This is Lightly Used with Adam and Karen. Welcome
to Lightly Used, episode 36. Hello. I'm Adam.
And I'm Karen. This is a podcast where we mostly
celebrate our finds from charity shops or things
that we've found in our attics or... Someone
else's attic. Just sat on the shelf for ages
and ages. Oh, yeah, yeah. I've stopped looking
through that now. I've noticed the thing I've
got. Yeah. Dusted it off. We compare them and
stuff. Yeah, that's about right. Generally what
we do here. Yeah. I'm sure there's a much more
eloquent way of putting that. I mean, possibly,
but we're not... It escapes me for the minute.
Neither of us have claimed to be wordsmiths,
so I think some word salad is fine. Yes. To start
off this episode, I've got a correction slash
explanation. Ooh. It was for me trying to stop
you from doing the tat in the box jingle at the
start of last episode. Oh, right, OK. I didn't
think you'd got anything, because you said that
you were tired and you were umming and ahhing
whether you were going to come round to record.
And I felt like I persuaded you to come round.
No, you didn't persuade me. Strong -armed, maybe.
Anyway. Because you didn't have your 'box O' Tat'
items, I thought just making you sing for me
felt weird. So that's why I went. Look, I've
done you with items today. We don't need to jingle.
And then when you had presents for me, I didn't
explain myself very well in this podcast. I genuinely
thought, oh, it's just one -sided this week,
and I don't need to be singing and dancing for
me. Aw, but I like to sing for you. That would
have felt weirder. I'm never dancing for you.
No, not a chance. The clapping I feel counts
as dancing. There's actions involved. Sit -down
dancing. Oh, I'm definitely a sit -down dancer.
The bare minimum of sit -down dancing. Your arms
are moving to clap. well i enjoy singing the
jingle so i felt put off by you saying don't
sing the jingle just for me i'm like fuck you
i'm singing the jingle for you and for me and
for all the lovely listeners so i'm gonna do
it anyway yeah i did not notice that you brought
your backpack in here that you don't usually
do i'd be a terrible security guard no one ever
gave adam a security job no no that's definitely
out of the ordinary Didn't notice it at all.
And that it was bulging with stuff. It wasn't
bulging. There's an entire hoodie stuffed in
there. But I had folded it really economically.
It wasn't taking up that much space. Speaking
of the card game, we didn't play it. And I owe
an apology to your mum for that. After the spillage,
I'll be honest, I went into panic mode. I forgot
what comes next in the show. And also... Other
than panicking and forgetting how the podcast
works entirely. A lot of this side of the desk
was quite wet. It was very soggy. I think it's
okay. I don't think one will be offended that
we didn't play the game. We will play the game
on the podcast at some point because I am interested
to see how it works. And I need to know if we've
been pronouncing it correctly. Yeah. If it's
ski -ho or... We've been saying sky -jo. Ski
-jo. But, I mean... I knew it was a card game
and I had no plans to force you to play it last
week when we recorded. So I think it's OK. Mum
won't be offended. In my mind, when I was guessing
it and it was revealed it was a card game, I
was going, right, this is what we're playing
next. We're going to do this as the next segment.
And oh, hang on, we've got Johnny Turnip to do.
Then I made a mess and then everything went to
cock. Spilt water. Never mind. And also, it was
our first show back after a month. That's true.
We had had some time off. We'd been missing the
Johnny Turnip segment and doing it back in the
show. Hang on. We're kind of done. One, two,
three segments. Yeah, yeah. That's all the show
done. Yeah. All the ingredients there. It was
like making scones but forgetting the fruit or
something. Like you were three quarters of the
way there and the rest just went out the window.
Yeah. Sorry about that. It's fine. Mum won't
mind. Ooh. Do you have a kitten update? Is Winnie
winter or Winston? Unknown. I'm still convinced
that she's a Winnie, but I will hopefully be
taking her and Kiara to the vets on Monday after
work. So watch this space and I'll have an official
gender update according to the vet. Watch this
space. Yeah, she's a little shit. Potentially,
he's a little shit. Well, they said kitten Winnie
is a shit. I'm not going to go back and edit
the insults out. I don't expect you to. I'm just
covering her bases now. Yeah, that cat is a shit.
Coming up on, oh, sorry, have you got anything
else? I have got an update. Oh, sorry. Re the
parking ticket situation. So as you will recall,
directly before Christmas, I went and got myself
a parking ticket because I forgot the number
plate of my car. And then in the process of getting
out of my car to put the number plate into the
app to pay for parking, I then forgot to put
my blue badge on the dashboard. And when I came
back, I'd been spotted by the traffic wardens
who were doing their job and they'd given me
a ticket. Anyway, I had a letter from the council
this week saying, thank you for providing the
evidence. On this occasion, we will not pursue
a penalty. Oh, thank you, Traffic Warden for
helping out. Thank you very much, the two traffic
wardens who helped me out on that day. I really
hope they had a lovely Christmas and New Year.
Thank you to Swansea Council for being sensible,
even though I told them I hated them like two
minutes ago. But in this case, thank you for
being sensible and seeing that it was a genuine
error. You know, I had paid, so, you know, didn't
get away with it because I didn't do anything
wrong. But my forgetfulness has not been penalised.
