Ep 463: Mess Express

from CheapShow · host CheapShow Pod

Although Paul & Eli have sworn off getting anything from Temu, Ali Express or Wish, that doesn’t stop our listeners! Whether that’s for good or for ill. This week, CheapShow HQ has been sent something via the PO Box (details below) and its jam packed with Ali Express (and charity shop) treats and, in some cases, horrors. Not only do the Cheap Chaps have a few awesome presents to be grateful for (thank you Obie!), but there is an Ali Express themed “Price of Shite” to tackle. When the items can be truly random and the prices could be anything, just how many p’twings can Paul and Eli hope to get? Eli has his ideas, Paul has his own… but who will win, not only the game, but the “special prizes” on offer to the winner? It’s another tat filled audio adventure.

We got one bag this week I put it back to the bag to convene into myself all right I'm still a blackwood once they it's got a lot of shit in it.

She never saw No, but there's a lot to get through so that's what we're doing this week on the podcast I'll tell you what before we take a break. Yeah. Hello cheap joke podcast cheap things good times That's how fun is that your intro for sure yeah for real for the real Z's real Z's I'm a bon viva You don't drink enough red wine, but I see a sort of typical bon viva there's someone who puts civic mask in his hair We're the smoke in jacket back. Yeah, I think it's a cigarette with one of those old old What was the point of that?

What was the point of those big cigarette elders? Was it just keep the nicotine off your lips? It's cools the smoke okay, and it's more elegant I thought it's not getting your fingertips also less like the burn your fingers and stuff or get the stinky stinky stinky yellow patches smoke Yeah, well, they're not the end and your hot box in the end of a thing Oh, how harsh that is you want to get in a nice and nice empty big byro and people he piece used to have clips What they call roach clips. Yeah, which were little devices to hold the very end of a marijuana cigarette You don't see them anymore Do you know one bothers because you can just use like a pair of these clip tweezers?

Yeah, I mean, but no one even does that though. No, it's a weird different It's weird how all substances have different cultures around their use and obviously cannabis has one of the most varied and sort of worldwide range I'm actually bored now. I know You're bored Don't find me boring. No, it's like you are a boring person I was that bit boring.

Well, it was a little bit dry. Yeah, all right Let's witness it was all about it's all a bit nanny sandy for me that really dry musty with a huff of dusky With a half of asking no dryer musty with a with the husky Right, let's get right into it because big box there were two envelopes there I put on the mulchy fibbage or wonderful knitted a representation of that character by Nikki Which is my favorite thing ever so she was at the live show yes indeed? They did us knitted cheap show hats, which are great super cozy. I want the other day How's out goes work?

Yeah, we wear them on we should wear them on some kind of well You can see Halloween lives you want YouTube watch that back anyway more cheese looking after the answers for the price of Shite Yes, there is a nice one before we get to that we've got loads of goodies to get through first. Okay. Hello cheap show boys My name is obi hello obi I Hope you enjoy this box so for the terrible handwriting never apologize as long as it's legible, but what is it skirting the line? I Yes, thank you so much for the many years of joy and laughs you've always been a It's a little bit small it's always been a source of happiness in the many ups and downs of life over the last decade That's nice of you to say thank you very much.

Maybe you continue for many more or until it all falls to pieces well We're getting there right so we have a price of shite and what's interesting is I've said on the podcast before that after consideration We would never do anything from wish or aliexpress or whatever whatever because it's kind of like waste, you know It's kind yes, there's kind icky ethically speaking I mean there's nothing we could do about because once more podcast not buying things off wish but we don't want to promote no All the channels do it. I'm not judging them I just think for us even though these things are too cheap. They're also I don't know there's an abuse kind of moral quality thing going on I totally agree everything in this bag though from obi has been bought from aliexpress now They got to be beforehand say oh I heard you're not doing this do you mind? I was like no no if you want to send stuff to us and that's what you've done We're gonna turn it away that's ridiculous.

I'll be wasting it. I'm wasting it Yeah, so there is a load of stuff in here that we're gonna get into we're gonna start with the goodies the things are on price of Shite items Looking forward this because every time a box comes in I open up to see what's in there. I go. Oh, I can't wait to show you like this Oh podcast, okay, well, where do we start?

