CheapShow - Ep 50: The Big Fat Power Bottom Epic Special Deluxe

Episode Date: August 11, 2017

This is it! This is the big one! Our BIGGEST one yet! To celebrate somehow reaching episode 50, we have gone big AND we've gone home. Back to the House of Pickles to record this mammoth pointless mile...stone of an episode! We are joined on this special occasion by two very special guests. Ash Frith comes out from behind a phone line to join us face to face and he is accompanied by Richard Sandling, who was there at the very beginning when CheapShow was stupidly called The Uncliqueables. So how are we stuffing this episode? Well... Paul & Eli tackle your questions in a bumper #AskCheapShow segment that quickly goes off the rails and causes some mathematical confusion in the process. This also gives everyone the chance to look back over the past 49 podcasts. There is a mind blowing "Tales From The Dancefloor" that questions reality in more ways than one. We revisit Paul's "FrothShop" for more cheap eats from Gannon's fictional candy emporium. We revisit "Bobby's" branded snacks and take on their range of budget maize crisps. The results are quite surprising... especially Paul's new "FrothShop" voice.  We play another bargain board game based on a TV show format with Noel Edmonds' "Telly Addicts" which annoys Eli, upsets Ash and throw Richard for a loop. There is also time for "Silverman's Platter" where he delivers two odd musical curios, one which puts us back in Eurovisionland and one that makes us want to die inside. And as an aside, Richard brings along a very rare VHS. Finally, CheapShow delivers the most ultimate "Price of Shite" ever. It's full of shocks, surprises, twists and also features possibly THE most awesome/awful piece of charity shop shite ever seen on the show. It's one that the charity shop itself thought it would never sell! The outcome will SHOCK you. We also get a few hellos from past CheapShow guests... some who were less keen to come back then others, albeit very briefly! So download, relax and enjoy the biggest Power Bottom of a podcast CheapShow has done to date... Warning: Contains added Noel Edmonds. Who is now our enemy. But why...?

Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello, so just before we start the 50th episode of Cheap Show, we have to bring up some important business. You may have heard of a Channel 4 show starring Noel Edmonds called Cheap Cheap Cheap, which is a comedy game show about people choosing the cheapest items and and it's basically all right it basically sounds like channel four's version of the price of shikes now no idea is original blah blah blah i'm not i'm not saying channel four have stolen from cheap show they wouldn't know of us i get it it's fine it's just um i need to have a chat with noel edmonds because i spoke to him about this a few years ago and uh him about Cheap Joe. So basically, I managed to get a phone number off a contact of mine for Noel Edmonds.
Starting point is 00:00:50 I'm just calling him now. So let me just dial his number. Okay, I know it's a bit early, but I'll see if he picks up. Noel? Hello, morning, Noel. Before you say anything, mate, I just want you to listen. I just want to have a talk, mate, all right? Your new show on Channel 4, Cheap Cheap Cheap, it's really similar, isn't it, to what we do on Cheap Show?
Starting point is 00:01:20 And Eli and I are just a little bit pissed off about that because when we told you about the format of Cheap Show a few years ago, when we were at your Knowles House orgy, remember you invited us to that? Yeah? Well. Um, you said at the time the idea was shit, and you said don't bother pitching it around because no one's gonna take it. And now you're doing it on Channel 4? So, you know, I mean, look, whatever, but I just wanted to tell you that I think what you've done is bang out of order, mate, alright? I've got a message for you! Oh, oh. You're gonna tell me Che cheap, cheap, cheap is a completely original idea?
Starting point is 00:01:48 Actually, I created this show. Sorry, what? I do not get paid a penny to do this show. I decided, no fee, I wanted to put my heart and soul into it because I want to fight people like you. Like me? Why? Because I think you're at the heart of what is wrong with this country.
Starting point is 00:02:04 No, you're wrong mate. I know I'm right. Right? Why are you being a dickhead about this? Because you're sneering at what we're doing here. Sneering? No, I'm not sneering. No, I'm just fucked off about the fact that you said Cheap Show was shit and now you're doing a show called Cheap Cheap Cheap. You're the one that's getting angry and excited about this. I can't remember feeling this angry and I've never been this angry.
Starting point is 00:02:23 Angry? How do you think I feel? I want to end this on an up note. I know this country really is in a shocking state. Noel? Noel? Oh the bastard's hung up. Right well there you have it. I'm sorry you had to hear that but I just wanted to try and get some kind of explanation from Noel Edmonds. Apparently he doesn't want to do that, so, um... Fine. Without any more ado then, let's kick off episode 50! Come on, Paul. I'm taking pictures.

So that's why it's a little bit echoey because it's not acoustically treated I want to get that straight out of the way
Starting point is 00:07:27 so no one complains about the sound quality of this a show called Cheap Show how dare you how dare you accuse me
Starting point is 00:07:33 no one's complaining we're all friends has anyone complained about the sound quality of the Cheap Show apart from the live ones no not really

Starting point is 00:10:29 Was that an Arnold Schwarzenegger impression you've been hiding for 49 episodes? Doesn't he say power moves in one of his films? Dunno. Anyway, so I just want to use this opening moment to say thank you to a few people, right, who helped us on our way making this show. So, first of all, I do want to actually thank the comedy a few people, right? Okay. Who helped us on our way in making this show. So, first of all, I do want to actually thank the Comedy Club in Camden.
Starting point is 00:10:47 You know, upstairs above the Camden Head, the one in actual Camden, because they took us on, we were doing the Uncleekables at the very start, which is where Sandling... It used to be Liberty's Bar. It used to be Liberty's Bar,
Starting point is 00:10:56 and then... Years ago. It was originally called Camden Head, and then changed to Liberty's Bar, and then changed back. Why did they do that? Think of the amount of gigs people have missed
Starting point is 00:11:03 because of that one thing. Yeah, remember that audience that went to the one in Angel to come and see our show yeah they booked 20 tickets and then
Starting point is 00:11:09 went to Angel thousands of them weren't there yes and they were all rich yes and they were all
Starting point is 00:11:14 in the industry sort of you know they were they were looking for something to spunk money on yeah we could have been
Starting point is 00:11:20 spunked on every time you hear about riots in London it's nothing to do with race or class it's people not knowing which candidate to go
Starting point is 00:11:26 Paul and Eli review tat yeah right so I wanted to thank them because they took us on they would have asked they would have

Starting point is 00:11:48 outside the house yeah through the window parked outside binoculars right so I also want to thank Brian Wecht

And finally, I wanted to thank Paige Branson, who redesigned our logo when it was just this coffee saying and the print. She was the one who added the anime for us.

Starting point is 00:13:54 55 hours of podcast I've edited. How much editing have you done on this fucking show, ever? Well, you could ask, how much creative input have you put into the show? It's the same answer to, how long have you edited for? Nothing. How much sheer genius? Hello, it's internet pornographer Stuart Ashen here, recording a little message for the anniversary episode of Peep Show, a cheap show.
Starting point is 00:14:19 In many ways, Peep Show is a tragic podcast, and I don't just mean for those listening to it. Its very fabric is woven from the ability to turn human failure into laughter. But the real tragedy is that of co-host Paul Gannon. He's the taller one. Cursed simultaneously by two separate rabid gypsy ladies, Paul is now forever haunted by a grotesque spectre of despondency. Or Eli Silverman, as it's commonly known. Constantly shadowed by this noodle-obsessed wraith,
Starting point is 00:14:48 Paul's only hope of escape lies in engineering a multi-dimensional containment unit to trap Eli. This is why Ghostbusters is less a movie and more of a way of life for him. So on this auspicious day, spare a thought for the only tragedy greater than the price of
Starting point is 00:15:04 shite theme. Right, well that's all the only tragedy greater than the price of shite theme. hashtag thing. Okay. For the 50th, let's get all lots of fans all excited and ask questions. I'm ready. There's not many noodle ones, so already that's a boon. Well, there will be plenty of noodles coming up in the show, everyone. Don't you worry. Is there going to be noodle place content?
Starting point is 00:15:35 There's plenty of noodle content, despite Paul's. Full frontal noodle tea. Oh, that's nice. That is your Edinburgh show title Eli Silverman full frontal noodle tea yeah that's
Starting point is 00:15:49 he just repeated what he said I know it's raining ramen there you go that's good as well I'm liking it that'd be the under that'd be a secondary heading
Starting point is 00:15:57 yeah yeah like the feed line great work you've just got to write the show now what about noodles yeah yeah alright shall we just do
Starting point is 00:16:05 this whole show about noodles no right so first question is from Jordan McKellian or at
Starting point is 00:16:12 napalm jam on twitter says has big papa hamster ever been caught no it was a
Starting point is 00:16:17 misguided funny comical idea that I put together that had no comic value was in bad taste
Starting point is 00:16:23 and misguided no one ever liked so what you've just totally just said the question answered it that had no comic value, was in bad taste, and misguided. No one ever liked. I see. So what? So what? You've just totally just said the question, answered it,
Starting point is 00:16:30 and we're moving on, are we? Yeah, because Big Papa Hamster was a comedic mistake on my part. Can I talk about Big Papa Hamster? Well, Mr. Napalm Jam obviously doesn't think so. Go on. He thinks Big Papa Hamster's got a fucking career.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Why are you keeping that dream alive? Because I like Big Papa Hamster's work a rapist child fondling mouse hamster is that anything to do with wee papa girl rappers
Starting point is 00:16:51 no with a brand new push on on a dancehall style we rule major David Dompley he did try to approach
Starting point is 00:16:59 his people approached the wee papa girl rappers but I think he was under the impression that it was wee wee papa girl rappers and I think he was under the impression that it was wee wee
Starting point is 00:17:05 papa girl rappers and it was some kind of urine golden showers style video idea that he had so I'll tell you what Jordan we'll play along Big Papa Hams

Starting point is 00:22:38 Yesterday? Yes. I've got hand sanitiser. I have washed my hands. If by washing your hands you mean holding my nuts, then yes yeah right so
Starting point is 00:22:48 good that's that out of the way no that's not that out of the way we need to get through these there's quite a lot I'd like to be reasonably poor
Starting point is 00:22:55 yeah there was a question wasn't there at the end Eli Brand Noodles yes you're talking about your Barry Norman pickled eggs

Starting point is 00:24:03 Simply says, you've made it to 50 episodes. What are your future plans? Do you see yourselves doing 100? We didn't see ourselves doing 50. We really didn't. But now I think we're going to get to 100 a lot quicker. Because we have made... We're going to make 50 small episodes out of this.
Starting point is 00:24:17 We've made a pledge to our donators on Patreon. Oh, and Patreon. Patreon. Patreon. Mmm. Mmm. I got it wrong didn't I Paul yes
Starting point is 00:24:25 mmm word salad what was your pledge to make three episodes a month yeah and we've managed to just about achieve that
Starting point is 00:24:33 so we can in fact yeah give you the actual month and year when the 50th 100th episode will be out
Starting point is 00:24:41 and that is let me do the maths very quickly in my head go on it is so what's what's 50 divided by 3 it's 50 divided by 3
Starting point is 00:24:55 it's 15 16 this doesn't help me do the maths boom go on This doesn't help me do the match. Boom. Go on. In about a year and a half time. I'm sorry, Mr. Silverman.
Starting point is 00:25:11 You failed the audition for Countdown. We're going to have to get someone else in. I could be in the corner. You would be the naughty corner. Eli, what is the date for the 100th? Just make anything up. Just make anything off. Just make anything off. It'll be in February of 2019.
Starting point is 00:25:30 Right, great. That's too far. You know what? Make it Valentine's Day. Yeah. What's 12 times 3? No, it will be. In fact, I intuitively fucking got it right. If you're mocking and you're distractions, the brain's still working. It's working, even on a subconscious level
Starting point is 00:25:46 I'm doing maths. I genuinely don't know if 12 times 3 is a rhetorical question or if he genuinely wants us to answer The thing is it's still not the answer is it? No That's 36 It gives you 36
Starting point is 00:26:01 What's the answer? You can't just say 36 So 36 will be this month next year which is what month in August. What are you saying? What does that mean? You're going all
Starting point is 00:26:10 gunning on us. You've just said 36 will be this month next year. That isn't a sentence. Your reverse engineering 11 plus question. Ted and Margaret
Starting point is 00:26:20 have got a blue dog but Fred has a red dog. If Harry turns up what colour is his cap have you seen how many questions we've got to get 36
Starting point is 00:26:27 let's just end that one with 36 will be this month next year Flory the answer's 36 right doesn't matter 36
Starting point is 00:26:36 so you do 100 doesn't matter doesn't matter Flory all I can say 86 doesn't matter Florian all I can say just to clear up any I can't answer
Starting point is 00:26:51 your main question but let me say August next year episode 86 will be about this time next year and that is a fact that is a fact
Starting point is 00:27:01 are you planning to make more for it can we move on can we move on can we move on yes come on Paul right

