Starting point is 00:11:52 and I love Cheap Show and all the work you do on the Barshens and on the Spooktator thanks Ian, yeah, would you like to read it? I think you should fucking get on with it so that we can generate some kind of humorous traction in this bit because there's nothing.
Starting point is 00:12:08 You are just, you know, you've gone, it turned to a jelly. I used to work at a Kmart store while in high school. Better. From the ages of about 16 to 19. Too pausy now, it's too pausy. Kmart, if you don't
Starting point is 00:12:24 know, is like a Walmart, but poorly lit. God. And stuck in the year 1993. I left my coffee in another room. Oh my God. You're so shit.
Starting point is 00:12:37 This bit's so not working. So we're frightened. Listen. Do you want to read it? Do you want to read it? Yes. I was going to say. Read it.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Can I do Tales from the Shop floor? Fuck me. This is great. Why have we never done this before? Because you'd have no responsibility on this show. Listen, it's a responsibility. Can I just say, Paul? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:54 I'm happy to read some Tales from the Shop floor. Go for it. Liven this shit up a bit. Go for it then. Get to the point. Right, you ready? Yes, I am ready. Have we established,
Starting point is 00:13:03 he worked in Kmart and he's an American, he's called Ian, yes? Yes. So we established? He worked in Kmart. Yeah. And he's an American. He's called Ian. Yes. Yes. So one Friday or Saturday, just say one of the days. You just know. It's a vague memory.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Oh, well, maybe it was another day. No one cares what fucking day of the week it was. It was the weekend. Yeah. Fucking hell. One Friday or Saturday, I was working into the late evening, maybe about 9pm, when a guy came jogging into the health and beauty section of the store. He had to have been about 45 and looked just like the lead character
Starting point is 00:13:34 from the second Human Centipede movie. Have you seen that? Oh, yes, the ugly, ugly man. He's an ugly man, is he? Yes. Is he beardy? No, he's big and he's a little bit overweight. And he's got a face a bit like Marty and he's a little bit overweight and he's got
Starting point is 00:13:45 a kind of face a bit like Marty Feldman's if he'd headbutt at a wall thank you he came jogging up to me
Starting point is 00:13:51 panting and in a loud tone of voice nearly yelling asked me where's your lube and I was just
Starting point is 00:14:01 about to give him directions to the auto department when he then added, this time yelling, full sex! Fair enough, I thought, and I brought him to the sex aid department. He quickly scanned the shelves and then looked at me, at this time probably 16 and not yet touched a girl's nether regions. Thank you for that, Ian, thank you, and asked, what do you recommend? Since I had no experience in the matter, I replied, not sure, let me Google it.
Starting point is 00:14:29 To which he replied, I would have researched it myself, but someone didn't want to wait. What? Right. Anyway, I think we quickly decided on Astro Glide. And then basically, I ran behind him to the checkout counter, quickly cashing out. He said, thanks, man. And I managed to get out, have a fun time, before he shot out the door.
Starting point is 00:14:50 In one part of my mind, I'm thinking, good on him. His age still getting his meat wet. Getting his tip wet. His age still getting his meat wet, which is a sentence I never thought I'd read. On the other, the store was located in the area known for high rates of prostitution. Same result either way, I suppose.
Starting point is 00:15:07 Also, why buy lube but no condoms? Anyway. Thanks, guys. Keep up the good work. Well, thank you, Ian. That really did pick up, especially when it was read with some pace and fucking... Let me... I'll read another one.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Got any comments about that? Mad Man wants lube. Mad Man wants lube? Thug need lube. Lube. Where'd you be, mate? Mad need lube. Og need lube.
Starting point is 00:15:31 What do you need lube for, mate? Og have sex with wife. Oh, and you need lube. Og kill crocodile, wife very horny. Oh, do you have any condoms? I use crocodile. Lube the crocodile. It's only small crocodile. Oh, a you have any condoms? I use crocodile. Lube the crocodile. It's only small crocodile.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Oh, a little alligator. It's a very small alligator, which has og... Filed teeth down. Fit snug on og cock. You're right. This is great comedy. This is really good comedy. Snug on og cock.
Starting point is 00:16:01 All right. All right, mate. Right, got another story? I'll read it. That was good. Hang on, let me have a look. I liked the detail there in the end. Thanks, Ian.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Another tale from the shop floor? Yeah. Okay, here's another tale from the shop floor. It's exciting. I like being read stories too. This is from Rich661. So Richard Nothing is the name he's given. So I don't think that's his real surname.
Starting point is 00:16:25 You can maybe guess Richard might be, though. Yes. So Richard, thank you for getting in touch. Hello, cheap show. Smiley face. Nice. Open smiley face. Oh, like wide smile.
Starting point is 00:16:36 Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello. Happy face. Hello. I want gloob. I recently got back in contact with someone I worked with about 15 or so years ago.
Starting point is 00:16:49 He reminded me of a great story we used to retell other people. It almost seems like a story specifically made for you, but I swear this is true. The best of both our recollections. So there's a little qualifier there from Richard at the top. It means there's some margin of error maybe in the honesty and factuality of this story. Well, memory,
Starting point is 00:17:08 as we both know, Paul, as we both know, is not a reliable source of things, is it? No, it's not. You can barely remember to do anything I ask you to do. No, that's not the type of memory I mean.
Starting point is 00:17:17 It's the same kind of thing. No, it's not. It is. It's a completely different category of memory. I say remember to bring a blanket back to the sports festival. Remembering a story that happened to us is a completely different category of memory remembering a story that happened to us is a completely different category
Starting point is 00:17:26 of remembering than remembering to do something it's categorically different and you just try to segue into you lazy cat I don't do everything fuck I'm not turning that into this I was trying to say memory of the past
Starting point is 00:17:41 not remembering to do things a completely different thing so it's less like you're forgetting a blanket can we agree on that it's unreliable memories are unreliable I'm just agreeing with you
Starting point is 00:17:51 just so I can differentiate you're saying forgetting to bring a blanket an important prop to a festival comedy show oh you're so you're you're weepy
Starting point is 00:17:59 weepy fanny about this that is not the same as you doing an awful performance on stage and then thinking back and going, yeah, I smashed that. That was really good. That's more like what you're saying, isn't it? That is exactly what I'm saying.
Starting point is 00:18:11 But I have no time for your petty shit. It's true, though. So the best of their fucking recollection, Paul. All right. To preface this, because it's relevant, we had a very camp-acting floor manager. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:18:27 Oh, you're getting to do a voice. A very camp-acting floor manager in a certain chain of gaming shops. What do we think? Game. Could be. Maybe. Sex. SCEX.
Starting point is 00:18:40 What was that? Electronic boutique. Could it be something like White Dwarf? Maybe. Warhammer. Warhammer. Warhammer. No, be something like White Dwarf? Maybe. Warhammer. Warhammer, yeah. No, they're called White Dwarf, aren't they? Who cares?
Starting point is 00:18:51 Fuck them. I don't. I mean, if you play it, yeah, but... You don't like... Make Og sad. Og play game. Og paint tiny man. Og try to play D&D, but Og's wife Vera don't like.
Starting point is 00:19:04 Og's wife Vera always't like. Og's wife Vera always ruins our fun nights out. We'll need to fuck Og's wife with crocodile dick thing. Yeah, that's appropriate. Camp acting floor manager
Starting point is 00:19:15 in a certain chain of gaming shops. One day, we heard one of our work colleagues almost shouted UGH! He rushed over.
Starting point is 00:19:21 How can you almost shout UGH? Maybe he went he's gonna go UGH! But he caught himself. He was like UGH! It was a sort of strangle. UGH! he rushed over. How can you almost shout? Maybe he went, he's going to go, but he caught himself. He was like, it was a sort of strangle. He rushed over to inform us that, yes, someone had taken a shit on the floor. If you're playing Cube Show Bingo, cross off the square where someone takes a shit right now. And there's a little side comment here from Richard. Nowadays, I amuse myself by assuming it was some sort of dirty protest about the price
Starting point is 00:19:45 of the PS2 bundles. Yeah, that's what it was. Very nerdy. Yeah. The floor manager decided he would deal with it. I'm not sure why, but I guess to try
Starting point is 00:19:53 and show he was willing to work too. Fair enough. So he disappeared upstairs and reappeared a few minutes later wearing rubber gloves and carrying a bucket
Starting point is 00:20:01 filled with soapy water. Got down on his knees in front of the PS2 display and attempting the cleaning of said shit quickly gave a really loud sigh. He took off the gloves and grabbed the shit in his bare hand walked past us angrily and
Starting point is 00:20:16 campily shouted, It's cake! Then stormed, stroke minced off back upstairs. Well, minced, that's very offensive terminology. He was a really nice bloke. But we laughed at that for far longer than we probably should have done. This may be a story that only seems funny to me all these years later,
Starting point is 00:20:34 but hopefully you enjoyed it too. Closed face, smiley, and mitre con. Keep up the good show, guys. Thanks, Rich. Okay, so let's unpack that. I think what happened was the story is reasonably true. He took the gloves off. I mean what happened was the story is reasonably true. He took the gloves off.
Starting point is 00:20:48 I mean, what is the main sort of focus here? What happened was he took the gloves off. Yeah. Took the shit and said it was cake. No, he took his gloves off and grabbed it because he knew it was cake. The question now is what cake are we looking at here? We're looking at a chocolate cake probably. Obviously a chocolate cake. Maybe a densely covered eclair.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Black Forest Gato. Black Forest Gato. A nice slice of that. But that's got big white streaks in, so it might... What about a banana cake? Banana bread with icing. It could be raisin bread as well.