Okay? Well, there's loads of stuff You like in the open what you want to do now to what you're gonna say? Go get off your little fairy chest. I can say on the price of shite.

Yeah, I've been dominant obviously for last year Smash me I Know To really turn that's what I'm saying. I only brought it up as a little fucking thing But not enough feathers to preen your wares Yeah Wings here's the first thing to tell the lovely audience about and to thank oh before I can see now that it is a cup noodle by Nish and bag In a tote material Heavy cotton and it is water proof lines lined with a sort of semi waterproof thing at the top I'm not the mike. I get to get to get a Scurical it's got a tassel to eat it like a laundry. It's a laundry.

It's a little bit more. It could be shopping I need this well, you can have a string. I just said that you ignorant toss pot when I had a particular talking to the mike as well You ignorant buffoon buffoon with her you're a buffoon with her I know I must have a particular design Jimmy could use it for shopping you can use the laundry It's a big bag you can use your imagination about things in a bag It has a sphinxer at the top with a drawstring so you can seal it which is all yeah You can close the top with a sphinxer and the bag is vaguely cooked noodle shape as well With a sphinxer coming over the top you can carry on saying it but I still won't find it funny an iris bum iris iris Aris iris iris Aris when I tell you my view on your bum hole problems Okay, let's call her hello. My name is Rebecca I'm Rebecca for about the last five years my bottom has this kind of pulsing movement.

I just think it pulsing like like a I can't expect like a baby asking for bottle. It just come It's doing it now listen Yes, yes, I'm placing my bum hole across the receiver of the phone. You don't need to It's a good breathing action. I can hear that from her asshole.

Oh, I'm sorry sorry anyway I'll tell you I've been in this game. It's also much to get though. I don't have time for this But go on well you've done your bit so it's time for me What can I possibly do for my personal bum you sounds to me Rebecca you have a breathing asshole of the highest standards I don't know what you do for a living and I hope you don't think I'm being presumptuous But you with a talent like that a breathing ring of that quality and prestige could go a long way in my neck of the woods What do you think of the bag I like it you keep it in it no you can have that honestly you can have that wow To go back enough to use it for something thought it is it is excellent. It's really all the merch the nation merges of a good quality Yeah, this is very heavy duty now.

It must be because they've got the proper It's all yeah, no, it's proper anyway I've a picture on our website the cheap to the co-op and also on our Instagram account It's a cheap show pod. Well, it has a thing here. I'm gonna take our regime This is to car a gee my Asha incorporated. I will say this there are no prices of these particular items So yeah, we have to guess and whatever book great thing lovely thing lovely things that's item number one now item number two I think it's for me and I'm gonna whip it out now.

It's what came a little bit. It's a blankie of some sort It's a blankie of some sort, but what it looks from the coloration. I would say to trap door blank. Oh spoilers I was gonna do a slow reveal.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I recognize you also your line likes dealing cons I didn't mean to do it like that. I just I can't help that knowledge.

Oh, that's nice. I gotta get up to you Please see isn't it from here? I Just excited Paul. That's all it is.

Oh, that's excellent They've printed the trap door and then you've got the characters from trap door and that bottom Don't you open that trap door because there's something down there What's he called the main burk of course and what's that little keys are called? Dropped truts. You know why they called it drops. Why I'm Of course and then the character with the school is bony bony.

Yeah, yeah excellent very nice thing Paul I mean, it's probably cheap as chips, but it's pretty quite cozy and I like to be trapped or but this is just something This what these people on these websites do. Yeah, they take all properties and basically steal it Yeah, yeah, I mean that's the reason it's a lot of dodgy piece stealing going on because I'm pretty sure Who owns trap door license right now didn't get a moment from that blank didn't get any mail from the company So you can we use this artwork they just pinch it no? Oh, that's what I was gonna ask I've forgotten Apple but before I went on my diversion about who's when you're at price a strike What is distinguishing because I know about Timo yeah, I've heard of Ali Express. Yes and wish yes Yes, what distinguishes these three corporations like much, but Ali Express is more about like gadgets No, I were tech more techy whereas wish and I was more like anything fucking goes right Yeah, loads of weird random cheap shit Yeah, there's a channel I watch on YouTube called it's names Austin Evans and he does like tech stuff He's a thing where like you'll go I went on to wish and bought this stuff and we tested out against all Yeah, sometimes he goes this is fucking great for no money Then something goes this is a piece of disgusting shit that is way too costly for what it is Stuart does this random word generator ones.