Starting point is 00:28:39 on that that was 3 quid he wanted 4 and I lied said but I've already got 3 that was the priciest thing that's a nice item I've paid got three and that was the priciest thing
Starting point is 00:28:45 that's a nice item I've paid Crossrail it was a Crossrail commemorative viewfinder to celebrate the opening of the London train
Starting point is 00:28:53 and it was in black with Crossrail logo on it and everything I've sometimes from second hand charity shops got VHS tapes for free because they're like
Starting point is 00:29:01 25p and I didn't have anything smaller than a five and they're like I can't afford the changes to have it not realising that it's probably worth
Starting point is 00:29:06 like 20 quid really some stuff you know like not now because no one wants VHS but there's things which were like there's a Salvation
Starting point is 00:29:13 Army near me Salvation Army near me that has almost a complete wall of VHS they had a film on there that didn't know existed starring Dustin Hoffman
Starting point is 00:29:21 basically it's called Agatha about the story of when she goes missing Michael Apted right yeah they had that about the story of when she goes missing. It's Michael Apted, right? Yeah, they had that on VHS. Yeah, because she went missing for 11 days.
Starting point is 00:29:31 It's a good story. Doctor Who found that was to do with bees. Right, so... What? We don't want to talk about Doctor Who. It's one of the weaker episodes we've got. Yeah, right. So, have you bought anything that was cheap but cost a lot, Eli?
Starting point is 00:29:42 Yeah, that... Paolo Icomuni. That sounds like a prostitute. I can't remember. Paolo, this record. Right. By an Italian, Paolo. Have you played it on the show?
Starting point is 00:29:56 No. We'll play it on a show. Yes. Anyway, it was 50p. Yeah. Worth at least 26 quid. But then I lost the picture sleeve whilst DJing and it's my
Starting point is 00:30:06 eternal chagrin and also probably the most expensive piece of tat was that space age emerald rhythm
Starting point is 00:30:16 Japanese alarm clock oh god yeah that was a tenner that was a lovely bit of objet d'art it's very nice very nice
Starting point is 00:30:23 I like space age stuff in answer to your question and wrap it up is that Florian or David no that was a lovely bit of objet d'art it's very nice very nice I like space age stuff in answer to your question and wrap it up is that Florian or David no that was Stevie Stevie
Starting point is 00:30:30 Kitty Cat Eli you're a smoker from Alex Walsh I have heard that just sounds like a judgement not a question as I have heard
Starting point is 00:30:41 you mentioned something about tobacco in a podcast but I'm not sure not really a question. Am I a smoker, is he asking? Yeah. Yes.
Starting point is 00:30:48 I wish I wasn't. Shame. Alex, you had all the questions in the world and you went with that one. Jordan Baldry. They want to know about the new show of my life because they love me, Paul. That's why. All right, cool. So Jordan Baldry says, what's the worst tale on the dance floor?
Starting point is 00:31:00 And I'll fold this into our Tales from the Dance Floor segment of the show. So we have to record it separately later. So it's time for Tales from the Dance Floor. After this. Just do a quick Tales from the Dance Floor segment of the show so we don't have to record it separately later. So, it's time for Tales from the Dance Floor. Don't we have more questions after this? Just do a quick Tales from the Dance Floor though now. I'm not ready. I've got a whole Tales from the Dance Floor bit. In that case, Jordan, we'll just do that one instead.

What's my all-time favourite supermarket knock-off? Yeah. I'll tell you what it is. What? I used to work down by what was known as Ken's Bollock,

Starting point is 00:31:51 and large sirloins and it was they were 50p they were reduced you know these are like eight pound items they were reduced
Starting point is 00:31:58 and I went I went bananas and I bought all sorts of stuff and that bananas I had a great score that day but then over the months
Starting point is 00:32:06 you'd go at that time people started to clock it you know what I mean there used to be huddles and people with several baskets full of shit can I ask have I just encountered
Starting point is 00:32:14 your happiest memory ever it seemed like it someone's lit up I've never seen his eyes that alive before it's good to buy cheap steak isn't it mate he's murder though

Starting point is 00:32:30 of chocolate with rice crisps on the bottom oh my fucking god it's so nice Aldi is strong on chocolate 36p Audis and Lidl's used to do
Starting point is 00:32:37 they had these like sort of like four tiny bars in a sort of four or five tiny bars in a thing that was like 125 or 90p
Starting point is 00:32:44 or something they used to have one which was praline but they don't seem to do that anymore neither do they have like you have white chocolate
Starting point is 00:32:50 milk chocolate dark chocolate white chocolate and like one with biscuits in it but the praline one seems to have gone I don't know where it's gone
Starting point is 00:32:55 and I want it to come back if you're listening to me I want it to come back more praline more praline praline is a lovely thing isn't it more praline

Starting point is 00:33:11 marvellous mirth you know marvellous mirth he's the guy who did our app which has been updated as of this recording so you can download it now to only android phones but you can get it
Starting point is 00:33:20 worst fan experience he asks it was him it was you it was you mate it was you mate it was you mate coming to our buddy show pissed off your head
Starting point is 00:33:28 completely pissed completely pissed and then dropping a a beetle on the floor that someone had paid money to and just swearing
Starting point is 00:33:37 doing that kind of heckle you know just swearing like yeah but he then did do you an act yeah so you know swings and roundabouts swings and roundabouts yeah swearing. Yeah. Like. Yeah. Yeah. But he then did do you an app. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:45 So you know. Yeah. Swings and roundabouts. Yeah. Was that the worst heckle we've had? Yeah it was I think. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:53 I don't know. That was the worst heckle we've had. Haven't done that many live shows and it's hard to know we're for heckling when you do shows at Comic Con
Starting point is 00:33:59 because it's like a huge air shelter with a big booming and it's just all a bit weird. The worst heckle we had from the last Comic Con was the show in the next room
Starting point is 00:34:08 just we could just hear that yeah yeah Martin Harder asks is that an instruction or is that
Starting point is 00:34:16 well can I ask the question before you immaturely immaturely jump in yeah Martin Harder he's a power bottom yeah
Starting point is 00:34:24 he asks grow yeah he asks grow up he asks what's the strangest place either of you have put your penises oh I see Mr Harder
Starting point is 00:34:32 Harder aren't you funny on Facebook the strangest place I've ever put my penis in a lady that's not strange it's rare
Starting point is 00:34:40 there's a subtle difference no it's a big difference scarcity scarcity and strangeness. I've seen you guys grow over it, because you didn't say it in a tramp's face. And I feel like you've both grown up over 50 episodes. Disappointing. Disappointing.
Starting point is 00:34:53 We've mellowed. The edge is gone. What have I done with my joke? Oh, perfect. I have put it in a raw chicken. Oh, what's wrong with you? It was not a wreck a wreck and I was acting at the time
Starting point is 00:35:06 so there's the little caveat to that acting I did acting up I mean I've read
Starting point is 00:35:12 I've read a lot of plays I did an experimental video for the BBC about a year and a half ago and it involved you fucking a chicken they were testing out this interactive
Starting point is 00:35:22 technology and it was sort of a cooking show. And one of the options ended up with me fucking the chicken. I had to get naked. Yeah, I know. I literally had to. I saw it. You saw it.
Starting point is 00:35:35 So, it's true. Yeah. So, beat that, anyone here. I don't want to. I don't. Meat is murder. Meat rape is murder rape, mate. All right. I will answer that. That's the name of the video. I don't. Meat is murder. Meat rape is murder rape, mate.
Starting point is 00:35:45 All right. I will answer that. That's the name of the video. I will answer that. Dog's mouth. And we'll move on. Okay. No one needs to know anything about that.
Starting point is 00:35:54 Vin Fort, who you're on his podcast. I mean, I wish I could join in this conversation. I'm afraid it's incredibly pedestrian. So Vin tweeted in
Starting point is 00:36:03 to say, in 50 episodes, what's the grimiest filthiest cheap eats and he looks forward to more noodles and Ghostbusters talk what's the worst cheap eats
Starting point is 00:36:11 we've had I think honestly I mean I can only guess but judging by your reaction the squid flavoured jelly bean yeah that was any of the jelly beans
Starting point is 00:36:20 they are disgusting anything fish based is a real touch and go isn't it not that I've done the podcast but whenever I've done the podcast but whenever I've had you go to like a
Starting point is 00:36:28 Korean or Japanese restaurant or shop you go oh that looks incredible I'll have the prawn snack because I like skips and then you realise that there's a certain
Starting point is 00:36:37 sadism to the flavouring that is not about enjoyment my friends were saying they had some authentic Thai food the other day and it was like they have a kind of fermented shrimp paste that they use. And they said it was a bit too much of it.
Starting point is 00:36:52 It was a bit, yeah, like death mouth. Death mouth. Yeah, sea death mouth. Basically eating garlic to try and get rid of the horror of the taste. I think the worst thing was the fish sausage. Yeah, which you didn't know was a fish sausage and could have killed me if I'd eaten it.
Starting point is 00:37:06 Oh God, I'm allergic to fish. Oh, I'm sorry, fucking concerning about my life. I'm allergic to fish, read Vaginophobic.
Starting point is 00:37:14 What the fuck? It's a massive leap. I can tell you now, I am a massive fan of vaginas. Okay.
Starting point is 00:37:20 And when I meet one, we get on famously. All right. Yeah. All you need to fucking worry about me is that me and a fanny, we're like best of
Starting point is 00:37:27 friends, driving Miss Daisy. I don't doubt it. I don't know why I dropped that film reference in. It felt appropriate. I don't doubt it. Fish sausage, you answered your question. I've got more questions. That's it.
Starting point is 00:37:37 Oh, that's it? There's a few more, but I skipped them because I want to save them for a proper episode. A saucisson. A saucisson. Is this not a proper episode? No. This is all a dream. Paul, are you going to... I'm not recording any of this. Get in a huff. Get in a h episode. A saucy song. A saucy song. Is this not a proper episode? No. This is all a dream. Paul, are you going to...
Starting point is 00:37:47 I'm not recording any of this. Get in a huff. Get in a huff. No! Put this in the bin. No! All right, good. Right, we're going to move swiftly on.

