A podcast. Okay. Welcome to the podcast, the cheap show. Podcast, the podcast, the starring Paul Gannon.
Why is that so funny? That's weird, sort of shruggy. Way of doing it. Like a shruggy sort of...
Everything I do is shruggy. No, it's not shrugging. Ah, shrugging? Do you want me to do it?
I'll just do it. I can do it. I can do it. I can just do it.
I can just flip it off. What am I asking you to do that? You can flip it off. It's a piffle.
It's a slight to you with it. It's a little insignificant piffle to me. I can flip it off. I'll scripping it off.
I'll scripping it off, okay? By all means, scripping it off. Thanks for trusting me on this. I don't, but I'm kind of locked into this.
No, I can't do it. Okay, so far. 35 seconds has been spent on you saying the words I can do this. Like some kind of, like some paranoid athlete.
No, I can. Okay. Hello, everyone. I'm Eli Silverman.
This is Cheap Show. Also on the show today. Paul Ganon. Hi, Paul.
Hello, Eli Silverman. Welcome to Cheap Show. Fuck me. What a waste of time.

What's wrong with that now? Oh, OK. You're not. You're very not.
Paul, what have we got coming up on the show? Right, OK. Today was on the show today, really. What's on the show?
Today on the show, we will be going back to the Noodle Kitchen but not Eli's country. This is remote. What do I even want to call this? It's like the food truck.
It's still a house. So it's can't be Eli's country over Noodle Kitchen. It has to be Noodles on the road. Yeah, Eli and Paul.
I need to figure out an acronym that's Rude and Features. Ask Noodle. Twanny. T.
Anne. That's got ends in the Noodle. So Twanny is good. Keep pittin.
Keep pittin. Norks. Trunny Hole. The Dirty Bambo.
That's dirty. What? The Dirty Bambo. What is even that meant to mean?
I'm going to need a minute, man. Take us all the time. You win. Because I've given up on doing a new acronym.
Basically, we'll do it. No shit. This is the worst there's ever. Don't know Mambo through me.
He does that. He does do that. No. He's no nothing.
I'm sorry. Today's Noodle will be pulling Eli's tears. Oh my god. Noodles.
That's serious. Welcome back. Welcome back to the podcast. You've been away awhile.
Stop. Stop making me laugh. Stop drinking tea and put the cup down and they're going to bang. Sorry, I need a lot of stuff, mate.
Tea ain't one of them. So yes, we have a lovely patch. Also, Gann has gone games. This one I got on eBay for £4.
It's a reasonably brand new game. I don't care about spoilers. Today we're playing a board game based on the hit TV show. Storage Wars.
Do you like Storage Wars? I do. We'll get into that later. I'll get into that later.
I'll get into that later. Did I thank people last time for my book? Did I? No.
I need to sort of... Why don't you go fucking into the naughty club? Go on the naughty step. Like Supernanny.
There's a step. Go sit on that step over there. I've sent him to the naughty step later, you know what I'm saying? I've got nothing to say.
I've got nothing to say. What? Oh, yeah. So I can't even imagine it last week.
I shouldn't know. But if I haven't, here we go again. Thanks to everyone. All 500 and so of you who helped successfully crowd fund my book called Ain't Afraid.
Go through one bound. And better start writing that then. But thank you everyone. I hope to make the book as fun and as interesting as possible.
And also if you haven't donated yet or pledged yet, there is still time. There's no real deadline to these things. So if you want it, you've reached the target. That's the point.
Yeah, but anyone can still donate if they want. And that gives them access to... I'm going to do an audio book and I'll go do a comment. Oh, all the Ghostbusters films.
And I think at the top tier is like I'm going to do a show. One last performance of my solo show. Just once. Yeah.
So I know it's locked down. Yeah. You can do an opening act. We'll do that.
Let's do that. Cool. I was saying that as a joke. Yeah.
That's what I was thinking. Yeah. Smear it. I could do just, I just did my old routine.
Twenty years ago, they brought in the smoking ban. No, that was terrible. You learn a lesson, don't you? You're like a good Jug and it's topical.
Sometimes the clock runs out on that gag. Yeah. And it ran out about five years after I stopped performing it. Yeah.
I'm going to say that. No, before I thought. I'm going to say five years before. Yeah.
Not after I stopped. No. God. I'm getting it all wrong today.
You're getting it all wrong. So thank you, everyone, who supported me and my book. Oh, congratulations. I've been saying that last week.
I don't have a right to, but it'd be nice to see it before I like it. I'd like you to have that to see it. But people get fired. Remember people get like properly.