Yeah, is it all Ali? He uses all I think he mittas it up to yeah, but yeah Another one of the reason why I didn't want cheap shit because I was like we just be doing that yeah, but we got sent this and Obie thank you enjoying it so far. I love the cut noodle stuff. I've got a couple new cap Yeah, they are the best cut noodles.

I don't care what experts say on YouTube videos. Shut up now There's all the things he put in the bag, but we're gonna say that for the office Christmas party because there's like that Uh, Jaffa cakes stuff. We saw you remember I showed you earlier. Oh, let's make berry flavored Jaffa cakes.

Am I ruining everything? Yes, yes, you are it is being ruined by your eagerness full of bonnie me Well, there's also you know what I am for well a cunt a bon viver now. You're a fucking oh Volver a good fatty no, I have a good fan ginger bread flavored Doritos. I have three bags of eggs They keep to take multiplied.

Do they have sex with each other? Yeah, like gremlins. Oh, you don't get them wet after midnight or something I know better than you got them wet at any stage. They'd be nasty.

What about people put milk in there? What's that was? I don't know someone was like a story milking to do Doritos like yeah, Matt monsters So there's loads of snacks and stuff that we're gonna save for the office Christmas party. We're gonna do here There's a few more little things in here There's two Lego typesets now unfortunately for you.

I've only chosen the one I want you can have the other one Alright, well beggars can't be choose. You know like I'm begging. I'm not begging for them There should be another thing beggars giftees can't be choosers. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Is that close? Yeah, you can have this one. You know me. I know it's gonna get any lego today So why would I be disappointed?

I didn't get to me. You could have just said here's your one. Yeah, you didn't have to make a thing about it But I have and I did and I just a little it's a little needle isn't it? Yeah, you're just trying to put say in this hierarchy You're trying to get the cannons is best.

Yeah, yeah, fuck you how about that? Well, it's okay. I didn't need to get your house. I mean you could have thought I'm not I'm not playing about it You are that's why you're raising your voice.

I'm like you making a big deal about it I know but you shouldn't because fucking that is boss bad. He fucking self in the arse So you've got two Lego sets and an official lego lego leg They are by a company called Jackie. Okay, and so my lego set is a Sony original Walkman set You're the original Sony Walkman blue. Oh, that's very nice.

That's very nice So that's a little cassette comes with as well. I'm trying to look at the Yes, but I'm looking at the loose blocks and I'm seeing like I guess why because that's a fun thing to do Paul Is it you've not shown that to be true so far what guessing yeah and big observance and I know everything And things you know what I was thinking about this today. Oh yours. You don't You don't like thinking I do like thinking I think a lot if anything I think too much That's why I'm mentally tired all the time, but then yes, but you like edit No, I mean no they don't know They don't know TV everyone.

Yeah, you got TV one. It's a bigger one than that one. They're a little mini one I've got that came in the Jackbox or whatever. It's bigger than that.

Yeah. Yeah, this is a red television cathode ray tube style Yes, you are too. What those they call me via tenor. Well, they're locally they call them rabbit ears Don't grab it is that's it.

I need it was a term rabbit and tenor. Yeah, and it's got rainbow in the picture. Yeah, there's no signal Nice, so that's a little lego. So if you I got the walk in one, I was just like, hey, I'm out of it.

Can you make it a sticker? Yeah, you probably have to put a sticker on something don't you know at some point? Probably got a sticker feature. That's no signal.

Yeah, that's the cover is that no, that's not the back of the back Or maybe just a separate sticker. I think it's just a separate sticker. I don't think I open your book open your book Oh, maybe oh, no, no, this is a stick for the Lego bricks themselves. It's a little thing stick on I don't want to make this can you make it for me.

Why don't you want to make it? I don't enjoy making legos So last time you made legos years ago. I don't care mate. I find it like I was a little bit of a book for like you know Like when you relax, it's a lovely moment put some music on just play with that for often I do I draw and stuff like that But you could sit your table and make a little lego set anyway Everyone doing something I don't like doing.

Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear So fucking hard to come to record a podcast. I know we were asked to do this talk and you get free stuff I wasn't talking about it.