There should be a word. This is basically Split, the podcast version of Split. This is Fight Club. There should be a word for neither, but with three. Thriver, I'm saying. Thriver. Three, though.
Starting point is 00:39:18 That's my first... Three, though. Neither. Neither. Neither. Neither. Good. Neither of you will get three.
Starting point is 00:39:23 Neither of you. Yeah, all right. Very good. We've got it Hashtag Neither Hashtag copyright Yeah
Starting point is 00:39:29 So for Today Right Was that Indian impression necessary? We'll start with something positive We'll start with something positive Oh well bugger me A positive tells from the dance floor
Starting point is 00:39:39 I've shit me kecks guv So the other night I was DJing I won't mention the name of the spot But Why are you looking smug telling this story? I'm just getting into it Alright okay Shit me cats, Gov. So, the other night I was DJing. I won't mention the name of the spot, but... Why are you looking smug telling this story? I'm just getting into it. All right, okay. It's a very exciting night.
Starting point is 00:39:51 I DJ in between the bands. In between the bands. So the first band came on. And I'm outside. Having a fag. Having a fag. And the manager comes up to me and goes, Eli, they're a bit slow.
Starting point is 00:40:03 What I need you to do... A band? Yeah. Like remedial no come on they don't know how to play underpowered oh
Starting point is 00:40:10 I think he meant the overall yes the overall low key tempo of the songs okay right and it was Saturday night and he was afraid
Starting point is 00:40:18 that everyone would leave after the band which happens when you get a low energy band in that place so yes
Starting point is 00:40:24 he said to me Eli I need you to really smack them with it as soon as the band, which happens when you get a low energy band in that place. He said to me, Eli, I need you to really smack them with it as soon as the band finishes. He said, play three Bobby Dazzlers in a row. Okay? And then he also said, put the pressure on a bit more, he said,
Starting point is 00:40:39 I'll look at the audience ten minutes after they finish. If they're all still there, then you're doing your job. Alright. But that's impossible because almost they would have made their minds up well before you would even start playing your set. But the idea being
Starting point is 00:40:51 that a DJ the calibre of Eli will, through a musical choice, be able to keep people... That's the whole point of having a DJ like Eli on
Starting point is 00:41:00 is that you keep the vibe... It's like having an MC after a terrible act. The MC goes back on and raises the level of the room it is my job however I was slightly
Starting point is 00:41:09 the MC I was slightly irked because it's like yeah that's what I do anyway that's what I try and you know play tunes that everyone likes that's my job mate
Starting point is 00:41:18 it's my job mate you almost shouldn't notice that I'm doing this because it's seamless you know what I mean but he's obviously scared you know he wants the night to go well of your masculinity he wants the night to go well You almost shouldn't notice that I'm doing this because it's seamless. You know what I mean? But he's obviously scared. You know, he wants the night to go well. Of your masculinity.
Starting point is 00:41:27 He wants the night to go well. Play three Bobby Dazzlers. I also didn't like his use of Bobby Dazzler to refer to a tune. Because it sounds too much like Bobby Davro to me. Play three Bobby Davros. Imagine I had misheard him and I quickly downloaded the Bobby Davro discography. I bet he has got an album as well. So,
Starting point is 00:41:45 I was slightly irked by that. For a price. But today, but today, I got a little text from the promoter who said that the manager had said
Starting point is 00:41:54 I did really well. Oh. That's nice. So nice. I was hoping it was going to be you did too well. What were the three Bobby Dazzlers?
Starting point is 00:42:00 I played the, what's that song called? Do you know what I mean? When you DJ for a while, the thing that happens is you just look at the record. You're not even cognizant
Starting point is 00:42:12 of the name of the record or the artist. It's that one. You know what I mean? You just look at the label. It's that one. So this is... Sounds like a lie.
Starting point is 00:42:22 What's that one? Yeah, that really good one, isn't it? Yeah, what's that one with the music that sounds like what's it go like oh god I can't even remember how it goes
Starting point is 00:42:30 this segment's falling apart mate you've ruined this anyway the second tune I played was Land of a Thousand Dances by Wilson Pickett
Starting point is 00:42:37 and then I played Shout no Shout you say for later because that's a proper Dazzler that's a proper Bobby Dazzler that's a proper Bobby Dazzler
Starting point is 00:42:46 Lulu's shout yeah you want to play Lulu's shout when they've already started to put their arms in the air and wave them about
Starting point is 00:42:51 it's not a dance floor filler it's a dance floor killer yes thank you it's not something to bring them on they want to be on already
Starting point is 00:42:58 warmed up the juice is flowing the dance floor juice is flowing already and then you fuck them then you fucking you fuck them with shout. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:06 You power bottom them with shout. So, I play... Is it called the Ring Ring Song? The Bell Song? Ring Ring Bell Song? The Ring Ring Bell Song. The wheels on the bus go round and round and round. Come on, if you played that right between two Bobby Dazzlers.
Starting point is 00:43:26 The Ring Ring Bells. And the third song I think is Do You Like Good Music by Arthur Connors. Oh, nice music. Which is, works, okay? So, there they are. Anyway, that was a little positive thing. And a girl came to me at the end of that night. She said, can you play Repetite by Jackie Wilson?
Starting point is 00:43:41 Yes, I do. Yes, I can. Wow. I'm happy to help you there. And I'm in no way going to smirk at you or be in any way negative about this. I played it. It went down. Brilliant.
Starting point is 00:43:51 And then she came and she asked for another one. Band of Gold by Frida Payne. Did you then tell her to fuck off? No, I played that. What? This is unheard of. Two requests. Genuinely unheard of.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Eli's got a twinkle in his eye. I know. Two requests. And then... He does. He looks younger. He does. Genuinely unheard of. Eli's got a twinkle in his eye. I know. Two requests and then... He does. He looks younger. He does look younger. Eli has... Everything that's been building up has been ageing him.
Starting point is 00:44:12 I think you might be Bobby Dazzler. Yeah. And then... Hello ladies and gentlemen, I'm Bobby Dazzler. At the end I played a song and she came up and said, what's that? What was... What's that? That came on by accident.
Starting point is 00:44:23 I'm sorry. So she said, what was that song? Which is the ultimate... Come on, Mike. Yeah. Well, I wish it wasn't. Oh. It's a compliment, though, to a DJ.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Go, oh, I haven't heard that before. What is that song? And what was it? I need this in my life. It's the theme to Cheers. That was I'm a Good Woman by... I Could Be So Good For You by Dennis Waterman. That was it.
Starting point is 00:44:44 I Could Be So Good For You by Dennis Waterman. That was it. It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it. I could be so good for you. Banana rubber. But on the negative side. Oh no. Now let's go to... You should have started
Starting point is 00:44:52 with the negative and ended on the positive. The dark side of... I'm so up. I don't want to be down. No, don't worry. This will really bum you out. So...
Starting point is 00:45:00 Oh no. That'll bum me out. The dark side of Tales from the... Right. There's a song out so oh no the power bummed me out from the dark side of tales from the dance floor right there's a song out by Justin Bieber now
Starting point is 00:45:10 do you know what this song is called no yes it's called Despacito and I had in two nights
Starting point is 00:45:15 I had about five requests for Despacito even though I'm in an old school soul and funk and R&B even Justin Bieber
Starting point is 00:45:23 doesn't play Despacito because he doesn't actually know the words that's true and Desposito because he doesn't actually know the words. That's true. And this was asked unironically. Yeah they're just
Starting point is 00:45:29 like can you play Desposito and they had a real hunger for Desposito in their eyes. Is it Abberish? It sounds like an Abber song.
Starting point is 00:45:35 Do you know what it is? La la la la Desposito. It's a shameless cynical as all fuck attempt not even attempt
Starting point is 00:45:44 successful attempt to break into the Latin American market it's the Ricky Martin thing yeah because it worked out well for Ricky Martin they were Spanish a lot of the girls
Starting point is 00:45:52 asking for it yeah oh played hello played can you play oh please please can you play
Starting point is 00:46:03 yeah so his next song is completely in Chinese Despacito Despacito oh please please can you play Eli yeah so or 12 off Spanish his next song is completely in Chinese yeah so it's
Starting point is 00:46:11 it's obviously so I kept I was like no I'm not going to play Despacito I already knew about it because one of my DJ friends pre-warned me
Starting point is 00:46:18 that he has to fucking play it at least I'm in the kind of venue where I you know I'd lose my job if I played it I couldn't play it can I
Starting point is 00:46:23 to end this no we're not ending it now because I'm still talking I've got an I'd lose my job if I played it. I couldn't play it. Can I end this? No, we're not ending it now because I'm still talking. I've got an aside before we get too far. I've just found
Starting point is 00:46:29 Bobby Davro sings your song so I just want to play a little bit of that. Oh my God, he's singing it in the silence. It's weird, there is a thing, because when he does impressions he signifies it by putting a different hat on. That doesn't come across when he's singing.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Here's the best bit. Oh, he sounds like he's heavily sedated on morphine. I think he might's heavily sedated on morphine. I think he might be heavily sedated. I think he's getting Elton John confused with Joe Longthorne. 80s reference there that a lot of the audience... Anyway, your negative story. So, that was pretty negative.
Starting point is 00:47:20 We needed the Davro break. I had to say no and they gave me that look that people do when they ask for something and you sort of go, fucking no way. We needed the Davro break. I had to say no, and they gave me that look that people do when they ask for something, and you sort of go, fucking no way. Yeah. My mouth was saying no, sorry, but my face was saying, I have to tell me yes! Who the fuck are you?
Starting point is 00:47:34 Yeah? Who the fuck are you? That's what my voice was saying. Fuck off out of here. So you didn't play Justin Bieber. Desposito. But it prompted me to actually go and check out Desposito and it was several degrees worse than I thought it was going to be.
Starting point is 00:47:49 It's a fucking unbearably shit, cynical, horrible record. He genuinely can't play it live because he doesn't know the words. Really? I don't think it can be any worse than the Rihanna song Work which I heard recently
Starting point is 00:48:01 and there's not even a tune or music or words she just has like a four year old mumbling Richard has officially just become mid-aged it's true it's not even
Starting point is 00:48:12 it's not even noise it's not even it's not even it's not even anything to it it's just noise isn't it not even it's not even interesting enough
Starting point is 00:48:20 to be noise ladies and gentlemen welcome to a new segment of Cheap Show old men complain about modern music so desposito honestly paul though
Starting point is 00:48:27 desposito you'd lipo you'd lipo so now you're referencing racist goon songs yeah actually i was
Starting point is 00:48:35 trying to reference abba and chicken tikka you'd lipo that's what i that's what i thought the song was for the longest time
Starting point is 00:48:40 that's what i thought the song was for the longest time paul you know you're not asleep now you're awake what's the difference like if I stab you
Starting point is 00:48:50 nothing will happen to me in the real world in real life I will so if I right now stab you I will hurt there'll be no effect
Starting point is 00:48:56 because this is a dream I bleed I hurt so to everyone so don't ask for despisee oh everyone if you're in the
Starting point is 00:49:04 wrong venue okay and in fact don't ask for itosito, everyone, if you're in the wrong venue, okay? And in fact, don't ask for it anywhere. It makes you look uncool. It makes you look uncool. And Eli don't like that. He don't like uncool. Make sure you ask for Rumours by Fleetwood Mac instead. Always.
Starting point is 00:49:19 That's a close second. Anyway, but I told you, I mean, I must have done it on one other The Dance Floor, but someone asked for Fleet sleep with Mac and then said, my friend died four years ago, and we're all here to celebrate or whatever, to mourn, and you won't play
Starting point is 00:49:33 that song, and gave me a look like I'd fucking killed her. Is it my fault for not owning a copy? Yeah. Fuck you. Right. You can go your own way mate oh no no don't do that
Starting point is 00:49:49 wasn't worth that so what's coming up next Paul well hello this is me John from the unexplainers sometimes known as Eggsy from GLC 50 episodes
Starting point is 00:50:06 of the cheap show 50 one more than 49 and one less than 51 great stuff can I go can I go? Can I go now?
Starting point is 00:50:35 It's now time to go back to Paul Gannon's throth shop. Ooh. Ding-a-ling-a-ling, entering the throth shop. Oh, I like that. I like that. That's our new jingle. Ooh, hello, Mr. Paul, Mr. Gannon. Hello. No, you're not going to be creepy.