I'm suggesting they do it only a while. I'm just tired of the set of Star Wars, don't they? It's sad. Just saying.
I'm going to show you what he is. Do you realize how expensive that is? What? What?
Someone got to get hold of spoilers for the Ghostbusters. Yeah, but obviously I'm going to find an MDA. If I saw it officially for all the proper job. Then you might tell me, I'm not going to tell me.
What happens? What happens? Well, he comes back and he's a fucking e-gonist slimmer. And then he got eats some mushrooms.
Like mushrooms. He goes out in the wheat field. There's a wheat field in it. Yeah.
Perhaps it's like children of the corn meets Ghostbusters. That'd be more interesting than what I think we're getting. So yeah, maybe. Because it looks like what we're getting is Ghostbusters, redo.
Yeah, but it's going to be of those sort of quite shocking horror moments when the original. Apparently there are proper moments of horror within this film. We think we think of films getting more and more sort of permissive of gore and sex and stuff. But those kids films in the 80s were sort of more horrific than they are.
Yeah. Because the thing is that we basically tell kids to find and see an actual film with guns and explosions and long-jones and blood. Right? A lot of horror.
It's horrible. It's gore. But it's an element. You know, horrific images.
And I think some of these kids are a fantasy war, but they're not OK seeing, obviously, fantasized supernatural violence. But even like, goonies. And like, you just don't think they'd make films like that these days. They wouldn't, but it wasn't that good.
That was like a good number first. I mean, I like that bit on the ship at the end. Here's an idea. I don't want to talk about goonies.
Let's just move on. So that is our show today. We are going to play storage wars, and we are going to make some lovely noodles for you. Oh yeah.
Why don't you give us a little idea now what we can expect in the noodle special world? It's something that we've been teasing for a long time in the country of the noodle test lab kitchen for. It is the famed egg block noodle. Now, it's sesame and egg block.
It has egg block in it. Wow. A block of egg. Like an omelet.
You could call it omelet block, but you'd be wrong. You'd be slightly vagar. The law I come from the omelet block. We don't see many of the other two.
It's called the omelet block. Come on. I mean, that's about your best for the last five minutes. About five years.
The omelet block. I come from the omelet block. He did that omelet block joke. Yeah.
Remember the omelet joke and there'll be all these retrospectives. The omelet block. He's the omelet joke guy. And then how did he die?
Well, he was known as nothing but the omelet block. Hey, you know what I think you should do with this? Oh, this is an omelet material. Well, fold it over.
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Oh dear. Oh dear. Yes, we have the egg block and sesame. It's a Korean noodle.
Omelet block. Yes, the egg block. And we also have, because we haven't covered South American noodles before, have we? I don't know.
The unusual flavour. Is it? Are we going to the segment now? We can go into it in a minute, but we can just give the warm up.
It's very unusual flavour. We can't like, we're greating it up. We're fine. Slap it out.
Slap it out. I'm not going to do it. I'd back away from any sector. If bird's eye in the meat, I know.
Can't just say that. I can't just say that. What would be? Put your penis up with peas and then frozen.
Like that. Dinner's ready. Yes. Who wants peas now?
Right there. Dad, he's done this after he's stopped shitting in the glitter tray. What about gravy? No, shut up.
The gravy's in the little tray. Oh. Is it shit? Yes.
Are we eating shit and rolling around in gravel? Lick it all the spot. Are we? Are we licking spot off of all cat litter?
Yeah. I'll gravely tray. I'm in the gravely tray. Mate, we've been ten minutes because not now.
Please. Oh, thanks, gentlemen. I'm running off and down. The secret tunnels.
You can hear me feet. I'm really in a tunnel. Oh, what's that voice for? I've been invited to a secret location for this.
Oh, there's noodle content. I'll just go to this secret door that I can find. Noodle content? I think he's just behind this door.
Let me open. What's this say on this door? Secret noodle content. It's at the secret noodle content.
Room. Hello, Mr. Silverman. Oh, this is interesting.
This is you exciting. Noodle, test lab. It's not a test lab. It's a kitchen.
It is a test. We do that again. No, because I'm doing the acting one. I'm in again.
Just do it from the door. Because that was what I got before. I'm opening the door. Oh, I'm coming in.
Here we go. Close the door. Oh, hello, Mr. Silverman.
Hello, Paul. It's great being in your new secret location. It's a temporary lab. Little mini lab here.
We've got four noodles, Paul. Yes, it's good. Okay. Now, we've got two noodles for the show today, Paul.
One noodle we've all been waiting for. First noodle. We're going to cover is the egg block. We've got the egg block of your.