I'm just saying I don't like Lego. You are a win-ging little toe rope Don't call me toe rope. That's much worse than you think it is. You know where that comes from Is it probably something you've misremembered that I have to edit out the podcast when I do research for it later?

No No, because that tends to be what happens you say here's the actual history of this thing and then I do it Look at what we're editing and I go well, that's being chopped out. They go absolutely not true No, well, we'll not get into it. We've got lots of I just want to say to rag. It's a bum.

It's a basically a poom rag on a On a ship. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's good thing. How this rope that goes down the toilet.

Yeah, it's just a hole into the sea Yeah, and it's the rag there that everyone uses on a bug I'm just gonna put this in there with me one second Eli. You're absolutely correct great. That's absolutely false Eli. I've cut it out That's how they say Goin to rag origin mid 19th century originally denoting a rag-rapped rounder foot as a sock or by extension the wearer Setches of a gun so one last little thing before we get into the price of choice.

There's just a bag of curios and knickknacks Oh, I do love the lap out I put something on your lap we can you know? I've got my lap out my lap is always out. Give me a board or something a lap board. Keep it flat.

Here we go Oh, nice. I'm pouring it out onto a lovely. This is the one I haven't really looked at properly But it's a little bag of Ali Express knickknacks and curios. I don't know what's in it pulls give me an impromptu lap board made from Cawking right it's a cocking mate.

It's a ruffled crisp hair clip. Yes, it's a little clip But it looks like two ruffled priggles di paraboloid shapes. Yeah, that's excellent I like things that look like other things especially in they look like things at food. What a great observation.

Oh, what are they these toxic high school cards? Oh, yeah, oh these are small Five packs of those. Yeah, there's a seemingly chewing gum in there. I don't really want to eat that It's be dry, right?

Let's see. I'm not so because the ones I got were bigger I was right there much higher than a local toxic high. Yeah, and you get two cards in as opposed to the fourth Maybe it's just a different format by the same company. Oh the gummies or the chewing gum is brown with bits It's rancid shit It's fine.

It's not the kid you know obviously it's fine I've got my fingers in my mouth and I'll eat them or whatever, but all the flavors go on you smell it. Yeah, there's no No, it smells like cardboard. Yeah, but it sounds like oh here we go. I like these I like the art the artist Um, yeah, where's that artists?

It's a famous done a lot of stuff with these tops originally. Yeah, it says on the bottom corner tops So they're they're just a different format pack, but are they knock off because they feel cheap compared to the other set I've got somewhere just a different format. Well, anyway, I put a few pictures of those up We'll get them all out now. What else is in there now?

This is oh, I know what this is a 3d printed thing This is super mario christ or mighty it is an audio podcast. This is you need to hear when you do mouth big musical instrument, I believe I'm talking You put your eyes off it stop just pick up your toys from the plan out the plan the ones I just thrown out Yeah, I thought I'm back in the pram now. Yeah, put them back in the pram. No, don't want to I'm just gonna throw them out again Oh, right.

We'll leave them out there. Why? Baby poorly won't he bottle? This is actually more like what's where?

Pauli won't be a t-j Where you'll have to talk to your mother about that? Oh, you're my mama Where? I'm a titty milk from mama Right, and I titty milk afterwards. Dictitty.

Dictitty. That's a cool back everybody. Good cool back as well. Dictitty.

This is yeah, Mario Super Mario branded. It is a key. It's not official. It is a blue rectangle with sort of gill-like I'll tell you what I can see what it does.

No, it's an instrument basically makes noise. Is that it? No, you're doing it wrong. Give it here.

It's a little plastic like give it here. It's a little plastic prong plastic prong plastic prong. plastic prong Whoa, it is each prong is basically chewing a little bit differently. So when you slowly run it across the thing it sounds like you're on your thumb across a cone.

I know. Yeah, so if you do it with the right speed it makes more sense. Let me try it. Okay, slower than I was doing.

Yeah, no. Yeah, that's the driver himself. That's fair enough everyone. It makes a bit of a noise.

I think it's did it. I think it's that. Oh, it's meant to play the tune. Yeah, it's Mario tune.

It's a part of it. I got it. Yeah, no, it's not. And using bollocks all the same.

You could probably get the knack of that. Yeah, yeah. Oh, there's a little miniature noodle thing. Oh, what is that?