Depending how I've edited this episode. You might
not have insulted them earlier at all. Ah, that's
a good point. So there were another thing I wanted
to tell you about was a part of Cthulhu season
five. Oh, yes. Bloodborne episode one. I listened
to it this week. Oh, it's out already. It's out
already. The first thing I did within six minutes
was send Matt a text message saying this is fucking
brilliant. The next thing I did was send Toucan
a message on Discord to say, I fucking love the
voice for your new character. I cannot wait to
see where this goes. And then just listen to
the rest of the episode. And it was brilliant.
I had a good laugh. I enjoy the characters. Richard
is Gertrude. So Richard, the new guy, has been
given the Gertrude spot. And she's a granny,
but a fashion granny. She got a big crochet handbag
and this. gets to be a gertrude everyone everyone
should have a turn at being a gertrude it's a
famous famous character but yeah really good
to have a listen find them on spotify that's
you know you can rate and review them on there
they prefer that by the way adam please can you
do a review on spotify on my behalf because i
do not use spotify to say that episode one was
excellent and that we're looking forward to the
rest of the series i will do Thank you very much.
And this is a reminder for future Adam, please
can you do a Spotify five stars and a thumbs
up excellent episode for Bloodborne episode one.
Also future Adam, sorry for making you stop editing
to load up Spotify. Otherwise you're going to
forget if you don't do it right now. Yeah, I'll
make it up to you somehow. I'll put the kettle
on. That works for me. And the other thing I
wanted to mention was Fallout season two. Spoiler
alert. Are you up to date? Yeah, but some of
our listeners... Depends how spoilery it is for
some of our listeners. This is why I'm saying
spoiler alert. I won't be saying much, but I
will be saying the following things, which don't
give much away. Macaulay Culkin, hilarious. Great
casting. Excellent casting. And... Is it wrong
that I found it super hot when the ghoul winked
at Lucy towards the end of episode four after
the drugs and guns situation? At that point,
I sort of like had a bit of a mental check with
myself that I don't actually fancy the guy who
plays the ghoul as he looks in normal life. So
why am I now finding ever so... tinily sexually
hot that he's just winked at Lucy and I was like...
Walton Goggins has swagger for days. He does.
And to be honest, a Greg Davis wink does exactly
the same thing to me. I watched the Taskmaster
opening credits just so I can see Greg Davis
wink over a typewriter. I don't know what it
is, but there is something real sexy about a
man giving a wink at the right situation. Speaking
of you and filth... What's up with your YouTube
algorithm? My YouTube algorithm was trying to
get me to watch porn at work yesterday. not actual
porn i have to i have to stress not actual triple
x adult related nakedness um no naked no nakedness
whatsoever yeah for me it's um you know how some
people have fetishes about things like some people
like feet and they find them sexy and some people
find hands sexy there's boob people bum people
thigh people i um have a bit of a thing for a
Guy called Robin who washes cars for a living.
You've got a Viking fetish. I have totally got
a Viking fetish. Maybe that's what it is. I'm
going to get him to wear a Viking helmet when
he details my car. Have you emailed him to ask,
would you do a hiccup car wash on you whilst
wearing a Viking helmet? No, and Daisy Dukes
and Wellies. He would make bank off you, at least.
I'd be so OnlyFans. But anyway, YouTube suggested
his channel, which is called Viking Detailing.
And I just put the little active window on it
so it shows you the first 30 seconds. And it
was Robin talking about Tom Lentzel's Jaguar
and how he was going to clean it. And I was like,
after about 15 seconds, I was like, I can't watch
this because this is fully going to distract
me. I can't even have this on in the background
just to listen to. Go on, Robin. Because I'm
just going to be obsessed by watching Robin wash
a car. Oh, yeah. Use a snow foam cannon. Oh,
my God. A real good snow foam coating is the
best. Oh, not the clay bar. Especially when you
get right in the nooks and crannies with the
proper cleaning tools. Oh, sexy, sexy, man. Anyway,
I don't know why washing cars has become a hot
thing for me. Maybe it's like a menopause thing.
You know, like when some women get pregnant and
they have cravings. Maybe this is like a menopause
thing where you get like a weird hotness for
something that just wouldn't normally turn you
on. Does it include sort of slow -mo hair flicking
back? I mean, Robin doesn't have much hair, but
he does have a mighty beard. I thought he's got
quite a lot of hair, but it's back. don't know
maybe maybe the problem is i haven't actually
been looking at his hair and that's why i don't
really know what he looks like i could be completely
wrong i'm just uh giving him ideas for his hip
-hop car wash youtube channel he's a tall ginger
man yeah yeah either way i'll pay i don't mind
So if you're absolutely flat broke by next episode,
we know where your money's come. Yeah, I've spent
it all on car porn. Why is your car still filthy?
I've just been watching him clean other people's
cars. Yeah, I've just been watching him. I haven't
been asking him to work on my vehicle. After
all, I'm watching him work on everyone else's.
Soapy ginger man. Soapy ginger man. Put him on
the glass. move then. That's what you're paying
extra for. Didn't squeeze them together for me.
That's what the glass is for. Robin, you've got
a whale on the hook here. You might not appreciate
that. Money -wise, I'm talking... You're within
water -throwing and face -punching distance if
I was going to choose this. I'm calling you a
whale. I was trying to be a compliment. Stop
thinking that you're insulting me. I listened.
