Starting point is 00:00:00 Two things. One is, I'm on illegal drugs. I'm on illegal drugs. Hey, ho, Adereo. I'm on illegal drugs. This for the people listening at home means he's really sniffing some stuff
Starting point is 00:00:13 that shouldn't be sold in the UK. Benadrex, baby. Now, what if the police are listened to this? And they go, we're cracking down on Benadrex. No, they wouldn't. And you've now just revealed your hand. And we're going to get, excuse me, sir, et cetera, bend over.

Starting point is 00:00:34 I saw a police incident the other day. Right. I was walking past some police. Yeah. And one of them looked literally 12 years old. And then they ran off. And outside dirty dicks, you know dirty dicks. I know dirty dicks.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Outside dirty dicks. Dirty dicks is a club bar. There was glass, like a smashed beer glass with blood dripping all. And there was about eight policemen in the middle of fucking Bishopsgate on the road. Deer. Putting someone on the ground who'd obviously just glassed. someone right in front of, it's right in front of the massive police station there as well. Do you know that?

Starting point is 00:01:16 Good. Oh, that was a, that was a second anecdote. By the way, the first thing was an anecdote or more of a statement though. What do you mean? He said two things. One, I'm on illegal drugs. So that's a statement. There's no question mark at the end of that.
Starting point is 00:01:27 I might overdose on Ben. It said he wasn't long enough. for an anecdote. Benel Drex, baby. It's based on speed. And this is the only legal way you can sell this stuff. Is it in America? No, it is in an inhaler form. Right. So why can't you get it in this country? Because it's got speed in. Yeah. Right. Abusable. But you're saying that as if it's like giving you the same. It's very good. It's for hay fever and stuff. Yeah, I'm saying. That's the application. So I'm well within my rights to be using it now. It's a medicine. Okay. I just was going, I was just being flippant. And I said, it's illegal jokes. I was just trying to
Starting point is 00:01:58 open the cold open. Did I get it? there have I managed it? Have I done the cold open enough? A anecdote too. A little mega man there. Little mega me. Yeah that's right. Make Eli great again, man. Oh man. I had some cap on last night and a colourblind friend of mine was like, eh, Marga. I know. It's not the same colour. Anyway.

Starting point is 00:06:48 And I know there's the fucking busy Where's me gyro Etcetera Oh god Sorry American viewers Nah Oh, the heat has got to me now The heat is on
Starting point is 00:06:59 Ba da da da da da da da da da ba da da da da Bo bada da da da Who sung that Who sung that? Who sung that? Frey Brian
Starting point is 00:07:08 Brian, no it's not Brian Brian Fri Tina Frey Tina Fray The heat is is our Richard. Chris Frey is.
Starting point is 00:07:15 David Frey. David Fry? Frey. It is Frey. It's F-R-E-Y. Oh yeah, David Frye. Is it? The E-E-I-L-E-I-G.
Starting point is 00:07:24 This is, I hope you're enjoying this, everybody. Welcome to doddery old men, remember. Haven't you got more housework you need to lay down? Yeah, in a minute. No rush, baby. Chill. No rush, there is. Chill baby cakes.
Starting point is 00:07:33 I put the eating on for you as I've got it right. Toadena. The heat is on. The heat is on. Glenn. Glenn Frey. Glenn Frey. Right.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Right. He did arm. Who was the guy who did... No, can we not? Because I've just put my phone down. He's a similar name to the St. Elmo's Fire guy who did the Gillette song as well. The best the man can get. Yeah, and he did a...
Starting point is 00:07:55 Isn't he called Frey, that guy? No, he's not. Yellow in the Mountain, Mountain at a hundred times. I can feel a loo around insane Elmo's fire. Interesting fact. If you're interested about that song, it's not entirely made for the film. St. Elmo's Flight was originally written to talk. about the man who went around the world in a wheelchair
Starting point is 00:08:15 and it was written about him. It's in the Todd Nishadows video. What man? There was a man who went around the world in a wheelchair to raise money for charity and so the song was originally about his plight and then he went, do you want to change that? And put it on the beginning of this film.
Starting point is 00:08:26 But they actually changed the words. Not that much. They put the words St. Elmo's Fire in. Yeah, in the chorus. Yeah, that was the major, major change, I think, to that song. And then they just stuck it on that mediocre. Michael Macchina.
Starting point is 00:08:37 It's something like that. Michael, Mike, oh, doddry old. Welcome to doddery old men pod. So, housework. Cheap Show 500 is coming. Just a few scant weeks away. Get your tickets. We're working on the live stream
Starting point is 00:08:49 if you're international listeners and you want to watch live. We're working on that. But the information to that will be real close to the live show performance. So the CheapShall.com. That's where you can go to or go to the Cambridge Junction website
Starting point is 00:09:00 and get your tickets there. Oh, they're lovely. And also, you will get now. And they came in the post last week. And I'm going to put a picture online but probably before this episode goes out to show that the badges have arrived. The new cheap show 500 pin badge exclusively live show only badges.
Starting point is 00:09:16 It is a beauty, Paul. Isn't it? Designed by Vodotony, as has all of our pins. And this has some lovely details. Lovely bit of detail. Matt. I think it's like a matte enamel because it's not shiny. And that means you can see it clearer because a lot of these detailed pins have that too, it's too metallic and shiny.
Starting point is 00:09:36 And then you can't make out the detail. You can't. It's just like this one appear the little chubber horrors one I've got. Look at that. So you can make no detail out of that. But ours doesn't suffer from that. No, it pops. Because it's like a matte finish.
Starting point is 00:09:46 It really pops. It's lovely. Just so people know, it is the logo for 500, which Vora Tony did for us, which is the 500 with our faces in the coffee rings. And we've put it on a little stamp shape. So it looks like a little stamp. It's the largest pin that we've produced so far. I don't know if that's true.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I don't even look at the one, the other one above that. Similar size overall, I guess. I think the smallest one is me and you in the noodle bowl. No, the smallest one is the one. Do you remember there's just the word cheap show, just the world. That's quite big. Oh yeah. That's quite big that one.
Starting point is 00:10:14 Anyway, mainly I've got a big one, and we want to give it to you at the live show. Yes, they will be exclusively available at the live show on the 23rd of August. 5 quid of pop. 23rd of August.
Starting point is 00:10:24 Which is bloody reasonable. Cambridge Junction venue. It's going to be a very fun show. Paul Putner, Nick Helm, Stuart Ashen, no Ash Frith. Fuck him. And Louis King will be there. And a few surprises and all.
Starting point is 00:10:39 Join us for what will be a big show. Shue. He's doing his glasses everywhere. Also, mate. Yes? What? So the last few episodes have been like a bit special. I went to Thorpe Park.
Starting point is 00:10:49 We had a little day out there because I needed a fucking break. And then obviously last week's was Marcus Park. We've got a lot of walkabout to stuff. But during that time, all these fucking messages have come through to me. I'm not going to play all of them now because they all come from different numbers. And they're all like burner phones or fucking something. Because when I try and reply, it just says no number or whatever. Let's listen to this.
Starting point is 00:11:08 Hang on. acid. So there's that one. Right, I got that a few, about a week and a bit ago. Then there's this one. I'm going to put a spike up with your head when you're asleep and then make you jump by going to go when you're asleep and then you're going to sit up fast and the spot's going to go on your brains. Why would you send someone stuff like that though? It's just someone messing about them. Yeah, but why is it to my fucking number? You obviously knows about me. You're not getting any of this. No, he said you two, didn't he?
Starting point is 00:11:36 Yeah, oh, that's good to know then. So I'm getting the death threats on behalf of us. I don't know. It's weird, isn't it? It has to be something to do of cheap show. Anyway, there's another one here. I'm going to put some sort of snake and you're toilet bowls when you sit down and it's going to bite you on the bum hole.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Then you'll be dead. Don't like that. No, I don't like that. I've been getting that a lot recently. Snakes, snakes are biting the bum hole. Yeah, and text messages saying, do 500, you be dead. All I know is whoever is leaving these messages
Starting point is 00:12:03 is like mentally deficient and probably like low education. You know what I mean? Probably like a scumbag and low education. You don't know what's behind it, Paul. It's just, you don't want to... I phone the police. Can't do anything about it until something happens.
Starting point is 00:12:15 Of course they can't. They can't. It's not. I mean, they're... All I'm saying is, it's unnerving. It is, yeah. I'm sorry that you had to... Anyway, I'm unnerved, Paul.
Starting point is 00:12:23 If anyone can help, please contact the podcast, if you think you have any leads on this because it's getting a bit too much for me and I don't like the threats. Like, threatening if you do 500, we're going to die. How fucking... Anyway.
Starting point is 00:12:36 Anyway. If you do a podcast then... I don't know. You've ruined my mood with all that. I can't help. But can I, when someone send you death threats, like snakes on bottoms and spikes in edds. Spikes in Edds and snakes in bottoms. It's almost like one of those hammer-type deaths, you know, like Mr. Fibes or Theatre of Blood type nonsense.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Neither of those were Hammer films. I'm sorry. No, you're right. Sorry, right. One was, was, no, Fife. Dracula, AD 72. Yeah, that's Hammer. Do you know how he gets it in there?
Starting point is 00:13:04 That is Hammer. You said like, Hammer Horror. Yeah, but then I went and quoted two films that weren't Hammer Horror. Yes, Theatre of Blood. more about what I was thinking about. Theatre of Blood was AIP or whatever, wasn't it? No, I believe. International American Pictures or something.
Starting point is 00:13:16 I think so. So what was Dr. Fives? I thought that was an amicus. Dr. Fives is amicus, I think. Oh, okay, no, fair enough. There's a sequel. They're quite fun as well. Yeah, they're both full films.
Starting point is 00:13:25 I mean, that and Theatre of Blood are all basically the same film. What was that one you mentioned to me the other day? Madhouse. I want to see that so badly. That's a great one. That's not that easy to get hold of. It's like almost scream before scream Madhouse. Yeah, I've got to see that.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Anyway, it's, they've cheered you up now a little bit of horror film, talking a bit of popcorn. That's how Gannon greases Eli's wheels. You don't grease my wheels. You never will. Oils your pipe. You don't fucking oil my pipe, mate. I would love to oil your pipe. You never will have the opportunity.
Starting point is 00:13:50 Please let me orally oil your pipe. Tasty business. It's time for have a bit of fun in our soda jerking. Let's get busy. Let's start a working. Fizzy little drinks going in our throat. Come on, baby, and get on the boat. I suck a goat off.