Is it a sauce? Should I open it? I mean, you may as well. It's a little part of the plastic parfait noodle.

Okay, so it's an eraser. It's a little noodle biscuit shaped eraser. A little deck of instant noodles in the basket of noodle is what it is. A little deck of instant noodles out of smell.

I'll just roll this smell. I'll find that. But it's very convincing like one third size sort of poth noodle thing. I thought it was a real little sauce pot.

Pictures of everything will be all the way around. Well, you know, if I see a person who's struggling, I want to help, don't I? It's one of your least appealing traits. Yeah.

You know how to close a car boot door, for example. Well, you have trouble doing it. Fuck you. Right.

Next look, I said back on. Right. He has to do himself to see that it's difficult. See?

See? See? I haven't started properly yet. How do I struggle?

I don't want to break it. I don't want to break it. I don't want to live the line. Oh, you haven't put the lid on properly?

That's what it is? Yes. Ah, fuck it. There we go.

Good. Well done, Paul. Next, next. Another noodle eraser.

But this one's in like a deck, instead of in a cup noodle. Yeah. This is like a just a flat deck of them. Nice.

There you go, Paul. I don't want to open that. All right. No, I'm going to step it over there.

I'll ruin it. I have a whale-spranded pack of playing cards. The country whales not the great big things under the water. That's the Welsh flag.

Which must have a name, because flags have names. Uh, it is the... No, I'm trying to try to think of it. Because I was told it.

It's just a flag of St David or something. Oh, yeah. Something like that. There it is.

Nice. A track to pack of playing cards. What else we got in this? Another keychain.

This is a beer opener. Whales, this is... Oh, OK. So are they from?

Whales are the five-loud. They're quite chunky little piece of metal there. Yeah. Oh, and there are some pin badges.

Oh, right. Hang on there. Let's deal with the last of the keychains. Right.

I don't understand what this is. It's a plastic made to look like a piece of rock. I tell, look. Oh, you know what?

Or beef or...? It's meant to be like a slice of like teriyaki meat or something. Yeah. It is.

It's a little chunky... Beef jerky or something. Yes, that's it. I like that.

Yeah. I like the food-shaped things. Yeah, no, I've got the crisper clips and the dingle dangle... Uh, meat dangle.

Meat dangle. Put those over there. Now we're on to the pin badges. Right, what have we got?

You don't want any of these. Let's see. I haven't seen... I've looked in this bag.

I don't know. I'll give it over here. OK. I'll take my lap tray away.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Sorry!

No, no, no, no. But you don't amplify that. No. Come on.

That'll be picked up. No, it will. That'll be a little bit of a sprat. I heard it from here.

That'll be a sprat. Please. Play that back again and again. There's a ghost buses one ball.

I've got this. It's a logo. It's a logo, but it's... As if the ghost from the logo, his name is...

Mooghly. Mooghly. Had a baby with Slimer. So it's Mooghly shape, but Slimer colour.

Oh, yeah, no, I've got that. You can see on my board, just there. Yeah. It's smaller.

Well, you can have it. You can have it. See which one you prefer. I'm going to keep the one I've got up there.

That was sent to me. That was nice. Well, thank you, Obi, all the same. Thank you, Obi.

And then we had a Game Boy one. I bet you've got this one. That one's up there somewhere. We're doing this.

It's on the board. How's the hell, Harrow? Oh, no, there it is. If you go to like 10 o'clock in the corner, the board, you see the whole thing is a clock.

Yes. Head towards like the 10 o'clock angle from the center. You'll see it by the kind of player that did mention in the top of the zone. Yeah, I'm there.

Cool. What is that Game Boy original Game Boy? That's a Game Boy colour. And it has Game Boy logo.

It has this one. It says pocket on it. Yeah, it'll be this one because I've got a Game Boy pocket right here. And it's the same color yellow with a copy of Donkey Kong Land, which is also yellow.

Oh, it's all things. Donkey Kong. Oh, that's a lovely little unit. That's a colour, but it's called colour.

It's the same as the original Game Boy, but just a lot thinner. So that's just like a better version, essentially, of the original. Yeah. Anyway, you have that badge with X.

Now we have another Ghostbusters pin. Oh, let's have a look. This is Marshmallow Man riding an X-O one with Sliner. Oh, no, I'll have that one.