Starting point is 00:51:40 this is officially the creepiest moment from 1995 no shopkeepers will ever look like this. Oh, mate, I want this to be a dream so bad. Poor, what have we got in the first shop? Today?
Starting point is 00:51:52 Stop it. I can see your penis. No. Let me dib-dab your sherbet. Fuck off. Oh, come on. Come on. You behave.
Starting point is 00:52:01 You behave. You behave. Do I have to leave the shop? Am I going to get spanking again yes alright don't wait to put the microphone down oh sorry
Starting point is 00:52:09 alright come on get it out I have the microphone in the froth shop oh Mr Gannon I have heard good things about the froth shop yes well the froth shop
Starting point is 00:52:19 is now open oh this is good and it's going to be super good Alice Clar has to on Google Schreiber hold on you've done German German's I have It's going to be super good. Alles klar? Hast du ein Kugelschreiber? Hold on. You've done German. Germans don't have sweets.
Starting point is 00:52:28 I'm going to do... Japanese. I'm going to be a Chinese guy. Yeah, go on, do that. Hello. I've studied for quite a long time in England, but I am... Oh. Oh, very, very good.
Starting point is 00:52:38 I spent a lot of time in international schools. I'm actually Malaysian. Get it out, Paul. Right, it is time for Froth Shop. Now, last time we were at the Froth Shop, we bought a load of Bobby's sweets, didn't we? A large selection of sweet candies for a cheap price. Fizzy orange and lemon and lime sherbet little sweets.
Starting point is 00:52:55 This is my voice now, I think, I believe, for this sweet shop. Also, I believe in our sweet shop, we tackled some creamy chocolate bars. A bit too creamy. Strawberry milkshake. Didn't agree with me. how did it agree with you? I didn't like it very much. No, strawberry laces tip top though, what what? And
Starting point is 00:53:09 finally we also had some horrible Double Dare's jelly beans which were quite repulsive. They weren't Bobbies though were they? They turned out they were, they are Bobbies but it's like the other brand that makes that kind of stuff. Really? Yes. Knobbies. Knobbies. So we went back to Bob's and we've decided
Starting point is 00:53:25 to review their cut price budget potato crisps. I'm guessing there'll be some maze based snacks as well. Well, spoilers alert. Yes. Here we go. First one out is, we're going to start with a classic. It's Bobby's Big Snack Onion Rings 39p. Oh, I love a shit onion ring. So do I. Genuinely do. Shit onion ring, shit frazzles. So, let's pick one each and go round. You take one out. For now. For now.
Starting point is 00:53:55 For now. Alright. They're all ending there. They'll all be vegetarian, won't they? That's excellent news. Let's describe this. Now, it's... Oh, are they? That's acceptable for vegetarian. That's excellent news. Vegetable... Let's describe this.
Starting point is 00:54:08 Now, it's a classic sort of maize-based onion ring, but they're quite orangey. Good smell. Mmm. Very orangey aroma. And they've got quite... Not an orangey aroma, is it, Paul? It's oniony. Oniony.
Starting point is 00:54:18 Sorry. And we're waiting to eat, and... All right, here we go. Oh, good crunch. Quite a very good crunch. The texture's very good. Good texture, good smell. I like... Good first impression. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:30 Can I say something outrageous? I like a slightly stale texture. So it's a little bit kind of... Al gonte. Chewy. Yeah, yeah. Al gonte. These cheap ones are very good for that. Going a bit soft is what you like it with a bit soft. You like it a bit soft in the mouth. That is a good onion ring. It's very nice nice it's a very good onion ring yeah 39p from bobby's or any
Starting point is 00:54:48 good sweet shop uh especially uh paul gannon's thrift shop where i stack all the things that we eat on this show you know this reminds me if my girlfriend goes away and my eyes are bigger than my belly because i'm not there's not a lot of like horrible food like bad junk food in the house she goes away I buy ice cream I buy them I buy bags of sweets and like an hour after she's left I can't eat it anymore
Starting point is 00:55:12 and I'm full of regret and then when she comes back I'm hungry for all that stuff again aww what a wonderful tableau yeah so summing up what did you think of that onion ring?
Starting point is 00:55:22 er absolutely tipped off very nice very nice for 40p that'd be like you can't you know also you can't argue but it's So summing up, what did you think of that onion ring? Absolutely tipped off. Very nice. For 4TP that would be like, you can't argue. I think if that was, because I've had good quality onion ring crisps, that to me is just as good, genuinely. So I'm going to rate it out of 5.
Starting point is 00:55:39 There's texture, there's substance to it. It's got a crunch, it's got a very potent oniony flavour. It's not all air like a lot of things are. They'll just be sort of essentially hollow. Follow them on Twitter, at Bobby's Foods. Basically it's as good as the American Funyun. Oooh! That's very interesting. As featured in Breaking Bad. Yes. They are extremely Moorish Funyuns.
Starting point is 00:55:58 Okay. And you get the Red Hot Funyuns, which I believe we've tasted on one of our shows. We've tasted Hot Funyuns, yes. Have you ever had those, Richard? I haven't. I haven't, no, but I'm saying they Funyuns, yes. Have you ever had those, Richard? I haven't. I haven't, no, but I'm saying they sound incredible. They are. They are hot.
Starting point is 00:56:08 Spicy, spicy onion rings. That is a genuinely good crisp. Yeah. Bobbies don't fuck around, mate. They don't. They don't mess around. Let's go quickly round the room. I'm going to give it four out of five.
Starting point is 00:56:20 I'll give it four. Richard, out of five. I was saying four, but I don't really know how it could be any better. Don't be afraid. So I'm going to say five, because I can't not... It may be that the other Chris will be tastier than this, but I can't fault this onion ring at all.
Starting point is 00:56:34 I would say a Monster Munch beef is a five. That's good. Good calibration. That's a nice benchmark. Well played. And I'm saying that... I mean, I'd eat a bag of Monster Munch beef over that, so that's a four. It's a very strong four. It's a four. It's a four benchmark well played and I'm saying that I mean I'd eat a bag of Monster Munch beef over that
Starting point is 00:56:46 so that's a four it's a very strong four it's a four it's a four it's an extremely high score I mean I don't know how we're going to get I'm thinking more
Starting point is 00:56:53 in terms of like instead of comparison you can't criticise it on it's own merits is why I'm giving it a five but I think Frith's logic is impeccable I'll tell you what
Starting point is 00:57:03 for balance I'll give it five everyone goes home with a little less guilt. All right, fine, Paul. Five. A little less crisp. But do Smiths,
Starting point is 00:57:11 do like the big boys, have a version? Tesco do a good one, but it's a bit too oily. I like oily food. Yeah, see, that hasn't got a sort of grease finish.
Starting point is 00:57:19 It's got a very light, crunchy, This is going to be such a fucking pain in the arse to edit. You don't need to. Anyway, so I dropped Cag in there for a bit, sorry. The next one on the list.
Starting point is 00:57:28 Why do you have to talk like that? It's a carrot now for my thrift shop. You're just going to have to roll with it, all right? All right. So in Bobby's thrift shop next, we have Bobby's cheesy curlers. I think we can all agree we're going to have to compare them to the Wotsit. So already we do have a benchmark in terms of flavour consistency. It's essentially a knock-off
Starting point is 00:57:46 Watsit. You see, but with the onion rings, there's no really famous onion rings. There is no quintessential onion ring. But they do have it in the States, as we discussed, Funyuns. And do you know what? They I'm not saying that was nicer than a market leader. I don't want to say that those onion rings are nicer than
Starting point is 00:58:01 actual onion rings, but considering how shit real onion rings are in restaurants and greasy and they're just like one bit of a tater and it all slides out that's actually better than restaurant onion rings like most restaurant onion rings unless you actually get a really good one Phenomenal Bobby, Phenomenal Cheesy curls, Wotsits They look like Wotsits or Cheetos
Starting point is 00:58:20 They do look like Wotsits, little poofs Are you eating them with a pin? Yes, but I am delicate. So, we're already eating them, so let's... I haven't checked, they're vegetarian, hold on. Are vegetarian. What's your first impression there, Paul? They taste exactly like Wotsits.
Starting point is 00:58:36 No, they don't. They are saltier and less cheesy than Wotsits. Okay, yes, I would agree with you on that. I don't really eat Wotsits all that much, so I don't really know how to... I don't have a sort of I don't have a muscle memory sense memory of Watsits so we're going in clean
Starting point is 00:58:49 with Richard's view what's your view they're nice but if I was ever if I was ever having anything cheesy it would usually be cheesy Cheetos
Starting point is 00:58:54 or like the more sort of harsher you know crispier or like knick knacks basically that's what the original
Starting point is 00:59:02 Cheetos were weren't they they were cheese knick knacks and you don't get those anymore, do you? You see Cheetos, yes. You see Cheetos, and they've got all like pizza twirls and like spirals, all this shit. And they don't have a proper knick-knack, cheesy knick-knack. But, you know what I found, Paul, which will be coming to the froth shop?
Starting point is 00:59:20 Ooh. Fonzies. Fonzies what? They are what Cheetos used to be they're knickknacks essentially corn based knickknacks um i'm just going to stop proceedings here to let you know ash has found what could be the largest what's it i've ever seen there's a mutant what's it incident it's a fucking snake of a whatatsit. Don't destroy that. Have you got a good photo of it?
Starting point is 00:59:46 Yeah. All right. I've caught that. I have got a 10-year-old son. Yeah. So 90% of the food I eat is Watsits. Oh, yes. We need your...
Starting point is 00:59:55 Well, in that case, you can be the market leader. This is a cheap alternative. It is. It definitely is. It's saltier and less cheesy and sort of less soft. The texture is slightly different. It's not that crunch it's got the
Starting point is 01:00:06 onion ring crunch it might be more overall palatable than a Wattie trying to be more objective because I would never ordinarily go for
Starting point is 01:00:14 a cheesy snack I prefer savour by savoury actually like if I'm going to have cheese I'd rather have cheese and everything else
Starting point is 01:00:21 I'd rather have flavours mate Fonzie's you'd like I'm sure honestly nice it was nice lovely if they were in a bowl on a table at a gathering cheese and everything else are rather our flavours. Mate Fonzie's you'd like. I'm sure. Honestly. Nice. It was nice. Lovely. If they were in a
Starting point is 01:00:27 bowl on a table at a gathering I wouldn't be at the gathering but the people would enjoy those crisps. They'd be demolished. Look out for Fonzie's
Starting point is 01:00:34 on this show people. Alright. We're going to get Fonzie's. Okay. Eli's Fonzie scheme. Nice. There we go.
Starting point is 01:00:43 He's got a lot of titles. It's like it's more puns when Richard's here yeah it's very Tony show nothing else no substance
Starting point is 01:00:49 so out of five I'm going to give that three and a half I'll go for a three yeah three from me not unpleasant a good three
Starting point is 01:00:56 a positive three but not really C plus it's Edinburgh so I'm going to give it a three star that reads like a four star okay
Starting point is 01:01:04 next since we've got some kind of context we'll go with these next these are Bobby's Bacon Streep I'm going to give it a three star that reads like a four star. Okay. Next. Since we've got some kind of context, we'll go with these next. These are Bobby's Bacon Streaks. Oh, now you're talking. Yes. This is where the big boys come out, ladies and gentlemen. So these little things are the lifeblood that keep me going. Like the thought of maybe this is what bacon actually tastes like.
Starting point is 01:01:21 Unfortunately for you, these are loaded with pig. Are they actually? No, it's suitable for vegetarians. You are all right. So, in the UK, we have a frazzle, which is a maize bacon-flavoured snack. Frazzle has gone downhill.
Starting point is 01:01:33 As we have, I mean, we're getting a lot of support. As the E-numbers are eradicated, things like the pot noodle, which originally was a much more enjoyable snack, then no artificial ingredients well that's why i don't want to eat it now it's just bland my feeling is that these would be more like an original frazzle we could only hope so for me again ideally served between
Starting point is 01:01:56 two pieces of very buttery bread oh yeah i mean they look like a frazzle they look like fake bacon in a maze style here um i'm getting bored of doing this voice. Oh my God. Can't you just stick with one thing? No. My relationship history proves otherwise. There's a slightly odd and bacon-y smell. Slightly. Not horrible, but it's almost like five spice.
Starting point is 01:02:19 I've got a word for these. They're underpowered. There isn't enough flavouring on this at all. What about if I put the bag on the tray? Oh yeah. I don't think flavouring on this at all. What about if I give the bag a little shake? Oh yeah. I don't think that's going to improve it. Awful. I'm getting too much corn coming through.
Starting point is 01:02:34 Bit too salty. But again, not unpleasant. I mean they are even further away from the original frazzle than a contemporary frazzle. I've given them a shake, let me give them a try. I'm not going to stop eating them. I mean they're not unpleasant, are they? No. The shake has helped.
Starting point is 01:02:48 The shake, you should try them after a shake. All right, I'm going to give them after a shake. Can I just say, just so you know, this is not only a statement of the show, but it's also your rider for tonight. So... Right, I've given them a shake now. For example, you can get...
Starting point is 01:02:59 In Aldi's do a big bag of sort of faux frazzles. And they're, like, amazing. But they're not... The shake made a big difference. Did it? they're like amazing but they're not the shape made a big difference did it they're still not they're still large
Starting point is 01:03:09 it's sort of salt like you get from bacon but not a bacon taste like you get from bacon it's like bacon rind if you want to
Starting point is 01:03:16 look for like what a frazzle used to be like you have to go to the triumphant of smith's bar snacks scampi fries
Starting point is 01:03:23 cheese moments and the crispy are they not veggie life is pain I am in front of Smith's bar snacks. Scampi fries. Oh. Cheese moments. I can't. And the crispy are they not veggie? Oh. Life is pain. Those original yeah those
Starting point is 01:03:31 are they called originals? I think so but those those crunchy lumps. Those are bacon as fuck.
Starting point is 01:03:37 Okay fucking I'm giving that a three out of five. I'll go two. I didn't think it was that impressive. Yeah no I'm going they were better after a shake no I'm going they were better
Starting point is 01:03:46 after a shake but I'm going one what one I would buy the Tesco equivalent for a quid and have a big oily bag
Starting point is 01:03:52 and that was better they'd be better than that so that was a negative experience what would make a Tesco better than the Bobby's
Starting point is 01:03:57 there much more flavour and slightly more I like oily food the greasy a bit greasier. That felt stickier, but not greasy. Yeah, it was. Like the coating's come off on my hands.
Starting point is 01:04:14 Okay, so... Worst performer so far. Two more snacks. Unfortunately, the one I was most looking forward to, because who doesn't love a bacon snack? Well, we have something to maybe replace that. I don't know what flavour that is. I know you're about to say, but from the
Starting point is 01:04:28 packet, I want it to be like burger flavour or something like that. If it is that, I'm so excited for it. Pizza flavour. It's Bobby's BBQ sauce potato snacks. What would you call that? It's a trellis.
Starting point is 01:04:43 A lattice. Trellis? A pork callis of, er... What's a trellis? For growing... It's like a sort of... It's a manhole. A trellis is a subset of lattices. I would say manhole cover along with it.
Starting point is 01:04:59 A manhole cover of potato crisps. So they're synonyms. So can I make an announcement at this point? I've never really had a barbecue. So I don't know whether these will... Have you never had barbecue sauce
Starting point is 01:05:08 at a McDonald's? No. Have you had a barbecue... I know you don't eat meat but did you before you didn't? Corn on the cob? When I was like 10.
Starting point is 01:05:17 But I'm never off a barbecue. Corn on the cob on a barbecue? Never off a barbecue. No, fair enough. Don't hassle him. Bloody hell. Oh, come on, Froppy.
Starting point is 01:05:25 So there we go. They do not look like the picture on the package. They look like little baskets. They don't look very lattice-y. They look more trellisy. Smell them. Smell them. Do they smell like prawn cocktail to you, like skips?
Starting point is 01:05:35 Yeah, I'm very excited to see them. Smell them. Do they smell like prawn cocktail to you? Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. I'm getting an extremely overpowering... ...kind of prawn cocktail skips. Skips, they smell exactly like skips.
Starting point is 01:05:46 They do, yeah. But almost like... At the end of the smell, the barbecue comes in. Half skips for Space Raiders. That is strong skipping. Alright, let's try this. There's sort of no taste, but there is... There's a sweetness at first,
Starting point is 01:06:02 and then there's quite a subtle barbecue-y finish. They're very puffy, aren't they? It's like you're putting a testine. I feel like the texture is pleasing. The puffy texture is pleasing. And it tastes more like a... It's a slow build. The more you eat, the more there's a rolling sensation of flavour in your mouth. I like those. I like those. Yeah, surprising. Although they still taste like skips to me, but that's...
Starting point is 01:06:22 They're a bit like those Pombears as well. They've got a very similar texture to the Pombears. You can let it fizz on your tongue. Oh yeah, I haven't done that. They've got a bit of a fizz. But skips have the ultimate fizz. That one has a real adhesion with a skips. You could get this sort of vacuum going on your tongue.
Starting point is 01:06:38 Quavers. I've heard of them as that being a big property of them. No, Quavers. Yeah, that's why they're called fizzy quavers. Yeah, but skips had the whole thing about letting them fizz in and out you know a quaver
Starting point is 01:06:46 would fizz but a skip would act like like a sucker like a toilet sucker would go on your tongue like a toilet sucker like a toilet plunger
Starting point is 01:06:56 would stick onto your tongue like a leech like some kind of limpet thank you you're that far away from doing like Fifty Shades of Eli
Starting point is 01:07:04 right there. Just with that whole... Oh, in your mouth. No, I'm not turned on now. Those ones can come again. Yes. Those are very good. I'm giving them...
Starting point is 01:07:13 Four? Oh, four. And what were they called? Barbecue Burger Bites. Barbecue Sauce Potato Snacks. Bobby's BBQ Sauce Potato Snacks. And just so you know, same design, and they do a beef flavour. Oh. Four for me. I'd say four. So you put them up with the... Bobby's BBQ sauce potato snacks. And just so you know, same design and they do a beef flavour.
Starting point is 01:07:26 Four for me. I'd say four. So you put them up with the... Four. The onion rings. Four, yeah. Remember I said five for balance. I like those. I'm going three.
Starting point is 01:07:35 I'm going a strong three. I would buy that. If I saw them, I'd buy them. You're the Paul Hollywood of this panel, aren't you? You're a little bit more strict and a little bit more stern. And I am going to the other show when it starts. Right. Final one.
Starting point is 01:07:48 This may please you. Oh, no. I know. This has been the best segment ever. This is Bobby's Burger Bites. Oh, yes. Look at that. They look like little puffed
Starting point is 01:07:56 little burgers. Yes. The way they've been puffed makes them look like a big burger. I think the word you're looking for is bivalve. And will Bobby's be sponsoring the podcast?
Starting point is 01:08:05 I fucking hope so. They have heard the episode that we did. Bobbies did listen to the one we did with them. Here they come. Bobbies cops. The Bobbies. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:16 High five. Bobbies on the beat. Cheap show on the eat. Hey. Now we're cooking. Now, I will say this. Disappointed by the aroma out of the bag slightly chlorinated
Starting point is 01:08:27 you know what I might do I might give it the ash shuffle because your shuffle improved the flavour of the bacon salad let them express themselves
Starting point is 01:08:35 it's like letting a glass of wine you know breathe you've got to decant the burger bites I'm genuinely excited about this
Starting point is 01:08:42 I'm feeling actual excitement there's adrenaline in my heart Ash is looking at me and he's got a twinkle in his eyes he's got a bit frenzied
Starting point is 01:08:51 he hasn't been this animated all day Ash has got that look on his face which is come on Eli pass the fucking bag do you know what
Starting point is 01:08:57 that smells like what burnt sugar it's got a burnt sugar smell so I'm going to take some out and pass them on
Starting point is 01:09:04 great you know that was you pulled it out like it was in an advert you know that when they tic tac or they tip pulled it It's got a burnt sugar smell. So I'm going to take some out and pass them on. Great. You know, you pulled it out like it was in an advert. You know how they tick-tock? So they pulled out a little tick-tock. It's almost like candy floss. Yes. It's sort of burnt sugar. Oh, yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 01:09:16 Remnants of candy floss. So I hope everyone has stuck their nose and gob in the bag. I'm Lars. In the wine, you stick your nose in the glass. It does smell the actual thing. Oh, God, it is that. It's candy floss. I don't like actual thing. Oh god it is that! It's Covey Floss. I don't like the flavour. Tomatoey. It's almost like a tomato.
Starting point is 01:09:30 I like the crunch though. The crunch is good. Crunch is nice crunch. This is like Worcester sauce. It's a bit too much the flavour for me. Well, I thought that was going to be the highlight of the show. Can I just be honest? I thought that was going to be the highlight of the show. And it's turned out I think it's been the most disappointing
Starting point is 01:09:46 You know what the big surprise The standout for me Go on Was the Barbecue flavoured potato Snacks Grill thing Yeah
Starting point is 01:09:53 Let's rate this very quickly It's been a bit of a let down Anti-climactic But I'm going to give that two Because the crunch Gave it an extra point for me I don't like the flavour Slightly sickly two for me
Starting point is 01:10:02 Yeah I'm going to give it two as well I'm going one I'm so disappointed I two as well. I'm going one. I'm so disappointed. I've never had such a... But I think the clear winner... Actually, it's tough. The onion rings or the barbecue snacks are both... Both extremely strong.
Starting point is 01:10:14 Very, very strong. But the barbecue snacks has no peer. So the onion rings, you know, are always going to fail comparison to, say, you know... Yeah. Monster Munch. See, if you think about Beef Monster Munch, like those beef you know
Starting point is 01:10:25 what I mean like you compare anything to a beef monster munch you're shitting aren't you yeah beef monster munch
Starting point is 01:10:33 is not only one of the finest crisps ever but one of the finest achievements of mankind in this era of humanity
Starting point is 01:10:40 well I think we'll give the win to both the onion rings she put it on the space shuttle she put monster munch never mind
Starting point is 01:10:48 showtime any of that shit just put some monster munch on there they fucking should that would get the aliens down to fucking
Starting point is 01:10:54 da vinci's david who gives a shit I honestly think that bobbies should be the market leader of onion rings you know you should
Starting point is 01:11:02 say can you get me a bag of bobbies and that should automatically mean I totally agree there's a hole in the market leader of onion rings you know you should say can you get me a bag of bobbies and that should automatically mean I totally agree there's a hole in the market and they've they've put a fucking
Starting point is 01:11:10 good product up there well bobbies if you are listening we are looking for sponsorship and we do actually like your product we genuinely think your onion rings
Starting point is 01:11:17 are the best onion rings good they're very good nice sweets nice retro vibe I like bobbies we'll probably come out we'll probably come out
Starting point is 01:11:24 that their their boss the boss of Bobby's is some kind of big racist arsehole. He's not, he's not. He might sponsor the show. Yeah, I was distraught
Starting point is 01:11:34 when I heard about one of the guys who owns Greg's likes watching kid porn. Does he? I'm never going to enjoy a pasty ever again. It's like that punk brewery.
Starting point is 01:11:41 Yeah. They are fucking douche alloys, my friends. Anyway. Well, on that fucking douche-aloids, my friends. Anyway. Well, on that kiddie-fiddling note, round of applause to Bobby's. Bobby!
Starting point is 01:11:50 You're not going to end it with on that kiddie-fiddling note. Yeah. This is cheap show, Ash. I've never listened to this show. They will not sponsor you if that's how you wrap up the section about their product.
Starting point is 01:12:01 Even if it's that they don't do it, you can't say, oh, and by the way, the people at Bobby's don't do it you can't say oh and by the way the people at Bobby's don't kiddy fiddle well in this
Starting point is 01:12:09 day and age you have to know no because it just raises it raises the thought of it as a consumer and a parent
Starting point is 01:12:15 you should be proud to know that Bobby's staff don't fuck kids it's like meeting a girl in a nightclub
Starting point is 01:12:22 and going oh hi by the way I don't beat women she's not going to go oh oh, great, that's perfect. I used to do that. That's cutting close to the bone, really. Because I used to say I'm not weird when I'm trying to chat women up.
Starting point is 01:12:35 You know, whenever I'm not fucking a corpse, I eat bobbies. Hello, Cheap Show lover. I'm Damien St John. I appeared on one episode of Cheap Show and my life has changed so much since. You would not believe how much my life has changed. I've had two haircuts. I've bought a house. I own a hybrid bike and I'm getting married. All funded, not by my appearance on Cheap Show. getting married. All funded, not by my appearance on Cheap Show. I mean, that was the rock bottom moment. Really, it couldn't get any lower than that. And I've used my appearance to really springboard my life into doing what I want to do. Oh, I also got BAFTA listed as a writer, but let's not bring that up. I've been on the streets, actually. I went to Manchester,
Starting point is 01:13:19 because I know Cheap Show is popular amongst the poor. And I asked the people of Greater Manchester about the startling statistic that reveals that people in the north of England who listen to Cheap Show are a fifth more likely to die under the age of 75 than Cheap Show listeners in the south. This couple think there is a north-south divide. I've never really thought of it before, but I think you could be right,
Starting point is 01:13:41 probably down to diet, exercise, lack of. There definitely is. But where the line's drawn, exercise, lack of. It definitely is. But where the line's drawn, I don't know, in the country. Down south, there's a much more affluent way of living than up north. I'll be honest, I know I'm much healthier down south. So thank you, Paul. Thank you, Eli, for having me on Cheap Show. It really helped turn my life around.
Starting point is 01:14:01 If you are a struggling talent, I suggest you two appear on the show and then it can't get any worse than that here's to another 50 episodes looking forward to appearing on at most one of them oh it's time for another part of the show i love where we delve back into the charity shops and find a board game based on a TV property and we play the game, kind of. What's the property this week on our very special 50th episode? Well it was donated at
Starting point is 01:14:32 our live show at the Bill Murray pub and I wanted to play it for a while and we're going to play tonight Noel Edmonds, Cuddly Ed Noel Edmonds the BBC's very own otter of entertainment He was, he used to be He's not Not anymore. No, because he was shit.
Starting point is 01:14:48 He is shit. He used to get like 30 million views. Yeah, he was big man. He used to strut around the BBC all like this. He was big man on the BBC. And then what, he got into the secret where it's like, I visualise 10 million pounds and then I get it. And he already had 10 million pounds.
Starting point is 01:15:00 He said he invented a machine that cured cancer as well, didn't he? Yeah, and he had a helpline that he would speak to your pets. He would call up your dog and say, Cheer up! Eli's blue light is facing me. Is that going to be an issue?
Starting point is 01:15:12 Turn it round, you wanker stain. Okay. He's also responsible for the worst TV game show, which is Deal or No Deal. Yeah. Which is... One of the things I can't abide is something which is passed off as skill,
Starting point is 01:15:25 where it's blind luck and guessing. There is no logic or reasoning. No, but that's it. I've got a good feeling about three. No, just fucking come on. It's that mumbo jumbo. That's why he loves it, because it's pure luck. Wasn't it almost once going to be banned because there's no skill involved?
Starting point is 01:15:42 So it's technically gambling. It's not actually entertainment it is strategy in terms of whether you take the deal from the banker or not that is a strategic
Starting point is 01:15:51 consideration but there's a YouTube thing where someone's edited an episode where they just choose and it's like 45 seconds
Starting point is 01:15:55 long and it's like one of those things where it's a 45 second game show they drag out for a fucking
Starting point is 01:16:00 hour by just chatting so tell us about your weight loss or you got over cancer the worst thing that ever happened to fucking telly for a fucking hour by just chatting so tell us about your weight loss or your yeah or you got over cancer or something the worst thing
Starting point is 01:16:08 that ever happened to fucking telly it was deal or no deal no was when it was who wants to be a millionaire yeah
Starting point is 01:16:15 and to create tension it was all like what do you think the answer is why why are you going to go for A and not B well I'm going to go for A because
Starting point is 01:16:24 and now everyone's going to spend 45 minutes... It's like, if you are the Bishop of Durham, will you live in Durham, York or London? Well, it's not going to be London. So I'm thinking, oh, it's probably not... You know, Bishop of Durham, Durham or York, Durham or York, Durham or York, Durham or York. Probably not going to be York. Are you sure?
Starting point is 01:16:49 Yes. Do you know this? No, it's just a guess. But answer the fucking question. Answer the fucking question. Jesus Christ, people. My friend won 60 grand on Deal or No Deal. He loves it.
Starting point is 01:17:01 Scratch cards? No, on the show, yeah. Oh, really? He was on it? He won it, yeahatch cards? No, on the show, yeah. Oh, really? He was on it? He won it, yeah. Wow. But I was talking about this yesterday. I think if I went on Deal or No Deal
Starting point is 01:17:09 and they went like, the first offer is six grand, I'd say, deal. Because you've won six grand. There is no loss, is there? I know, but I wish you'd dream higher, Ash. I think it doesn't matter, does it? Because I was on a game show last year.
Starting point is 01:17:23 Oh, which one was it again? Decimate. As a celebrity? I don't remember Decimate't matter, does it? Because I was on a game show last year. Oh, which one was it again? Decimate. As a celebrity? I don't remember Decimate. Shane Ritchie hosts Decimate. So you were, as a celebrity, you were... Come on, Eli. I'm not, listen, I'm not being facetious,
Starting point is 01:17:36 but you were on as a member of the public. I was a member of the public. But you weren't really, because you're friends with him. Hey. Hey, calm down. I owe him a significant amount of money. It had nothing to do with my relationship
Starting point is 01:17:46 no no yeah so I got maybe I maybe I was asked to be on the show maybe I was allowed to audition for the show okay
Starting point is 01:17:54 but he got through on his own wits yeah he had to earn it but then I earn money on it yeah
Starting point is 01:18:01 but that is a game show that nobody ever wins I'd watched it before no one wins it anything so I thought
Starting point is 01:18:09 I'd go on it and it'd be funny if I lost tremendously I thought it'd be a funny house Edinburgh show
Starting point is 01:18:16 waiting to happen this is what I was thinking I was thinking this is going to be the lovely end of an Edinburgh show because I've got
Starting point is 01:18:21 a bit of a story with Shane Ritchie and so I go on the game show and no one ever wins and so there's a lady that was on the game show because I've got a bit of a story with Shane Ritchie and so I go on the game show and no one ever wins and so there's a lady that was on the game
Starting point is 01:18:28 show and she'd got a lot of her questions wrong in her round she were in a team of three and then it come to the final where we'd gone with like I
Starting point is 01:18:36 know 10 grand or something to the final and they said right who should go to the quickfire round first and if you get a question wrong it goes to the next
Starting point is 01:18:43 person and I think I'm thinking at this point no one ever wins so it's going to be hilarious if we absolutely bomb
Starting point is 01:18:49 she goes on and just nails it every question bang bang bang bang and we win you're ruining my Edmure show
Starting point is 01:18:54 you stupid cow I had to then run across London to meet my girlfriend who was at a theatre and I went in and went I'm
Starting point is 01:19:00 really sorry we won so what did you get 10 well it's split between three of us. So you got two, three. Yeah. 36.
Starting point is 01:19:11 We knew there'd be an answer somewhere. Right. Three twelves. Three twelves. And that game shows where it's impossible to win. The ultimate example being Takeshi's Castle. Oh, yeah. I saw the episode where the guy won once
Starting point is 01:19:23 and nothing happened. They didn't even know what to fucking do that's not meant to happen honestly Decimate no one wins because the
Starting point is 01:19:30 questions are so one question is so it would be one of the questions was which North London football
Starting point is 01:19:37 team play in red so I think even if you're not a football fan you would go well it's
Starting point is 01:19:42 Arsenal because you know they're from North London the next one was what bird sits on the right hand
Starting point is 01:19:47 of Odin's throne nobody knows both those answers finch sparrow pigeon eagle cat
Starting point is 01:19:55 I think it was a raven raven said raven said first but that's the thing it's the they make it so that they seem
Starting point is 01:20:03 like it's there'll be people who know both answers separately but but no one knows both. Well, on that note, it is time to play today's board game challenge. It is Noel Edmonds, that was like a Ronnie Corbett segue to get round back to Noel Edmonds again, but it's Noel Edmonds' Teleaddicts! Is this going to be about Telly from the 80s? There is going to be a large number of
Starting point is 01:20:42 outdated questions especially the topic labelled current affairs It's going to be tough to play from the 80s? There is going to be a large number of outdated questions, especially the topic labelled current affairs. It's going to be tough to play that one. But what I thought we'd do is we'd play it trivial pursuits-wise. So I'll give you half a block of the questions each, and we'll ask each other questions. If you get that card right, you keep it, like it's Wedge.
Starting point is 01:20:57 What about the board game aspect? Fuck the board game! All right. I didn't read the rules, and there are jigsaws involved. Oh, this looks terrible. There's jigsaws involved. This looks terrible. Jigsaw to question what are you really angry at? Quite a lot actually. Are you going to show them it or anything?
Starting point is 01:21:14 Yeah, I'll take a picture. We're just going to take some questions from the 80s and read them to each other. Yes. Why don't you test us, Paul? You be the tester master. Alright, so you're all against each other. And the first person to get all six of their cards wins. You be Noel Paul? You be the tester, master. All right, so you're all against each other. Yeah. And the first person to get all six of their cards wins.
Starting point is 01:21:27 You be Noel. Or why don't you just do it? We'll just read them out and see what goes on. I don't know that we love a proper cunt. My best impression. Oh, my helicopter don't work. Oh, Mike Smith. There are six categories, okay?
Starting point is 01:21:42 Yes. That you'll have to answer. There is drama, children's television, music and the arts, new sport and current affairs, light entertainment, and movies on television. So we're going to get one of each type of question in. Yeah, and you have to collect all six of each card. The first person to get all six categories wins. Like Trivial Pursuit.
Starting point is 01:22:06 The first person? Yeah. Can't we just get six and whoever wins with a tiebreaker? No, because... No. No. Stop doing the rule. If it's the first person to six, Paul, I just have to say this very quickly.
Starting point is 01:22:16 If it's the first person to six, we could be playing for fucking ever. We could be playing... Someone might not get to six till midnight. Till tomorrow morning. Then let's start playing now. Yeah, if we don't start we never will till February next year