I noticed from your reaction, I thought, I hope
that's come across as very wrong. My face hurts
from laughing at you so much. Oh, my God. Because
we listened to Cheap Show yesterday and they
were talking about poker and big fish and the
whale and this, that and the other. When you
said, so you've got a whale here, I was like,
oh, big spender. Yeah, that's what I meant. Robbie
wouldn't be comfortable with that. I wouldn't
rob him, wouldn't I? He might just not want a
whale. He might be worried. He's a businessman.
He might be worried that I'm some sort of weird
stalker. I'm going to have to tag him in this
episode now. Robbie might not want that. Oh,
hang on. I've insulted you by saying. Got a big
fat one here. Lucky you. A lot of junk in the
trunk, Robin. That's your thing. Badonk, badonk.
Back it up. Oh, my God. Should we get back on
course? I can't laugh about this anymore. My
face is genuinely painful. I have to look at
this paper to remind me what we've got coming
up for the show. I don't know how it works. At
some point, I'll get round to being able to record
Likely Used Do's with Johnny Turnip. We'll try
and play a bit of a game. We've got Ted in the
box. Do you have a bibliotech? I have a sort
of bibliotech. There is content for that section.
We've sort of got stuff to put a show together
here. Yeah, we've pretty much set up traditional
Likely Used style. I'll see what I can do to
put this together. I'm so sorry. It's me. Oh,
the fucking shambles. Oh, dear. It's likely used
news once again. Right. From Tim Butters in the
Abergavenny Chronicle on Monday, the 2nd of September,
2024. Abergavenny, man. claims out -of -body
experience has left him questioning reality.
An Abergavenny man has complained that after
unexpectedly being subjected to an out -of -body
experience at the Green Man Festival, he's not
sure what's real and what's not anymore. Semi
-professional paranormal investigator Johnny
Turnip told The Chronicle, I'm no stranger to
the weirder side of life. It's our role. But
after meeting witch Jenny Benny at the Green
Man Festival and having an astral projection
where I spoke with a pagan god from ancient times,
things have become a little tense. Turnip explained
that after being sent free tickets to the event
by an unknown admirer, he and his friends Big
Tony and Puerto Rico Paul arrived at the festival
site full of lager and keen to celebrate when
they were accosted by a witch named Jenny Benny.
We knew Jenny Benny was a witch as soon as we
jumped off the shuttle bus. She had green skin,
a crooked nose, and she dressed all in black.
She even had one of those great big hats and
broomsticks, like the one who wants to kill and
eat Dorothy and the dog in The Wizard of Oz,
said Turnip. Puerto Rico Paul got on the wrong
side straight away when he smirked. Hello, hag.
We're not looking to buy any of your gypsy charms
or crystals today, so be a good little bride
of Satan and jump on your broomstick and fly
away. Like a lot of people who meet Paul for
the first time, she just looked at him with contempt
and waved one wart -covered hand in his face
and crooned, The sky is wide, the ocean is deep,
my empty -headed fool, it's time to sleep. Almost
instantly, Paul fell to the ground like a sack
of spuds and began snoring. To be honest, I've
always been impressed by magic and a massive
fan of David Blaine, so my first reaction was
to clap furiously. However... Since reading the
Roald Dahl book as a kid, Big Tony's always been
wary of both witchcraft and people who wear wigs.
He shouted, Oi, grubbags! Whatever you've done
to Paul, you better put it right now! As Tony
had come to the green man dressed as a hulk,
his natural bulk and surly demeanour were even
more threatening than usual. But this didn't
faze the witch none. Once again, she waved her
wart little fingers and hissed, The mountains
are tall, the way is wide. Come, little mouse,
it's time to run and hide. Big Tony embarrassed
himself something rotten. We're running into
the nearest tree, turning his back to us, covering
his eyes with his hands, and repeating in a childlike
voice, I'm not here, am I? I'm not here, am I,
my dear? I'm not here. Turnip added, It was pretty
appalling stuff, and not the way I'd envisaged
our festival experience playing out. Careful
not to upset the witch who was gazing at me with
her curious and bloodshot alcoholic eyes, I asked.
What be your name, witch, and what business have
you with us? You then said in a sort of voice
that slithered like a barrel full of rattlesnakes.
My name is Jenny Benny. I am the good witch of
the Southern Breeze, and the old gods have plucked
you, Turnip, to save the world. Not again. I
moaned involuntarily. I don't mind a bit of graft,
but how many times in a lifetime was one man
saved the world? You should ask my mate Tom Cruise.
They saw things more up his street. I was hoping
to come here, have a few beers, listen to a few
bands, and avoid anything occult -like. What
with hunting fairies, outwitting supernatural
beasts, and resurrecting King Arthur. I need
a break. It's been a busy year. Can't the old
gods wait? Turnip explained. The witch just smiled
at me like a cat before I tortured the bird some
more and replied, There is no time, lowly vegetable
of the earth. At sunset today, the old gods will
drag you from your mortal frame and break every
single limit of your imagination as they show
you the universe as is and as will be. Feeling
all cocky at being wanted and in demand? I shot
back. My imagination's pretty big, woman. Turn
up a bit, it. As soon as I said it, I was overcome
with a wave of self -disgust. Except my sound's
this jumped -up little wand -waver. I was flirting
with her. Keen to show the sorceress she was
punching way above her weight, and there was
no way a household name like myself could become
romantically interested in her, I bellowed. Bring
on your old gods, bitch! The past is theirs,
but the future is mine! Brilliant. And then getting
really into the spirit of things, I roared, I
am the resurrection and I am the light. And then
I felt a bit simple when I realised I was just
parroting a Stone Roses lyric. The subconscious
works in strange ways, that's for sure. Turnip
explained. After an embarrassed silence, the
witch finally released Puerto Rico Paul and Big
Tony from the bondage of a sorcery. And before
disappearing back into the shadows, she simply
pointed one gnarled finger at me and hissed.