I don't have that one. That one always pops up on my eBay. And what's the last one? Another noodle-based item, poor.

Oh, what is it? Shin, right? Which is a type of noodle. A Korea-projuming show.

It's a famous noodle brand. Well, the brand is Nong Shin, but the cup is Shin. The touch Shin Ramen is a type of Korean Ramen. It's very spicy.

After eating one of those, I'm like, touch Shin cloth. I'm a very funny man. Which one even Eli Silverman? I think, objectively.

Yeah. It doesn't fight back on that. Like, look, you just haven't shown me yet. It's a little muted, the colouring on that.

Oh, it's nice. I don't know. It's subtle, but like, kind of cool as well. Like, kind of outside the arty almost.

I'll wear that. Yeah, that's nice. So that's a bag of lambish. But now it's time for the main event.

Now it's time for the price of Shin with the digital sauce. So I'm looking forward to playing it. De-de-de-de-de. Price, oh shard.

Master, price. Price, that's a combination. No, let's not do that. Let's not do the obvious joke here.

Spunk up your mouth, pallet. Bipple, bop-ble, bop-ble. And there we go. Bipple, bop-ble, when all else fails.

Bipple, bop-ble, bop-ble, bop-ble. For me, like... He know you liked it. And he don't like it?

No, he didn't like it. So you know how awful this happens. We get to repeat things. You've got exactly every phoneme and syllable right?

Bipple, bop-ble, bop-ble, it's Quack. Bipple, bop-ble, bop. I'll give you the ph See, a phoney, phoney. I'll give you a pho mean.

I'll give you a phoney, phoney, phoney. I'll give you a hard phoney show. I'll give you one can do it. No, no, no, no.

We're both making wanking gestures right now as we do this. I'll give you pho mean. You'll know you've been phoning too. You'll know where you've been phoned.

No, come on. You're gonna say that, you're gonna say that, fucking button. People are in a fashion. Fucking hack.

It's the fucking price of shite. It's the fucking price of shite. It's the fucking price of shite. It's that fucking price of shite.

And that's right. And that's right. It is the price of shite. The game show, the whole world knows and reveals.

And that is right. And Eli and I, we get to the off-center, so we choose ourselves and catch up. And we have to guess the prices. And that's right.

Now, obviously, this one's been sent by Obie. So let's go into Obie's rules and five items. Yeah, that's right. And that is right.

Yeah, Christ. I've got a joke, Paul. I'm just gonna go over to witnesses. All right, please do.

Is this one from your mate Adam? Yeah, he just says he's like a staff writer for a cheap show now, then. He just sits there and sends you shit fucking messages on WhatsApp. When you're following your report.

He's just checking during the break. And this joke's come through. And I just wanna essay it. He joke report.

Strawberry, sugar, lemon juice and pectin. Now, that's my jam. Fuck off. Just fuck off.

Time-wasting clamps. You know what this? That is. It's a candy pork chunk.

Is it? A chum-kum. Whatever the fuck channel is. You can edit that in.

No, I'm leaving that in. The skid-s say the picture. No, this shouldn't be a podcast where we highlight farts. I know.

There's one of these ones that have been taken seriously. There's lots of things that this shouldn't be. That's true. Because we're Maverick.

You're doing it now. The fucking Richard Osman let rip. Do you want one of his fucking let's talk about pop culture podcasts? Yeah, but the adaptation of his novel into a series on Netflix.

Or film or whatever. It's one of those unturnable films I've ever fucking seen. I think she hadn't put you down something like that. No, but he got a great big fat check out of that.

And here we are. Filling the world with slop. And we're just filling the world with arse gruffs. Right.

The price of shite. AliExpress edition. Normal rules apply. So everything £10.50.

Right. Total ceiling price. That is the ceiling on this one. That is an exact ceiling.

All items are below £1. So therefore no. Wait, how many items? All items.

Sorry, I read that. There's five items. I said they're already five items. £10.50 altogether.

No items below £1. No items below £1. So I'm assuming £1. That leads me to the next question, Paul.

Do you want me to tell you this before you ask the question? Answer the question in the course. Please. Right.

Alex Bryce items. Alex Bryce items. I fucking want to get the tonal quality of the words right. I'll do that.