The first noodle we're going to cover today, Paul. We're going to cook them concurrently. We're both going to have a little taste of the noodles. There's no fish in any of these.
I'll double check that. Okay. It's probably prepared where fish have been or something. You know?
Margot. Like Margot. I said that off-car. Now, this is the Otakey Sesame flavour ramen.
But most importantly, in this little bubble here, it says, contains egg block. It's a little speech block of bubble. Or is it a little pointy? Because it's pointed to the egg block bit of the noodle.
Now, how about that picture? Because if it is a speech bubble, then what's it saying? The egg block is saying, contains egg block. Yeah.
Weird. It's a self-proclaimed egg block. Now, I don't like having a speech bubble. It just could have been a blob that says contains egg block.
We would have known that that doesn't necessarily have an inner toe voice. The graphic convention is slightly different. Perhaps to us, that looks like a comic book thing. But to them, it looks like something pointing out the egg block.
Right. The company. Who is it? Otakey.
They do a lot of noodles. Yeah. Are we happy to have them before the show? This is Korean style, which makes me think.
Because of toky, they do Chinese ones. So perhaps they cover more than one of their markets there. I think they might be Chinese. Let me see where they're manufactured.
Korea. Now, they are Korean. This is sesame, contains egg block. A simple noodle, soup base, you can tell.
What do you think of the little egg block there? I mean, it's obviously it's USP. I'm excited to see how it adds or maybe takes away from the flavour. And how many sachets?
Of course, there's one with the egg block, but there might be one for the soup base. But is there an oil sachete as well? Usually I'll tell you a little spoiler in this Korean one. So don't go for oil sachets.
It's not their style. And it's quite a meaty one. It's going to need 500 milliliters of water and it goes for four minutes. So we want to put that one on first.
The other one. We like called it Tastenoodle from all around the world. Yeah. So, what do noodles do?
In different parts of the world, they'll take on the cloves of the cuisine of that area of the world, like you get gherkin flavoured ones because they're from the gherkin rich culture of... Just so everyone does know, I'm staring off into the middle distance. I just let you like do this segment. It's from the gherkin rich culture of that part of Europe, Germany, Poland.
They've all got strong gherkin gains going on culturally. And that's why they have noodles, which have that flavour. Yeah. And it's why, you know, they have all the breakfast flavour noodle here.
Do you? Whatever. No, we just make ship versions of proper flavours from all the countries. Yeah.
We don't have much of an identity. No, it's less exciting. People would argue with me there, but what have we got? Must be cooked breakfast, fish and chips.
What do you mean potatoes? Potatoes in general. Potatoes in general are a thing. This is a Brazilian, our second noodle today.
It's a Brazilian noodle, Paul. But I've never seen before, but Renata. Express is this sort of... Is that a brand?
Is that a brand? Is that a brand? A brand? Not a brand?
Not a brand? Not a brand? Not a brand? Not a brand?
Not a brand? Not a brand? Not a brand, but I've never seen this. It's a brand like spaghetti.
I'm still drinks. It's just subtle. It's a small thing. Bacon just as beans a bacon.
Yeah, there you go That all that's a beans and bacon flavor noodle quite unusual piece. It's quite unusual piece three minutes and needs only 450 milliliters All right, so are we then skip to preparing and we'll come back once everything's on the boil right? The water is now boiling boys and girls ladies and gentlemen Mr. Boys and girls and Mrs.
Ladies and gentlemen the water is now boiling We've got two pans on the go which one goes in first the one that takes the longest time Which is the a toky sesame rum and excited to see the egg lops we predicted it does have a three sachets egg box sache That's obvious the soup place and a little sesame oil sache The camera in a bit more detail nice. I like that egg block I'm trying not to break that up because I wanted to say as a block or will it will hydrate and become gelatinous like I Can reverse shrinky thing. Yeah, I think it's gonna increase in girth when I get some water on it. I often Increase the girl once they've got some fanny water Fanny water on my egg Four minutes We're good now it says you should mix it all in it's again.
I never believe that I always put the mixtures in the bowl Oh, you know, I think it's just as good. It's got a cook of noodles. What you doing? Maybe but the egg well actually with a big block it might be crucial Then you tell you when to put it in add seasonings.
That's a little oil. Oh, no, you see the egg blocking now All's action on the egg block. It's action on the egg block. I look forward to see the egg block I like it Oh, it's the camera.
It's a little ome look in the egg blocking transit unfortunately, but it's such his life It's got little onion bits in it and stuff. It's not just a simple egg block. It's got spring onion Oh, there's a whole lot of things going on. Let's go in there straight in Real interesting addition to the noodle kitchen.