Reality will shake. Minds will break. Wonder
low, wonder high. Follow the scream of the butterfly.
Yeah, yeah, I said dismissively. I think the
Bad Poets Society and the Doors Appreciation
Club meet every evening by the urinals, I smirked
while pointing in the direction of the foul -smelling
toilets. Now do one, Hag. Charming man. Turnip
at it. By this time, Big T and Persica Paul had
come to their senses. Or at least, what passes
for a normal state for those two. And we're all
sticking our two fingers behind the witch's back
and getting a bit leery. Well, now we've got
the paranormal crap out the way, let's hit the
bar and get wasted. I announced like a benevolent
beer -swilling god, fresh from battle. Amen to
that, said Paul. And as the three of us raced
to the nearest tent to buy some overpriced ale,
we tried to ignore that in its manic excitement
to get tanked up and escape reality. Big Tony'd
accidentally knocked a baby boomer in caftan
and sandals over. For Christ's sake, T, said
Paul as we settled our pints on the grassy bank
a few minutes later. That poor guy. He must have
been out being mowed down by Jonah Lomu at full
pelt. He'll be all right, smirked T. He just
won't be able to watch The Incredible Hulk again
without having a panic attack. Roaring with mirth
and knocking our plastic mugs together like conquering
Vikings, it felt good to be alive, drunk and
sitting with friends in the setting sun. Wasn't
sure about the wailing coming from this stage,
though. Still, kind of everything. As the sky
slowly turned crimson red, I pondered the insanity
of having to live a life governed by the warnings
of witches, pagan gods, and friends who thought
it was appropriate to come to a music festival
dressed as the Hulk and Simon Le Bon. And, as
I idly entertained the thought, the sun going
down is simply an illusion of the earth spinning
around. I felt the first twinges of a dehydration
headache. But before I could ask Pertulika Paul
if he had any codeine, my consciousness was ripped
from my body and I was dragged to what I have
since learned are the astral realms. To be continued.
Doing tat first, then donate? Or donate first,
then tat? You could probably see what one of
them is because the box isn't fully closed. Oh,
I thought that was what we were playing before
you said anything. I would have still had to
try and work it out. No, you told me to stop
bringing games to your house because there were
so many. So we'll do the donation first. See
if you can guess what it is, all right? Oh, you're
missing something. What? Oh, shit, yeah. God,
there's me complaining at the start about not
being allowed to do the jingle and I've fucking
forgotten to do it. Ladies, gentlemen, and everyone
in between, sing along. It's time for Tat in
the Box, Tat in the Box, Tat in the Box, Tat
in the Box, Tat in the Box, Tat in the Box, Tat
in the Box, Tat in the Box. I nearly clapped
at the right time as well. You did really well
then. I was impressed. I wasn't deliberately
trying to put you off for a change. I could tell.
I wasn't paying much attention anyway. So this
is the donation item. I've had my eyes closed
all this time as well, just for the record. It's
on the table in front of you. Have a guess. Have
a feel. What do you think it is? It's a Trivial
Pursuit. Oh, fuck me. Your hands are so psychic.
Do you know what version of Trivial Pursuit is?
I didn't look that closely. I barely made it
through the Trivial Pursuit sticking out of the
box, I'll be honest. So this is the DVD version
of Trivial Pursuit, which I picked up from a
bunch of free games through Facebook ages ago.
And I don't own a DVD player. I have no intentions
of purchasing one. So as this is a game we are
unlikely to play. Without the DVD section, I
don't even know if you can play it as a standard
Trivial Pursuit. I figured I'd donate it back
to a charity shop of some verata. Is it like
Atmosphere or something where all... No, no,
you've got questions. There are question cards.
I don't know. I don't know. I'm not even sure
if it's even been played. Oh, it's not sealed.
So it might have been. Not mintong. Probably
not played with many times. TV trends, gossip,
music, film, sports and games. Oh, yeah, it's
only certain squares that have got DVDs. Oh,
right. Oh, so we could potentially play it without
the DVD. If you land in a wedge space, you're
going for a scoring wedge. Instead of drawing
a card from the box and reading the question,
go to the DVD to select your question. Oh, I
think you could probably not. Yeah, you could
probably skip the DVD section altogether. I think
just use that as a free choice of what one do
you want to go for? Yeah. So this is the Horn
Abbott International Parker version DVD TV games
of Trivial Pursuit for two to 24 players. Flipping
heck. Ages 15 to adult. Does that mean that you
can't play beyond 21 because you've reached adult?
1 ,800 questions on cards and 150 on DVD. You
could probably definitely get away without doing
the DVD section. Yeah, and there seems to be
very limited questions on the DVDs as well. There's
audio clips, video clips, matching puzzles, scrambled
puzzles, and newspaper headlines to sort of reveal
correct answers. You have to move the thing around.
Oh, right, okay. Oh, I mean, we could have just
a quick, like, pull the questions out. Can you
answer the questions? Do you want to do that?