Starting point is 00:14:12 Okay, so that's not necessarily. No, that's what everyone's here for, especially our new American listeners. I, fillet a goat. I, fellator goat so hard, it's waxy cock. Nastiness goes up my nose. Oh, look, Eli's written a new operat called Falator Ghost. It's Rent a Ghost. Rent a goat. Rent a goat for later goat.
Starting point is 00:14:35 They're probably on the list of when they were pitching those TV shows. It's like, yeah, we didn't like the few of them, but like rent a goat was good. Well, really, I had my heart set on. Filator goat. Yeah, but it's just not going to work for the eight to 12 year old demographic. Pilates goat. Oh, no. Pilates, no.
Starting point is 00:14:52 I've realised we've worn out the humour, so let's move on. Don't try and engage mind-mouth nonsense. Just let it be, let it come. No, what you're really saying is let me get away with fucking murder. Let me get away with murder. That's what everyone wants. Where's my leeway? then?
Starting point is 00:15:10 Paul. Hey, where's my leeway? Paul. Where's my... Come on, you get leeway. Where's my leverage? You go into a song every other bloody word. You mean like this one?
Starting point is 00:15:18 Well, it's time to drink. And drink until we're pink. We're got to get them out the glass. We're going to put them up our ass. We don't know what we're going to do. But we're going to have some fun. Have some drinky time. Come on, get some drinky time.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Thank you. A little bit of disco. There's your leeway. Now, before we get onto these drinks, Paul. we do need a little source report update. All right, quick. Just to let people know. Quick.
Starting point is 00:15:42 I don't know if everyone's noted. Source report. Thank you very much. Micro source report. Thank you and welcome to this micro source report. I'm just really thirsty. So I was like, we get to the drinks quicker. Now this is a barrier to that.
Starting point is 00:15:54 All right, go. Don't try and subvert my microsource report. Just do it again from the beginning. It's going to be 30 seconds. I'll count in my head. Do do do do do do do. Micro source report. That wasn't clear.
Starting point is 00:16:06 You've flusted. Because I was going to say nude. Blitz or something then. I got confused. Let's do it again. Do do do do do. Micro Source report. Thank you. Hello and welcome to this microsource report. I'm Eli Silverman. With me in the studio is source assistant reporter.
Starting point is 00:16:23 Paul Gannon, thank you. Number five. Then, hey. This is the background kind of throbbing news report. Now, people in London have been waking up to the news that McDonald's has entered what looks to be the first volleys or the first roll of volleys in a war of sauces going on in the high-end fast food restaurants of London.
Starting point is 00:16:48 People will have noticed that about a month ago, KFC introduced like nine new sauces on top of their supercharger basics. Basically before they had the supercharger, which is a spicy mayo, and they had the garlic mayo, buttermilk garlic one. And basically that was it.
Starting point is 00:17:05 And they had some piss-poor standard ones. But they launched nine dippers. years ago about a month ago McDonald's today our reporter noticed McDonald's have four new dipping sauces in direct
Starting point is 00:17:22 competition and here on the source report we will be getting all of those sources and tasting them and seeing who's going to win this battle of the sources everyone we're all here with bated breath on tenter hooks with baited breath
Starting point is 00:17:37 whoa whoa Tommy used to work on a dark. Shut up. Union's been on strike. He's down on his luck. It's dove. It's tough.
Starting point is 00:17:49 Whoa, whoa. There you go. A bit of Bon Jovi there for you at the end. Right, what are we doing? Basically, to summarise that, there's lots of new sources come in, everyone. Before we get into that, did you get the message? What message?
Starting point is 00:18:01 From a juicy. Yeah. He said, he told me, he sent you a text. I don't know why he didn't text me directly, but he said he left you a voice message. message. It's just a bit... Go on.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Because he left that outside my door, that bag of drinks. A bag of drinks is left. You know what I mean? That's the setup. That's the conceit for this. All right, let's just listen to it then.
Starting point is 00:18:19 And he sent you a message. Yeah, it's here. Should we just listen? Yeah, go on. Oh, oh, boys. It's so juicy here. Hi. It's cold.
Starting point is 00:18:29 It's cold where I am. Anyway, I think I got the air sea turned up too high in the jallopy. Oh, that's better. Oh, it's quite warm. You know, so I can... edit this is legal.
Starting point is 00:18:48 Okay, I hope you got my drinks, boys, just to let you know. The whole juice, he's doing okay. The day's quite long. I'm down by the river Brent. People pull their trash on the jalopy at night. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the sodies. It was my last penny on those sodies, so please do give me the scores. I'll let you know where I am.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Oh, yeah. One last. If you guys are interested, there seems to be some kind of big thing happening in the content house. Sometimes I drive up there and I look through the windows, but they got blackout curtains. I'll try to peek through, but someone told me, I'm not going to let you know who, but someone told me there's going to be a big event in the content house coming up. Something that you should use the code I gave you and listen in. Oh, anyway, I got to go.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Oh, they're throwing the... I thought that's pretty good. Shut up. Oh, I don't know what's going on there. That's what I mean, though, Paul. It's kind of sad now. It is for him. He hasn't got the void Joy de Vra he used to have.
Starting point is 00:20:07 It's all gone. You know what I mean? Yeah, there's nothing juicy about that. That content house experience fucked him up. Yeah, I still can't get in. I'm going to... You know what? I'm going to try and use that code he gave me.
Starting point is 00:20:16 Yeah, we got a... Because I want to know what's going on. Because I'm still getting bills about internet fees. I was like, this is not the right address. Why are you billing me for that? Your service. I understand. I understand.
Starting point is 00:20:26 I understand. I should look into what's going on before I get the law involved. Anyway, here's the drinks. Okay, Paul. Two drinks here. All right, darling.
Starting point is 00:20:34 One of them amuses me, but it's probably something we've tasted very similar to before. But to me, this is an amusing name. Right. Do you want me to read it or are you going to present it to you?
Starting point is 00:20:45 He's going to present it to me to kind of a fusty old little clear bottle by a company called opener. It's opener. Let's celebrate. That makes it. fucking sense.
Starting point is 00:20:55 Right, and it's called... Opener. Oh, that is the joke. That's the joke, yes. Ginger soda. Yeah. This pack contains, then a bunch of numbers
Starting point is 00:21:03 in K-cals. So it doesn't actually contain anything. Right. Company's called opener. Like, appetizer. The drink is called opener. That's what I'm saying. It's suggesting like this is the appetizer
Starting point is 00:21:13 or your... No. As in the opening thing. Yeah, like a drink you start the night with kind of thing. That's not the way I interpreted it. Oh, go on. I thought they're like... Snatchy bastards.
Starting point is 00:21:22 I thought you were handing it to me. No, I was still investing. getting it for content. Okay. This is what you're talking about in content. Since 1923, this company's been going called Ha Juzzi. That's cool, isn't it? Hadjuzi.
Starting point is 00:21:35 Indian, I think. I'm going to presume so, yeah. I can't quite see from the Socio-Hajor Beverageers Limited Company in India. Yeah, there you go. I didn't take it. It could be like, oh, it's the aperitif. It's the over there. Yeah, that's what I thought it was suggesting.
Starting point is 00:21:50 It could also be like you're referring to the actual bottle. it's an opener because we want to open them because they're so good to drink. Do you see what I mean? They're openers. My also pan... Give me one of those opening. Like, you know, you twist a... Is it a twist cap?
Starting point is 00:22:05 No, but you twist a beer. I was going to say maybe they thought opener was like the type of bottle cap it was. It's like I'm trying to think of a different thing where you'd refer to what you do to the thing as the noun for the thing. Do you see what I mean? Wanking. No, you can't just say that. Oh, do I just did, though?
Starting point is 00:22:20 You need to engage in the concert. You can say, oh, I filate a goat. but I can't say the word wank How about that? I'm talking about the context, Paul. I'm talking about the context. And the context is, wank. Is that having a wank?
Starting point is 00:22:33 Oh yeah, that is a noun and a verb. Wank. Thank you. Thank you. So. It's not exactly the same. No, I didn't say it was. Do you understand the way I'm interpreting it?
Starting point is 00:22:47 An opener as in a ring puller. I'll tell you what from that one. When I go for a wang, I'm going to call it an opener. I'm just going to go for a quick opener. You know what I mean? Now, this could be quite nice. This has got a lot of tape around the top. But it's sweet.
Starting point is 00:22:58 It might be sweet and very spicy, right? Well, it's ginger beer, I imagine. Yeah, but no, it's going to be their take on ginger beer. And it's not described as... Read it again. What's it called? Ginger soda. Okay, so that is different.
Starting point is 00:23:08 Yes, because, you know, people get all up in arms about the difference between... All up in them. About difference between ginger ale and ginger beer. They're two different drinks. What is the difference? Ginger beer... Have we spoken about this before? Yes, it's not easy to resolve.
Starting point is 00:23:22 But ginger beer, I believe. is like what you get in Jamaica and is strong. Right. It's a strong ginger drink, whereas ginger ale comes from Canada. Is Canada Dryy is the original one? Well, let me just read this based on a search engine. Ginger beer is a fermented brood drink featuring a spicy and tense ginger flavor and a cloudy appearance.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Ginger Ale is simply carbonated water mixed with ginger syrup for extract, which is sweeter, milder and usually more... Like Canada Dry. Yeah. And that is... Like a difference between scrumpy and cider. Yeah, it's weird. Yeah, it's weird.
Starting point is 00:23:53 but they are totally different things and that's why I believe this might be again another thing because they're not describing it as either of those. No. Do you see what I mean? But ginger ale like Canada Dry is the most famous one. It is, yeah. That has its purposes as a drink mixer.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Yeah, of course. That could be nice. Nice with a bit of rum. Yes. Nice with a bit of rum, but so is ginger beer in a different way. Yeah. Look at for a stronger.
Starting point is 00:24:12 Do you see what I mean? It all depends on what you want as a lasting pallety kind of thing, I think. Yes. I think using ginger ale with rum is more refreshing a drink than using beer. But beer as a can, the beer version is kind of a whole. a take on. What is it called? A rusty screwdriver or something?