I've never seen anything like it in a noodle in my life pool You think it gets bigger? I think it won't expand slightly now. We're losing time to get the Renata on Right now we'll be ready so put it straight in Yeah, this is the bacon bean noodle now we're adding into a second part. It's a very simple in comparison.
It's one One sashay, this is the instant noodle and it's like a big sashay So it's like a bachelor's almost a big bag of flavor and not much else but it is interesting. It's gonna be beanie I wonder how beanie it will be and that is at the end I told you look it says the premium instant noodle so they really are going for like a step above Now if you want to say Just give this a little prod. Oh, it's almost oh it's not the egg block Oh, it's onion in it. Yeah, it says I put this in as well So put the put the season in it soup based in I think this is gonna kind of stand the bean one isn't soup based though Is it that's draining it at the flavor mix if I've soup based?
Oh, okay cool. I have bowls ready. Don't you worry? No stir-fried ones good to know it's gonna make sure all on the soup table Let's get this put it in.
Oh, it's very exciting. I'm gonna stare it. Let me stare it. It's there in it Oh, it's going all bubbly.
Go on all bubbly. I make sure the flavors No, good good coldness still mint never crossed the spoons No After which drizzle it on after it's important and that's for the egg block. I think they're expanding. I think they're rigid by Sponger cating so that's a little clock hang on we've got a minute left for both of these to be allegedly ready But you might want to leave that a little bit long about lots of things.
I Think that'd be fine. All right, my watch will vibrate when the time is up So I'm instantly when things are gonna kick off so I'm very excited. I'm very excited for the egg block Although the smell at the moment is particularly interesting. It's kind of the same resource.
Yeah, it's a bit too much coming off at once The sesame is a very strong flavor. So that's gonna complete it hopefully. Yeah and cut through, you know and give it a top note The way the bacon powder I'm gonna open last minute after it's cooked and just you know zap it on fish it's a flashy Flash flip-flap-flosh flip-flap-flosh I'm already gonna have a taste of these noodles today on the show can't wait. I mean certainly I can't wait because I mean it's fine I get two forks out three It's coming in a minute second now Three seconds here we go three two one.
Oh, my foes go to be wrists vibrating. Oh, it's going all off the shop moving the box off I'm soft pops off. I know these are electric so they're off the heart. Yes.
No, that's the problem be very careful I like to have not instantly cool to touch now. I've often done that. Yeah, yeah I'm scared off a pop. Oh no, that's fine No one saw your back was to the camera.
No one saw you drop this the packet into the actual broth Well, there's your spoon behind you to mix it get a mix on Spare that broth I'm making a big stay the broth you get much of a hot for the moment off that there's a lot of flavors going on right now So a lot going on oh yeah smell the bacon won't oh Like crisps Do you know I trade bits of bean in that is that oh no I should have cooked look oh no they're meaty bits That's a bacon bit their actual bacon dehydrated bacon bits. That's a surprise goes with bacon and eggs it It's a bacon and egg noodle show for me enough you say about how British is quite played and then we just call the Baker the next combo. Oh, well, there you go. Such is life in it That's up.
That's up the egg block. Yeah Let me take a picture of these absolutely beautiful noodle examples Take a picture here. We go. This is or as we happen as it happens or steaming look at that steam What great site that is for the noodle kitchen.
It's a testament to noodle joy The force here you go. I can't wait so we're gonna start with first I think we should start with the beans and it's got less expectations. Yeah, so so here we go Let's just have some noodle. So what do you think of the actual noodles personally poor looks all right to me?
It looks like me also and I know we said what does it look like it's on? What's the fucking point of asking me that then five years in what is it look like? It's a fucking noodle. I can't get any of this on the fucking foot here.
We go back on I'm getting bacon Not a lot of bean you taste bean I can't really take the bacon all that much It's how they only have to take but not really up front now. I'm gonna try and get a bit of one of these do my trade bacon pieces I have to get one no flavor all Is it have the texture of bacon a bit? No, it's more like those things. It's a meaty guy pizza I probably is soy pretending to be bacon.
Yeah, I'm gonna get a bit of this broth ball Have some broth there's a spoon as well. No, if you want to spoon it. Yeah, you want to let me just be it anyway No, but you can't see smooth it now. Did you add the soy the sesame?
No, that's the only one. This was just one pack for being No, it's just one sort of I'll say this even though it's a one of a bachelor's or something is it's gonna say it's a bit like a bachelor's It's a little bit better than that. It's less gelatinous. Yes, it's less Groupy, it's less groupy definitely because it's got that sort of it is tending that way There's a bit of that but not like when you pour out a bachelor's super noodle.