Starting point is 00:21:15 That's quite dark coloured. Could be like a Christmas cake. Yeah. Could be a mini roll. What do we mean by it's a cake? I think he just means it's some kind of cake, some kind of dense, bready, cakey subject. So are we to think it is cake?
Starting point is 00:21:26 Yeah, no, and it was cake. Oh, is that why I didn't pick up on that? So it was cake. It was cake. It was not shit. No. But just the way he went, it's cake. Yeah, because he was angry,
Starting point is 00:21:36 because he went through all that emotional turmoil to get himself mentally in a position to clean up someone's... And then it was only cake. Gut droppings. Someone was playing a prank on him. Yeah. Like the Babe Ruth bar in the pool. From the Caddyshack.
Starting point is 00:21:48 In Caddyshack. Okay. Is there another story for me to read out? No. Should we do three? Because now it's time for something else that has a three in it. Eli!
Starting point is 00:21:57 Oh, by the way, thanks to everyone who gets in touch and if you want to send your own tales from the shop floor, story in thecheapshowatgmail.com. Now it's time for I see I'm doing professionally and upbeat
Starting point is 00:22:07 giving lots of energy for the next section of the show that you're going to love ladies and gentlemen we don't do it often but when we do it's always a barnstormer
Starting point is 00:22:13 please stand proud and listen to the famous award winning section of the show we like to call Eli's
Starting point is 00:22:23 Top 3 it's my top 3, yes, Paul. We're back again with another top three. This is where I say my top three of something. And it's always a solid and well-researched three. Category, and then you can comment, and you will come up with a weaker top three
Starting point is 00:22:38 that's unconsidered and just shows your deadness inside, your sociopathic unwillingness to even just relate to anything. In a real way. I like you though, Eli. And I think deep down you love me too. See, it's this kind of glibness. It's this psychopathic glibness. You just don't like getting in touch with your emotions.
Starting point is 00:22:55 You can't reach down and say, you know what, Paul? I can reach down. Say to me, do you mean it? I'm going to reach down right now. Go on. Into my pants. Right, I do what? Wank.
Starting point is 00:23:03 Why? Because I like to. I like that. That's an emotion. I'd do what? Wank. Why? Because I like to. I'm in the room. That's an emotion. I'm getting a warm belly emotion. Yeah? Say something else
Starting point is 00:23:13 because it's your voice that makes me want to wank. Ladies and gentlemen. My top three. I am genuinely a fan of Eli Silverman. Are we going to go into this again?
Starting point is 00:23:22 I'm doing my top three. I don't know why you fight it. I don't know why you fight it I've got a really good top 3 Paul today's Eli's top 3 will be my top 3 drumroll condiments liquid condiments
Starting point is 00:23:36 so this would not involve salt or pepper or any of these sprinkle on condiments which are you you know, chili flakes, bonito flakes. I'm getting the impression that nothing of any kind of dry
Starting point is 00:23:52 texture will be added to your list. And there's all sorts of things they have in Japan which can spice up the rice, like sesame, toasted sesame sort of seeds and stuff and oils and stuff. So not oils? We're talking liquid condiments. Liquid condiments?
Starting point is 00:24:06 Yeah. Now, this was a tough one for me, I have to say. A tough but important top three. Up until you mentioned the topic, I was reasonably excited about this top three. Now my level of interest could not be lower. Top three liquid condiment time, Paul. Can you spice this segment up somehow?
Starting point is 00:24:23 Maybe do each one of the different things in a different accent. No. Go on. All right. Yay. In third place. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:24:31 Yeah. Oh, it's vinegar. Yeah. Yeah. Third place vinegar. I'm not going to ask what that voice was. I just like the attempt. See, it's a tough one for me, vinegar.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Yeah. Because very close to it in the fourth place. Now, this is a little insight into the way my mind works. See, it's a tough one for me, Vinegar. Yeah. Because very close to it in fourth place. Now, this is a little insight into the way my mind works. Wait, fourth place? Yeah. How many is in this list? It's top three, but I'm just giving some background, which would be fourth place and fifth place.
Starting point is 00:24:55 So it's a top five? No. You can see you get a little extra bonus opinion about my fourth, but the actual official is the top three. So depressed. And in third place So third place is vinegar. Yes.
Starting point is 00:25:10 But what is fourth then? Vinegar's very important Paul. Would you agree? Do you like vinegar? In small amounts. I've heard about people having vinegar sandwiches. That's not something I do.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Just bread and vinegar. No you put butter on and then vinegar on that. Oh no. That sounds not good. No that's not good. I've never tried it myself. I've never tried that.
Starting point is 00:25:27 And what's your feeling about balsamic? I like balsamic. Not on chips. Do you like it on chips? I've never had it on chips. The sweetness doesn't help with the chips. It's a middle class show. You want some malt vinegar on chips.
Starting point is 00:25:39 Chippy chips. You know what's good with vinegar on it? A lot of people don't think about. Bacon. Bacon and vinegar? Splash some in your bacon sandwich. Oh, that's a dirty little trick with vinegar on it? A lot of people don't think about. Bacon. Bacon and vinegar? Splash some in your bacon sandwich. Oh, that's a dirty little trick, isn't it? It's fucking good.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Is that a life hack as well? No, it's a... Do it. Say it's a life hack. It's not a life hack. I'll put the sound effect in. That's a life hack. I've got a life hack.
Starting point is 00:25:57 Yeah? Don't buy toilet paper. I did that one, didn't I? Yeah, I think you did that one. Yeah. This isn't life hacks, Paul. Yeah. Okay? Yeah. Eli's top three. And. This isn't Life Hacks, Paul. Yeah. Okay?
Starting point is 00:26:06 Yeah. Eli's top three. And in third place is vinegar. Right, good. Right, got any argument with that? No, move on to two. I don't want to hear about four and five now. Fourth was...
Starting point is 00:26:14 Just to spite you, fourth was fucking soy sauce. Fifth is ketchup, okay? Right. So it's a top five then, really. It's a top three. It's more of a top five. Those were the unofficial fourth and fifth places. Like, memorable mentions? No, like the unofficial fourth and fifth places. Like a memorable mentions? No, like the unofficial
Starting point is 00:26:27 fourth and fifth places. You want to say something else? Memorable mentions? Yeah, like we can't fit them in the top three so here are two that we wanted to get in. So they're not four and five. They're more like a side thing. Soy sauce. I thought it would be in your top three. Don't do that.
Starting point is 00:26:43 Yeah. Alright. That's right. I remember it would be in your top three. Yeah, that's right. Don't do that. Yeah. All right. That's right. I remember in the 80s when we had this little thing, this sauce machine. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I did that. Don't bring him back. Please don't bring him back. Okay, I'll go now, buddy.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Bye-bye. Why is he always coming in and then going? So what's number two? Number two, Paul. So we had ketchup. Top three of liquid condiments. Ketchup at number five. Four is soy sauce.
Starting point is 00:27:07 Three is vinegar. Two is... Mayonnaise. Mayonnaise. Yes. Mayonnaise. I guess it's a liquid. We've done it on Moff Brown Brown Off.
Starting point is 00:27:15 I guess it's a liquid. It's a condiment. Yeah, liquid condiment. We're not going to have a whole source of liquid condiments and then put fucking slightly more viscous condiments in a whole other thing. I thought you were going to be more like soy sauces and... Well, soy sauce is there, Paul.
Starting point is 00:27:31 These are all condiments. Sriracha. The only distinction, yes. Is that your number one? Number one is hot sauce, yes. Wow, but that's a very broad number one. It is a general... This is a general thing.
Starting point is 00:27:43 Like, I did nuts before. I did Eli's Top Nuts. And, you know, you can get general thing. Like I did nuts before. I did Eli's top nuts. And you know, you can get all sorts of cashews, can't you now? Smokehouse cashews, honey roast cashews, dry roasted cashews.
Starting point is 00:27:54 It's struggling for air. Can't you? It's not. You're struggling. This section is choking in a safe. You are struggling to gain, to keep your relevance in this fucking show. That's what it is for. It's like being locked in a safe overnight and are struggling to keep your relevance in this fucking show. This section is like
Starting point is 00:28:05 being locked in a safe overnight and the panic that sets in. You're struggling to even fucking operate. When you know there's not enough air to get you through the night. You are the least inspired person I've ever met in my life. And they'll find you in the vault the next morning, dead. Have you got top three? Beat that. With scratch marks on the door. Beat my top three. Condiments. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:21 What's your top three liquid or sludge condiments? Alright. Or slightly viscous? Condiments. Yeah. What's your top three liquid or sludge condiments? Or slightly viscous? Number three. Vinegar. I like vinegar. So you're not going to diverge from what I said. No, I've got my own choices based on personal preference. Number two
Starting point is 00:28:37 is mayonnaise. I generally like mayonnaise on bagels. I like them with... make a burger. What's your number one? It better diverge from me. Well, my number one is a controversial choice. It's hot sauce. That's not funny. It is.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Right. That's the end of that fucking segment. HP sauce. I like brown sauce the most. Yeah, so where would it go? Number one. Yeah, first. See, that's what I thought.
Starting point is 00:28:58 So be honest, Paul. There you go. Brown sauce is good. Brown sauce is good. What about mustard? We're not unmentioning the mustard. What kind of sauce is brown sauce? What's it made of?
Starting point is 00:29:07 It's a fruit. It's based fruity. It's fruity, yeah. What kind of fruit, though? Because it's like a chutney kind of sauce, isn't it? But without the lumps in it. It's kind of got... What flavour is it?