Starting point is 00:24:25 A rusty nail. Chocolate starfish. What's it called? A rusty nail? A rusty trombone. It's a rusty nail. Oh, dark and stormy has it in. Yeah, maybe. But that has cola in, right? Dark and Stormy. Yeah. I can't remember. Anyway, we're off our cocaine game. Cocktail game. We're off our cocktail game. You're off your cocaine game. I'm off my cocktail.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Cock cock. Cock. That's not going to a cock loop. Paul. Cock. What are you, what are your opinions on ginger as a flavor? I like ginger, but I've got to be in a particular. mood for it, especially when it comes to ginger ale and drinks. Now, because it's a hot day, it's weird how ginger ale also fills that gap, but also is not the kind of thing I'd like to drink on a day like this. It's confusing. That's why I've got ice.
Starting point is 00:25:03 That's what I was going to say about. It's melting. I'm going to hurry up. But what I want to say about ginger is, you talk about things being spicy. Yeah. And usually you mean chili heat, right? Yeah. But ginger is its own whole other type of spicy, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:25:15 It's closer to a musterty kind of thing. Yes. Than it is chilly. But it's sort of in between, isn't it? It has a heat. Yeah? Isn't that weird? But it's not mustard.
Starting point is 00:25:24 It's not mustard spice exactly, is it? Of course it's not. But I just think you like biscuits when I think of ginger more than anything else. Yes. Ginger bread. Yeah, you get a Christmas spice. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Oh, it's got a lovely, lovely strip. Can I have a hoof before you pour it? It's almost like half lemonade, half ginger coming off that for me. Oh. Do you know what I mean? See, this is the kind of ginger drink I like, actually. Well, it might be really strong. Good.
Starting point is 00:25:45 What I find with Indian soft drinks, are they too salty? Have that salty and masala sort of salty. Which is, you know, perfect. fine, but not for me. But not for me. And I'm hoping they don't put a high saltiness in this as well. I, yeah, I guess. We'll see. It has a toilet cleaner thing on the nose, doesn't it? A little bit, but in a way that it really reminds me of like school days, ginger drinks, camping. I don't know, it's weird. You know, like, Boy Scouts. Oh, that's very much a ginger ale. That's very much a ginger ale. Mild, kind of watery. It's still got a little bit of heat to it. It's got some ginger heat to it. It's got a tiny bit of, like, salini note to it.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Are you getting that? Only a tiny bit, but there's a slightly salt, watery note to it. Yes, but it's subtler than other ones have had. That's what I'm saying, it's subtle. That's actually quite nice. That's actually quite nice. With the ice. I like that.
Starting point is 00:26:35 I like that. It's like a spicier, less sweet kind of to dry. Yeah. It's closer to a ginger ale than a ginger beer, though. But it's sort of got elements of both. Yeah, it's more of a mixer drink flavor profile than a ginger ale. Than a ginger beer. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:49 Yeah. I mean, I'm not one to buy a little. of ginger drinks anyway, but for what it is, yeah, top marks. I'm going to go 3.7. I will meet you there, shake your hand, and then turn away. No, actual touching whilst we record. No, of course not.
Starting point is 00:27:03 Let me touch you. No. Also in this bag. Vimtoe have gone and done it again, Paul. They've gone and done it again. They've coming out with new special edition. New special edition Vimto. When's it enough for you, Vimto? And it occurred to me, Paul.
Starting point is 00:27:18 Yeah. When I was preparing this drink for this segment today. Vimto is like the steampunk alternate universe of soft drinks because... But I get that with Tyser. Tyser is like a liminal drink for me. It's like a liminal space drink. Let me explain my...
Starting point is 00:27:33 Yes. Please do. But Tyser, yes, is a hauntological weird remnant drink. I mean, what even is Tizer? It's basically a champagne cola. I don't want to get into this, but that is what it is. Have we done Tizer on the show? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Have we? I'm old. It's been 11 years, mate. Anyway, when I say... What the fuck? That Vimto gives me a weird steampunky Mandela Effect alternate universe if the technology is on a different way kind of vibe is because it was invented, they say on it, in 1908.
Starting point is 00:28:02 So it's almost as old as things like Coca-Cola and stuff as a brand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's a legacy brand, almost. It's a legacy brand. And it is almost like if cola hadn't been the dominant soda type and Vimto like a sort of cordial type, a different thing. Well, that's the thing that if VIMTO is a cordial more than anything else, right? It was originally a blackberry mixer. But now it's become a soda, soft drink.
Starting point is 00:28:26 Well, it's become just one of those every brands where you can slap it on marshmallows. Oh, they do that a bit. Aerosol and room fresheners and chewing gum. They do that bit, but they've also very much, very much diversified their offering in terms of the drinks. And a lot of those I've been impressed with, they've got energy drink. Candy, erasers, pencil cases. See, unlike a Coca-Cola. Pim badges. I know there's a Vimto board game. I think it was a Vintto. Is there? I think it was Vinto. Dough Cludeau or something. Okay, it's just a skin. Someone stole the blackbreed. It's just a skin.
Starting point is 00:28:54 It's just a skin. But in terms of the drinks, they've diversified hugely in the recent years. I think both mainly because of it, their popularity in the Arab world. Why is this cool fan? And it's used...
Starting point is 00:29:05 Why is this called fans edition? In the Islamic world, they use it to celebrate things. It's like a tradition. Yeah, you've mentioned that before. In a similar way that KFC is eaten in Japan on Christmas Day. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:16 I think you have said that before, but yeah, cool. Yeah, I'm just covering that again. If that learns it from you. I'm covering it again. But they've been doing all sorts of different things in recent years. But the difference from them and a company like Coca-Cola, Paul, I want to make this point. I just want to make this point.
Starting point is 00:29:28 I'm zoning. Please listen to this point. Zoning, zoning. Think about it. Coca-Cola. Yeah. They don't have a still version of cola Coca-Cola. No, because it wouldn't work.
Starting point is 00:29:36 They don't have all different flavor. They have all different flavor, but they never go still. No. Right? The closest you get is when you get like one of those seltzer machines and you get a syrup cola for it. And that's what makes it. Well, they own, Coca-Cola own other brands. that are still such as Oasis and things like that.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Yeah. But Vimto, it's... Snapple, it's... Snapple now. But Vimto, it's interesting to me that they do a fizy one, they do a thingy one, it's all Vimt's...
Starting point is 00:30:01 Anyway, I love... They had a special edition that was out last year, whatever, the Leitchie one. Special edition was fucking great. I love that one. It's hard to get. But imagine my glorious elation
Starting point is 00:30:12 when I noticed two new special edition Vimtos. But they're not called special editions, these. Paul, these are called fans edition. I know. I know. And I was saying,
Starting point is 00:30:22 why is it called Fans Edition? Did the fans come up with this? Created with our fans on Instagram at Vimto. So they said, here are our
Starting point is 00:30:31 pre-decided three flavors. You pick one will put it into process. Man, don't fight against the Vimto love, man. I'm not fighting against it. I'm feeling Vimto love here.
Starting point is 00:30:40 You know what's offsetting? Offsetting? Upsetting. So I got wind. Is when I look at Vimto and the brand is primarily a purple brand. And I look at that and see the orange
Starting point is 00:30:50 or whatever. They go everywhere. They've got all different fruit variations. Fuck off. But they do. Fuck off. That's where, what I mean. Fuck off.
Starting point is 00:30:57 They achieve a sort of flavor of Vimtoe across all their different ones better than Coke even does. Sorry. Fuck off. Why are you telling me to fuck off now? I'm telling Vimto to fuck off. It's like, just colour it purple. No.
Starting point is 00:31:10 That's the fun part. It's not Vimto if it's not purple. Anyway. I'm sorry if you don't like my views on this. It's just you're just wrong. You're just plain wrong. Orange and papaya. It is orange and papaya and it's called.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Sunset, this is where they've fallen down for me. See, where's the black current? There isn't any. But then it's not Vimpto. No, that's not true. It is. Black current isn't even one of the flavors in original Vimtoe.
Starting point is 00:31:29 You know nothing. So if they were in it's a Coca-Cola, that had no Coca-Cola and it was just like lemon and fucking apricot. But I said Coca-Cola on it. This is what I've been trying to tell you, Paul. The achievement that Vimpto has is even across. There is a flavor characteristic that they managed to put in all of these different things. Well, come on then.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Show us it. Well, you've been rambling on. You had the special edition. rambling on. Didn't you think they tasted a Vimto? No, I didn't.
Starting point is 00:31:52 I think I said at the time it didn't. You're just plain wrong. I'm not. I'm saying I disagree with Vich by Vimto. This is a fizy one baby. This is a fizzy one.
Starting point is 00:31:59 This makes the name Vimto. Pointless. You're just so, no, it's, it tastes a Vimto. Just stop it. Fake Walker. Now this one is called
Starting point is 00:32:08 It's a, Fans Edition, and this is sunset and this is where they fall down for me. It's called sunset papaya dice, as in Paradise.
Starting point is 00:32:17 Papiadice. Does that work for you, Paul? Vimto's not in your book of brands You know what? It fucking isn't at all I thought you know Is Vimto in this? No Walls
Starting point is 00:32:24 They're bigger than they've ever been Winnings walls Waterman Windsor and Newton Wisdom Wrigley's Aren't they all for the late late 1800s
Starting point is 00:32:34 No not all of them Pyrex isn't Here have a smell of that And tell me it doesn't smell like Vimto Even though it's a papaya I'm gonna make my decision Yeah it does Thank you so I was right
Starting point is 00:32:43 Thank you You can do What That still tastes way of ginger That ice Put it in the hit, use the pint glass instead. No, that's fine. Now that smells like Vimto, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:32:53 I love these. Yeah, I love these special editions. The thing is, Vinto. I think they're really great. Vimto has a creamy note to it. Yes. You know what I mean? Almost vinalery.
Starting point is 00:33:02 You know what I'm mate? I overreacted. Yeah, you did. Yeah, I know. Sorry, Vimto. I was trying to say, I was trying to talk Sancho. I still don't agree that they should have changed the colour. I think they should have changed the colour.
Starting point is 00:33:10 It's unsettling to drink Vimto and it's orange. It's just a very nice sort of tropical Vimto flavor. Very nice. Not over sweet. Is it giving you the sweetener hebi-jibis? There is a sweeter note, which, you know, blah, blah, blah. But it's not overwhelming. I'm just not...
Starting point is 00:33:27 I'd rather have a normal Vimto, honestly. Yeah, I think I would as well. They're not all... This isn't my favourite. I just think it's pretty good. Because this feels more like weak passion fruit flavour. Yeah, or like a Rubicon. It's sort of in that realm, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:33:40 Yeah. But Rubicon have a rounder flavour profile I tend to find. And it smells more like Vimto than tastes, I think, as well. So it's fine. I like it a lot. I just think they're geniuses. And I put 275 down for that. I'm going to go 3.5.