It just slops out like a fucking elephant's prolapse director Yeah, but in terms of I mean, I can't taste any bean. No, but then what is the bean flavor? It's looking for a refried bean is it a little bit of a beanie sort of like the juice you get round beans So do I start making a habit of saying this is shit and then after two seconds? All right, because I'm going for a journey with this noodle man.
I'm sorry The journey is like real time. It's just a journey sometimes feel like I know what to think of this noodle I'm sorry this noodle has me stamped man. I think it's a perfectly fine middle of the road I would probably give it to out five to half out five. Yeah, I'd go for that to maybe it's not I can't see myself trying to search out about the bean flavors if it was something to know me And it doesn't seem like it would blend very well with pimping.
No, you'd have to have a specific sort of range of things That would be a universal pimpage with it. It would take to universal pimping No, but the thing is sometimes you pimp something right and then it works because it doesn't ruin the flavor of the original noodle With that you'd have to add so much to make it into that would be no point using that or we must use a bland one Yeah, let us move on one. We've all been waiting for yes, I can't wait Yes, I need to finish the finish it off by drizzling this so you're gonna finish me finish off on me by drizzling It's got an easy cut nice easy open on this. I'm trying to do so you get it finish me off and then dribble on me Yes, and then I'll fucking shit in your mouth.
That's dirty. Don't say that. I'm drizzling on the sesame now Right, well look it go in there screaming noodle this you can see the oil packets, but which is a noodle that oil packet I'm sorry. It's an oil packet.
Yes. It's an oil pack attack. Thank you and Copy what kind of that you're talking to now Right, so let's get into this then exciting stuff here. We go.
It's a fat and noodle You've the mention of the noodle is fatter, isn't it? Yeah, it's much more girthy noodle stodgy girthy Hmm all that's satisfying Spicy kick to it mmm. That's the sesame can taste the sesame on top. Yeah.
Oh texture on the noodles as much there as well That's really nice actually. It's not like super remarkable, but it's just really comforting. Yeah, it's a good needle Yeah, a little bit of spice a little bit of kick which is always welcome. Oh, that's good.
Oh, that's good. That's a very good How much was that? No, I think it's over a quid slightly like 120 or something like that So more expensive than usual how about the uranata well, it was 79 people I think it's only that's inflated by the fact that it was important Brazil but that type of noodle free for a quit You know means a one-packer. Yeah, whatever when bachelors is on like a you know sales, you know Here's the question though.
I found the egg block. No, I'm looking for egg block desperately The egg blockers have been a no show in this noodle the egg block has been a bit on the well He's found it here we go. Here's a piece of egg block. I suggest you try and find your own sir There's the egg block.
Okay, it's a block camera. Right. I thought it was gone a bit bigger. No, that's not all of it It's fragmented.
This is no, but I thought it's gonna swell up to be a big thing. I can't tell if it's in pieces Can't you can't tell I'm eating it now? Yeah, I know mmm. Yeah, but what's in?
It's all got like spring onion in it. Here keep twisting it keep turning it I can't find no egg block. You can see me looking the egg block and I can't I'll do it. I'll get you there.
No, it's a bit. No, it's too tiny for my needs. There is no lot. You're breaking up any remaining There's a bit in there.
I'm going in I can't place the things that's mostly new like well, you'd have to have my work with them. Nice the thing is the whole thing is very nice. I'm enjoying this noodle immensely Oh, the broth is lovely that proper real sesame oil on top. Oh, I love it.
I do love I have to come clean I do love a sesame flavor noodle anyway, but the other way you always have any sesame flavor noodle You always get the oil pack because you couldn't put the you can't put the flavor of sesame in the soup You know that'd be you'd be lost or or overwhelming see what they could have done with the banana bacon and beans They had an oil pack that would give it that bacon the oiliness thing. Yeah, yeah, I mean clever idea. We've been better We've been a clever idea. It's just not a very it's a book with a so what you're gonna make that out of five I'm gonna go before that four point three for me now four point three No, that's true.
We barely do it. We're point three five seven recurring Well lovely lovely noodle section at once now unfortunately I go back to a cheap show HQ Oh, yeah, you got two lovely noodles to keep you company. I might actually eat the rest of that I'll finish that one off. It's not way to bed.
Yeah, yeah, well, it's not one not that is the cheap show motto That is basically what we've been doing for five years. Oh, no, it's me. No, we go. I'm off now I'm gonna see if I can leave this place.