You pick a question, I'll pick a question. There
you go. I'll pick some of these cards here. Okay,
I've got some in my hand. Would you like TV,
trends, gossip, music, film, sports and games?
Can I go for TV, please? You can go for TV. Which
TV series went to boldly go where no one has
gone before? Fucking hell. Star Trek. What does
the card say? Sorry, I'm trying to get my cards
the right way round. Funnily enough, the card
says Star Trek. That's these questions way round.
Those answer way round. I will go for film, please.
Probably a bad idea. Oh, I don't know the answer
to this one. Oh, shit. But it's a stupid question.
Okay. And I'm kind of interested to find out.
Okay. Which mad movie popularised the word babelicious?
Babelicious? Babelicious, babelicious. Oh, really?
The word mad in the title, that doesn't help
at all. It's a spin -off. Babelicious, spin -off.
Of an American TV series. Um... 1990s, if that
helps. Doesn't, no. The word schwing also came
from it. Schwing? That's not on the card. That's
Bill and... No, Wayne's World? Yes. There we
are. Got there in the end. Yeah, I forgot Babylicious.
Thank you for the hint. What category would you
like? Could we do two more each? I will try a...
I'll try a film then. Okay. Which movie award
celebrated its 70th birthday in 1998? The Academy
Awards, the Oscars. The Oscar or Academy Award.
Well done. Officially, I was wondering, would
they be allowed to say the Oscars on the card?
Yeah. All right. I'll go for music, please. With
zero chance of me getting this correct. I think
you might. What is Eminem's real name? Eminem
is initials. Mike Mitchell. Marshall Mathers.
Oh. The third. Oh, okay. All right, pick a subject.
Well, just by looking at the question on mine
for tea, I'll go for trends. Oh, okay. Which
musical movie do male audience members traditionally
wear stockings under suspenders for? You should
know this. Oh, sorry, what was the question again?
It is, which musical movie do male audience members
traditionally wear... The Rocky Horror Picture
Show. Yeah, correct. I'm not even going to look
at the answers. I know you're correct. For some
reason, my brain just blanked out the entire
word musical movie. I got stockings and suspenders
in your brain. What? Oh, no, it's not going to
be panto. Hang on. Let me get the question again.
Something just, some critical information just
dropped out there. Oh, dear. I will try trends
as well. What's popular kids' sweets? were given
trainers and bum bags to boost their street cred
in the 1990s. Trainers and bum bags. Sweets.
Were they like a hard -boiled sweet or like a
chocolate sweet or a squishy sweet? No, gummy,
squishy. Which popular kids' sweets? Haribo?
No, not a brand specific. It's a sort of general
sweet that's been around for... Jelly babies.
Yes. Hey! I used to live near the Bassett's factory
in Hillsborough. It stank. I was going to say,
did you have wafts coming off it occasionally?
Yeah, every time the wind was in the right direction,
all you could smell was licorice. It was disgusting.
I think we did all right, though. Yeah. Should
we have a round before you give it back to the
shop? And we'll just skip any time a DVD one
comes up. It can be dealer's choice of which
category you want to choose. Sounds good to me.
There we go. We'll have a quick go of Trivial
Pursuits after. Marvellous. Thank you. You've
got an idea of how we'll do from that already,
mate. Yeah, badly, very, very. No, I thought
we did all right. Very bad. Considering we're
not very cool. I don't know about you. I think
I'm exceedingly cool. My nephews would tell you
how cool I am. That's how cool I am. I am. Do
your nephews know Eminem's real name? That's
a cool thing to know. I don't know. Okay, would
you like to do Genuine Tat? Yes, please. Eyes
closed, hands out. Eyes are closed, hands are
out. Okie dokie. Picking a pokey. It's in between
your hands. Oh, it's cylindrical. He's got his
hands around it. A little lip there. It feels
like a small thermos. Oh. I'm guessing. Oh, and
the lid on through. It's maybe not be a branded
thermos, but is a small flask of some kind. It
is indeed a small flask of some kind. I can't
guess the colour. I don't have the magic hands
that you do. All right. Open your eyes. Tell
everyone what it is. Oh, that's quite funky.
It is, isn't it? It is a aquamarine or turquoise,
teal, Crayola. in the shape of a crayon. Yes,
it is. So the lid that comes off is the nib of
the crayon. Yeah. That's pretty cool. It is.
It's excellent, isn't it? So this cost me £1
.50 from the British Heart Foundation. It was
one of those things that I spotted out the corner
of my eye on the way out of the shop and I was
like, ooh, I've got to have that. That'll be
great for tatting the box. So that came home
with me. I think it's from Llanelli rather than
Swansea because the Swansea British Heart Foundation
isn't great for tat. It's like... two shelves
and they're like bookshelves not much of a selection
then no no they're definitely more clothes but
this is a 2010 crayola every holder products
limited based in anaheim it takes 340 milliliters
in capacity uh so it's a tiny bit bigger than
a can of coke uh not that i would suggest keeping
fizzy drinks in it because they don't tend to
do well in thermos type things This exact flask,
the exact same flask is on eBay for a fiver.
So I've done £3 .50 better. You can go to a website
called Present and Correct. They have brand new
repros and they are selling them for, have a
guess. I'm guessing about £8 to £12. £35. What?
No. £35. It is just plastic. There's no metal.