Starting point is 00:33:55 Well, not a contentious one for sure. They had another one. I can't remember what it was and I drank it the other day. Was that good? Yeah. Was it purple? It was very similar. No, it was another different type of orange.
Starting point is 00:34:05 Apple and duck. No. Was it? Apricot and banana. Pineapple and melon. We can go on it. I'm going to join their Instagram. I'm going to go on Vimtoe.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Likee and egg. That's £1.25, which is quite a good. In terms of the pricing It hasn't won me over But it's not resulting Resolting Resolting It's not revolting
Starting point is 00:34:25 I'll text Juicy with those Yeah give them it And just send my love and stuff And say we'll look into That content house stuff Obviously Okay
Starting point is 00:34:32 All right Yeah Right It is time to go on Do another segment Because I want to Oh God You want to do another segment
Starting point is 00:34:40 I do want to do another segment What is it going to be I've got a few ideas but I know it's down to three Is it a price of shine Is it a book-nuck Is it a golden games? No
Starting point is 00:34:54 Bridge to prize Shikes Wait will you please Fucking stop me Because I'm going nowhere with this No sorry I was looking at my phone I know You were too busy looking at your phone
Starting point is 00:35:10 Even though you were meant to only fake look at your phone Right segment time Oh whoa It's the fuck It's the fucking price of shite It's the price of shite Little baby I take you
Starting point is 00:35:35 Tonight to look at the Lights And I squeeze your Shite Boom boom boom boom Don't say squeeze your titty It was going all right till then It is the price of shite
Starting point is 00:35:52 Our lovely little game show Where we go to charity shops And what not Buy shite and then guess the price That's right. Oh. And this one, someone's done all the work for us.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Someone's done all the work for us? So Tom from the Variety 84 podcast podcast, podcast variety show. Is that the person? Who's, you know, I don't know what that is. Anyway, we've got a lot to get through, so we've got to crack on.
Starting point is 00:36:15 Okay, let's do it. The Price of Shite. I'm ready. Hello, Paul and Eli, says the Variety Show podcast, Tom from that. Here's a lot of stuff for you to unpack. So here we go. Price of Shite.
Starting point is 00:36:23 Seven parcels, numbered one through seven. You're going to play standard rules with one quid's gambit. Total of all parcels comes to £13.50p. Prices are in 50p increments. Each parcel is a single price. Each parcel is a single price, which means whatever's in the parcel is one price.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Right, okay. Even if there's multiple objects within one parcel. Paul, what is confusing? Everything is from the British Heart Foundation, Hemel-Hemstead. What is confusing me? He says 50p increments. Yeah. So if it's going to be one pound or £1.50.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Oh, do you mean like, is each one going to go up? 25p a between for a 25 p can we? I guess you can. No. Because you know it's not going to be, it's not going to be a multiple of 25. You can only get it. You see the maths I'm getting at now.
Starting point is 00:37:08 I think we should go, we should extend our... Well then that could mean we... To 50p. I mean, we can't. All right, let's fucking do it. Yeah, we're going to do that, yeah? Yeah, I don't know. Let's fucking do it.
Starting point is 00:37:19 Fuck you. It's the price of sight, everybody. It's our price guessing game. It's way the betwings and shit. Go on. And the way you play this game is, you guess the price, both of us here, playing against each other. And if you get the price exactly right on your guess, that will score two betwiings.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Petwings mean points, points mean petwings here on this game. And then there is another way to score betwiings with the guessing. And that is if you are, it's traditionally 25p either way of the price. Yeah. But he has said that all the prices are in increments of 50p, which means you can't use the 25p window. Do you see what I'm getting at? So I know we've amended it to 50p. Above or below the price.
Starting point is 00:38:00 If we say one pound and it's 150 or 50p, you'll get two pet twigs. You get one per twigs. Oh my God. One per twigs. Stop trying to help. Petwings. So. Spot on you get two.
Starting point is 00:38:12 Quids Gambit. If you guess one pound and you say this is the quid's gambit because, you know, one pound is a price, then you'll get four pet wings. No, one of the items. Two for getting it spot on and an extra two for calling the quids gambit. One of the items, it's been broadcast to us beforehand, is a quid. So you don't have to say I'm playing the quid's gambit. You just say a quid.
Starting point is 00:38:32 That is the quid's gambit. It's implicit. But you have to, yeah. You don't say, I'm playing the quid's gambit. I am going to do that now. And you get an envelope. Oh, who's going to sit on those? Bully or you're fucking weird.
Starting point is 00:38:44 It's a mulchie. We got to pull Malti out. Where's Malti's down there? Put him there. Yes, hello, Malti. Have we written him into Content House? We haven't, have we? We should, he should be, he should be,
Starting point is 00:39:00 he could mess with the foundations of Content House and pull it down at the end, like a big Catholician God. Oh, that would be good. I know. Anyway, gribble, grubble. Right, sit on the fucking piddly, puddley, woodly, boy. Hello, Maltry, yes, yes, yes. You devour children.
Starting point is 00:39:18 Sit on the fucking. No, no, that's just things that I do for the TV. In real life, you don't do. life you like it's bibbling and grobbling Gribble in a grobble. Yeah mate it's bad. It's like when you see Pete Beal on the street and people think he's a scumber even though he's in his standards. It's just a character. There's Maltzy.
Starting point is 00:39:34 Okay, Malti is... He's holding the prices. It's got the prices. So it's just you versus me, Paul. Do you want to go first first? No, you guess first. I'll pull them out and you can guess the price first. Yeah, but then we're going to alternate price guessing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's also in the rules.
Starting point is 00:39:50 Right, heads down, plow on. It's time for the price of shite. right. The first one's quite big. Do you want to open it then? Thank you. Right. It's opened it.
Starting point is 00:40:01 It's handed me the first package. Item one. It has item one. Thanks for the numbering and it's a lovely, can I just say to Tom? Lovely work. Nice job on this setting up. Lovely work.
Starting point is 00:40:10 It's nice just to come and play the price of shite. Yeah. Just sit down, play. It's all been prepared to you. It's all very clear, apart from the little mistake with the 25P rule. Which we've ironed that out. We will adapt.
Starting point is 00:40:23 We'll adapt to that. We'll hold that against you. But the quid's gambit. It was very clearly stated. The quid's gambit in play. It's in play. It's in play. And I'm going to say, although this has the number one written on it,
Starting point is 00:40:35 I don't think the quid's going to apply here. And what was the ceiling again? 1350. 1350. 1350. Okay. Now, this, when you handed it to me, looked like I thought a board game.
Starting point is 00:40:46 That's what I thought as well. But now, when I'm feeling it with my little fingies around the back, it feels more like a frame. Oh, I see what you mean. Like a frame with a picturing. Oh, it's not. That's wrong. Oh, bloody tits.
Starting point is 00:40:58 It is a board game. It is a board game. It is. Oh. Sorry, bang the mic there. What is it? International Rescue game, Thunderbirds. Oh, actually.
Starting point is 00:41:09 Peter Pan play things. What have some board games they've done, Oh, fuck me. You know what? On the spot, I can't think of anything. But usually Peter Pan, a UK-based board game manufacturer and toys. They did a lot of license stuff as well.
Starting point is 00:41:22 Right. Christ, right now, I can't think of something they've done. Well, we have done them in the past. definitely have. Was that mall game? The shopping one, was that then? That would have been Milton Bradley or something. So go on. It's international rescue board game Thunderbirds. Tell people what Thunderbirds is in case they don't know. Now, Thunderbirds was a, not animated, it was a puppet, sci-fi puppet. Super marionation, to be specific. That's what they called him. Jerry Anderson. Jerry Anderson was a creator who worked for many years in Britain. Thunderbirds being the most
Starting point is 00:41:49 popular thing they ever did? Oh yeah, considerably. I mean, me, maybe. Well, it's tricky. No, it is the most popular thing, but you could argue, like, Captain Scarlett was big for them as well. Right up to TerraHawks. Stingray as well. TerraHawks, remember that? Terahawks was good, but I don't think it was a huge success. They also did UFO, which was live action. This is charming.
Starting point is 00:42:09 It looks complete as well. We've covered Thunderbirds when we did that terrible dance single. Oh, my lady. How did that go? Oof, oh, God, yeah. Thunderbirds are go, my lady. Yeah. When did this come out, but this can't be more.
Starting point is 00:42:22 No, no. So it's important to note that Thunderbirds are. the birds had a resurgence in popularity in the 1990s. Indeed, they did. Because the BBC started repeating the show's prime time, like 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and it became huge. And originally, they were broadcasting what, the 60s? 60s, late 60s, I think it was.
Starting point is 00:42:41 There was one or two movies based on the property, which weren't very successful. No. But it did get a resurgence. Famously, Blue Peter did a whole thing where you could build Tracy Island out of toilet roll and things. It was very popular. Basically, the show is about people... And there was a new toy, wasn't there, around that time?
Starting point is 00:42:59 The Tracy Island toy was... I remember one... Yeah, that's from the whole point of they're making it itself so you could save money. Yeah. Because it was really expensive. And it was like one of the first of those sort of trend toys like that people go mad at about Christmas, you know?
Starting point is 00:43:12 That was broadcast as such. Yeah, yeah, very much so. But like, yeah, apparently it was quite the huge exciting thing in the 90s, even though it was like a 20, 30-year-old show at that point anyway. And yeah, International Rescue went around the world rescuing people. from disasters and fighting the hood. That's what you do on the board game. How much Eli is that board game?
Starting point is 00:43:29 No, it's you. He's guessing first if you remember. I mean, I don't think that's what happened, but I'll do it anyway. Okay. Because I'm going to go with, I'm going to go with four quid on that one right now. Now, I think the thing is here,
Starting point is 00:43:42 I'm thinking Paul's a bit of an expert. This is one of his little expertise is. Yeah, but you know, it can be random, depending on where you shop. I know, but you said that with some confidence as well, four quid. Do I want to mirror the four? I could see that being a little cheaper or a little more expensive either way.
Starting point is 00:43:58 I'm going to say a little bit more cheap. You're going to say six quid, aren't you? I'm going to say $3.50. I'm going to say $3.50. We're going to have a chance to... Yeah, of course we will. Review these guesses before we reach up and reveal from behind multi-fibages. Will and back the actual scores, everybody.