What? I said something unchomped. I said something unchomped. That's a new word.

That's a new word. That's a new word. All AliExpress items are randomly priced so they are not around prices. There's no £1.2 or ending in £25.50 or £75.50.

That has answered the question. Because I was wondering if the quid's gambit rule would be in play. Well theoretically it should be because it says, oh no because it says no. No.

No quid's gambit. Yes. But also it's going to be a little bit tougher to get those one single betwings because here's the other thing. We don't give away points.

We give away betwings. If you get the price exactly right, two betwings. It's going to be a 25p e the correct price. That is one betwings.

No other little gambit to imply. So surely then it's going to be harder for us to get the exact two betwings on the nose. That's what you meant right? Yes.

I would almost say we are not going to get any two betwings. Possibly not. And you know like randomly priced it could be £1.74. Something like that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy. I know. We're going to have to step up our game because this is not our comfort zone.

Well, you know, it's a stranger thing that happens. Should we play this? Yeah. Right.

Okay. We have a bag. We've got the bag. We've got the bag.

And I've got the bag. Oh, it's a pair of ghost busters on the pants with the logo on the front on the back. And on the back and the logo is like the boogly ghost being pulled out the logo and into a trap. Yeah.

So not official. I'm going to put them on. Oh, no. It's going to do it like Superman.

He's putting them over his pants. This is cool. I've got to get a photo of this. Right.

I'm getting a photo. No, it's fine. That's fine. This is good, Paul.

Yeah. It's very much center of the shot. Don't fall over there. Try not to have your legs apart because you put the arse.

Let me see the arse. I don't know. Look, look, you have a health condition. If anyone believes that this will be your opinion.

It's fucking awesome. Cock. Take it. I did take it.

I find it. Yeah. Now everyone will see how manly I am. You keep those on for the rest of the recording.

I am. So they're very gnarly looking. You want to touch them? Come on.

But you've got them on now. I'm just going to touch them. So I buy this side by the legs. They feel...

No, I'm not going near the guss. I'm not. Stop. Back off.

Back off. No one could be afraid of your love eggs. Mate, my knees should be scared of my fucking love eggs. Your knees are haunted by your love eggs.

They're fucking sweeping down like the wrecking ball. The knees are just walking on. What was that? My balls are like a wrecking ball.

They touch my knees and all the floor. Right. Okay, here we go. How much do you think?

I do not like these pants. I do not like these pants. I'm just going to write pants here. Eli, do you want to go first with the gas lamp?

Okay, sure. How much do you think these are? Five items. No more than ten.

How much do ten fifties? I'd say. Let me write ten fifties here so I can remember that. Right.

I'm going to say two pounds. Eleven. Two pound eleven. Oh yeah.

But also, if I know either way that I can't get it spot on, I may just go for the one between. So I can be 25 p.m. either way that I can be specific. Yeah.

You still have to think of a specific price. That's an error guess. I don't know what you're trying to say there, but yeah. I'm going to say four quid for these.

Four on the nose. Yeah, four. You know for a fact it's not going to be. No.

But I also clean another. It's like 376. But then if it's 425 I'm going to be able to get it on. Yes, but I'm still going to put four quid though.

That's fine. But do you see what I mean? That's not a legitimate strategy, what you're saying? Well, no, because if you do give a random guess, then you at least have a chance of getting it.

Yeah. But now by choosing just the clean four number, even number, there's no chance. So some chances better than no chance. Then I would argue if I try and aim to get two between the most of the prices, I've got more chance of actually missing all of them to get one.

See, that's why I disagree with anyway. Moving on. I like these strategy talks, Paul. Right.

Okay. So that's the pants. You said two eleven. I said four.

Okay. Let's go on to the second item. I'll let you do the next item. Okay.

And it is a one on bandit key wing. Oh, is it key ring and a wing and it works. Does it? Yeah.

I mean, two, one, two, seven. It's not proper proper work. So it works. It doesn't spin individually, though.

It does. It does. Yeah. That's right.

What do you get? Maybe it doesn't. It's fake. You're right.

But still it quite impressive mechanism. I mean, it's like a little look. It's a little metal. It's a little one on bandit fruit machine thing.

It works well. It says lucky. Lucky what? Sevens probably.

Sloth. Lucky sloth. I do a lot. Yeah.