It is just plastic. There's no metal. It's just,
it's like a double -walled plastic thermos. It
is nice, but it's not £35 nice. It is definitely
not £35 nice. And the colours they've got. are
not quite as nice as the sort of turquoisey one
that I've got. I have not used it yet, but next
time I do a road trip, I think I will. And it'll
take hot and cold beverages. I'm interested to
see how long it keeps things warm for with no
metal. That's a good point. If it was about four
times the size of this, like a colossal novelty
item, then it may be £35. I don't know if it's
microwavable. Hang on. I didn't quite get it
in the light well enough to read too much on
there. It's got the triangle -y arrow -y things
with a 5pp. It doesn't say do not microwave.
Oh, do not use in microwave. There we are. It
is not microwavable, but it is. Recyclable. Recyclable
in the long -term microplastics universe. There
we are. One Crayola. Thermos. Okie doke. Your
turn. My turn to have a feel. And maybe reveal
with my psychic fingers what I... Did I already
say feel? I think I already said feel. Bollocks.
Okay. Eyes are closed, hands are out. I can't
rhyme. Okay, so the first item is the donation
item. Okay. Are my hands far enough apart? Oh,
yeah, yeah. It's something I've had for quite
a while. There you go. It's more clothing. Yeah.
Is this actually a pair of jeans? Not jeans.
Not jeans. The right end of the body. There's
a waistline. Jesus fucking Christ. Now what are
you getting rid of these? They're yowch. They're
fucking yowch, mate. And far too long as well.
Fucking yowch. Good pockets. That should give
you an idea of the style of trousers from where
you're feeling. Oh, they're work pants. They're
like workman's, sexy workman's trousers. Not
quite as expensive sounding, but less fashionable
and from the 90s style. Lovely zip. Are they
like combat style ones? Yeah. Nice. Cargo. They
are proper cargo pants in khaki. I mean, they
are nice colour and they're in good condition
and very, very useful number of pockets, but
they're just, I don't think I've ever been quite
that wide to fit in them and certainly I've never
been that tall enough to be in them. They're
a 42 -32, so they're probably two inches, maybe
two and a half inches too long and they're about
four to six inches too wide. So, good donation
item. And they're actually in really good unworn
nick. Someone will have a really good pair of
trousers out of these. I think I might have worn
them once with a belt. and maybe roll the ends
up because I needed a pair of trousers that were
jeans. Love a turn -up. I've got at least three
pairs of jeans with turn -ups. All of my dungarees
have got turn -ups. Or it might have been late
enough in the 2000s when you could still have
sort of Timberland -y heels, and I was maybe
tall enough to not. Oh, yeah, you've got your
little cruiser -izes on the go. I think that's
the one time I wore them out. You can see the
remnants of where I sat in some gum. Oh, lovely.
The one time I wore these trousers out and they've
been washed and I've... Actually, they're so
old enough that some's coming off now. Put the
whole thing in the freezer. Very, very old. They're
really good, Nick, though. They're really hardy,
good quality fabric. Someone will have a great
pair of trousers with those. OK, so the item
I've got from a charity shop. OK, eyes are closed,
hands are... Palm side up. I think those trousers
were Christmas presents from maybe a decade or
so ago. The item is between your hands. Close,
close, close. Oh my God, it's so tiny. Oh, it's
cold. Oh, this is your little silver cauldron.
Yes. Oh, I like your little silver cauldron.
It's been on the shelf for ages. 10p. That was
from RSPCA Hleisnini in Llanelli. Nice. That
storage box they've got of cassettes. Oh, the
crap that they give away for nothing. Sources,
any old literally odds and sods that can't be
classified. Yeah, this bin of ten pence things.
It was in there. I've no idea why I bought it
because I've never had a use for it. Is this
actually silver? Is it? Hang on a minute. Get
the jeweller's loop out. It's either silver or
EPNS. Let's have a quick look. I think this is...
What does EPNS mean? EPNS, electroplated nickel
silver. I know nothing about... This is not EPNS.
Did I get more than 10 pence worth of tat there?
There's a lion there. I can't remember if the
lion is London or not. I do actually have a jeweller's
loop, just not on me. I was only joking. No,
I've got one at home. I did not expect you to
have a legitimate jeweller's loop. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. I used to collect all sorts of crap from
boot sales. I might have actually got something
worth buying. Yeah, I don't think this is EPNS.
There's four marks. None of them say EPNS. The
first one I can't make out. The second one looks
like a lion. The second one looks like a shield
with pip or pid, or it's got three letters at
the top. And the fourth one is like a square
with sort of a little squiggly thing in it. That's
fascinating. Do you want to hang on to it and
do some research at home? Can I? Yeah, I'd be
grateful of it. Thank you. Yeah. I'd like to
know what... I won't give it much of a clean,
but what I will do is I'll get a silver cloth
just so I can try and get around. Yeah. Around
the hallmark. Oh, thank you. But yeah, I don't
think that's fake. You might actually have gotten
yourself about 50 quids worth of silver for 10p
based on its weight alone. No, that's never going
to happen. I'll let you know. Holy crap. Watch
this space, ladies and gentlemen, and everyone
else in between. I might have done good for a
change. You might. I mean, even if it's not silver,
it's a lovely bit of tat. For 10p especially,
it's a great little cauldron. But I genuinely
think that might be silver. Oh, bloody hell.