Starting point is 00:44:15 I'm Eli Silverman. This is Paul Gannon. I hope you're enjoying the show so far. Take command of International Rescue and be the first to complete your mission, evade the evilhood and save the day. I'm taking this to LXB when we filmed this week. You are on that, yeah. Well, I was going to ask you, is it that much interest?
Starting point is 00:44:31 Maybe, we'll see. Okay, but also our episodes based on licensed stuff does well. Okay, there you go, probably. Right, item two. It's a no-brainer, probably that. Item two, Mr. Silverman. Item two, and you are going to open this one. That means you have to get to pay this.
Starting point is 00:44:46 Yes. Oh, it looks like a collection of cards. Oh, I actually think I used to have this. Oh, so you know what it is, then? Yeah, I'm a did. Disney's adult. Not 100% full-on-on-in like some people, but I love my Disney experiences from films to ride and such.
Starting point is 00:45:00 Wouldn't go on the cruise with me, though, would you? No, because I hate the idea of doing cruisers. However, in growing up days when I was Webern, I was whole family into Disney, and I had this as well, PG-Tips, magical world of Disney. Oh, the little card collection album things. Yeah, actually, there's two things here, one price, I'd imagine.
Starting point is 00:45:17 And is it full? It looks like it's complete. So, yeah, you'd get a box of PG-tips, And inside there was a little card or sticker and you would stick it in this book to fill out the image. There's Dumbo, Mini Mouse, Alison Wonderland. These are completely filled in. Yeah, it looks like it's complete, Lady in the Tramp.
Starting point is 00:45:32 They're like Panini sticker album, similar concept. Similar, but similar. Oliver and Company. How did you get the stickers? No fucking Basil the Great Mouse Detective. Fuck off. It wasn't very popular at the time. No, it was.
Starting point is 00:45:43 It was Disney's first big proper success after a decade and a half of failures. Now, were these stickers actually in the T-boxes? Yeah. Right. You'd get one in each one. wouldn't you, with a little bit of blurb on the back. These people must have drank a bunch of tea.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Well, yeah, maybe. You drank a bunch of tea, didn't you? Yeah. Did you ever complete one of these books? Can't remember. Right. I did complete a teenage mutant ninja turtles coin collection that had something to do with collecting tea tokens.
Starting point is 00:46:06 So I've got that somewhere in an attic. And there's another one here, by the way, just briefly. PG tips, the wonderful world of Kevin Tips. Oh, it's different, not Disney. I thought we were both Disney. Because PG Tips was advertised by monkeys. Oh, these are their monkeys. They're not as well drawn as any of this Disney stuff.
Starting point is 00:46:19 And these are just images of things around the world with a monkey So there's Hollywood or Italy. It's not shit. It's not shit. It's not shit. What's that thing called? The Atomum in Brussels. Is that what it's called?
Starting point is 00:46:33 Atomium. The Atomium. It's like this building that looks like an atom sort of diagram. And it was from a world fair or something like that? I don't know. It's a famous building, isn't it? Famous modernist structure. I don't know. But yeah, either way, it is a famous structure.
Starting point is 00:46:45 But look, Russia, Denmark. It's like the monkey goes around the world. It starts in England. Actually starts an island that giant's causeway. and then ends up in Mexico. Did you have that one as well? No, but I had the Disney one. The Disney one has some lovely artwork.
Starting point is 00:46:56 It's pleasing. It's all right, isn't it? I've never heard of this Oliver and Company. It was a dog and cat version of Oliver Twist. Simple as that. And it was a feature film. Yeah, and it was successful. It was the one that came after, Basil, I think.
Starting point is 00:47:10 Certainly late 80s, because the last half decade was Basil the Great Mousy Tech. But that's when they're failing, right? That's the early 80s. It's just before the Renaissance. It's just before the Renaissance. But you've got to remember that. The big, big flop that nearly destroyed Disney was the Black Coldron. Is Oliver and Company before the Black?
Starting point is 00:47:25 After that. It's after the... I think it's at 88, 89, I think Oliver. So it's like just pre-Renaissance? Yes. And that's what I'm saying. Like, if you look at Basil, you look at Oliver and Co. And I think rescuers down under...
Starting point is 00:47:36 They're starting to find the magic again with those films. And then they hit it with The Little Mermaid and then the Renaissance. I see. I see. Okay. It must have been right before that actually, based on the contents of it, funnily enough. But how much, Mr. Silverman? Nice bit of Disney knowledge there, Paul.
Starting point is 00:47:49 Thank you. Tips. I don't think they're very desirable these days, these things. This is the other thing that I think
Starting point is 00:47:54 is contentious. If you're a collector, you probably think, oh, I'm going to spunk loads on this, but also
Starting point is 00:47:59 it's complete, which I would say for collectors is a bit more interesting. If such people exist. Ah, eh,
Starting point is 00:48:05 eh, eh, eh. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Starting point is 00:48:11 How much? Because I can't get a good. I'm feeling two quid. I'm feeling two quid. Okay. Feeling two quid. I'm going to go
Starting point is 00:48:18 with Oh, I'm going to change my mind probably But I'm going to go with Quidd's Gambit Quid's Gambit there Did cross my mind Paul It did cross my mind Right On we go
Starting point is 00:48:29 Hand me it Number three It's a little little pocket of love Hello everybody It's all time for fun in time I'm really enjoying the It's more yellow this paper It's just wrapping paper
Starting point is 00:48:46 It's tan It's simple post wrapping paper You can get darker stuff You can't you You can I don't know why you've made a point Of making a point of that I like colours
Starting point is 00:48:53 Fine I enjoy my perception of colour is one of the best things about That's why I don't understand people who are colour blind How they get any joy out of life You colour blind? No. A lot of men are. Yes.
Starting point is 00:49:04 You know that? I mean, yeah, but again, they probably appreciate what they get. These, poor. Yeah. In my hand. Or in my hand, I have a letter. These are kind of cool. These are some more sort of freebie card sticker things
Starting point is 00:49:18 that you get in food packets. Because back in the day, I remember. Have you had these as well? I don't know because I don't know what they are yet, because I know what kind of thing they are. Like my heart says, are these from Wheatow's or something? Like Weatabix or Wheatow's or... You're very much in the ballpark.
Starting point is 00:49:34 These are Olympic champions. Okay. So you were very much in the serial ballpark. They would have come in a serial box. I just remember like Weito's having these little kind of magic card things where you pulled the slide and then it would go from black and white to color. Can I open one of these? I mean, why not?
Starting point is 00:49:48 Can I have a lot? Oh no. They've got little spin wheels on them. Oh no, they've got little things inside the cards. They're like a flat. pack inside the thing. Oh, give me one. Give me one.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Are you going to open one? There's one open already. Oh, let's open that one open. This is who? This is number five at a series of 20 guides to track and field athlete. So these are guides to the sport in general, not specific people. Oh, there's Fatima Whitbread. Was that her name?
Starting point is 00:50:12 Yes. Javelin. In Munich in 1972, Soviet Lundmir Braggina broke the world record in the first two rounds and broke it again in the final. What sport? I don't understand. 100,000 million metres. She's still be going now.
Starting point is 00:50:28 1500 meters. Oh, I see. You pull it down there's a little dot and it changes the fact. What would you call that a little pop-up? It's a little pop-up. It's a little pop-up. It's a little bit.
Starting point is 00:50:37 It's quite clever. It's quite nice little thing. Because you've got Olympic winners. It goes to their first champions, then gives you a bunch of names and you pull it down again. And there's a fact. So it is.
Starting point is 00:50:46 And then on the inside, there's the same. That's quite fun. Little trivia revealer things. I like that. They just don't put these in Kellogg's boxes, anymore. You know, I miss it. All of this stuff is gone.
Starting point is 00:50:57 Either way, Eli, that's what we're talking about now. We're talking about the price of these Kellogg's cars. I'm playing my quid gambit on these. That's a solid one. Yeah. That's a solid one. There's four packs. Three are like still sealed and I'm loath to open them.
Starting point is 00:51:08 I know. I'm the same. I kind of like the purity of it. Well, keep the... What are the other ones? You've got javelin and that's Fatima Whitbread, I believe. Yeah. What was your one?
Starting point is 00:51:16 1500 meters, yeah. Shot, as in shot put. Put put, yeah. He chuck a big heavy ball. Ship putt, trying to drop a big heavy tear. And another race, 200 metres. Nice. I used to run that.
Starting point is 00:51:28 Did you? Yeah. Oh, there you go. It's like a sprint. Anyway, I'm going to say 50p for that altogether, 50p. All right. Next item. You're going 50p.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Yeah, I'm going. Now, every price we've been told is in increments of 50 p. So here is the next one. Number four, am I opening this or you? I am. I am. You open, yeah, I am. You open that.
Starting point is 00:51:48 You're cheeky herb. Oh, I guess first, by mistake. It doesn't matter. Love not war. Love not war. Oh, I guess first. It's two annuals. Two banging annuals.
Starting point is 00:52:01 In the UK, a big thing for kids was a roundabout Christmas. One of the things you would get at Christmas was an annual, which is a hardback book for kids based on a popular IP. And we have two here. We have Blockbusters, the game show, and... Count Duckler. Nice. Oh, I actually like this.
Starting point is 00:52:16 Count Duckler was a Cosgrove Hall animation from the place that gave us Danger Mouse. This was about a vegetarian duck who went on a... adventures around the world in his time traveling or at least world traveling castle. Beautiful. Meanwhile, his ego, his butler, would try and make him do evil things and then fail. And then you had nurse who would say, oh, docky booze. Oh, what are you doing, duckie booze? It was a great, great, great cartoon.
Starting point is 00:52:42 Not as good as Danger Mouse, but a little bit more kind of polished. You know what I mean? It's a much more polished than Danger Mouse was. I like Danger Mouse a lot. Yeah. No, Cosgrove Hall, by and large, didn't have too many stinkers. But it was an ITV property, and Cosgrove Hall, oh yeah, work for Thames, I guess. Honestly, I think the sad story is Cosgrove Hall just died out in the 90s,
Starting point is 00:53:00 an animation was kind of struggling before the big boom again. Now, it's a lovely thing, and it has Cosgrove Hall productions at the top, but it's not the greatest picture of, it's not the best, it looks rushed to the cover of this. That would have been stock drawings to hand out to people who make these things. Yes, it's not a very well-designed cover, is it? It's just blunt, blue. Very basic. Meanwhile, I've got Blockbusters, which was the game show.