Starting point is 00:29:16 It's like bitter, sour. No, what is it? It's fruit. So it's all those... Spicy. Yeah, spiced fruit. It's a spicy brown fruit sauce. Yeah, it's a spiced fruit sauce, really.
Starting point is 00:29:25 It doesn't sound as good when you say it like that. They've got similar sauces in Japan, which are not called the same thing, but they're, yes. The brown sauce they have. Brown sauce is very nice, isn't it? It's similar. It's the HP sauce variety that I like. You haven't mentioned barbecue. It's a whole category.
Starting point is 00:29:36 That's another thing altogether. I don't want to get involved in barbecue. Well, there you go. Yeah. And then there's mustards, horseradishes, and then there's things like these newcomers, like the garlic dipping sauces you get in takeaway pizza places. I should say to the listener,
Starting point is 00:29:54 Paul is actually discouraged now. He's actually lost the fake discouragement that he tries to keep up to actually, you know, to antagonise me, to kind of keep the show going. Now he's just looking around the room. He doesn't know what to say. There's my top three.
Starting point is 00:30:09 Thank you very much. Yeah? Condiments, Paul. Get used to it, yeah? There's going to be condiment chat on this show. There won't be. There will be. There won't be.
Starting point is 00:30:20 I refuse to live in a world where... It's part of the show. Condiment chat is part of the show. It's the single most depressing thought I've had today. It's an integral part of the show. Well, if you enjoyed that, listener, why don't you write in? My top three, thank you.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Let's just call this podcast... Cashews. Eli Silverman's cheap show. Cashews is my top nut. Yeah. Yeah. I hate you. I hate you so much. I hate me now. No, nut. Yeah. Fucking come on. I hate you. I hate you so much.
Starting point is 00:30:46 Oh, you hate me now? No, I love you. Yeah, well. I love you. I want to stroke your perineum with a toothbrush. Well, that can be arranged. Certain price. It's a pricing structure.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Yeah. It's one of those ones that also has a tongue cleaner on it. I think 200 quid. As long as I did it, I could just put a little flap in my trouser and just reveal the perineum and nothing else. And then you have to stand at the other side of the room. Yeah. With a big, long stick.
Starting point is 00:31:13 With a toothbrush. Is it a big, long handle from across the room? Well, it's maybe a piece of bamboo, but it's got a toothbrush at the end of it. And I can... From across the room? Yeah. How big?
Starting point is 00:31:23 You can brush my perineum just like that. For a minute. Let's say a minute and it's 200 quid. Okay? These are almost agreeable terms.
Starting point is 00:31:30 No nudity. I want it to be filmed. I want to see the cash. No, you want it to be filmed. Yeah, I want documented truth of it. No. I want there to be
Starting point is 00:31:36 a record of it happening. It doesn't have to go up online. Well, we can have a witness who would just pop in. Pop in. Take a few pictures. No, not take a few pictures. Guinness Book of World Records turns up. You know. Norris McSquirt turns up. We can't a witness who will just pop in. Pop in, take a few pictures. No, not take a few pictures. Guinness Book of World Records turns up.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Norris McSquirt turns up. You know, we can't get the Guinness Book. You have to pay them, as you know. Yeah, to turn up. We had this thing where we did the longest ever recorded podcast. I think that's something our listeners wouldn't know about. But we actually have broadcast for, what, 27 hours? Yep.
Starting point is 00:32:02 And we went mad. And you stopped. You started looking at bus stops. Well, bus stops was interesting. Yeah, two in the morning. At three. There was stuff going on. It's a dark time.

Haunting. Haunting. It's a big one. It's a big one. It's a big one, Paul. It's a big one. It's a fucking big one. What are you talking about now? A big Cheap Eats today. Is it?
Starting point is 00:35:32 On the show. Why don't you tell us what we're going to do then? Well, we are going to try and cover a lot of ground here with this Cheap Eats edition on the Cheap Show pod. We're packing a lot in. With you and me here. Yes. We are going to eat a lot of Cheap Eats.
Starting point is 00:35:44 There is a theme and it is a southeast asian theme a little bit yeah yes so let's with no further ado because we really do have to pack it in yeah we do have a lot to pack in let's let's compare a couple of what would you like to start with with the bombay mix let's start with the bombay bombay mix i'm gonna pick it up here we go this is a bombay Mix pack. It's 99p. Very exciting. Suitable for vegetarians. And it's by a company called Krishna.
Starting point is 00:36:09 Krishna. As in a deity, I believe, in the Hindu religion. I believe so. Yes. Vegetarian specialty snacks is what Krishna do. Oh, specifically vegetarian. Yes. It's suitable for vegetarians.
Starting point is 00:36:22 It's a crunchy taste and less oil. Not vegan? It doesn't say vegan. Let's look for vegetarians. It's a crunchy taste and less oil. Not vegan? It doesn't say vegan. Let's look at the ingredients. Let's look at the ingredients. Now, also, the other thing that appeals to me, just by the appearance, I should say, of the Krishna pack,
Starting point is 00:36:38 is it's Bombay mix, and then it says in brackets, if you'd like to read that out, mixture of noodles and peas. Of noodles. These are noodles. So it's a form of noodles. Mixture of noodles and peas. Of noodles. These are noodles. So it's a form of noodles. I feel like I've stumbled into a trap. Now let's see if it's suitable for vegans.
Starting point is 00:36:51 Yeah. Gram flour. Yeah. Dal, which is lentils. Sorry, there's someone singing in the front. We have a ghost. Green peas. Chick peas.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Rapeseed oil. Nice. Salt. Mixed spices. Colour E10T and E1110. Peanuts. Right. chickpeas rapeseed oil nice salt mixed spices colour E10T and E1110 peanuts right
Starting point is 00:37:09 so I don't know how that affects vegans if you're listening there are no meat products there's no whey there's none of these sort of things no whey
Starting point is 00:37:15 yes and there's also no whey no whey there's no whey apparently our name has now become synonymous with quality and reliability
Starting point is 00:37:22 for over 20 years what cheap show Krishna vegetarian specialty snacks so they're bigging up this Bombay mix and what does it look our name has now become synonymous with quality and reliability for over 20 years. What, Cheap Show? Krishna. Oh. Vegetarian specialty snack. So they're bigging up this Bombay Mix. And what does it look like? They've got the window at the bottom of the pack. You're looking at Bombay Mix. It's there. Now, you went
Starting point is 00:37:36 through a Bombay Mix sort of period, didn't you, in your life? I went through a Bombay Mix mad period of my life. And you used to have it every day? Because there was a corner shop near me when I lived in East Finchley that sold tiny packs of Bombay mix for 48p a pop. Always had a big handful. So I'd always have 50p and change,
Starting point is 00:37:56 and I'd buy them and have a little nibble when I got home with a naughty cigarette and maybe a good old cup of coffee. Okay. So he's gone and put a big... It's just a golden-coloured collection of noodles and peas. This is very nice, little baby. Yeah. That's how I take it myself.
Starting point is 00:38:14 Not too harsh. It's a warmth. The heat builds up. That's what you want, to build up. The chilli heat builds up. You know what I mean? They're very nice. Is that a noodle? Yeah. So basically, it know what I mean? Is that a noodle? Yes.
Starting point is 00:38:27 So basically, it's a good one. Is that a noodle? They're all noodles. All those cylindrical shapes are noodles. Is that a noodle? No, that is a dried lentil of some sort. Chickpea. And you've got the dried peas.
Starting point is 00:38:42 But that's a noodle? Yes, Paul, that's a noodle. So, and you're not messing. Oh, it's got a proper peas but that's a noodle yes Paul that's a noodle so and you're not messing this is oh it's got a proper kick is this a noodle can you
Starting point is 00:38:50 it's not amusing to me it's got three I'm not doing stuff that doesn't amuse me just because of repetition you can fuck off because it looks really thick it looks more like a biscuit
Starting point is 00:38:59 it's like a three pronged noodle three pronged noodle attack yes stop eating it now and I want some comments from you now Three pronged noodle. Three pronged noodle attack. Yes. Stop eating it now. I want some comments from you now. Is that a noodle? Stop showing me bits of Bombay mix and saying, is that a noodle?
Starting point is 00:39:15 You're done. I liked it. Not too harsh a flavour. Chilly, but a warmth chilli. It grows. It builds. Yeah. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:39:23 I always like the dried lentils and the dried chickpeas the peas essential yeah and this is Bombay mix okay Paul it's none of this new fangle
Starting point is 00:39:30 when they try and fucking juice it up by doing two of my bogeyman ingredients right on Bombay mix can you guess what they are
Starting point is 00:39:37 raisins absolute travesty coconut also almost as bad I like it with coconut though though, to be honest. You like it? Why? I like the desiccated coconut taste.
Starting point is 00:39:47 You're an idiot. You're an idiot. It's not Bombay Mix, though. You'd agree. It's not a proper fucking Bombay Mix. Well, what is an official Bombay Mix? I'll tell you. Should I read it out?
Starting point is 00:39:55 Go on. It's very simple. Graham flour, dahl, green peas, chickpeas, rapeseed oil, salt, mixed spices, colour, peanuts. But what makes it different from the other mixes that you can get? Different variations. There's a lot of variations. Some of them have rice krispies. This has none of those.