So we'll find out. I'll let you know if I'm wrong.
I don't know if I can call it a tat in the box
if it is. It's still tat at the moment. Treasure
in the box. It might become treasure in the box.
Might be going up in the world, dear listeners.
You never know. That might be a deposit for your
next car. Not unless it's like Hot Wheels. I
can't be buying more. I can't be buying more.
I have a problem. Would you like to play a game?
We've got a trivial pursuit here. I'll pursue
you in a trivial manner if you so please, good
sir. So a quick cursory glance at the rules to
refresh how exactly we play so we're not just...
Yeah, just assuming that. Winging it. We're going
to choose a wheel of cheese each. Yes. And start
on that designated colour. And then work our
way around the board answering a question based
on the colour that we land on. And if we land
on one of the DVD questions, whoever lands on
that gets to choose the category. Okay. Would
you like to choose a colour of cheese to start
with? Blue, pink, yellow or green? Oh, he knows
a bit of Welsh. He's a good boy. That was yellow,
please. I'll have the glass one then. The boy
has gone for blue. Which side of the board is
the blue? Blue. I'll go with the green. It's
closest to me. You go first. Your name's first
in the alphabet. And you're the youngest. Five.
Clockwise, isn't it? Yes. One, two, three, four,
five. See -through. What does that mean? No question.
Do we only get questions when we land on the
colours? I think it's got a picture of a dice
and I get to roll again. Oh, roll again. If we
land on, look, Chester's rules, court rules,
if we land on a clear one. One, two. Poiple.
Question of my category of my choice then. No,
you have to have the purple one, don't you? That's
a DVD square. Oh, yeah, of your choice. Pick
a category. TV. Yeah, I'm going to make it easy
for myself. I'm going to go with TV. Okay. And
watch me get this wrong. Oh, you won't. Which
city is the setting for Frasier? Seattle. Correct.
Oh, what colour do I get for it? You get a bleu.
Oh. Pick it up. Bleu de Chanel. I have a slice
of cheese. Un fromage. What do I get? Two. You
get to roll again. I do get to roll again. I
landed on a clear square. What do I get? Three.
One, two, three. Pass me back the dice. I landed
on another clear square. I actually need to get
some questions. Three, please. Blue. Blue. I'll
have a blue question then. TV. Which godforsaken
island was the home of Father Ted? Oh, God. They're
an island, aren't they? Yeah. An island in Ireland.
I don't know the names of any islands in Ireland.
A fictional. Yeah. I don't know. I can't recall.
It's Craggy Island. Oh, fuck. My brain was going
Coldy Island. I'm like, it's not Coldy Island.
That's a real place. Your turn. Where's the dice?
I can't see it. I know. It's a bloody see -through
dice. That'll be a three. Pink. Pink. That would
be trend. Here we go. No, we already went through
that question in Tat in the Box. Was it Jelly
Babies? No, it was... The only one I can remember.
Rocky Horror Picture Show. Oh. What tiny 1947
invention led to pocket radio? A transistor?
Correct. Give yourself a pink wedge. I've never
ever won a game with Trivial Pursuit, by the
way. I don't think I have either. Three. Yellow.
Okay. See if I can get myself some cheese. Probably
not. It's the general knowledge, isn't it? Gee.
Okay. Is it? I don't know. I can't remember.
Carry on. Games. I can't remember what it said
on the box. Me neither. Gossip. Oh, good luck.
Oh, shit. Who threw a ham into her neighbour's
garden in a long -running docu -rocky -soap?
Docu -rocky -soap? How old is this board game,
and how old has Mrs Brown's Boys been going?
Mrs Brown? It's 2000s, and the rock is more of
a clue in that part. No idea. It's a family that
was on TV in the 2000s. The Royals? Might as
well. The Osbournes. Oh, right. Oh, there we
are then. Sorry, Sharon. Your go, dear. It's
there. The invisible dice. Looking for just floating
spots. One, two, three, four, five, six. Reroll.
Oh, shit. Put me back on yellow, please. Five.
One, two, three, four, five. Dealer's choice.
I'll go for gossip, I guess. G -g -g -g -g -gossip.
What is the better known name of a Lady Hayden
guest? Oh. I don't know about the Lady Pop, but
just from the surname and the 2000s, was Joe
Guest still relevant? Page three, girl. It's
going to be wildly off. It'll be someone very
wholesome and family friend like Joanna Lumley.
Nearly. Jamie Lee Curtis. Oh. She dances well.
I was thinking of British. I was thinking of
British celebs. Oh. That was wildly, wildly off.
Never mind. My turn. Of course. That's Christopher
Guest. One, two, three, four, five, six. Blue,
please. Oh, that was rubbish of me. Right, blue.
TV. Which city puts up with all the shouting
on the Jerry Springer show? Jerry, Jerry, Jerry,
Jerry. Not going to say New York. I'm not going
to say... Michigan. Oh, it's Chicago. Oh, never
mind. I'm not very good at trail. I would have
guessed LA. Five, please. One, two, three, four,
five. Reroll. Two. Two, please. Dealer's choice.
Whatever colour you need. Okay, a yellow question,
please. Okay, so going back to gossip. Which
pretender married a simple mind and had a baby
by a kink? Jesse Hines? I don't know any other
pretenders. Chrissy Hines. Chrissy Hines, goddammit.