I'm just gonna get how do I get how do I get out? Here's the door In the pod board all right Lost I didn't have a nap No, it's you He's lurking Get as go yes, we're back in the Gannon's Golden Games grotto where we play You know what? Just punch you right the fucking gob. Oh No, just about that particular one You with my Nothing of clubbing look at my numbers numbers I've started so often Come on it's time for guns go to the game.
Yes. We are the game. We play I'm anticipating yes, I win I'm officially officially officially officially officially see officially no Ship with me Right today. We are playing on Gannon's Golden Games a board game based on the as it says in the front box hit TV A and E show storage wars was a big thing for me in my life I used to watch a lot of storage was we weren't mean you though We're a whole period where we just watch nothing what man versus food dives diners and drive in the final highness Yeah, drive a giant is an high messes I'm in drive a giant is an highman's and get out of a poly Yes, dino's drive in some dino's and I'm at the door to watch we don't end up at the end of my after a gig watching that shit I know nice and this those days we have to do a podcast every week Yeah, I was a big deal, but I've heard things about the way that the show works that really that goes beyond the way You know, you know, it's a reality TV show So obviously it's sort of manufactured to a certain degree.
Yeah, apparently that it's like purely scripted well So I think I thought it was a research on the show So yes, it originated on the a-network it was in 2010 when the first episode was released and the final episode of this run Because I have been spin-offs now was a January 2019 so what there is like story towards New York and story to us So it's all the same fucking shit. Yeah, so it's what the games about when rent is not paid on a story block for three months in California The contents can be originally were in California. Yeah, the contents can be sold by an auctioneer as a single lot of items in the form of a cash Only auction why do you think it's cash only because they all standing around outside the so someone goes all right? You would check it might bounce and they pay for all I want to do that fair enough.
I guess swipe car Yeah, contactless. This is pretty dry. But contactless technology was a lot slower on the uptake in the States Yeah, well, I went to America a lot two years ago to do the fun. Go sauce was first very few people have contact Not to the extent it's taken over no In to you know what in an LA but it just wasn't everywhere now.
That's what that's a reason and also this when did it start 2005 10 back there? They never fucking listen to it. I do you got earphones in today. So you're literally getting my voice piked into your brain.
No, it's good So My slurpee-durpee-dipstick go with your cerebellum Proden that you're probably my tri-john and mick. No, it's probably a frontal lobe. It's my tri-johnomy. What are you saying?
What we do? This is becoming laughter the summer podcast When you start getting real dementia, I'm not completely not sure we haven't eaten here, right? So what's I saying? We've got to focus.
Let me talk about it. So yeah cash only. That's what we're talking about. God that really bio-white I started us so the show follows professional buyers who visit storage facilities throughout States and bid on these lockers before each locker is auctioned The buyers are given five minutes to inspect the contents of the doorway, but may not enter the lock it or touch any of the items But why is that is that the by part of the by-law?
It's weird. I guess if all these things were you maybe could nick something Maybe something they sort of made up maybe but I can also imagine it's kind of like yours to touch So yeah, you could affect the price of it by doing something so you might grab something Yeah, I like it After the days or to complete the wing bitters sort through the lockers estimate the prices that they all sell the contents for and then on the TV She says when he talks on screen cost versus estimated estimated value and a final tally at the end of the episode summarizes the profit net or loss So fair enough is the show I found it very addictive and it had lots of colorful characters Yeah, some of which will or the confrontation was obviously well Yeah, I mean it's got a list of them here But like it gives a fuck who Jared Shulks and Brandy Passen, I remember Ivy Calvin and Yeah, yeah, what is it with like Americans and names were like Daryl sheets? What's wrong with that? It's not names it is Emily wears Emily wears Daryl sheets Does it Halloween Renee Nez Hodder and Casey Lloyd, I mean, that's all they're fine.
She's an honor. No She's not a dada She's not going to know the dada you can't quote because all your characters are basically exact same present Not there's the cool things like milk grippers or she here as our turn apart or she know the dada Oh, I never go to so low. Oh and Jo Van Graham So they're like what's the guy's they all had like Like they were like they were like Dick Tracy villains were like this one's the bruiser Yeah, no shit. He's like I kind of liked the reason I liked it is because it was more you know They're not it doesn't have to be great people and even if they weren't it wasn't just like baddies and goodies They were all a bit so great on yeah It was kind of the ever shifting tech like plates of the relationships go saying these are great people and I kind of like that It's a bit low-lifey, you know to me.