Chinggis Khan! Ha! Uh! Ha! Die Hufe ihrer Pferde, die feilschen den Sand. Sie trugen uns zu Schrecken in jedes Land. Und weder Blitz noch Donner hielt sie auf. Uh! Ha! Ching! Ching! Chinggis Khan!
Starting point is 01:40:44 Hey, Reiter! Oh, Reiter! Hey, Re, Ching is gone Hey, Leute, ho Leute Hey, Leute, immer weiter Ching, Ching, Ching is gone Auf, Brüder, es auf, Brüder Auf, Brüder, immer wieder Lass doch Wodka holen Wohohoho Right, well, we all heard that before.
Starting point is 01:40:59 What do we make of it? It's shit. Ooh, terrible. It's like a good... it's like a bad boney M. Because what I was exactly going to say is what this song is missing is... Oh baby, sexy baby! A break. It's missing a break. Any good disco tune needs to have a breakdown, yeah. It doesn't have a breakdown.
Starting point is 01:41:18 That's what makes the genre the genre. And they issue the break in this and they don't do it. It just repeats the chorus. Where you put the fucking disco break, they've gone, nah, it's Eurovision, fuck it. It's not proper disco. It's fucking stupid here. It's like in German and it's stupid. It's a little bit like a sort of Bavarian black lace. Yeah, I like that.
Starting point is 01:41:40 It is Euro pop disco. Is it having a gang bang? Yeah, it's good. But how much effort would it have taken for them to go, let's just break down, let's just hear the drums here. Literally four bars of... I think it's important that you realise that the people on the front cover of that disc... Had nothing to do with the record. Had absolutely nothing to do. They did not write it, they certainly didn't play any instruments.
Starting point is 01:42:02 They were just following orders. They may have sung some of the words. The front cover has the band, Dishingis Khan, and portrayed here is Dishingis, in English, Genghis. I see. And he's at the back, and he looks like Ming the Merciless or something there, and they're all standing around him as his henchmen and a couple of ladies, one who is dressed in a fluffy white dress and one who seems to have that fluffy thing you put at the end of a microphone on her tit. So... And now say the witty thing that you've remarked upon about the cover.
Starting point is 01:42:34 Say the witty thing you said before. At the bottom, there is a brown mist. And what is that brown mist akin to? It looks like a fart. It looks like a fart ladies It looks like a fart, ladies and gentlemen. Bravo! Bravo! All fart.
Starting point is 01:42:50 Okay, so someone's let off a really bad one. Who's done it? You look at the guilt on their faces, and there can be no doubt it is the gentleman on the far left who is trying to suppress a smirk. Let's have a look. Yes. Blatantly. He smelled it and he dealt it.irk. Let's have a look. Yes. Blatantly.
Starting point is 01:43:05 He smelled it and he dealt it. Yes. Well, there we go. Well, it was jolly enough, but it wasn't. He dealt and he's thinking, that's a good one. That's a good one. I want some like,
Starting point is 01:43:15 I'm not getting any money or fucking fame out of this record, so I hope someone says... At least I can fart in a room full of my friends. Ash, you did the research. It was a Eurovision entry, but did it get into the competition or yes it got
Starting point is 01:43:25 it was number four it got to fourth really out of 19 out of 19 the competition was low that year break the words
Starting point is 01:43:33 down into English or translate the words as some people say they are absolute nonsense just basically describing Genghis Khan's life I'd imagine
Starting point is 01:43:43 he's a tremendous lover no woman ever entered his tent and left disappointed he had a penis apart from the last piece of information of which we know Eli's penis looks like the saddest wizard the saddest wizard
Starting point is 01:43:59 it doesn't anything like the saddest wizard it looks like a ping pong ball with a crow's beak perched on top as we've discussed before yes I do apologise that is a more accurate description
Starting point is 01:44:08 it's like a grain of rice on a hacky sack yeah yes an inside out squid yes ooh
Starting point is 01:44:16 ooh and has a beak yeah and one eye listen and can open jam jars Paul don't be hating on the nubbin yeah that's what the nubbin is the heart Yeah. And one eye. Listen. And can open jam jars. Paul, don't be hating on the nubbin, yeah?
Starting point is 01:44:28 That's what... The nubbin is the heart of the show. Have you ever satisfied... Is the only thing you've satisfied with your nubbin that chicken? You've lost that nubbin feeling. Oh, that nubbin feeling. You've lost that nubbin feeling. Stuck in in a chicken
Starting point is 01:44:45 that was wrong, wrong, wrong. Ooh. Right, so we're reviewing this record, are we? Yeah. Are we? What do you give it out of five platters? Very disappointing. I was looking for a break.
Starting point is 01:44:59 There was no break. There's nothing really to commend this song. I've listened to the B-side. Let me tell you, people. Yeah. Filler. Pure filler. Aw awful no it's called Sahara was he even
Starting point is 01:45:08 in the Sahara gangest have they done their research who knows we just don't know the best thing about this record is the fart missed on the cover
Starting point is 01:45:16 and the guy who obviously did it and you believe that to be true yes all right Ash and Richard I don't think anyone's having enough fun on the record
Starting point is 01:45:27 so it's like it's shit that's true but it's not shit it's not sort of fun it's disco because there's lots of fun to be had in people
Starting point is 01:45:33 just missing the point of disco and having a whale of a time this is it's not even cynical it's just it's like written by accountants yeah as like for a talent show
Starting point is 01:45:42 it's not a disco song it's a joyless It's a joyless. It's a joyless disco song. It's about getting his card for fuck's sake. And it has no joy. The only person who's enjoying himself is that guy who fucking dealt the fart. The front cover,
Starting point is 01:45:53 they are all in fancy dress. But that is not done, like Richard says, out of a place of fun. That is deadly serious. Yes. There is no amusement. They mean that 100%. They mean it. Yeah, there is. There is no irony or anything. But it's not so serious. Yes. There is no amusement on them. They mean that 100%.
Starting point is 01:46:05 They mean it. Yeah, there is. There is no irony or anything. But it's not so serious it's also funny. No, no. That's the problem.
Starting point is 01:46:12 It's straight down. It's very difficult to do what they've done. It's basically the Costa coffee of disco. There's nothing to commend it but you can't totally hate it.
Starting point is 01:46:22 Well, in that case... Because it is at least essentially coffee. No one can argue with that. I'll give it one platter one platter I have no interest in giving it any platters what is second
Starting point is 01:46:30 on your list of platters don't we get a score from these two they just give opinion one it's not even worth scoring one thank you
Starting point is 01:46:38 there you go is that what your opinion is Paul one trying to fucking you know subvert the fucking format five podcast
Starting point is 01:46:44 five best song ever. LOLs. Hashtag. You don't mean that. No. Right, the second song. Next one. Shut up.
Starting point is 01:46:50 Is. A really odious record. By. Mary Wilson. Called. Telephone Man. And. We'll hear it right now.
Starting point is 01:46:58 Good. I rented my apartment on a Monday at one Singing do lolly lolly, shakey bum, shakey bum Started moving in it on a Tuesday at two Singing do lolly lolly, shakey do, shakey do Wednesday at three, I called the phone company Singing, hey baby, put a phone in for me Thursday at four, he came a-knockin' at my door, singing, hey baby, I'm your telephone man, you just show me where you want it and I'll put it where I can. Now this was a huge hit.
Starting point is 01:47:55 It was. It's one of these records that is a pop song, but is verging on novelty. Why don't you like this? I don't understand that you are so anti this song. I think this song is tremendous. Basically it's a bit of a sort of tongue in cheek, ooh she called the telephone man to fix her telephone. But he's boning her. He's boning her. He's boning the whole block.
Starting point is 01:48:16 He's like D'Shingis Khan of telephone men. It's a bit like a Pam Ayres poem. Is she gonna say fuck? No she's not. It's like that. You know you rolled for me. By someone who thinks like from the East Village and thinks it's funny to write sort of like twee porn. I think it is funny. It strikes me as a sort of song like Kung Fu Fighting where it's probably hastily recorded for the B-side and they realise that the A-side which they really give a shit about is actually everyone liked the B-side more. Do you know you get that feeling it was like that was like two hours because they had two hours left of the day
Starting point is 01:48:45 I spent all day doing the A side and that was the hit and it's like oh fuck because you can't dance to that at all
Starting point is 01:48:51 it is the A side but this could have been a later issue but you know what I mean it's like it has that sense that it's not the song they meant
Starting point is 01:48:57 but obviously that is the A side but it just I enjoyed it her sort of cod American accent or perhaps she's American but the way she does
Starting point is 01:49:03 her voice is annoying it's like that she's doing it like that Jimmy Sav what's Jimmy Sav I was going to say who's the other Jimmy
Starting point is 01:49:11 Jimmy Hill Jimmy Hill Cranky Cranky Scargill there was a person called Jimmy Buffett I think in American politics
Starting point is 01:49:18 Jimmy Riddle Jimmy Cliff Jimmy Cliff right okay so Jimmy Sav I'll have to pause as everyone went over
Starting point is 01:49:25 if they should do a Jamaican accent or not, and then swiftly moved on without doing a Jamaican accent. I just think, you know, it's not quite... It's a deeply irritating,
Starting point is 01:49:31 irritating record. And you actually, there are, there were a lot of sort of copycat records of this, but sort of like done by a Northern guy.
Starting point is 01:49:41 So who's that Northern comic who did Telephone, oh, I'm your telephone Mike Reed yeah it was not Mike Reed but there
Starting point is 01:49:47 were like different versions of this that came out because this was such a huge hit and I've seen her do it I've seen um Hot Gossip do a version of this on
Starting point is 01:49:55 Top of the Pops and they're like they're just fans it rings and then like Mike Smith answers it and goes or Kid Jensen answers it and goes
Starting point is 01:50:02 oh hello are you a telephone man and then they go into it it's a really terrible bit of telly I think you've been far too harsh on this I really do and I know you know your music but I think this is going under
Starting point is 01:50:15 under the radar see now you've become the Simon Cowell of the panel from Paul Hollywood to Simon Cowell is that a thing they say? you're in I want to invest £10,000 for a 50% stake accept it I mean
Starting point is 01:50:27 the first time I heard this telephone song it was a time of great upheaval in Ireland and if you understand the situation of the working class people
Starting point is 01:50:40 at the time you have to understand how invocative it was oh god that accent. I fucking hate that, man. But it wasn't funny to me. That was Scottish.
Starting point is 01:50:50 Right, okay. Telephone Man, Mary Wilson. I didn't. I mean, it's fine, but you couldn't dance to it. Did you see how it's a huge hit? It would be like trying to dance to lift music. 77. That's all you need to know.

