has it got batteries in?
I don't know if they've put batteries in.
Well, they'll need...
It'll need fixing.
Oh, yeah.
It's working.
The red lights come on.
That's it?
Oh, testing one.
One, two, three, one, two, three, my name's Paul Gannon.
How'd you rewind it?
There you go.
Oh, yes, it's working.
A lot of it.
Oh, testing, one, two, three, one, two, three, my name's Paul Gannon.
You're playing too fast.
Wait, I'll do it now.
Yeah, that's rewind.
And I got it.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, yeah, it's working.
One, two, three, one, two, three, my name's Paul Gannon.
You sound like your child.
Oh, I love this, anyway.
Well, you can have a problem.
A little.
Testing, one, two, three, my name.
I don't know how this works.
I like it.
It's good.
Let me just double check.
Why I open something now?
Well, you can open, you can show this off because unfortunately I have this already.
We had it on an episode of Cheap Show a while ago and they haven't gotten there yet.
Wow.
But this is also going to go to the same friend who's going to get that badge.
Really?
Yeah.
It's Ecto 1 and it transforms into a robot called Ectotron.
And it's just up there by my firehouse, Eli, if you want to look behind you on this corner of the firehouse, he's all standing up.
Well, this is lovely.
There he is.
He looks in Congress, but now that makes sense.
Because he's a robot.
You're not generally a sort of big.
robot guy, are you?
I'm not a huge
Transformers person
but the only
other one I would
love to have
is the one
that's based on
a, you know,
cassette Walkman.
Yeah,
sound scream, is it?
Or sound like.
The actual tape
itself turned into
a little panther
or an eagle.
He had a few.
Yeah, they're great.
I would love that one.
If anyone wants to send me,
right,
so this is,
look, this is minting box as well
and this is for the
beautiful condition.
20, 24 anniversary
of Ghostbusters
and Transformers or something.
I think they both
I don't know what the details are.
Absolutely.
Again,
a little translucent.
Slimer in there as well. That's not cheap as well.
These are really expensive. Gip Gubbins.
And I'm going to make sure these go to
perfectly warm homes. Loving
warm homes. So thank you, Joe.
All this stuff is fucking excellent.
Yeah, it really is. Now, I think we're getting into
the last item. I can't
have you touch this until I've checked everything else.
Okay. Because there's batteries. I see that.
I see the batteries, yeah. And the screwdrivers.
What are these big Cs drives or something?
What are they called?
Drives. They're batteries. Cells.
Cells.
Batteries and screwdrivers fitting for Eli
This is for you, apparently.
If it is for you, I wonder if you'll take it
because you're a horrible, horrible man.
What do you mean I will take it?
I'll make sure this is the last thing in the box.
Why won't I take it?
Because it's big.
So I don't have room in my small room.
I'm just saying, it's big.
Eli, it's the last step at present in the box.
Again, it's the brutalism.
Brutalism.
And look at the size of this.
Wrapping paper.
Now, this is just top best, great.
Okay.
And also, can I just say to Joe,
thank you for the wrapping on this box.
Have you noticed it?
It's all cheap show tape and wrapping.
That was actually...
Fantastic fucking stuff.
Customised cheap show.
From top to bottom, Joe, you've played a blinder with this box
and you've made our Christmas party excellent.
So thank you.
You've lifted my spirits.
Thank you very much.
I love you.
All right.
What have you got in here?
Open it up.
Oh, it's very well put together.
Oh my God, it's a big track.
I so wanted one of these.
always.
I've got one.
Have you already?
No, I've got one now.
I was going to say you've got one now.
I'm holding it now.
And it's an original one.
It's not like a modern one that they've repackaged.
I think it's an original.
How's you program it?
Is it?
Well, that's what the button's on the back do.
We'll turn it on.
Can you pull the box?
Look at that.
It might not be an original.
I don't know.
I thought it was an original tomey,
but it doesn't say Tomey on it.
Look at this.
Was Tomey the manufacturer?
I'm not sure it, if I'm being honest
No, it's not a tommy thing
But look at that mate
Oh
Look at that beautiful Big Track
Now if you don't know what Big Track
It is a 1980s toy
Which is basically like a kind of plastic robot
Tank that you could program
To move around by typing in a code
Get stuff for you
Yeah you can type it in and it moves around the floor
Because you program it to move up forward left right
You have to unscrew these
Yeah I'm going to do it now
This is Big Track
The Computer Activated Truck from it
MB Electronics. Program in up to 16 commands and Big Track will advance, turn and fire three blasts.
Big Track follows its instructions and can manoeuvre around every obstacle to complete its mission.
Program it and Big Track obeys. Well done, Big Track. Big Track from MB Electronics.
So that is our grand finale Prezi, the Big Tracks. What a fucking wicked thing. What does it say on here?
For Eli, a programmable electric toy vehicle for Milton Bradley, originally, released in
1979, re-released in 2010. So maybe this isn't 2010 this one.
Maybe it's been very good Nick, so...
A futuristic sci-fi tank that remembers up to 16 commands and executes them in sequence.
Eli noticed his fondness for this toy back in Cheap Show's single-digit days.
Was intended to be an Aerobees until the Aerobees video released in May 2025 and then
realized Eli had loads, so didn't send you.
you want. Hopefully, Eli, doesn't also
secretly have a cupboard full of these. I do not.