Starting point is 00:53:22 ITV afternoons. It was huge when I was studying for my GCSEs. Yeah, and we've done it on Barshans and we've done it on Cheap Show in the past. They showed it in the early afternoon, was it? Yeah, I think like 5.20 or something like that. Just after school was finished. And it was a game show where two people went up against one person on this quiz board where you had to pick a letter on the quiz board and you'd go left to right or up or down,
Starting point is 00:53:43 create a link of correct answers. And one of the unique things about it was teams of two took on a team of one. Yeah, that's why the one went across. The two team had to go across the board where there were more. questions to get. And the one could only had to go from top to bottom to top.
Starting point is 00:53:57 You could go in any direction, couldn't you? It talks about the, it's, I mean, it's a... And there's the board game in there, yeah. Which I've got,
Starting point is 00:54:03 which we've got. And the blockbuster font is old school digital clock. Digital text or calculator. Yeah, Texas calculator or whatever. Yeah, but it must have an official name
Starting point is 00:54:13 that font. Oh yeah. Oh, there's a couple of, oh, there's some questions of Bob Horness who was the presenter. And, you know, as everyone knows,
Starting point is 00:54:20 once played James Bond on the radio or something. And you had to ask for a letter. So famously, there was, can I have a P, please, Bob. And also, because it was the rave era, can I have an E, please, Bob? Referring to Ecstasy, MDMA,
Starting point is 00:54:34 or as it's known more commonly now, Molly. But the problem is when you played the gold run, where you got more letters in that square, it wasn't just one single letter, you could say, can I have a BJ, Bob. Yeah, you know what I mean? Oh, you can say, yeah. Can I have full penetrative sex, Pop? You could take F-U-N-E-X.
Starting point is 00:54:49 Yeah. S-V-X. F-U-N-E-M. They asked Bob Holness. S-V-F-M. They asked Bob Holness before his 500th episode, funnily enough. They ask him, what are them the highlights? Most of the big moments came from people winning big prizes.
Starting point is 00:55:05 Tanya, an Indian girl, won a prize to visit India. She'd never been there, but we found out that's what she'd like most. Then we got her to the fifth gold one, and she just burst into tears. She was so emotionally involved, and it's things like that that make blockbusters memorable. But Holness sounds like he was a good guy. Yeah, he doesn't have the... He has been any ill will. There's no rumours of him having scat tape
Starting point is 00:55:26 He's in the ground. He's in the ground. Do you want to do a quick question? Pick a letter and I'll give you a question. Okay. Any letter you like, because there's quite a lot of them here. N. What end does Cleopatra have on the bank of the River Thames?
Starting point is 00:55:38 Needle. Is correct. Another one. Go on pick a letter. You just read that out question to me. What S connects Lester, Derby and Nottingham? What S connects... Lester, Derby and Nottingham.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Sutt? They're all mining town. Sutt, no. No. Good. Effort, but no, Shire. Oh. Leicestershire, Darba Shire, not a given Shire.
Starting point is 00:55:55 One more, then, is a good one. I know this one, so I know it's right. What P is Stoke-Contrent's principal industry? Printing? No, pottery. Right. So, Eli, two annuals, but what is price? What is price?
Starting point is 00:56:07 What is price? What is prize? For two very good condition annuals. I will say that and all. Three quid. Oh, wha. Fiverr. A fiver.
Starting point is 00:56:16 That's bold. I'm going to go as high as five. They're in lovely condition. Did you mention that? Absolutely. mint in box. Absolutely mint on car. Vondon plan.
Starting point is 00:56:24 Right, I'm going to go with two quid for this. Two quid for both. Yeah. What's next? Number five. Number five's next. Cool.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Hand it to us. Flippy floppy. Looks like another magazine pamphlet or something of reading material like that. Yes, this is a good selection of shite. I will say that. I will open the price
Starting point is 00:56:46 as shite. Hemel-Hempstead seems to be shining in terms of its charity shop offerings. I'll give it a go. I'll give it to go. I'll give it to. go. Oh.
Starting point is 00:56:54 I'll give it to go. And then I'll piss in the snow. I've done a little picture. Oh, oh. Oh. These are humorous tabloid style magazines in the format of Viz. But these aren't Viz. This is Spit comic.
Starting point is 00:57:11 These are the Viz knockoffs in the wake of Viz. I don't remember Spit. There was Oink and Spit. Oink had the flexi disc by... Yes, which we've done on the show. By Frank Sidebottom, yes. I used to collect Oink. I know.
Starting point is 00:57:23 This is split. This is so... Wasn't Zit one as well or something of fart and gash and spunk. You know, they all had those kind of names. This is so busy. Oh yeah, because basically... Which numbers that? Just for the people listening internationally.
Starting point is 00:57:37 This was a comic book, but for adults with juvenile humor, insightful satire and commentary. Still going. And still going. Not, you know, it's the legacy thing right now because it hasn't got the numbers it used to, but it left quite the comic legacy, I think. Especially in Britain.
Starting point is 00:57:53 But off the back of its success, because it did, was a huge grassroots thing where it started out in pubs and clubs, didn't it? And then got a publishing deal and then became huge in the 80s. And it's been kind of on its arse lately. And I still wonder, Eli, to this day, is our cheap show advert still in there? The story behind what Paul's going on about here is we did take some advertising, half a page out for episode 200. Oh, was that for 200?
Starting point is 00:58:14 Yeah. Wow. And then you paid for a month or something, right? Pay for that one deal, yeah. Yeah, you paid for whatever the deal was, half a year, whatever it was. And then our advert remained in for several years. They kept running it. I think it was just a face filler.
Starting point is 00:58:28 Place filler. Face filler. I've got a fucking face filler. Yeah, yeah, we get it. Fucking hell. Now, there's two issues of spit, and there's also these. What are these? Are these?
Starting point is 00:58:40 These are... Apparently advert. These are on pink paper. They're just one page thing. This is like a sample teaser comic to sell hoot or what's that one? Dandy. Dandy, very famous British comic. Black Colour.
Starting point is 00:58:52 So that came, this is 1988 or something. Very weird. 84, 85. 85. Where would these, these are like advert? This might have been in. In split. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:01 These copies of spit, yeah. Might have been. Why, you wouldn't read the bat. You're total age group difference. Well, here's the thing. My, my, I don't, I could do some research, but it feels like this is a legitimate publishing company that maybe owned these comics that was trying to cash it on Viz.
Starting point is 00:59:14 Right. And at the same time. Yeah. Because they were like one of the big ones. We could do that and we've got more money to throw behind it. Yeah. And it is a flagrant. Look at this character, Ugly Dudley.
Starting point is 00:59:24 A right big bloke with a donkey jacket on. That's the character. That's the name of the strip. Yeah, it's not like Big Verve or whatever that character is. Big Verne. Yeah, Big Verne. Big Vern was a cockney gangster. No, he always ended up taking his own life.
Starting point is 00:59:36 Yeah, but that's a Viz. He was hilarious. Big Fern's great. Because this is the thing. The joke was in Viz. You take characters from like the Dan the Ambino, like Dennis the Menace, Roger, the Dodger, Desperate Dan, whatever.
Starting point is 00:59:48 And then you'd make them like... Terry Fuckwit. Yeah, Terry Footwit. I mean, that was a good character. And Finar Saunders, who found everything suggestive, which is, you know, my mantra. But anyway, we got these. Oh, there's some really dodgy stuff in this. Oh, no, don't.
Starting point is 01:00:02 Of course there fucking is. Stuff that has not aged well, and it's probably full-on racist. They've got like a fake ad here. Come to China. There's lots to see. Brackets, but no photography allowed. A big wall that stretches for miles. Lots of tanks and assorted military hardware on display.
Starting point is 01:00:16 Millions of soldiers all over the shop with mean looks on their faces. Folk wearing those funny suits a bit like the Beatles used to wear. dead students, China, I wouldn't fucking bother if I were you. Yeah. So it's around the time of... Let's just have a laugh about Tiananmen Square. The Tiananmen Square. But this is the problem.
Starting point is 01:00:31 A lot of people took the wrong lessons from Viz. Because Viz could be offensive and rude, but I also think it was intelligence. It did... Yeah, that feels like... That feels like a joke that kind of not quite getting the level, the same level as... What it is, is it's blokey patriotism humor.
Starting point is 01:00:48 The British view of the world. You know, we see it straight... Viz always subverted that, didn't they? That's the whole thing. thing, isn't it, though? But this feels like it's just on that level. It's not that they never did cross a line. Yeah. It's more that at least they were more like switched on to what was happening in the 80s and the 90s. No, Viz have some amazing stuff over the years. We were taught Viz at school as part of my media studies course because it was like,
Starting point is 01:01:09 here's how you learn media literacy. You look at satire of something to understand how the original thing works. The other thing we haven't mentioned, which makes more, we'll make more sense of what you've been saying, is Viz, as well as sort of being a parody comic, was a parody newspaper as well. It tabloid. It had tabloid style articles. Writes-to-re-re-re-staffirte. Fake adverts for portal in place. The letters page, obviously, which is the big thing. It was a spoof
Starting point is 01:01:32 of just like basically like all print media in the UK. It says here as well. It started in 94, which seems really fucking late to jump on that bandwagon. But I guess... What did, spit. Yeah. We're looking at two copies of spit, which isn't up to the quality of this. Editor was Graham Hay.
Starting point is 01:01:48 Maybe this was more independent than I'm thinking. Maybe I'm wrong. But it was one of many such comics similar to Viz and also considerably cruder and in lower production quality than its inspiration with many strips ending in blunt sexual humour. As well as the comic strips include photo, stories, joke articles, all the stuff Viz did. And then the same publication company also released Zit. Zit, yeah. Which was similar, having abandoned the publication after being alienated by its editor.
Starting point is 01:02:15 What does that mean? Weird. But yes, there are breasts in this of notice, bare breasts. I mean, they're in the Viz as well. But not to the same extent. This is really on the line between sort of... It's one here called Teenage Mum. Yeah, you know what I mean.
Starting point is 01:02:28 And her character in the open is her holding a baby and saying, shut your fucking little gob. Because here's the thing about... None of the class of Viz. Well, this is the thing about Viz. They had similar humour, you know, like eight-eighths. It's difficult to see about when it punched up and down. It's just...
Starting point is 01:02:43 When it punched sideways, I guess. I don't know. There was nuance. They pushed it to absurd levels. It was like the grotesque. Yeah. Or, you know what? mean.