Starting point is 00:40:13 Now, be quiet. I want to ask you a proper question. It's an Indian snack, we'd imagine. Its basis comes from India, right? Yes. Popular in the UK as a result of the big Indian culture that lives over here I think it probably goes back before that to the Empire yeah true
Starting point is 00:40:28 but is it a snack well known in say Australia Germany, America is it a British thing outside of India I think it probably is actually yeah I've never seen it in America I've never seen it in Florida in the shops yeah but
Starting point is 00:40:44 in terms of the product Is this a noodle? That's not funny You dick So that's the Krishna What would you give that? Well I'll give it a good 8 out of 10
Starting point is 00:41:00 That's great It's not too overwhelming, it's a nice subtle taste Lots of variety of textures 8 We need to move on Man, that's just great. Yeah. It's not too overwhelming. It's a nice subtle taste. Lots of variety of textures. Eight. We need to move on. So we've got... We've got a very packed show. We've got lots to fill in.
Starting point is 00:41:10 So let's move on. We've got another brand of Bombay mix. Well, obviously... It's good price, isn't it, wise? Yeah. It's both 99p for 225 grams. How much is that one? The Krishna is at...
Starting point is 00:41:20 It seems like even more. How many grams? It'll be in the bottom right. 275. Yeah, it's more. So the Krishna is better value than this. So Rajbog. This is Rajbog.
Starting point is 00:41:30 Don't put the fucking Bombay mix near my records, all right? I have been told. All right. So Rajbog. Now, do you know what you got the brand? Rajbag or something. I've never seen this brand before. I think I've seen Krishna before.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Because when I chose these this morning, I got them based on how many of them were on the shelf So these were the two most popular brands In terms of the amount of variety they had on the shelf Okay, I'm going to go in Mate, food The house of pickles has got a spillage on Okay, never mind
Starting point is 00:41:59 Right, I'm going to have a noodle The noodles are softer Yeah Right, I'm going to have a noodle. The noodles are softer. Yeah. Almost tastes like stale. It's staler, isn't it? It's drier, more clumpy. It doesn't have that lightness. It doesn't have the same crunch the noodles need.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Yeah, it doesn't have the crispiness or the lightness. It's not that bad. I just think the crispness is better. It's a bit more muddy. A bit more earthy flavour. Maybe the texture of the noodle puts me off. I think the texture's puts me off. What is different about the texture?
Starting point is 00:42:34 It's just not as crisp. The noodles taste crunchy and they snap when you bite them and they crunch. Whereas those kind of... The Rajbog isn't as good. It's just a softer crunch on the noodle. They seem to actually be spicier as well, the Rajbog. It's got a slightly more of a tinge to it. It's got more of a chilli strength on the first bite.
Starting point is 00:42:53 You know what I really like about Bombay Mix? What? The little peanuts, little greasy peanuts. Oh. With the skin still on. Come on. All right, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:02 I like Bombay Mix a lot. All right. But that is definitely not as good, the Rajbog. No. And also, it's still on. Come on. All right. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I like Bombay mix a lot. All right. But that is definitely not as good, the Rajamouli. No. And also, it's more expensive. Yeah, that's true. So I'll give that a seven. On the cover, it says, too tasty to put down.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Do you agree? No, I just put it down. Yeah, I know. So factually incorrect. And also doesn't mention the word noodles. But it's another thing that Krishna has going for it. True. Made in the UK. Vegetarian. That. True. Made in the UK, vegetarian.
Starting point is 00:43:26 That's interesting. Made in the UK, where was this made? Dagenham. Dagenham. Which is in Essex. So both of them, that is the official Bombay mix mix. You've got the peas, chickpeas. It's all in there.
Starting point is 00:43:37 The lentils and three dices of noodle and then peanuts. That's it, man. Yeah. You don't want to be fucking with it. So both of those get top marks from me. So what have you given that one? Seven. I'll give it it, man. Yeah. You don't want to be fucking with it. So both of those get top marks from me. So what have you given that one? Seven. I'll give it seven as well.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Okay. Since you asked. Did we like those Bombay mix? Yeah, I did. Would you actually prefer it if it had coconut in? In all honesty, Paul. It's not that I prefer it, but if it's in there, it's a nice little bonus. I don't like raisins.
Starting point is 00:44:00 I agree with you on that. But if there's coconut in there, I'm like, that's fine. I'll allow it. You can live with it it you can live with it I can live with it now all of that spicy spicy Bombay mix Paul

Starting point is 00:45:55 And that is iced tea. Yes. But you like your iced tea, don't you? I love an iced tea. Now, there's something unusual about these iced teas, Paul. Before we get there, though, a little bit of background. Okay, you like it. What's the best brand usually known
Starting point is 00:46:06 in the UK? Lipton's is the main brand. It only started a few years ago to actually have any kind of iced tea in shops. It's not a very British item, is it? They drink it on the continent. I think the Spanish drink it and in America, of course, it's huge. But only in recent years
Starting point is 00:46:22 have you seen any kind of iced tea in Britain and I for one Paul I'm glad get away from the Bombay mix I will fucking do not ignore me while I'm
Starting point is 00:46:31 am I coming across as angry I'm moving the mix away from the sauce right sorry do you want to pull my pants down and smack my bottom no I do not
Starting point is 00:46:42 I'll get it out no do not get your arse out of there I'll get my little body out. Do not do that. Thank you for supporting us on Patreon for this quality comedy content. Right, so we're doing drinks and we're doing iced tea. And Lipton's the best one. I personally like Charity, which is quite an expensive brand that's come in America.
Starting point is 00:46:58 And they do a mate. Have you known mate? No. It's a Peruvian tea. And it's like a different kind of tea. Okay. But they do a fizzy one. It's a Peruvian tea, and it's like a different kind of tea. Okay. But they do a fizzy one, and it's very nice. When the moon hits you, I like a big piece of pie.
Starting point is 00:47:11 That's a mate. That's a mate. A mate. Zinga-linga-ling, ninga-linga-ling. Go on. So today, the thing about all the other iced teas I've seen is they're non-carbonated. No, they're flat. This is fizzy iced tea.
Starting point is 00:47:26 It is made by London Juice Company. Okay, fair enough. London Juice Company, Simply Iced Tea. Right, is this anything special? No, that's it. And it is fizzy. There are three brands we have with us today. Three flavours?
Starting point is 00:47:40 It's all the same brand? Three flavours, sorry, yes. And it has a sort of Taj Mahal-shaped... It's got an Indian-esque design to it. I like the design on these. Yeah, they're all right. They're nice and colourful. Very colourful.
Starting point is 00:47:55 So what are the free flavours we've got? We've got lemon iced tea. Lemon iced tea. There he is. Let's see. Raspberry iced tea. Lipton have that as well. And a peach iced tea. These are all brands that Lipton do. Don't put. Raspberry iced tea. Oh. Lipton have that as well. And a peach iced tea.
Starting point is 00:48:06 These are all brands that Lipton do. Don't put it on the table. Sorry. Fucking well, it's a table. Yeah. But it's also got recording equipment on it. Warriors. Come out to play.
Starting point is 00:48:19 I get to say it. Fucking hell. There's peach, there's cunt. I don't know. Right. So, I've got some ice here, Paul. Yeah. I think we should start with the lemon.
Starting point is 00:48:34 Stop banging things on the table. I don't understand what you don't get about that. Right, down here? Is that okay down here? Yes. I need to... There's a practical element to this podcast, Paul, that you're just ignoring with your over- don't touch my popcorns don't touch my mic why the fuck off i'm gonna kick your face off i'm gonna just gonna can we just get on with
Starting point is 00:48:57 this session yes got a lot to pack in we're gonna start with the lemon iced tea paul yeah it's fizzy i'll pull some out now i've had this before i don't know Lemon iced tea, Paul. Yeah. It's fizzy. Pull some out. Now, I've had this before. I don't know. They are basically trying... It's hard making it much more like a soft drink, like a soda. It's a soda iced tea. It smells all right.
Starting point is 00:49:16 It smells like lemonade. Yeah. It's very sweet. It's not very fizzy, though. I will say that. Oh, he's always... You're such a fizz Nazi. Froth is very important to me, Eli. You should know that by now.'re such a fizz Nazi. Froth is very important to me, Eli.
Starting point is 00:49:25 You should know that by now. He's a fizz Nazi. So we ate the other day, and I got some food, and I said, I'll shout Paul a fancy root beer. So I got this root beer, and I don't know what the company was, but it was very poor. Awful, very poor root beer. British company, though.
Starting point is 00:49:38 We do know that. So what do you think of that iced tea? That's all right, actually. It's quite refreshing. It's not awful. It tastes... Do you know what it actually tastes like to me? Like a very, very watered-down shandy.
Starting point is 00:49:50 Stop putting things on the fucking table. Anything else to say? Yeah, the washing machine's on, and I can hear it in the background. There's probably nothing you can do about that. It's all part of the lovely ambience. So, he's finished that. That's nice. Well, we've got two more to taste. I'll have to drink from the same
Starting point is 00:50:08 cup. Disgusting. I'll just have it from the bottle. You have it from the glass and I'll have it from the bottle. Alright. So, what would you say for the first one? I think that's quite nice. Yeah. I like something that tastes of tea more and less of lemon. Yeah. It was more lemon heavy.
Starting point is 00:50:23 The tea's very much in the background out of 10 I'd give it 6.5 yeah alright 6.5 yeah so we're moving on to flavour number 2
Starting point is 00:50:31 I mean I get in I like iced tea with no sugar added that's what I'm into okay like jasmine green or green yeah
Starting point is 00:50:37 like Korean or Japanese ones that's what I really like that's really refreshing really you get the tea cannon kind of flavour you get proper tea flavour and it's very refreshing that's what I tea cannon kind of flavour. You get a proper tea flavour and it's very refreshing. That's what I'm trying to
Starting point is 00:50:47 not drink sugary drinks. But here we are on the peach flavoured one. Peach. Awaken your senses, this says. Simply iced tea peach. I'm going to let you have the first sip there. Oh, that's got much more again, very peachy. Very little tea.