It has been tested and works.
Separate pack with batteries and
screwdriver, which is what we've got
here. Have you opened it yet?
Almost. Can you open this up? It's like watching
my granddad do it. Do you get the screws
out yet? No, this screw won't come out. Come on.
I'm doing it. Put it in. Time is
wasted. We have to go home.
We have to come home. We have to go
home. Come on and I'm very
drunk. And this room's spinning. Why are you so drunk?
I've had other drinks for a while you've not been looking.
I've been drinking stuff of that and things.
Have you?
You said we weren't going to do that this time?
A lot of things, mate.
Got one more bottle of booze for us to come in in a minute.
I've got to get Jarvis in.
Come in?
Yeah, Jarvis will bring it in a minute.
Yeah, that'll do.
Is there instructions with this?
No, I don't think there are.
I don't think there are, unfortunately.
Right, if I remember when this turns on, it goes, bleep, bleep, blah, blet, blet, blet,
ready?
Let me, let me, let me.
You want to do it.
Yes.
Go on, I think it's that red switch there.
Oh, dear.
He said, it's been tested.
So the batteries are incorrect.
Did you put them in in correctly?
No, they're in the right way.
Are you sure?
Are you sure?
Yeah.
I don't think you put them in, right.
No, unless they've popped out as I put the lid back on.
I think that's what may have happened.
Or you may have just put them in the right way because they only go in one orientation.
Right.
You got the wrong way around.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, I don't.
You don't put it that way.
You don't put it that way in.
Are you a child?
Are you a stupid child?
They always go in that way.
Try it.
Try it the other way.
You don't put it.
the nubbing against the spring. The spring
goes against the flat bit because that's what it has to
rest upon. Because the nublet actually makes
contact with the connector in there, which
charges the power. I know what you're saying, but try it. Just try it
for me. No, because that doesn't work like that. No
battery has ever worked like that.
I've put it in the wrong way around now, so...
What do you mean you put it in the wrong way? I tried it
that one. Well, that just proves it doesn't
fucking work then. That one. So that just
proves my theory then. Doesn't it?
Yeah, but now you took...
No, they're both in the right way.
Okay.
Yep.
Eat.
Give me a sound's coming out of it.
Program.
Hey.
I don't know how it works.
Just jab at it and make the wheels go round.
Go and jab at it until the wheels work.
Keep dab, bib, bib, bib.
But I don't know what, I don't think we've put a direction for it to go in.
So forward, put a number in, eight, and then, I don't know, enter and then go.
Enter.
I don't know how it works.
Oh, hey!
Yes!
Yes!
Yes!
Hey!
Oh, it's crashed into the couch.
Hey!
We got it working.
Well done.
I haven't got room for it.
I know you're going to say that.
I really don't, though.
I do.
You're going to have to have it because it's been made for you,
specifically for you,
and you're going to take it home as your Christmas gift.
and I can't wait for you to
go and put it in your living room
and make it go around the art carpet
and make it go around the world
and take an apple to Rogan
or something like that
I'll have to look up the actual instructions
to make it go do stuff
I love this thing
this is fucking beautiful
look at this beautiful fucking thing
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas Eli
There's a present for you
Is this where you hold it holds the apple
No I don't know what that is
In the advert it went and got someone
It used to be on a little truck you put on the back
A little uh
mate
I'm tired now
Should we wrap this
party up.
Wrap this party up.
You completely stopped functioning as a speaking human about 20 minutes ago.
Completely.
I know.
All right.
Can you admit it?
You talk shit.
You talk a lot of shit.
You've had a long day.
You talk a lot of terrible shit.
You said you wouldn't criticize me for Christmas.
Did I?
Yes, at the very beginning.
I said that was a greatest Christmas gift you'd ever give me.
I would lie.
I know.
Eli lies.
Rule number one.
Eli lies.
Eli lies.
It's in the name.
Isn't it?
Eli.
Eli's.
right I'm going to get
Jarvis to come in and give us our last drink
I want to have a bottle of champagne to celebrate
at the end of the end of the
It's not champagne
It's a fizzy wine
All right
We're going to have a glass of fizzy wine to celebrate
I'm such a snobstice
I'm going to get him
Jarvis
Come in Jarvis
Was there Jambon
Who was your wife?
Your drink, sir.
Oh yeah, thank you, Jarvis.
Thank you very much.
Put the bottle down there.
No, can you open it?
Open it, you oh, fuck.
Open it, you fuck.
Oh, cunt.
Come on, open it for us.

Is that the wine or something?
No.
No, that would be the drugs, sir.

I figured it out just now, Pope.
I know, I've just figured it.
I've got it now.
I break in.
I used rocournium, sir.
It is an immediate to long acting drug
used for mostly longer surgical procedures
or to keep patients on medical ventilators,
for example.
However, for you too,
it will keep you incapacitated for long enough
for me to take all your lovely presents.
Oh no, not that's right.
and your booze and smash this shit hole up.
Don't take my to-mey thing.
Don't take it.
I'm sorry, Jarvis.
Jarvis.
You shouldn't have called him I can.
Jarvis, help me.
Fuck you, sir.
Jarvis, sir.
Oh, Merry Christmas here.