Starting point is 01:51:17 why would you do that? It's why. It's why. Stick the phone up my phone. Okay. Put it on vibrate, and then stick it on my nipples. Stick the phone up my fanny put it on vibrate and then stick it on my nipples stick the phone up your fanny put it in the fish tank and now it's wet

Starting point is 01:51:54 at a funeral good Paul good segue what angers Eli is that he had to phone up the phone company that's what the music
Starting point is 01:52:05 was on hold on hold for two hours while he was trying for a certain time but at the same time Greensleeves was also underneath it
Starting point is 01:52:13 but when they because they wouldn't have realised the sort of sexual sexual implications in that song they would have been people there would have been mums and kids
Starting point is 01:52:21 listening to it because the mum just thought it was a lovely funny little tune yeah no the mums were all listening to it because the mum just thought it was a lovely, funny little tune. Yeah. No, the mums were all frotting themselves. What?
Starting point is 01:52:29 Frotting? Dry frotting in the supermarket. Isn't that a shit? The telephone man. Always the telephone man would come round and fix my fucking pole. Have you ever had a telephone man come to your house? No, see, that's it again. Certainly not to fuck me. I've tried.
Starting point is 01:52:43 He'd be called Mary Wilson. Be a slag. Sorry. I've tried. He'd be called Mary Wilson. Be a slag. Sorry. What? Sorry. Sorry, Mary. I'm sorry. Dirty, naughty boy.
Starting point is 01:52:52 Are you going to Google something? I was, and then I forgot because your whole thing about Mary and she was a slag, it threw me off. Sorry. You should be. Say it again.
Starting point is 01:53:02 I'm sorry, Mary. You've ruined this 50th episode. I have not ruined it. You You have with your saucy language and your racist accents and your inability to guess simple TV trivia. Guess? No, I think it's the word
Starting point is 01:53:18 you're looking for. Is she Mary Wilson? The one who said... It's not that. Mary Wilson. Not Mary Wilson. What one who said... Mary, M-E-R-I. It's not that. Mary Wilson. Not Mary Wilson. What, is she off... Great British Bake Off?