Starting point is 01:02:52 Yeah. It was... Maybe to say it wasn't completely hateful. They didn't hate their characters. They don't hate their
Starting point is 01:02:58 characters, Fizz. They don't hate you know what I mean? And, you know, the reason why it's so successful is because it does have a legacy that stretches to a
Starting point is 01:03:03 stupid fucking video game and a TV series. You know, the fish song, the football. Yes, they had singles. Yeah. It had more of a cultural impact than any of its
Starting point is 01:03:12 contemporary. Oh, yeah. And it was the first. Yeah. I mean... But how much? You guess in first. You guess in first.
Starting point is 01:03:18 This is a tricky one. What have I got what? What a number was this? Four, five, six, seven. Can I take away? I want to put that on the wall, that pink pamphlet. You can have it if you want it.
Starting point is 01:03:26 I don't want the actual mags. I just want that pink pamphlet. All right, you can have that. It's fine. All right, yeah. I'm going to go with 150. 150? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:39 Can I see my number so far? You've got 3.52 quid. Quids gamut and five. So it's 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 1150 altogether. And how many objects have got? How many objects? Two more. Two more.
Starting point is 01:03:51 You can go back through this, mate. Don't worry. I'm going to go same as you, 150, please. Yeah. Is that all right? That's allowed. There's never been a rule team. We can't save the same.
Starting point is 01:03:59 All right. Pass me that Hout. That's the other Hout. There's the other Pout. Right. Paitam, number six. Number six. Now another little one.
Starting point is 01:04:14 Here, put it down. We've moved on from Hute. We've moved on. Number six, everybody. It's a little record, I think. That's a seven-inch single. A flexi? It is Garden Bird Song.
Starting point is 01:04:27 The World Society for the Protection of Birds. It's a flexi in it. It has Dawn Chorus, Great Tit, Chaffinch, goldfinch, chif chaff, Willow warbler, Robin Dunnick, House Sparrow, Starling, Song Thrush, Blackbird. That's what you get on this. Banga after bangor. After banga.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Do you know, House Sparrow goes? Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, no. Like that. No. In the mornings they do. I'm going to do a joke, Paul. I was going to do a joke. Oh, go on.
Starting point is 01:04:57 Do you know how Sparrow goes? No. Osh, oosh, oosh, oosh, oosh, oom, o'ish, o'em. Oh, do you know how's music? Yeah. Gere how Fush goes. Screechie, scratchy. Yeah, sniff my parsy fingers.
Starting point is 01:05:08 Sniff my parsy fingers. I've got mushrooms on the balls. I've got phoever around the tip. Paul, I don't know if we've mentioned before on this. My penis looks like a great oak. Show. And the top of it is split. There are certain types of record sleeves that you should never use.
Starting point is 01:05:22 And it's PVC and this one is gone all. And it's gone all... It's warped it. It's gone all sticky sticky. Warbly. And it's outgasses. So I would be not surprised. It's actually stuck together.
Starting point is 01:05:32 Oh, sticky business. Horrible. Is it a flexi? Yes. I would be surprised if this flexi survive without being gassed on. Oh, it is in lovely. It's all right.
Starting point is 01:05:40 Surprising. Oh, it's done well there, isn't it? Has it got two-sided, it does. Very rare. And you've gone to see the clear distinct lines. That's a lovely, lovely preservation on that one. I think we're both surprised by that.
Starting point is 01:05:51 But let's get rid of this horrible PVC sleeve. that it's been stored in, which it could out gas, Paul. It can out gas and damage these things. Well, you'll be careful. Maybe we'll wait until we've got some more time for you to do it with consideration. I have to do it now because it's doing my head. I think you're going to be impatient. No, it's fine. It's split at the top here.
Starting point is 01:06:06 Don't pull my split. There, there's going. Throw that away. Get out. How dare you? There we go. That is in lovely condition. It's not bad.
Starting point is 01:06:13 You've got the insert. Oh, that's nice. Is that a little bit more information on what you're listening to? Why Bird Singh? I don't think you can tell me that in distinct... definitively I know why birds sing Usually to get over a break-up
Starting point is 01:06:28 The dawn... That's not as a good a joke You should have heard a woman at the karaoke singing nothing compares to you And you just think to yourself You got dumb basically Oh, a bird You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:06:36 You know what I mean? A lovely bird! Sweetheart darling The dawn chorus is the most famous Herald of Spring It happens because songbirds Proclaim their territories At sunset and again at dawn
Starting point is 01:06:49 So it's all the bird saying get off my land. After the intensity of song at first light, there's a lull when the birds go about their important business of feeding. This is a dawn chorus, typical of a broad-leaved woodland, or a garden.
Starting point is 01:07:03 Band two. Great tit. Paris Major, the largest of the common tit. I like a great kit tit. Glossy black head and neck with white cheeks. Why do you do like Richard III? I don't know. Glassy, I'm going to do it.
Starting point is 01:07:17 I'm going to do... No, don't. I'm going to do... No, don't. I'm going to do... as Olivier's Richard the 3rd. This is from the Chiff Chaff. Wabler, such a summer migrant.
Starting point is 01:07:28 Greenish brown with faint ice-lipping pale of the part arriving Britain in late. I don't know why I'm told all the accent. You've gone Welsh. You've got a Welsh. Stop. Another summer migrant arriving after to Chiff Chaff. You can't even do it.
Starting point is 01:07:44 You can't even do Richard III anymore. Very similar to the Chif Chaff. I can only be reliably distinct. which by the feel of it's time. You have to guess the price. I think that was a good impression of me doing an impression of someone else. Whose price guessing first? It's me first now because you went first last time.
Starting point is 01:07:58 Yes, how much? Ah, 50p. Yeah, I'm going to go the same with you on this, actually. Oh, he's mirroring me now. What are you going to do 50p? He's mirroring me. Last item. Oh, it's a big boy.
Starting point is 01:08:10 Eli gets to open the big boy. It's a big ratly box boy. It's a Rittily Rattley Box boy. It's a Ritterly Box boy. I don't know why these kind of fucking things am used us. Dingbot, Paul. A what? A dingbot pool.
Starting point is 01:08:24 Say a what again? A what? A dingbot pool. All right, I thought there was a joke there. Oh, it's a little robot. Little retro robot. It's a tome one. This is how I imagine trackbot to look.
Starting point is 01:08:34 Oh, really? I can see that, actually. I can see that. He's got a nice port. I used to have one of these as a kid. He's got a little square port at the front. Yeah. I used to have this as a kid.
Starting point is 01:08:41 You did? Yeah. Tomey, lovely. Christmas present from Nanny. Oh, this is, my price is fucked now. All my prices are fucked. We'll see. This is the box is intact.
Starting point is 01:08:50 It's a bit tattered. All right. It's a blue box and here is dingbot inside. I didn't know Tommy did a dingbot. Yeah. Well, these loads of fucking things, didn't they? I love this. It's great, you know.
Starting point is 01:08:59 Give me the box. I just want to read some stuff. So this is, on the back it says, Once upon a time, and then I sold this that filter. A robot was made and left alone to find his way. Stop doing Richard III. It doesn't work.
Starting point is 01:09:10 His name, Dingabot. Do Richard O'Brien. How does his voice go? It'll be more. A nonstop chattering, bump and go robot. I don't know. It's quite hard, actually. It all goes well,
Starting point is 01:09:20 I want this... It all goes... Oh, he's a fast-traveling robot who bumps into wills and obstacles, walls and obstacles. He chatters, he turns his head, he speeds off on his own. He carries his own floor plan,
Starting point is 01:09:30 included, in his poseable arms. He's a funny robot. It's just a little plastic thing that runs around and bongs into things. But there was a range of three. Do you remember that? No. Verbot and Omnibot,
Starting point is 01:09:40 and this is tiny compared to Omnibot and Verboat. Look at those. Oh, those are big boys. Those are big boys. Right now, everyone, if you're listening, what an 80s home robot might look like.
Starting point is 01:09:53 If you think about the 80s, it's aesthetic and what he would like to hone a robot at home, then you have literally guessed what these have looked like. Well, this is very reminiscent as well as, what was that film franchise called? Oh, no, but you know what it does look like? It looks like that. It looks like battery's not included.
Starting point is 01:10:09 Yeah. It looks like batteries not included, or like a little robot version of ET. Or Five is Alive. What was that? Oh, short circuit. Short circuit. Well, it looks a little bit like Wolley as well.
Starting point is 01:10:18 And Wally. It's a class. I mean, it's a lovely, lovely mould. Pictures on our website. The plastic work is, as you'd expect from Tommy, really lovely. It's lovely plastic. I wish I had the little floor planet come. Moulded plastic.
Starting point is 01:10:33 Part excellence, everyone. But all it does is run around the floor and bump into things. Where's the on button? Well, I don't know. It has a battery in. Does it? Yeah. We might be dead, to be fair.
Starting point is 01:10:42 Well, it's an Amazon basics battery. On the off switch. On the bottom. Yeah. No, it's dead. I'm taking that battery out and please dispose of it. No, actually, don't do it yet in case there's all crust and battery mess. No, you have.
Starting point is 01:10:53 All right, cool. It isn't no crust. All right, actually. What a lovely thing. That's my favourite object easily of the day. He's got, oh, I can hear it is working. There's life. And he's going to put it on the tabletop there.
Starting point is 01:11:05 His head is going. Oh, I think it's not catching. It's not moving. Put it, yeah. Oh, it doesn't work. Is that broken that wheel? Maybe. I think it's broken.
Starting point is 01:11:13 It's come off its tank. Yeah, it's come off its axle or something. But the head moves. Yeah, the head moves. It's, you know. Can I keep this? Or do you want it? No, you can have it if you really, really want it.
Starting point is 01:11:24 I just want to take pictures before I go. It's noisy, isn't it, though? Yeah, turn the fucker off. It's not, it's an ornament. How old are these wheels should be turning that. It doesn't work, it's fine. It's a lovely little thing. They're a little robot.
Starting point is 01:11:37 I love him. He's my special friend. I know. He really is like trackbot. Maybe we'll call him mini trackbot. Well, he's got little arms. How old? From the early 80s, we think?
Starting point is 01:11:46 Mid 80s, at least. It's your turn to guess first. on this last item, Paul, I have to say, and I'd be interested. Oh, it's got its little... Instruction. Instruction manual there. 50, 60, 70, 85. 85. 85. So...
Starting point is 01:12:01 19805. 40 years old. Yes. Fucking hell. And, you know, not bad for 40 years old, that little thing. Crazy. Now, 4, 5, 6, 7. He's doing little adding up because we have a... I'm going to say this is 4 quid. Total price. That takes you right to 3050.