Starting point is 00:51:04 It's like a peach soda. It's nice, though. And weirdly, the fizz makes it feel like you've got a bit of peach in your mouth. That kind of little fuzzy, fizzy fuzz. You like that? A little bit of fuzzy, fizzy froth that I like. Do you prefer that to like a Lipton's? It's been a very long while since I've had a Lipton's.
Starting point is 00:51:16 You're not into iced tea, just as a concept, are you? It's never one of those things I think of when I go, oh, soft drink. Yeah, I do. No, that's fair enough. I do. Okay. But that's nice. Peach was nicer than the lemon? Yes. I think of when I go, oh, soft drink. Yeah, I do. No, that's fair enough. I do. Okay. But that's nice.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Peach was nicer than the lemon? Yes. I think so. I'd definitely drink more of the peach. What, are you going to go up to a seven? Or what did you say for the last one? Seven and a half. 7.5.
Starting point is 00:51:35 Oh. It's all right, though. I'd spend, that's 99p. I'd spend 99p on that. Yeah, not too bad. And the last of these, Paul. Oh. Is raspberry.
Starting point is 00:51:45 In a packed show, lots to get through. Lots to get through. The last one. And this is the last of these, Paul, is raspberry. Packed show, lots to get through. Lots to get through. The last one. And this is the last of the fizzy iced teas. Yeah. Oh, fuck. Excuse me. We are very gaseous.
Starting point is 00:51:55 Yeah, we are, aren't we? Not me. You just did burp, though. Yes, but the gas was from the thing. I'm making an excuse. That's what I'm saying. I'm not normally just... Yeah, ringy dingy dingy doo. A whittly hoo, a diddly doo. You open this saying. I'm not normally just... A-ring-a-ding-a-ding-a-do.
Starting point is 00:52:07 A-whittle-a-hoo, a-diddle-a-doo. You open this one. I'll open this one. What do you think about artificial raspberry flavour generally, Paul? Depends on what it is. Because there is that... I don't know if it's a myth, but there is a quite strong indication that the flavour, the artificial raspberry flavour, is derived
Starting point is 00:52:23 from a beaver's arsehole I'm not even joking I couldn't possibly comment it's a beaver gland from a gland they take an extract out of a beaver's never regions
Starting point is 00:52:32 an anus around his anal gland he's got squirty glands in the anus what does the anal gland do if it's not the anus it gives you all squirty stuff this is why we don't do
Starting point is 00:52:41 travel shows or wildlife shows or anything that involves knowledge it squirts you know like sex juice into your arsehole from the inside. Well, I'm hoping you're taking a sample of that. So this is raspberry iced tea, simply iced tea.
Starting point is 00:52:55 And this is the last one from the ladder juice cavity. It does weirdly feel like it should be alcoholic, but it's not. Maybe it's because it comes in a bottle. Yeah. It should be alcoholic, but it's not. Maybe it's because it comes in a bottle. Yeah. It's a strange crossover that I hadn't really envisaged,
Starting point is 00:53:10 but they do do it. They do do it. They do fizzy iced tea, don't they? We've had it. We've got it on the show. We're drinking it. Doing it. Just drink some.
Starting point is 00:53:17 I'm having some. Pat show. No, that's the raspberry one. No. No. I don't know. Do you want it officially? No, it just kind of
Starting point is 00:53:26 feels a little bit weak. No, to me that's got a kind of chemically sort of A little chemically. It's got a kind of chemical aftertaste. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:37 The flavours are very artificial. Most artificial flavour are of the cleaning fluid. Yeah, basically. You know, it does taste like It's like it's derived from a beaver's gland. Oh.
Starting point is 00:53:46 Right. I'll give that six. Maybe even 5.5. 5.5. I was going to say. So that's been... Is that it? That is not it.
Starting point is 00:53:54 No. Let's move on. Let's move it on. And what else you got in the bag there, Paul? Well, this is a bag that you harvested. So tell me about your harvest. Let's stick for the second with Indian and Southeast Asian ones because we tried before
Starting point is 00:54:08 the catchy mango bites. An interesting flavour. Bit grassy, bit juicy, bit fruity. I liked them. And now we have Pass Pass Pulse Guava and Tangy Twist. Same sort of format sweet but this is guava instead
Starting point is 00:54:24 of mango. Fascinating thing. All in their little individual packets, there's a hard-boiled style sweet. Why is it called Pulse? Is it just the brand name? There's a very guavary smell coming off. Even in my besnotted state, Paul, it's
Starting point is 00:54:39 breaking. There's an odour of guava. There is. There's a strong odour of guava, and it's not entirely unpleasant, is it? Are you having some trouble getting the fucking sweet out of the thing there? No, I'm done. Oh. Oh. What an interesting flavour.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Guava. Yeah. It's almost got a spice element to it. Oh, no. Oh, no. Mr. Smitty. Oh, no. Mr. Spitty. Mr. Spitty, here you go, Paul. Are you going to have to spit out?
Starting point is 00:55:11 Are you spitting out? I'm going to go, Paul. I wasn't expecting that, ladies and gentlemen, today. I'm going to bite down on my... He really doesn't. Paul does not like that. Oh, God. That is...
Starting point is 00:55:34 Oh, God. Oh, mate. I've got tissue. Paul. For fuck's sake, Paul. I know it's a dirty room, but look, you're dripping saliva from your hands, man. I've got tissue. Oh, God. I know it's a dirty room, but look, you're dripping saliva from your hands, man.
Starting point is 00:55:46 That's not tissue. Oh, God. There's saliva on the floor. That was the most disgusting fucking thing I've ever put in my mouth. I'm still trying to enjoy mine. Have you spit it into it yet? I'm going to do that now.
Starting point is 00:56:00 It's quite a pleasant guava taste. Bite into it. Oh. It's quite a pleasant guava taste. Bite into it. They're off. They're off or something. There's egg. There's a sulphury egg. Oh God.
Starting point is 00:56:20 They're actually off in the inside, I think. It was a little release of pure egg. Oh, that's... Sorry. That really was bad. They had egg inside. Right, let's move on. Can you pass me any one of the... Can you pass me the peach drink, please?
Starting point is 00:56:39 Yeah. I hope we're not poisoned. It was an egg-y guava egg surprise. That was a bad twist so let's just we just say zero oh god it started off quite nice
Starting point is 00:56:51 the outside acceptable and then it went egg that's sulfuric eggy I don't know if that's what the men are taste of
Starting point is 00:56:57 or they're off or something what's the last thing please don't let that be off no that's that's not that's not the last thing yet Paul god we've been doing this for fucking ever.
Starting point is 00:57:06 Just try not to fucking almost vomit and puke all over the floor. And spit on the floor. No promises. That was a really harsh experience. Very nice. E.Widdle, since 1851, has been making these. What was the name? E.Widdle.
Starting point is 00:57:23 They manufacture, these are posh Jaffa cakes. Raspberry flavoured Jaffa cakes. It's the original Weddle chocolate sponge cakes with raspberry jelly in dark chocolate. These are posh-arsed Jaffas. Are they? Yeah. It's dark chocolate for one.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Oh God, I've got that egg sort of rattling around. It's lingering. I'm going to have a sip of something. Have a sip, it helps. Wash the egg man away. These are really nice though, Paul. Have it. There you go. Describe that.
Starting point is 00:57:54 It looks like a Jaffa cake, my friend. Does it look exactly like a Jaffa cake? Yeah, pretty much. It lacks a little bit of texture. Look, it's got nice posh writing on the bottom. Do you want me to explain or are you just going to talk over me? Because you don't listen. Go on, go on.
Starting point is 00:58:06 Looks like a Jaffa cake it's got less design on the top so it's a bit flat on top instead of the chocolate draping on the jam beneath it's less trellised it's also got
Starting point is 00:58:14 E. Weddle or Weddle or Weddle tattooed on it in a kind of branded way trademark very good detailing
Starting point is 00:58:22 on the branding isn't it you can really make out the letters nice touch let's just go ahead and bite it that's not bad Branded well, yeah. Trademark. Very good detailing on the branding, isn't it? You can really make out the letters. Nice touch. Let's just go ahead and bite it. That's not bad. Not bad. The raspberry flavour, it's a bit stewed.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Do you know what I mean? It's like a bit sort of like in a fruit cake. Yeah. It's got that kind of fruit cakey. Like caramelised too much. Not like a fresh raspberry flavour. No. Like a sort of concentrated... You know what I'm getting at? Like Not like a fresh raspberry flavour. No. Like a sort of concentrated...
Starting point is 00:58:46 You know what I'm getting at? Like cakey sort of raspberry flavour. It's all right. I like that. I'm not that keen. It's actually the... I like the dark chocolate. It's the biscuit that I don't like.
Starting point is 00:58:56 The sponge is a bit too... A bit too... Powdery. Yeah. A little bit too crumbly for my liking. I do quite like that. That's fine, though. That's great.
Starting point is 00:59:02 That's great. Six out of ten for me for that. Really? Is that it? Yeah. I'm going to go 7.5 do quite like those. That's fine, though. That's great. That's great. Six out of ten for me for that. Oh, really? Is that it? Yeah. I'm going to go 7.5. Oh, okay, well. Weddle, e-weddle.
Starting point is 00:59:09 Oh, yeah. Right now, Paul. Oh, mate, how much more? I can't fucking take this. We said it was going to be a big one, didn't we? Yeah, but Jesus. Now, this is a snack that I've enjoyed recently quite a lot. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:59:22 I feel like I've been poisoned. I feel like I've been given a sugar high. This is a bespoke thing that I've been getting in the shop in Chinatown. Adrian's Delicacies make these, and they're very DIY, aren't they? Because they have... They don't look cheap eat to me. They're £1.85 for a whole of that. That's not cheap eat.