Starting point is 01:53:40 Oh, yes, of course. Is... Still American, though. Yeah. She's American, yeah. She was best American though. Yeah, she's American. She was best known for singing double entendre novelty songs. And that must be her biggest double entendre novelty song.
Starting point is 01:53:51 Must be her biggest one. She was actually born in Japan. So the second single, Julius, Fruit and Veg Gentlemen. She died in 2002. Aged 53. And she was buried to that song. So she would have
Starting point is 01:54:05 been very young when she released that I'm sorry I called her a slag she called her words like probably when she was a teenager 28 she was 28
Starting point is 01:54:12 now that she's dead I'm sorry 36 right and to end this segment we're going to hand over did she have a record called
Starting point is 01:54:20 Plumber Needs My Pipes Into you twat end the segment can I just say in 1999 she released a single
Starting point is 01:54:30 called Internet Man yeah you see she did that's what I mean oh and then the hard drive
Starting point is 01:54:35 got inserted in my floppy disk and then I stuck it in my farting pot at that point there came a drive time airplay song
Starting point is 01:54:42 and she got a new record deal with Time Warner Records. Jesus. And she died three years later. Oh, that's real shit. Well, that will teach her. She lost control of her car on a Georgia State Route 377.
Starting point is 01:54:52 Okay, I take that back. During an ice storm. So, we're going to hand over to Richard Sandling now because I would do my bottom shelf. I was going to do my bottom shelf where I find something at a charity shop on VHS or DVD that I like. But I thought I'd hand it over to Richard and offer Richard's choice. So, but I thought I'd hand it over to Richard and offer you
Starting point is 01:55:06 offer Richard's choice. So what is it? What is it? Hello, everyone out there. Richard's just turned up. Hello. Hello. What have I missed? Nothing. Is it my girl, Roddy? Honestly, not much. I have got I don't know why I'm holding you up because this is a podcast
Starting point is 01:55:22 but there'll be photos right in there. I have got the Muppet movie on Precision Video VHS and the reason this is interesting to me is this was the first original release on home video
Starting point is 01:55:33 of the Muppet movie from 1980 and as you can see if you like there will be pictures hopefully to copy this yeah there will be on the website
Starting point is 01:55:40 the video case is a big cassette tape it's like a big C90 cassette tape it really is they didn't know how to market it tape it's like a big C90 cassette tape but they didn't know how to market it so it's literally like buying a cassette but a video shaped cassette
Starting point is 01:55:50 yes I actually wish that videos kept doing that I think that's much more pleasing beautiful and it's just
Starting point is 01:55:56 it's plastic and it's lovely it's hard plastic it's hard plastic yeah it's actually like solid and it's obviously it's the Muffet movie
Starting point is 01:56:03 which is a great movie it's an absolute classic but you know it's just it's just like solid and it's obviously it's the Muppet movie which is a great movie it's an absolute classic but you know it's just it's just a beautiful ITC and it's yellow and there was only a few
Starting point is 01:56:12 I'm trying to find out about this but this is because this is kind of one of the first pre-certificated releases of VHS only certain
Starting point is 01:56:20 videos Kermit says fuck Kermit says fuck and hey everybody get fucked you know the torture
Starting point is 01:56:28 of Miss Piggy is real that's real animal cruelty Muppet Holocaust Muppet Holocaust yeah oh that's a cover
Starting point is 01:56:36 they should have done the bit with the turtle you'll never forget the bit with the turtle it would have been Pepe the Prawn in the Muppets version yeah
Starting point is 01:56:43 with Fozzie on a spike coming out of his mouth Gonzo's nose just fucking ripped off it's just horrific horrific rated PG so why
Starting point is 01:56:52 I've got a question why do you think they decided to not go with the large brittle cassette crystal do they call it crystal
Starting point is 01:56:59 yeah I don't know I'm trying to sort of find out more about these cases I think only a couple like 80 titles were released like this this is the previous
Starting point is 01:57:05 this is before they did what we have I suppose it's because that's what they had for the cassettes that's what they had for cassettes they're making a
Starting point is 01:57:12 different medium they're always trying to make it different I suppose if you're talking about how they have it at home and obviously this is before
Starting point is 01:57:17 they'll probably rent them so this would be like in a library so you probably need to be more succinct and if you're having like a video shot it's just a nicer finish
Starting point is 01:57:24 a VHS box is one piece of pressed plastic and that's two separate pieces yeah this is two separate things I imagine one piece
Starting point is 01:57:31 of pressed plastic is cheap yeah it's cost a VHS was largely sort of you know a cheap well they were expensive to buy
Starting point is 01:57:38 at the time but the idea was you'd just knock them out you know like everyone could just have a record it's like having a record everyone's got it's like having a record everyone's got
Starting point is 01:57:45 it's like having a podcast everyone's got a podcast you know you just stick out you stick out the seven VHS titles your own as quickly as possible some people won't have a podcast for long
Starting point is 01:57:54 why are you being catty you've still got 36 more you're stabbing you say not for long I reckon there's about another three hours left in this one that's a beautiful
Starting point is 01:58:03 beautiful thing it's a lovely thing I really like it is it costly do you reckon it'll go for a bit of money I had a look online but I can't find any
Starting point is 01:58:09 on eBay I can't find it and it's quite difficult to like to Google the parameters of the box
Starting point is 01:58:17 to find out because you can type in but it's also it's like I've got some videos which go because I've got a lot of the Disney films
Starting point is 01:58:24 which are only on video and things like Song of the South which is banned but's also it's like I've got some videos which go because I've got a lot of the Disney films which are only on video and things like Song of the South which is banned but you know it's good to it's an uphill
Starting point is 01:58:30 wank Song of the South believe me a lot of effort involved it's quite tricky but you know so I've got a few
Starting point is 01:58:36 things like that but it's like they're only really worth anything if you're actually going to sell it or if people will actually buy it
Starting point is 01:58:41 so I'd rather just have this awesome thing and go look at my brilliant video alright well that's beautiful and have applause for that People will actually buy it. Yeah, true. So I'd rather just have this awesome thing and go look at my brilliant video. All right. Well, that's beautiful.
Starting point is 01:58:47 We'll have applause for that. See, you can have a bit of joy occasionally, you two grumpy bastards. No, it's a joyous show. It's just we hate each other. That's true. Ladies and gentlemen, it is the 50th edition of
Starting point is 01:59:02 The Price of Shite. So let us do... Is it actually? No. It's the 50th edition of The Price of Shite. So let us do... Is it actually? No, it's the 50th edition episode. It's Price of Rite special. It's The Price of Shite. Try it again. Ladies and gentlemen,
Starting point is 01:59:15 to celebrate our 50th... Oh, Margaret across the road has terrible petunias. She lets them grow like wildfire. To celebrate the 50th anniversary episode podcast here is
Starting point is 01:59:28 this edition of the Price is Shite that's right it's time to do it Mr Silverman it's the fucking
Starting point is 01:59:37 Price is Shite it's the fucking Price is Shite it's the fucking Price is Shite oh it's the fucking Price of Shite and that's right
Starting point is 01:59:44 not our best version let's be honest with you But today we're doing it differently Because not me and you doing it Not me you We're competing Paul We're competing because I will vanquish you Ash is going to now be in charge of the items
Starting point is 01:59:59 So how's the scoring going to work Mr. Faith? Well what I thought we'd do is I want you to guess a price. Yes. We all guessed, it's like, like we've... So far, so good. We've... I'll just, sorry to step in here, Ash.
Starting point is 02:00:13 Paul? He's pulling rank. It's very simple. Yes. We've done it before numerous times. Yes. Maybe almost 50. Right.
Starting point is 02:00:20 As is now written in stone, the rules are as follows. Yeah. Ash will produce a piece of shite. Yes. You will guess your price for the piece of shite. I will guess my price for the piece of shite. And then our guest, Richard, will guess his price of shite guess. And then it scores as follows.
Starting point is 02:00:42 If you get it on the nose, two points. If you're within 25p either way price one point can i just before we start to give you a chance yeah these were very oddly priced okay that might swing it a point either way so so that is the scoring if you're within 25p either way you get one point if you're on the nose you get two otherwise nil point nil point what if I decide that Paul or Elo's guess
Starting point is 02:01:09 is the guess I would guess and I have the same guess and then just go with the same guess yeah and you get the points I agree with the pounds of course
Starting point is 02:01:16 yeah of course we're not monsters so Mr Frith what is your first shite the first thing I and I just want to say it's the 50th episode,
Starting point is 02:01:26 so I thought I would spend £50. Ooh. I then thought... That's stupid, yeah. So you spent 50p. No, I didn't. All right, good. But the woman...
Starting point is 02:01:36 I know you have gone through shite in your time. Yeah. You have never had a woman as pleased to sell the things. First item, and do I describe it? Yeah. Do I take it and describe? So the things. First item. Do I describe it? Yeah. So the first item is this. Oh, it's horrible. It is a green, fluffy
Starting point is 02:01:53 it's called a baby fergal. It looks suspiciously like a character from Monsters Inc. It looks like a mixture between Mike and Sully There's something sort of hideously tarantula like about it
Starting point is 02:02:10 He's furry He's green He's got blue coming through He's got sort of stuck on eyes It holds, it's basically I should tell you what it is, it's a CD case CD slash DVD
Starting point is 02:02:24 slash Blu-ray slash PlayStation 4, 3, 2, 1. You open it up. You open it up. He unzips around his legs. He's got little arms that come up here as well. Nice. Nice touch. And he's got little leg nubbins as well.
Starting point is 02:02:38 He's got leg nubbins. And in there, you are fitting 12. That's. Can I have a look? You can. Of course you can have a look. It's, it's, it's, oh, and mint condition. It's still got its original.
Starting point is 02:02:49 It's got the original, it's got on card, as they say. Yes, on card. It's got the card. The value's still going to be there. Fergles, baby fergles. So you think you get full-sized fergles. If you want 24 DVDs, you have to get a real fergle. A 12-inch vinyl.
Starting point is 02:03:03 I mean, if this is a baby baby Fergal it could look very different to the adult form the adult form could be very like a gremlin could be very different do you think they have other designs than they have a Fergal Sharky
Starting point is 02:03:11 crime buster of the sea yes well you know a good case is hard to find that pun is about the most cheap show thing we've had all day
Starting point is 02:03:20 Fergal Sharky Fergal Sharky and George yeah Fergals yeah Fergals okay Fergals crime busters of the sea I'm saying
Starting point is 02:03:29 the quality the finish it doesn't look that cheap it looks like it's actually despite the outward appearance it's actually quite a high quality
Starting point is 02:03:36 bit of like kit well constructed definitely it says it holds 12 CDs or DVDs and it says underneath yummy yummy
Starting point is 02:03:44 discs in my tummy. Well, you are putting them in his tummy. You are indeed. Forcing discs into his guts, which causes quite a bit of discomfort, I'd imagine. Given the insertion, do they have female furgals? Because that would make the whole insertion process slightly more sinister. They're just for pencils and rulers. I'd put my dick in that.
Starting point is 02:04:02 You'd put a dick in that? Yeah, and flap it all the way out is that why is that why you have that huge collection of trolls to go on your pencil yeah that's exactly why it is
Starting point is 02:04:10 yeah right so it's time to guess the price so I'm going to guess you're going to go first Paul so what charity shop was it was it a charity shop this was a cancer research
Starting point is 02:04:19 okay I'm going to say a map local yes in but was it a secondhand item? Because some of them now have new options. No, no, no.
Starting point is 02:04:26 All secondhand. This was made in 1995. Everything is secondhand. That's actually quite cool, isn't it? I'm going to say £1.50 for that. I believe they might have overpriced it somewhat. What do you say, Mr. Silverman? I'm going to say £2.
Starting point is 02:04:43 He's going to fuck it. £2.25. £2.25. So what did you say? £ he's going to fuck it £2.25 £2.25 so what did you say £1.50 I said £1.50 so what I know how
Starting point is 02:04:51 the local charity shops are somehow slightly mental about prices and things so I reckon they may have had the gall to ask for something
Starting point is 02:05:01 like £3.99 for that ok well that's complicated well we've got three very different scores so keep those in mind £1.50 £3.99 for that. Okay. Oh, well, that's complicated. Well, we've got three very different scores, so keep those in mind. £1.50, £2.25, £3.99. Wow.
Starting point is 02:05:12 Okay. And do we... At the end, you have to remember. Second item. Yes, second item. I'll remember, don't worry. I'll remember. I didn't bring a pen.
Starting point is 02:05:20 Item number two. I could write it down. I could write it down. So Richard said £3.99. £2.25. Paul, £1.50. Lovely. Right, the next item for the Price of Shire.
Starting point is 02:05:36 Yes, darling. This was in a whole section. I could have bought an entire Price of Shire range on this particular subject they had a whole section in the shop is it 50 grades? again, mint condition desktop crazy golfer so this is
Starting point is 02:05:55 a small, maybe 3-4 inch character it goes on your desktop he is standing in a prone position. There's something in there that looks like maybe an insect within the box. He comes with maybe ten minuscule golf balls and a little golf tee. You set that up on the other side of the desk.
Starting point is 02:06:19 You flick it with the wrist. You flick him. You pull him back. You release. He will hit the ball. Oh, you release. He's got some kind of action. I think so will hit the ball oh you release he's got something action I think so
Starting point is 02:06:26 it's in the box because it's mint so you I don't know but that's what I'm thinking it says pull back the golf club to put the balls
Starting point is 02:06:33 into the hole it's outrageously addictive desktop fun this mint condition still sealed in the box
Starting point is 02:06:40 with the card there are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 golf balls maybe 2mm 3mm in diameter just so I can have a look at the price sticker sealed in the box. With the card. There are two, four, six, eight, ten golf balls, maybe two millimetres, three millimetres in diameter. Just so I can have a look at the price sticker
Starting point is 02:06:49 if it's still been left on, but no, it hasn't. Oh, Paul, you're such an angle shooting, low down, life,
Starting point is 02:06:55 you crumb bum. Crumb bum. I'm sorry, was that one of those PG swear words that we were talking about? You're a, you,
Starting point is 02:07:03 you toilet. You slight, we try and have good sportsmanship a... You, you toilet. You slight... We try and have good sportsmanship on this show and you go, well, perhaps he's kept the price on. He won't have to work. He won't have to use my brain.
Starting point is 02:07:11 He won't have to create anything. Good. I'm going to hit you. I'll give you 50 punches. I'll give you 50 punches in the mouth. Don't hit me with the price of shite because its value will go down
Starting point is 02:07:20 and then your guess will be fucked. Four quid. Three quid. Two quid. Right. Let's have a guess desktop crazy golf tech on swing that's what it says
Starting point is 02:07:28 right in that case I'm gonna say that's two pounds two pounds I'm saying what do you say Mr. Silverman I'm gonna go I'll go up for three
Starting point is 02:07:39 I'm gonna go three I'm gonna go low I'm gonna go 149 149 okay this is very exciting I'm going to go for £3 on this one. Ooh, three. I'm going to go low. I'm going to go £1.49. £1.49. Okay, this is very exciting. Did this come with other characters you could play golf with? No, but there was a whole golf range.
Starting point is 02:07:57 So you could have bought a golf ball, not engraving kit, but embossing kit. There was lots of golf items oh but this was the only one in this actual selection of teas in a box it's a nice item that alright okay
Starting point is 02:08:09 so final final item on the price of shite 50th and this I feel needs um I mean
Starting point is 02:08:19 I don't I can't do it justice by just showing it to you I don't think you gotta stick it in us or something it's this. Oh, now that.
Starting point is 02:08:27 Let me have a look at that. The correct response. Let's have a look at this. That is a prize piece of shite. That might be the most brilliant. That might be the most singular piece of shite ever to grace the price of shite. Describe it for us. I'm going to give you all the details.
Starting point is 02:08:47 It is six inches. Oh. Cross. It is made of porcelain, China. It has got a lovely, it's a plate, I should say.
Starting point is 02:09:00 It is decorative. It has got some sort of. Nice royal purple. It's not just any plate though, is it? No. It's not any plate. It is a commemorative plate. some sort of... Nice royal purple. It's not just any plate, though, is it? No. It's not any plate. It is a commemorative plate. But what's it commemorating?
Starting point is 02:09:08 It commemorates... To commemorate the wedding of HRH, the Prince of Wales, and Camilla Parker Bowles. Oh! 9th of April, 2005. Stand up, Eli. This is royalty. I'm not standing for you or any fucking king or queen.
Starting point is 02:09:24 It is a drawing maybe done by an eight year old. But it is genuine. This is actually... Life's drawing class. If you want to know who's the kind of people that are going to be buying this, I can reveal. It's from the Sunday and Day of the Bread. Oh, well, I need to get a picture of that as well
Starting point is 02:09:40 because that ties it all together. You know when you see those pictures online and it's like there was jesus was in a slice of bread and someone draws like what the jesus actually looks like and it just looks mental because it's like some woman who can't draw art was drawn yeah the mary you are talking about the monkey christ that's what you're referring to the monkey christ no that was that fresco yeah yeah that's not a bad it's actually not a bad Camilla
Starting point is 02:10:06 but Charles just looks like but it's not a good Camilla no but I mean but she like it's just a bad picture yeah whereas Charles looks like
Starting point is 02:10:13 they've drawn him like he's 20 this to me and he's got grey he looks like they both look a bit zombified this to me
Starting point is 02:10:19 this what's happened here is these are Charles and Diana plates left over from the 80s this is the only section here that was replaced even her hair What's happened here is these are Charles and Diana plates left over from the 80s. This is the only section here that was replaced. Even her hair is a bit Diana.
Starting point is 02:10:30 Yeah. It's almost like an eraser to the actual design. You can almost see on the neck that that has been added on. It does look like they've photoshopped or paint shopped or plate design shopped. People can put pictures on cakes better than that plate is designed. It is not a handsome piece. Could I have a look? It's yours, mate.
Starting point is 02:10:52 I don't want it. It might be cursed. Oh my, oh my. You look closely and it's atrocious. It looks like Charles and Camilla have used the makeup with the chemicals in it from Batman. They do not look healthy. Charles looks like he just doesn't want to. He looks like he's going, please save me.
Starting point is 02:11:12 It's Oxford Collectibles. Just think about the fact that that was purchased by someone. Yeah, you. And then those people didn't want it anymore. And instead of putting it in the bin, they they said someone will want this in the charity shop. The woman when I bought that said I never thought that would go. That's the kind of shite we love on this show. Primo shite.
Starting point is 02:11:34 That's one of those things that when you give stuff to the charity shop you just find, that's one of the things when you give a box to the charity shop you put that in the bottom so they can't go yeah we don't take this because they've already got it but it's like no take backs. It does have a good weight to it.
Starting point is 02:11:48 They close the shop up and move. It came with a stand the woman said do you want the stand I said no. It's not going on display. It didn't change the price?
Starting point is 02:11:57 No but it just was basically Did she give you a reduction because you didn't take the stand? There was no reduction. However
Starting point is 02:12:04 she was pleased because she can now use the stand for something else. An actual plate that someone would like. Maybe with a character from A Bug's Life on. They're just not very attractive people. They captured that very well. Yeah, very well. Very well. So we're looking for a price now for the we are terrible commemorative
Starting point is 02:12:25 Charles and Camilla plate Paul I mean you couldn't have got a more perfect item for the 50th episode you know what it's brilliant
Starting point is 02:12:33 I'm going to surprise everyone and have a wank that would not surprise anyone no I know and make a joke about wanks no even less surprising I feel the pressure of the audience
Starting point is 02:12:41 to get a wank joke in so I threw it in that wasn't a wank joke no it wasn't. 75p. 75p. I'm going to go £1.50. Oh.
Starting point is 02:12:51 I'm going to go for £2.99. £2.99. Because the thing is, that's the sort of thing that they want to make it 99p to get rid of it, but at the same time they know that whoever wants to buy that will be happy to pay £3 for it. Because the sort of maniac that gives a shit about the royalty doesn't
Starting point is 02:13:07 care about money respect for the royalty they don't want to be paid they'll think that's going to go to decorating Buckingham Palace if they buy
Starting point is 02:13:12 that so they'll be happy to pay like god knows what commemorate the wedding of HRH the Prince of Wales and that cow Camilla Parker Bowers
Starting point is 02:13:22 is the froth shop guy back in now yes he's come back in he's a bit more like this the froth shop guy back in now? Yes. Has he come back in? He's a bit more like this, the froth shop guy. I'm much more, this is antique. I'm not getting a real difference. Me, big fire.
Starting point is 02:13:32 Now he's a native. He's a native American. Oh, right. Good. Right. So how do you want me to do the reveal here? Correctly. Individual items?
Starting point is 02:13:41 One by one. Yes. Remind us of our prices and then reveal the closest. For the CD case, Paul went with £1.50 one by one. Yes. Remind us of our prices and then reveal the closest. For the CD case, Paul went with £1.50. I did. Eli went with £2.25. I sure did.
Starting point is 02:13:51 Richard went with £3.99. Yeah. Now, I want to make it absolutely clear, £3.99 was, I'm offended you think I would spend that much. Well, that's what I thought as well.
Starting point is 02:14:01 Yeah, way out. Come on. It was £1.75. Oh! Who's closer? Paul is closest. He is 25 pence off there. That's a point for me.
Starting point is 02:14:12 And I'm 50p off, yeah. You are 50 pence off. So we're both nothing. Nothing for you and me. Point for Gannon. Oh, my goodness. One point for Gannon. I'm getting a bit frothy.
Starting point is 02:14:21 Getting a bit frothy. I like Paul. Next up was the golfer. Oh, yeah. Paul went... Miniature golf executive toy, tabletop toy. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 02:14:31 Paul said £2. I did. Eli went £3. He's now regretting it. I'm regretting it heavily. Richard Stanley went with £1.49. Okay. The actual price of this shite
Starting point is 02:14:46 Yeah £1.85 Oh Another point for Paul You said £3 I said £3 but I fucking didn't Right no that's it No sit down and take it
Starting point is 02:15:02 So Paul is 25p away Richard is half a world away 36 pence away bad luck Richard could have got a point there Paul has won
Starting point is 02:15:13 but we will push on no I could be spot on with the last one you could but I'm not but let's see how this plays out so finally the piste de resistance
Starting point is 02:15:22 the plate the Camilla the. The Camilla. The commemorative Camilla. This is the best show ever. Paul. Yeah. You said 75. I said 75p.
Starting point is 02:15:33 I mean, again. What? It feels like you're disrespecting the royals there. You know what I mean? I think because it was a free plate. Listen. It's not a free plate, mate. It got given away with the...
Starting point is 02:15:42 It got given away? They had to pay a certain... All you had to do was buy the Express. You had to buy the Express five days. They said, like, £17 postage and packaging. Yeah. Then I regret 75p, obviously. Well, you should.
Starting point is 02:15:53 Eli. Show some respect for our royals. Eli, you said £1.50. I think that was fair. Richard, you went with £2.99. He had a stand with it yeah so in total
Starting point is 02:16:06 let me just give you the totals of what like Paul I think this is going to highlight that Paul maybe had his head screwed on a bit more
Starting point is 02:16:13 Paul went for a total of £4.25 for all three items Eli went £6.70 that's yeah Richard went
Starting point is 02:16:21 £8.47 no one's ever spent that much on the show in the past 49 years. Well maybe they should, you're worth it. I spent £10 on that clock. The commemorative plate was £1 exactly. Oh! It's a clean sweep for Gannon.
Starting point is 02:16:38 You won Paul, you don't have to touch me. On the 50th say Paul won the show. Paul won the show. Paul won the whole show. Say Paulie Wally.