Well, yeah, it's got that element to it Where it's like everyone's fascinated with what's in your fucking attic. Is that sense of what's in there? No see? No see on there's no see anyway, so finding someone's locker room by forget the money side of it Just like what the fox in here is it yeah, yeah, some of them are sort of they've got those roles They're sort of therefore the right the collector guy.
He's interested in interesting stuff And then you've got the guy's got the shop is just like yeah Yeah, yeah, so he's just thinking about bulk shit to sell install. Yeah, so That is definitely amplified the differences in they will just try to make the fucking money Aren't they? I think some of these characters they're talking about here are gonna turn up on these cards in a minute But it just had a chapter on this Wikipedia page about the controversies some critics have speculated that some of the units have been Stocked by the producers. Yeah, definitely put in any publicist.
So therefore completely honest and up for us Yeah, said there is no staging involved the items and coming in the storage units are the actual items featured in the show I think at the very least the producers. I look around first. Yeah, because I remember one episode Yeah, what do you do? Well, they thought they found like a murder cage because they went in and there's like weird they were doing It was like a martial arts school wasn't it?
No, but didn't they go in thinking it was some kind of murder dungeon? We're like they found BTK's fucking grotto or something It was just a martial arts sort of school that was being run illegally from this sort of really I just like I never seen I like this sort of idea that's made open one maybe someone like sat down taking his breakfast Yeah, little toilet and it's all like a little set in there or boxes of dead animals They found a lot of chachidomi on the side. I'll take the last yeah job lot. I'll give you a job lot I'll give you a fucking give your job I'm I notice I'll glaze it right out my meters anyway exactly produce a Tom B as a state at the vast majority of the story lock is Investigated during the production take nothing of interest and therefore do not appear in the final show which is fair enough However, yeah, be as admitted that half of the lines are scripted as well as moving items between stories lockers purchase by the same person What does that mean?
Well, if you get to and ones are just really boring ones good You made one of the good items in that sort of spread the goodness the excitement but wouldn't that ruin no Because maybe you've got one really good one that's got something unrelated to the other stuff in there and that would look better in that One to say the same is they move around when they've been purchased by the same person You'd have to because they all belongs to bucket to lockers. So yeah, the open one. There's nothing in it by one interesting thing Yeah, he wins a later auction. I'll just let's move this stuff in with that stuff It looks like it all vice versa or anything, you know to give more more punch to each segment In December 2012 Dave Hester I think is one of the earth because they always cut after the guys bought the thing then during that cut They can go in you see I get it now and do it twice do the discovery Yes, I've got no wants when I do it twice No, I want this to the other one.
No, they don't before they start shooting. Yeah, they just do it once at the end Right after they've taken otherwise it's a bunch of like boring ugly people fading surprise for half an hour which kind of is yeah Right, so 2012 Dave Hester filed a lawsuit against A&E claim that Dave's no which one's Dave is that's the guy at the end Dave in the Vets area he claimed that the producers were staging entire units planted items in lockers after having them appraised weeks in advance and funneling cash to Wega teams to buy lockers that they could not afford otherwise the suit claim that Hester and other cast members network officials Express concerns that those actions were in violation of federal law intended to prevent viewers from being deceived when watching a show involving intellectual skills right but they're saying all that not their skills are any good if it's all fake and they look out Or they dial it into what they like in the first place which kind of skewers the result of auction in 2013 They denied the accusations A&E and said that the show was called by the first amendment and Hester's claims to not apply So does that mean they're basically saying Blah blah blah blah A&E won a part of victory in the suit when a federal judge tossed out Hester's came upon their business practices calling the show Expressive free speech and you know what that means to me though The lawyers have contorted and pretzel the ways they always do they always use those to take your point and then make it About a different point where they can win that point therefore win the case yeah, but it's one of those umbrella things free speech Yeah, any any kind of media. Oh, he was fired as well before he did the lawsuit. So there you go Dave you see the one in the middle actually he's one of your You know, it's a car table fine at a minute But yeah, I think he was fired then filed the lawsuit saying it's not fair Yeah, it's like that he might have had a point 2013 has to one of his claims approved by the LA superior court the court rule that has to Come before you any wrongful termination from the show but in 2014 has to donate any kingful settlements I never spoke about again.
I really did come back to the show in 2014. Yeah, yeah, yeah Welcome back. Yeah, so they turned into a board game and it's not some poor boy game as a game There's no board really storage lockers. So here's how the game works ladies and gentlemen boys and girls Eli $3,000 each I have in my hand $3,000 back you have counted out We got three five hundred ten one hundred and ten fifty dollar bills not real money There are four cardboard lockers for storage containers cardboard.