Starting point is 00:59:40 You can taste these garlic peanuts if it's the last thing you do. These will not make you retch. These are very nice. So you get peanuts and salt, oil, garlic, MSG. So they're very, very, very nice and umami. But also bad for you. No, MSG has been cleared. Oh, has it?
Starting point is 00:59:58 It doesn't give you headaches. I didn't know that. It just makes it more umami. It is the essence of umami. Yeah, but I thought it was just like bad for your cholesterol or something. Have some of those. Okay. Very greasy.
Starting point is 01:00:11 Yeah, they're all right. Now, the good thing about those because unfortunately I ate it all out. Yeah. Is you get little bits of deep fried garlic, crunchy deep fried garlic in there. I'm sorry they're all gone, so you can't really give that a score.
Starting point is 01:00:26 But let me just say nine. Nine for Adrian's garlic peanuts. 7.5 for me. Not even fucking listening. Look at him. 7.5, yeah? I did listen. Horrible food.
Starting point is 01:00:35 That's cheap eats then, is it? Is that anything else? I've got nothing else. You know what else can we take? Hot sauces? Ooh. Ooh. I'm giving him a food. My top condiment. I've given him a food...
Starting point is 01:00:46 My top condiment. I've given you a food bonk on. Yeah, top condiment there, mate. No, it's all right. I think we'll do. That's enough food. I think I've had a really weird... I mean, that egg thing was weird.
Starting point is 01:00:55 I'm sorry. I did not plan that, Paul. I know you didn't. By your reaction, I realised. I thought you were overreacting, and then I bit into it. And then you realised. The heart of eggness.
Starting point is 01:01:02 I entered the heart of eggness. The heart of eggness. You're right fucking did fuck me but those garlic honestly those off
Starting point is 01:01:09 slamming things on the fucking table sorry Paul dismal my life's dismal yeah it is and it deserves to be fuck you
Starting point is 01:01:19 deserves to be here comes my fucking friend my only friend on the podcast yeah Jane hello hey Dean how you doing no no Deserves to be. Here comes my fucking friend, my only friend on the podcast. Yeah. Jane. Hello. Hey, Jane, how you doing? No, no.
Starting point is 01:01:28 I'm Jimmy Biscuits and I come from the past with all the things you remember that you like. Hey, do you remember... I remember when you... We're not putting that gag in. We're not putting that gag in. I remember when Jimmy Biscuits, as well as breathing. In fact, the reason that Jane, me, that is, has this breathing problem is...
Starting point is 01:01:54 That is not being left in the episode. Just not putting that in the episode. Fucking fine. That's disgusting. I know what Jimmy Biscuits is up to. No, he's not up to anything. I know what he's up to. Nostalgia, yeah, it's great. Fucking...
Starting point is 01:02:08 Don't come round here. I'm angry. Jimmy Biscuits just want to say he's been misrepresented by the press. That was an eggy look. I think it has gone off. I don't want to look at that. It's gross. That is nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty. So that was, I thought that was on the whole, quite a good episode of Cheap Eats.
Starting point is 01:02:24 That was a packed rollercoaster. Now, I'd just like to say on the Bombay mix topic, we should taste, because there are, and I noticed here, a lot of different legitimate mix profiles that have different names. And on the Rajbog, they have listed... There's one called Sev. Yeah. Spicy Sev. Yeah. Spicy Sev. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:46 Sev Mumra. Mumra? Thundercats? Yeah, literally. It's Sev Mumra, yeah. Thundercats! Boondi. Mate. Excuse me. Masala Boondi. Nylon Sev. Ha!
Starting point is 01:03:02 That sounds like a fucking great band name. Nylon Sev. Yeah, What? That sounds like a fucking great band name. Nylon Sev. Yeah, man. Yeah, maybe. Fucking excellent. Nylon Sev, Paul. Fuli Githaya.
Starting point is 01:03:13 Tikka Githaya. Did you see me? Then they've got Bombay Mix. These are gam. They've got some fucking extensive range of tasty snacks. I'm telling you that right now. Lentils. There's lentil ones.
Starting point is 01:03:24 Mate, this is the most detailed breakdown of all the snacks I've ever seen. It's boring. Perhaps that's why Rajbog is more expensive. You get a lot of detail and information about the snacks there. Stop being Bombay mix boring. Right. Ladies and gentlemen. Good.
Starting point is 01:03:40 What do you prefer? Some sweets. Some English sweets. No, I like Bombay mix. Yeah. With Union Jack on. Fuck off. In your underpants.
Starting point is 01:03:49 Just shut up now. Shitty underpants. Shut up. We're done for half an hour and ending this segment. Say sorry. I'm not saying sorry for anything
Starting point is 01:03:56 apart from that egg thing. Can you wash out that your... You do it. Do it. Wash out my mouth grumble. I'm not washing your mouth grumble. You fucking do it. I'm ready. Are you ready? Because it's time for one of my... I just said.
Starting point is 01:04:17 I mean, how stupid is that? Three seconds. And you got contentious. You're such a little grotty, miserable, soiled. You're going to be nice. I've given up. Why? I put so much love into this.
Starting point is 01:04:31 I craft this show with my own two hands. And you walk in and you walk up. I don't walk in anyway. You walk in and you walk up. This is my room. You walked in here. I walk in and you walk up to this room. And you're all Mr. Attitude.
Starting point is 01:04:42 walk up to this room and you're all Mr Attitude. Mr Highfalutin Don Tootin Yosemite Sam Scum. Today on Cheap Show we're going to play Scoop. We're going to play a board game called Scoop. It's Scoop everyone. And Paul
Starting point is 01:04:58 has been collecting the board games and this is a bit of a coup and this is one of the most interesting ones you've brought into the studio. As far as I'm concerned Paul, okay. As far as I'm concerned, Paul, as far as I'm speaking, I don't know why I'm talking like this, but it doesn't matter. I don't know, but it's condescending. Yeah, so I like this. It's a 1940s version.
Starting point is 01:05:14 I'll tell you the fact, it's called Scoop. This is released by Waddington, which was the company that released a lot of popular games back then, like Cluedo and I believe Monopoly back in the day. I know it's all bought by Hasbro now. Did they have Scrabble, Waddingtons at one stage?
Starting point is 01:05:31 Maybe. I honestly don't know. 1953 was the year this was first published. And I think this version is the 50s version of it. It must be. I mean, it could easily date back as far as there being a first edition, couldn't it? Yeah. 1953. It's very much got that vintage look to it.
Starting point is 01:05:45 Oh, it's a beautiful looking game. It's a very complete set, I have to say, Paul. I'm quite impressed. It's a bit aged and a bit battered, but ultimately, it's in really good condition. It comes with this editor's phone, which we'll go into later, but it's a little cardboard bit of magic
Starting point is 01:05:58 that you pull a little dial and it changes the cardboard reply that you get depending on the number that you call on this cardboard phone thing. Yes. And that's still got its handle because you can imagine that breaking very easily. Very easily.
Starting point is 01:06:11 I mean, there's a little bit of damage to the handle on the paper, but, you know. It's still attached. It's still attached. It still works. It's still fine. It's got that nice 50s musty style to it. Now, just sum up the game.
Starting point is 01:06:23 Just sum it up, okay? Scoop, the object is to completely fill the blank page of a newspaper with stories and advertisements of as high a value as possible. You get a choice of five papers of the times to play so you can choose from the Daily Chronicle, the Telegraph, the Times, the Daily Express and the Daily
Starting point is 01:06:38 Sketch are represented. This is a little bit different I think because I think they're talking about the American version and this is the British version. So I say what's... Yeah, have a look at what cards we've got. The papers that we've got here. Yeah. News Chronicle.
Starting point is 01:06:49 Don't remember that. Daily Express. Yeah, still around. Daily Mail. Boo! Still there. Daily Fail, am I right? And the Daily Telegraph.
Starting point is 01:06:58 There you go. We've got four. Four to choose from. There should be five, did it say? One, two, three, four. Well, there's five here, but maybe one's missing. Will that affect the game and our ability to play it? Are you sure, Paul?
Starting point is 01:07:12 Yeah, because only me and you and me pick one card each. I might just give up now. I might just give up. Well, thank you for listening to Cheap Show, then. Because Eli doesn't want to get his ass handed to him again. So we have to fill the page with stories. And how do you get them? Well, let's find out.
Starting point is 01:07:26 The total value of the full page can vary considerably according to the individual totals marked on the back of each story card that you pick up. You can't have a look at them until you put them in. That's part of the thing. No, because they have values on, so you know how much the story's worth.
Starting point is 01:07:40 So you take from the top when you have to grab one. And then you keep it a secret until the end. Or until the timer runs out as we'll be playing it. Okay. So we're playing. Players? News editors. Basically we play the role of news editors. It's a role playing news player.
Starting point is 01:07:55 But you fill the pages up with these story cards. It's weird. This is a time when it was sort of glamorous. Because you wouldn't think of that now. It being a glamorous job. Well the idea is, in this, it's more of a card game, really. So the idea is, players need to collect or buy three cards that show a reporter, a photographer,
Starting point is 01:08:13 and a telephone card. When you collect all three, a call is made to the cardboard telephone to the editor, the thing I was showing you there, and then based on the number on the front of the card, you dial that, and then it comes up with, if you can press ahead with it and add it to your page, or whether you don't get the chance to
Starting point is 01:08:28 and you have to throw it back into the pile. Things of that nature. Stop looking at me as if I'm about to fuck this explanation up when I'm basically reading it off this website. Let's just get going. No. If approved, the player takes the top card from the story deck and places it on the newspaper page,
Starting point is 01:08:42 and then that's it. It gets a little bit more complicated, but we'll try and play a reasonably simplified version. Do you have the rules? Yeah, they're right here. Well, we have to follow the rules. Yeah, we will. That was just from BoardGameGeek, the website. Because there's things like...