Starting point is 02:17:02 meticulousness we need from our hosts Paul.

Starting point is 02:31:58 now Eli before we go I need you to say thank you very much for spending 25 hours editing this fucking episode because it nearly killed me thanks Paul thanks you really did have to put up with a lot of shit with this one just a quick fact I wept last night what were you watching Doctor Who again
Starting point is 02:32:15 no no because I was editing this fucking podcast and it began to get out of sync for some reason and I don't know why because we were using like four tracks at one point I was syncing them all up I started doing a death by a thousand cuts so I was taking a little get out of sync for some reason, and I don't know why. Because we were using like four tracks at one point, I was syncing them all up. I started doing a death by a thousand cuts, so I was taking a little bit out of one track, a little bit out of the other, and eventually they all became massively out of sync.
Starting point is 02:32:33 So it sounded like we were in this massive echo chamber. And after editing that section for three hours, I had to stop doing the whole thing and delete it all. And I had a cry, and I kicked the the table and then I went for a cigarette. This really is like the Sergeant Peppers of podcasts, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. And this whole end part is the final note of a day in the life. Wow, yes. Right, so that's it then.
Starting point is 02:33:00 All right, we can take a breather. We've got House of Pickles coming up. We've also got our live show, which I'm still trying to organise our travel to. Anyway, this is all behind the scenes. Anyway, this is it. We can say goodbye. And everyone else can finally stop listening to this fucking podcast.
Starting point is 02:33:14 Goodbye. Goodbye.