They are empty one to four empty at the moment There's a bag and here's how the game works. We're gonna pick out four discs each and each disc has an item on it For instance, I'm gonna pull out randomly and this is oh for another record collection for 700 pounds It's worth rollers. Are we saying dollars dollars? Let's say dollars keep it.
Just keep it like this So we unbridged the original is I couldn't I think the American host came over. They went to Britain did a version of it I'm pretty sure they did that. Yeah, it's probably really fucking depressing to watch You know what I mean? I it's really awful when you see American formats not working in the UK because unfortunately cultural It's weird.
So you and I go pick four discs each and then I'm gonna turn my back and you're gonna put your four discs in any of these Containers, okay, okay, you can put them all in one you can put them one in each I put two in one and one and one in one and one in one and one in the other you can put three in that one one in that one In this one and two in this one one in that one in that one in that one in that one in that one in that one in that one in that one That one you only got three I've got four I've got four discs Each or two in one and one and one and one and one or you can put three in one and two in there or one in there and two in there I'm gonna put in there You can put all them in one or you can put none of them in one and you can put some of them too I've got some put some of them, so if that makes sense the bottom line is you get pick out for this randomly Give it away wait wait when my back is turned you hide in the lockers now when you don't I do the same before I pick We're just lifting up. We don't open the top of the look. You know what? There's a little slot you slot it in look It's just an example look at this little slot and you can go I think I'll slot it right in slot it right in right wait calm down.
I want to play I know but I want to get the rule that the way first some extent once all the disc are in the lockers And you and I don't know what exactly is in each one. I know what we put it Yeah, then we'll take turns in bidding for lock a one lock a three lock a four with our money And we have a car who ever doesn't want to take it obviously that can be informed by what you think is in one or two based on What you put in a walk up so simple after we do them or whoever wins it collects all the items as the scores up And then some discs have things like damaged or moldy and that will take points off your final score So if I draw one of those and I know that I don't want that one Yeah, exactly but you might drive the bid up to trick me to get There is a bit of logic here. We're trying to get a black mold mate Well, if you do find the black mold which is a very rare disc then that means anything you've got that locker is ruined Then you can't touch it and everything is scored off and it's bad So you don't always get a black molder. No one will just be moldy or damaged or wet But there's one more ultimate bad boy.
Yeah, and you don't do you want me to pull that out and add it into the game for a bit Danger no, no, because I know where it is. Oh, you'll know where it is. No if we draw it We draw it now come out draw some I know I think we have to pick a character card because those characters will mean that Let's just say you find a record player and this guy's a correct or collect that you get double points Okay, so it's in your yeah, so who the characters we've got today Daryl sheets He's known as the gambler and that's the grand guy. He's the guy you see them.
No, it was Dave Hester next one I've got yeah, Dave is the mogul. He's a guy. Yeah, is he like loud? Literally collectibles.
He just he's just any old shit. He just had a story. Just yeah, it's like a chest of draws I can tell that the gambler likes collectibles and antiques fine Barry vice the collector rights collectibles and historical Oh, nice. So maybe an old family lovely like an old rifle.
Yeah, he likes yeah Oh, jay's got he looks like an American Richard brand off. He does. He's got a permatannas Yeah, brandy percenty. He's not names I don't know where you're making this up or where they're real.
No, she's real brandy percenty She's the voice of reason apparently no, he's a fish. She's always nagging her husband Gerald Schultz. Oh, right? They're going out.
I believe they're going out. I believe I believe in Joe were before the show probably anymore Yeah, she's always saying we can't for that. Oh, yeah, I remember that Yeah, you know, he's once they've been waving driving his car into a brick wall. I'm happy ever that guy Jared He's very closed off look at him.
Oh, yeah, the young gun every single one of these concerts They're on cross. They're Aggie. You know it. They're Aggie.
Aren't they that's what I kind of like about the whole whole It's almost like a grifting like a low level. Yeah, I wish we could do it on cheap sharpie good. Wouldn't it do a storage wall? We're never gonna do bargain.
Aren't we? I apply what I didn't know. They would never take one listen to G. Joe.
No, no, fuck them Then you got Gerald Schultz the young gun and then Brandon sheets the upstart. He's brother a little shit He's the brother or cousin of the barrel. So we can't do one. Yeah, you pick one because they're gonna actually sort the end depending on what you found Mmm.
This is all I know I'm gonna go for a I'm going for Barry vice. I'm gonna go for the woman I'm gonna go for brandy percent It's the name of something you're order a club I'll have to brandy percent around around around on 80s Red reflex.