Starting point is 01:08:55 Okay, so let's just pick a card first. Pick one of the front pages. Who do you want to be? Well, the News Chronicle. I hope that wasn't a Nazi one. And I'll be the bad guys. I'll be the Daily Fail. Am I right, listeners? We hate the poor. Kill people of colour.
Starting point is 01:09:11 Don't trust Johnny Foreigner. Isn't the Queen nice? Yeah, very broad satire of the Daily Mail. Theresa May's got great legs and a perfect pair of tits. Right, that was wrong in so many ways. Okay. You're the male Would you have sex with Theresa May?
Starting point is 01:09:28 Are you asking me as a serious question? Yeah There's a pricing structure to this Is there? Endeavour, yeah Let's just say She gets blackmailed And it's like
Starting point is 01:09:37 It's a bit like that Black Mirror episode Where instead of fucking a pig She has to fuck you On TV Well, what am I getting out of this? Millions Yes Yeah? I would do it for a million quid Yeah, but Well, what am I getting out of this? Millions. Yes. Yeah?
Starting point is 01:09:45 I would do it for a million quid. Yeah, but you'd be... Do I have to be erect? Could they give me some drugs for that? Well, we're moving on. Let's play Scoop. So, you've picked the front page. News Chronicle.
Starting point is 01:09:55 Daily Mail. We've both been given the bank money in the game. You've got a pile just there. Oh, I didn't see that. That is $2,500. Loads of money. Simples. Loads of money. Loads of money. Simples.
Starting point is 01:10:09 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, like this, 900, 100, 1100, 1200, 1300, did I say that? 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700,400. 1,500. 1,600.
Starting point is 01:10:26 1,700. 1,800. 1,900. 1,200. I've got 2,500. That's how much you should have. Yeah? Yeah?
Starting point is 01:10:40 Yeah. Good. What this? I steal your money, do I? No. What do we use the money to pay for? Stories? Stories and bits and bobs.
Starting point is 01:10:47 You've opened it up. There are flaps at the side of this. I'm opening my flaps, Paul. Now, on the flaps, you've got two sides, right? Oh, I've got to get this, lay this out. You can put it on your bed. You'll be fine. We're in.
Starting point is 01:10:56 How long till estimated game kick-off time, Paul? Soon. Right? I've got my money. I've got my paper news thing. Now do I start picking cards? Yes. What cards do I need to pick right okay so here we go each player makes a telephone call to any blah blah blah yeah now that's the part of the girl could you read it out if it is a rule that i need to know because
Starting point is 01:11:15 you know so it's just telling me that these cards need to be face up so the value is face down so you can't see how much they are because you have to take them from the top each time. Okay, and there are four different kinds of cards there. They correspond to these gaps on your page. So you need to fill... General story, two general stories. Yep. Two crime stories, two ads at the bottom. Star stories in the middle.
Starting point is 01:11:39 And there is a triple star story. Tell me about that, Paul. So that whole middle column is for three star stories. Now, three star stories just mean they're the most prized stories. Triple star stories. What did I say? Three star. Same difference.
Starting point is 01:11:57 The triple star stories are quite highly valued, right? But you can fill it up with either one big story and two small, or four small, or two big stories. Or one triple star. Triple star story. Yeah. Shit! He spilt his drink, ladies and gentlemen.
Starting point is 01:12:15 Oh, fuck. Not funny. It is, though. Now he's going to have to go to Mount Groppant and find some wayward... Oh, that's a big spillage. It's all over my cables. I'm not happy about this.
Starting point is 01:12:30 Give my cables a wipe. Ladies and gentlemen, I can only apologise for this. This is our... This is our Someone Calls Up Five Star. It's melting the Bombay mix. Save the Bombay mix. Save the Bombay mix. Okay, that'll have to do the interim port.
Starting point is 01:12:47 Now I've got a very, very sticky cable. Sticky cable. It's all wet. It's all wet. Well, it'll dry out. It's all wet now. You've got, look at this. Look what you've made me do.
Starting point is 01:12:59 Fine, okay? I'm ready to play. This room's a disgrace. I'm ready to play. So I pick cards and we try and put them in there that's it rules each player takes a newspaper blank
Starting point is 01:13:07 and places it in front of him we've done that to the left flap you get type of form in the absence that means if you've got any cards you want to keep hold of and not trade
Starting point is 01:13:14 you can put them in those gaps however that means I do know what you have in your hand and I can steal those if I want to if the rule says I can right the right hand side flap
Starting point is 01:13:23 is just where you theoretically put your money you don't have to it's just there your money. You don't have to. It's just there, alright? The middle part... Don't you... You don't have to put it on that flap.
Starting point is 01:13:30 It's just a place where you could. Can I, like, stick it in my vest? No, it's not touching your body, you filth. Right. Each player makes a phone call to any number of his choice. And the first player
Starting point is 01:13:41 to obtain a triple star is the dealer. So we can play with this thing or me and you can just decide which one wants to be the cash dealer. Do you want to do it? I'll deal the cash. I've worked in a casino. Yeah, but not a newspaper.
Starting point is 01:13:52 Yeah, but I'm handling the cash, right? Yeah, you are. So that means that cash in those stories on that table. I'll handle it. Right. We'll just skip that. And now we've decided you're the dealer. I'm the dealer.
Starting point is 01:14:00 Right. Right. The dealer shuffles the pack of scoop cards and deals three cards. Oh, I've got the scoop cards. Very nice. Do you want to open one up at random and just see what's on the back? I've the dealer. Right. Right. The dealer shuffles the pack of scoop cards and deals three cards. Oh, I've got the scoop cards. Very nice. Do you want to open one up at random and just see what's on the back? I've got one. It just says photographer.
Starting point is 01:14:11 Yeah. Another one says telephone and a number. There we go. A three-digit number. And that's what numbers used to be, didn't they, Paul, when the phones started to come out? Corn Birkenhead 363. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:21 London, two double one. Imagine that, only having to remember three numbers. These days, you don't have to remember numbers at all, because you just pre-program it into your phone, and then when you lose your phone, you're in the woods in the middle of the night and you find a payphone, you can't go home, because you go, what's my mum's number? Oh, no. And then you hear the man in the background go,
Starting point is 01:14:37 I'm coming to get you. I think I'd go for 999, Paul, I still know that one. What's that? What do you mean? What's that? No, fuck off. 999. Stop doing your cards anyway. I've shuffled the cards.
Starting point is 01:14:51 They're very truly shuffled. Now he says, I'll deal with you some. Deal three cards face down to each player. This is good because there's all this equipment in the way. Don't put it there. You can just fucking... I have to deal them. Just listen.
Starting point is 01:15:04 All right Alright go on You're being a prick about this You want to play games Let's play games Yeah we are But you're making a fucking There's three cards Right good
Starting point is 01:15:11 You're making a shit out of it You're making it shit I've got my three cards Do I look at those? Hang on I don't know We're going through I did have a little
Starting point is 01:15:19 Read of this beforehand And think It's still worth going through The rest of the playing cards Are placed face down In the centre of the table, so just put them there. Just put them there.
Starting point is 01:15:27 Put them there. That's going to be problematic. But it's easier for us both to reach than me behind there. You know what? You're a fucking menace. They're there. If you didn't live in such squalid filth, maybe we'd have more space to play. If you didn't have all sorts of wires going around everywhere.
Starting point is 01:15:41 At this point, there are no discard pile, but I imagine any cards dealt back into the thing will be next to that. Yes. All right. Okay. The first player to discard puts his discard alongside.
Starting point is 01:15:51 Yeah. Discard pile is then. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So sticks rules about that card. Each player takes 2,500. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:57 We've got that. Okay. To obtain a story, a player must collect three cards according to the indication on the story space on your newspaper blank. So if you look at it, see general story, a player must collect three cards according to the indication on the story space on your newspaper blank. So if you look at it, see general story, the red dot, it means you have to get a general reporter, a photographer, or a telephone card in your hand. Okay.
Starting point is 01:16:15 And you then trade those three in for a story. You have to get three of them? Yeah, in your hand to trade in for the cards over there. Yeah? Yeah. To obtain a story, the player must collect three cards according on the indication... Yeah, who doesn't that? An advert is similar,
Starting point is 01:16:27 but you must have space salesman, artist, and advertiser's approval, and then the same process happens with the editor machine over there. Triple star stories could only be obtained by a telephone decision. So that means you may collect enough for a story, right?
Starting point is 01:16:41 Yeah. Pay attention. But if you dial on the phone and it says three star story, you can get one of those instead then. That's how you get it. That's how you bump it up. Alright. Alright? Yeah. If a player is telephoning for a decision on a story and gets the
Starting point is 01:16:53 triple star signal, he gets to pick a triple star story and place it on his front page. At a player's turn, he may, after examining his cards, do one of the following. Change a card. First by throwing away, and then taking one from the top of the stockpile. Costs nothing to do that, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:09 Draw a card. Sorry? You can draw one from the top. Yeah. One out, one in. Yeah. Put one or two cards out of hand on the Ab- Ab-
Starting point is 01:17:17 Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab-
Starting point is 01:17:18 Ab- What's that? Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab-
Starting point is 01:17:19 Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab-
Starting point is 01:17:19 Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab-
Starting point is 01:17:20 Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab-
Starting point is 01:17:21 Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab-
Starting point is 01:17:23 Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab-
Starting point is 01:17:23 Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab- Ab-D.D.D.D.D.D. Type, form and abeyance. Forme and abeyance. What the fuck is that? I don't know. So you can put one or two cards on that. You can store them there in the type, form and abeyance. And buy one or two cards for £100 each from the stockpile.