Starting point is 01:12:15 That's 30. 50. I'm going to lock them in because fuck this. Now, can I have a look at my scores, please. Yeah, so 350. two pound quids gambit five pound uh 150 and then 50 p so that takes you to that takes you over doesn't it so what you want to do for the robot what did i say with five pounds well whatever item five was it was the annuals wasn't it oh yeah yeah so maybe that's where you've gone wrong can i go down to three pounds for the annuals yeah i can do that and then what do you want to what you want to make the robot what's the robot going to be 350 350 350 that's the game so let me just go you got
Starting point is 01:12:49 3.50 and 3.50, so that's 7 quid. 8, 9, 10, 13, 40. So you've done 15 quid altogether. But that doesn't mean anything really because you could be bang on with off of these prices. Or it means you've got some of them bang on and the rest too much or too little. You know, it just doesn't matter. Well, but you're bang on, aren't you? So you're better, more likely to win. Yeah, but I didn't aim to be bang on. It's just how it's rolled out. Are you going to lock in before I do this?
Starting point is 01:13:15 I'll lock in. Ladies and gentlemen. I had an amazing game of this the other day on a video, everyone, where I scored basically. Top tier. And I helped them a lot. Top points. It's not canon
Starting point is 01:13:22 and doesn't count. It kind of does. Phantom. It's phantom between. It kind of does. It kind of does. I mean, no,
Starting point is 01:13:30 it's kind of canon. It's kind of canon. In a parallel universe, cheap show it's canon. It's kind of canon. I don't know why. If it ain't canon, it ain't canon.
Starting point is 01:13:40 That's the rule. I'll choose up the roll. You haven't got a sentence to finish that fucking thought off with. I've got all noise based. Yes, you have. And I would argue you've been like this for a very long time. Yeah, you're a noise-based cretin.
Starting point is 01:14:01 Anyway, here's it so you can't accuse me to cheating. I'm handing the letter from Grumpy to you. He looked after it like a good lad. These are the prices of the shyses. And there was some shite there, but... But quality. A very interesting array of stuff. Nice stuff, Tom.
Starting point is 01:14:15 Thoroughly enjoyable, thank you, Tom. Thoroughly enjoyable, thank you, Tom. Because we're going to do a cheap shot, aren't we about annual? So we can add these... And do you know what I picked up the other day? Another one. The... What?
Starting point is 01:14:23 What was that guy out of the month? is called. Mickey Dolan. Metal Mickey. Oh, yeah, that's right. Metal Mickey. Metal Mickey. Well, we're going to do a cheap shot
Starting point is 01:14:29 metal, not Metal Mickey. We're not going to do that. We're going to do a cheap shot annuals including the Metal Mickey annual. I've lost the ability to talk. Just get on with it. Come on. I have in my hands.
Starting point is 01:14:41 It's got in here. We're both evaporating as we speak. Okay. Okay. Right. It's all going to be in order because it has been a lovely... Exactly.
Starting point is 01:14:49 A lovely little bit of administration. Yeah. From the creator of this bespoke. price of shite. Absolutely. We used to buy these items ourselves, remember that back in the day? Yeah, we still do every now and there. But yeah, no, no.
Starting point is 01:15:00 Well, that's why, if you would like to send the price of shite to us, the P.O. box details on the front page of our website and in the information part of this podcast you're listening to on your app. Parcel one, Thunderbirds board a game. Thunderbirds, yes. I said four pounds. You said 350. I score a betwing because it is three pounds.
Starting point is 01:15:19 Nice. Fair enough. One per twing for Eli. Nice. for three quid then that little board game. It's all in good nick and it looked half decent. It was going to be in that range, but you can never know. You can never know.
Starting point is 01:15:30 It's like, you remember, I found that dark tower for seven quid, and yet people try and sell it for 300 on eBay. I think you should sell it for 300 on eBay. Here's the thing, you can say 300, whether you will ever get that on eBay. You can see things, but how much they actually go for on their metrics. And they never sell. Oh, they just don't sell. They just don't sell.
Starting point is 01:15:47 They just don't sell. Item two, parcel two, PG-Tips, card and books. Yes. You had the really lame one and the Disney one. Yeah, and I see. The monkeys, monkeys go on holiday one. You said, monkeys. They've got a whole monkey theme going back to the chimps.
Starting point is 01:16:02 Yes. That they used to abuse for their adverts. And then... Hello, Mr. Schifter. Remember that with the piano? Yeah. I've got lots of peanut butter on my gums. It's hurting me.
Starting point is 01:16:11 Yeah. That's what they would have said. That's what they did. Instead, they had some British actor at the time going, oh, I can't ship this piano. Right. So, uh, PD tips. You said two quid.
Starting point is 01:16:20 I said quid. Gambit. Two quid. I am running away with this. Is it? Is it? It's two quid, I can show you. Nice known, I believe you.
Starting point is 01:16:27 Nicely done. I get two per twings, getting it on the nose, guys. Three versus nil. See? I'm loving life right now, everyone. Parcel three, and that was the Kellogg's Olympic cards. Right, you said quid, gambit. I said 50p.
Starting point is 01:16:40 You get two bet twing. See, it's 50p, well done, Paul. But then you get a bettwing because you have to get one per twing, yes. See, we're being honest. Thanks. Thanks, I didn't remember that because we didn't, do you see how. the 25P rule would have been ridiculous. It's clearer.
Starting point is 01:16:53 Well, it's clearer when you have that. No, but there's no way we could have scored. No, we couldn't have. If everything's in an increment of 50p, there's no mathematical way you can be 25P out. I'm agreeing with you. What I'm saying is that's why the nuance comes to the 25P rule. With 50p increments, it's harder to have that nuance.
Starting point is 01:17:09 I don't know what you're saying, but anyway, let's move on. In terms of guessing the price, it's like it's harder to be accurate. Okay, yes, you're right. It's easier because it's a larger window. Yes, okay. It takes some of the luster off. I'm just saying that rule would not have been. in play at all by a mathematical reality.
Starting point is 01:17:23 Yeah, anyway. It being 50p, only increments of 50p. Everyone knows what I'm trying to say. Yeah, what's item for? You swine. You swine. Come on. Oh, I'm still fucking three betwiings ahead.
Starting point is 01:17:33 No, you're one between your head. Two betwiings, because it's four two. Four two to me. Okay, and we're moving into parcel four. Yeah. Blockbuster and Count Dacula annual. Oh yeah, you said three quid. I said two.
Starting point is 01:17:47 Crazily enough, that was the quid's gambit. Good deal. They go more for more than. that in London town. They do. That's a good deal. That's a great. I would never have given that a quid
Starting point is 01:17:55 in that condition. I know. They fucking put those through the roof in London town. That's a good deal that is. I can't get over it. I can't get over it. I bet if I want an eBay right now
Starting point is 01:18:05 to look for one of them. They'd be a fiver each. And that's not even paying P&P. Yeah. Anyway, next I go. Let's go up to Hamstead. Get in those. You might have to actually.
Starting point is 01:18:15 It looks like a fucking treasure trail. Although it looks like Tom's rinsed them all the good stuff. Treasure, fucking treasure trows. I mean, we should leave London more and to do this stuff. It's a treasure trove, me. It's a trap.
Starting point is 01:18:25 And stop. Next item, number five. No, number five. Number five. I just want to say Trevor Trove one more time.
Starting point is 01:18:31 Number five is what? Number five, Paul, it's the comics. Okay. The Viz knockoff comics. We both said 150. And we both will be receiving two betwiings.
Starting point is 01:18:39 Oh, well, I mirrored you there, didn't I? Yeah. Oh my God, it's a fucking petwing festival. I've just looked down the list, Paul. There's a lot more betweenings coming down.
Starting point is 01:18:50 Right now. All right, well, number six was what? Flexi disk. The bird noise flexi disc. We both said, R-S-PCP, R-S-P-A. PCP-C-P-C-P-P. I smoke PCP-P-C-P. And make love good.
Starting point is 01:19:01 We both said 50P. It's 50P, man. Two between each. Bidding, between, between. So it's six versus two, four, six, eight. So you're two ahead. Wow. I don't think I can win this, but I'm not going down.
Starting point is 01:19:15 You can. You can draw if you get it right. The tommy toy. The tommy robot. If you get it exactly right, you draw. Okay. So you said three. 50 and I said 4.
Starting point is 01:19:22 It is 5 pounds. Oh. No one scores there. Well, I am not going to complain about coming second place there because six betwiens is good on a bad day. That is a nicer amount per twings. I'm on some kind of super red hot betwing eater. Call it cannon and call it Gannon.
Starting point is 01:19:38 You know what? I think if I'd slightly overestimate the second one, we would have been an even keel. But either way, I'm happy with the points across the board there. But congratulations, Geli. Here are your eight betwiens. Between, between, between, between, between, between, between, P-twing, between, between, between, between, between, between between. That's it, you give me nine.
Starting point is 01:19:55 Per twing, per twiddly do. With you have more. Those ones aren't canon after he did the eighth round. Between, pretwing, between, between, between, between. These are AI per twings. Splashing the twings all over your hairy chest. These are fake empty. These are hot, these are empty pet wings.
Starting point is 01:20:08 But twigs across your neck, dribbling down and see a little. Spipa, spipper, spapper. A little spipper, spipper. A little sputper spaffer. A little bit of pearly. A little bit of pearly. I don't like it. Spit out.
Starting point is 01:20:17 I don't like it. I don't like it. not while I'm asleep. Spit out. And that's all for Psychology Corner this week on Cheap Show. It's hot, we're going to make it quick. Go to our website,

Starting point is 01:21:04 Why have I bruised my coxics? Do you sit uncomfortably? Do you sit down? I keep finding myself sitting and thinking, ah, I bruised around the coxics. I hate it. It made me cry once. Yeah, well, I did it in a gym. Didn't you damage your coxics many years ago?
Starting point is 01:21:16 No, that was, my lumber back with a dyskeptomy. No, this is right on the tail right at the end. It's really horrible. You must have like
Starting point is 01:21:23 knocked it or banged it. You must have had some kind of force up against your cops this recently. She got a vile of walking fools. I was in a public toilet being bumped by a stranger. Is that what you were riding a bike?
Starting point is 01:21:35 Have you ridden the bike recently? No. But that's it. That's what happened last time I heard of it. That's what I'm saying though. Was riding an exercise bike in a gym. I'm not suggesting some strange gentleman in the darkened room.