Starting point is 01:17:33 So let's just say you put two cards down in that space. And I can buy more. You can spend... How much, say? I think it only allows you to pick one or two. How many you put down, you can only replace. So you only have three in your hand at one time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:45 Yeah. So far, making sense. You have to buy more if you put them in there. Yeah. So even if you then get a hand, you have to wait to your next turn to get that hand in. Yeah. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 01:17:59 Once cards have been placed in abbeyance, they cannot be moved until they form part of the qualifying set of cards. Type before me in abbeyance. Yeah. So you can't play any of those cards until you have the third one that fills them out. I have to have a set of three? Yeah. Before I play it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:10 Fine. To claim a story advertisement. If the player's got all the three necessary cards, he may claim a story. And then that's when you look at the number on that story, which it tells you. Yeah, okay. So when you get your telephone card for your hand,
Starting point is 01:18:23 that has the number on, which tells you what number to dial I'm reading the rules out I know it's very dry and not very funny But you're just sitting there Vagaring away Vagaring away Right
Starting point is 01:18:36 Christ The three cards may be made up in any of the following As explained in rule four If your favourable decision is obtain with a story editor, you can pick up that card free of charge. But if the decision is unfavourable, he may make up his hand by buying cards from the pack
Starting point is 01:18:52 to make up his loss. So let's just say you hand all three in and the editor says, no, you can't run the story. You lose those three cards and then you have to pay 300. What if I run out of money? Then your game's over
Starting point is 01:19:02 and then we judge who's got the most money based on the stories they have on their page. Okay. Yeah? Yeah? All right. Bankruptcy, funnily enough. If a player becomes bankrupt at any stage of the game,
Starting point is 01:19:11 he must turn over all the copy on his newspaper blank and allow any player... Oh, he can sell his cards, basically. Yeah, it's not the end of the game. So what you said before was wrong. Yeah. Okay. So maybe the game plays until you fill out the whole page
Starting point is 01:19:21 and the first person who fills it out wins. Yes. But we're going to put a time limit. We're going to put a time limit on this. And then that's basically the story, basically. There's a scoop on scoop. That's it. That's the scoop on scoop.
Starting point is 01:19:32 Thank you, Paul. Are we ready? That was dry. But at least you're fucking happy now with the rules, right? Let's dampen this podcast. Wet it up. Let me get my clock out. Pour your jism on me.
Starting point is 01:19:46 Timer. 20 minutes, 25, 30. Oil my crotch. Shut up. How many minutes do you want to play this for? How long? 20. Yeah?

Go back to your part of the room. Because I'll do damage and I gave you the rules and you reasonably understand alright ok yeah go back

Starting point is 01:21:01 Play Scoop. Yes. Start the clock. Right, here we go. So do you want to go first then? All right. So let's have a look at our hands. Let's have a look at what I've got.
Starting point is 01:21:15 What do I need for my story? You need three of something, yeah? So I either need a general report, a photographer. Okay, so what does... Oh, that's an advertiser's thing. So I've got... I'm going to draw one. Photographer. All right.
Starting point is 01:21:22 Am I going? Yeah, hang on. Photographer. Yeah, all right. I know what I'm going to do you're going to draw one, swap one you've got to put one down first before you pick one up that's the risk, that's the game otherwise you'll know

Starting point is 01:22:11 And that's it. That's your hand. I... How many cards have you got now? Three. I'm going to put down two cards myself. Which cards? My telephone and photographer card. Because it's hanging off the end of the table. My flap is hanging off the table.
Starting point is 01:22:27 Yeah, so how are you going to get it on? How are you going to get your cards on your flap? There we go. Well thought out. My cards are now on the flap. You've got two telephones? No, I don't have... That's a photographer.

You fucking idiot. You don't need to. You don't. It's two of one hand. So I'm putting telephone and photographer down there. Have you put two telephone down? You fucking idiot. You don't need to.

Starting point is 01:22:54 You fucked it, so you can't swap it. That was a mistake you made, and I gave you the rules, and you weren't listening, as I knew you fucking weren't. So now you fucked it. No. You fucked it. Let's stop. You have fucked it.
Starting point is 01:23:04 I'm going to walk out. No, you can't, because you fucked it. I can You've fucked it. Let's stop. You have fucked it. I'm going to walk out. No, you can't, because you've fucked it. I can't continue. Anyway. It's going to cause more problems. I'm going to call, no, you've had your go.
Starting point is 01:23:12 Put your cards back down there. I can't make a hand with these. You can take one out and replace it, though, in your next go. You fucked it. You weren't listening, like I knew,
Starting point is 01:23:20 and I get the last laugh and the first. It's because it was deeply boring. Anyway, I've put two down. I'm paying two. Pay the money. Thank you. I'm paying two to the bank, and I get the last laugh and the first. It's because it was deeply boring. Anyway, I've put two down and I'm paying two Pay the money. Thank you. to the bank

Starting point is 01:24:00 What have I got? I've got... Oh, hang on. I've got... Oh, hang on. Right, good. Poker face. That's not a face anyone wants to see.
Starting point is 01:24:08 Is it my go? It is your go. Now you have to make up for your mistake in the last one. So there you go. You're going to have to trade at least one telephone now, aren't you? Because most of the stories that you need need a telephone card. Where's the discard? What do you mean?
Starting point is 01:24:22 There needs to be a discard pile. It's just a pile next to it. Yeah, when you put a card down, you put it next to it. Have you been putting it back on the top? Yeah. I did it by mistake. There's one. Okay, now then.
Starting point is 01:24:32 You fucking useless gobsight. Can I take the discard pile? No, you can't. You were not listening, Mr. Silverman, and I'm going to smack your bottom. Replace one of your cards. You're going to have to, and that's your go. What are these? Yeah. You have to put it back in your go. One of these? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:45 You have to put it back in the discard pile, and then pay to replace it. Yeah, go on, put it in the bank. Fucking shut up, this is like fucking not fun at all. Yeah, because you fucked up because you weren't listening. Right, done my go. Good, it's my go now, and guess what? I have, thanks to this card, I have telephone, photographer and star reporter, which means I'm eligible for a three-star story, ladies and gentlemen.
Starting point is 01:25:09 That's what I'm eligible for. But the number on the card I have to dial. Triple star. 634 is the number I have to dial. So let's get the phone out, little cardboard phone. It's been reset to the far right, like the Daily Mail. Am I right, listeners? Here we go.
Starting point is 01:25:26 What number is it? 634, which is... Are you happy with me moving it to that spot on the cardboard thing? I pull the knob. I slide it to 634. You've gone too far. You're cheating.
Starting point is 01:25:36 I haven't. Stuart says gone too far. What does it say? See, that's why you're having the problem because you went too far. Have some precision, Paul, in your movements, yeah? Have some fucking nuance, yeah?
Starting point is 01:25:47 What does it say? It's not on the thing properly. Yes, because you did it wrong. It says, okay. Okay. Your story has been passed for publication. Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho! So now, I get to pick a triple star story. Now, hmm, hmm. So what are your options? You can get two star stories.
Starting point is 01:26:03 I'm going to get a small one. I'm going to try and do small, small, big star story. You only get one. That's not it. They're there. It says star story on it in green, you twat. Yeah. All right, I'll pick it. Do you want to know what the story's called?
Starting point is 01:26:15 Oh. Rugby player fell asleep during the game. Ken Blizzard, international famous rugby league wing three-quarter, is to believe have been doped in the third round of the Rugby League Cup game. The police think a drug may have been administered while Mr. Blizzard was pushing his way through a crowd of autograph hunters outside his dressing room. He complained of a scratch he received to the wrist.
Starting point is 01:26:34 Blizzard, it will be remembered, collapsed into a deep sleep 20 minutes before the end of the game after completing at halftime after he felt feeling dozy. He was revived after a drink. You really didn't read that very well. It's not fucking story time. That's terrible. What's the point of that? Just a story.
Starting point is 01:26:50 It wasn't a very good one, was it? It's a fictional... Right, shut up. Anyway, now I've got to pay a hundred for a new card, so... Put it in the bank. And I take one from the top. Right?

A revolutionary building machine, a robot bricklayer, has been successfully tested under conditions of stricter secrecy
Starting point is 01:29:13 on a site in the works yard of the Prem and Constructural Machinery Company, Lawston. This is not being read very well. The mechanic... The mechanic... The machine, automatically fed with bricks from a giant brick magazine, built up the complete brickwork of a standard three-bedroom bay-windowed house in two hours. How long's this story? Because I'm not particularly enamoured with this. It operates on a set of rails laid at a predetermined distance from the wall elevation and following the basic contour of the house.
Starting point is 01:29:44 Moving rapidly along the rails, the machine has a chute down which the bricks are rapidly fed into position. Fucking hell. Mortared, trimmed and definitely tapped into perfect line by a device at the end of the chute. The machine automatically resets itself for the staggering of the brickwork after laying a line of bricks and also adjusts its height as the walls grow. A Bricklayers Union official said today, and Justice Hyde as the walls glow and Bricklayer's
Starting point is 01:30:02 union official said today time alone can test the machine if it may be seen by the and the award for Oscar