Two, roll again. What's that, a four or a six?
Oh, sorry, a six. One, two, three, four, five,
six. Green, please. Film. Uh -huh. who didn't
discount for the Americas, but did direct Harry
Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Christopher
Columbus? Yay! Okay. I'm sad that I was able
to just have that appear in my brain, because
I can't stand anything from Harry Potter. What
have you got? Two? Reroll. Five. Your choice.
Can I go for green instead, then? Whatever that
is. Film. What nationality is Jim Carrey? Canadian.
Correct. Give yourself a green wedge. Three.
One, two, three. Dealer's choice. I will go for
purple, please. Music. Which Beatles collection
was voted the top album of the millennium? In
1999 TV poll. Fuck me. I know the answer. It's
got a very famous cover. Is it the ones with
them walking across the... No. Or is it... They're
that famous cover. The red and yellow. I'm trying
to... Many, many famous people in it. Sergeant
Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club. No, that wouldn't
have helped. But thank you for trying. I'm trying
to get you some pieces. I know. One more question
each. Six. Can I have an orange question? L 'orange.
Je vis de l 'orange. L 'orange is SG, which is
sports and games. Oh, watch me get this right
as well. How many years would elapse between
the first and last if someone won gold medals
in six consecutive Summer Olympics? Summer Olympics.
Oh, hang on. How many? Six of them. 18? First
and last if someone won gold medals in six consecutive
Summer Olympics. So they're every four years,
aren't they? It's 20 years. I'll do one more
question and then we'll call it quits because
you've won anyway. Is that two? Two. Reroll.
Two. Purple, please. Purple. Purple. Music. Olux.
You may get it. Fatboy Slim. No. Who had a hit
with Tom's Diner? after it had been remixed by
DNA? Buddy Holly. No idea. Suzanne Vega. Oh,
well done, Suzanne Vega. Very, very of its time,
Trivial Pursuit. And most of it from, you know...
Turn of the Century. Would have been appropriate
knowledge in our 20s, but I've been alive too
many years since then to remember all of it.
I'm very happy I've answered a couple right.
I got one right. You got three right. I'm pretty
sure that makes you the winner. Hooray! I pursued
the trivialists to ruin it. I won all the cheese.
Right then. I guess we have made it to Bibliotat.
Made it this far. We have. You might not have,
dear listener, but we have. I have brought a
book of a sort. I picked it up when we were in
a shop together not all that long ago because
I was curious. It was like in a pile of like
anime style graphic novels, mainly because it
had a naked lady on the front of it. I was curious
as to why there was a naked lady in a charity
shop. Definitely get your attention. This cost
me £1 .50. I think it was from Bernardo's in
Schlafly, I'm tempted to say. Oh, they've got
that cabinet next to the counter. Is that the
one? I think so. Anyway, it is the Lunar Brothers
Girls, Volume 1, Conception, £1 .50. I have to
say that I didn't get very far before. I refuse
to read any more. And I really hope that the
initial impression that I've got from this is
outweighed by the ending of the book that I have
not read. So if anybody is familiar with Girls
by the Luna Brothers, it's a sci -fi drama from
imagecomics .com. Now, just describe what's on...
We'll skip the opening page because that's the
inside cover and the credits. So the first actual
page is, please describe. It's a naked lady looking
into rain, hair dangling down over covering her
breasts. Please describe what's on page three.
Looks like a depiction of sperm. Yes. Page four.
Guy having a nice time. Yeah, it looks like there's
a lady in a bra. She's laying in the bed. Smiley
face. And top of the next page. Something being
flushed down the toilet. I can't see that. It
looks like the lady's a picture in a porn mag.
He's at a wank and he's flushing a tissue down
the toilet. Yes, he is having a little clean
up after himself. And then it goes into like.
dark and doomy weird stuff some girl walks into
a shop and then has a weird conversation with
him like oh are you flirting with me and he's
like well i wasn't really trying to and she's
like well you really shouldn't but i'm gonna
be like a fucking cock tease anyway and i'm gonna
leave and tell you you're a cunt um and then
that carries on for a couple of pages he's got
hold of a couple of cantaloupes and he's saying
how ripe they feel blah blah blah blah blah blah
and then he goes into the bar Gets himself into
a bit of a fight because he's a womanizer, right?
This fight continues until he gets kicked out
of the bar. Boom, kicked out of the bar. Bearing
in mind, at this point, there's probably about
100 words in all of the slides, on all of the
pages. So far, it's about 100 words, right? And
it's a naked woman, a guy having a wank over
a magazine, and some woman being a complete tosser
to a guy in a shop who may or may not have been
accidentally flirting with her and then got himself
kicked out of a bar later on because he's a womanizer.
He then ends up like driving off all pissed and
pissed up. And then all of a sudden, like in
a bit of a rage, finds naked woman in the road.
Right. And you can see her boob in that one picture.
Oh, yes. There is actual nipplage. So anyway,
pissed up guy's like, oh, do you need some help?
And she's like, no. What? And then pissed up
guy eventually persuades naked woman to get into
his car. And then as they drive off, two guys
run out of the forest and they're disappointed
because the naked lady got away. And one of the
guys is running around with his dick hanging
out. Right? Is it pixelated? You can't see it,
but it is referenced. And that is as far as I
got in the reading part. Where one bad guy says
to the other bad guy, mate, put your fucking
dick away. And what are we going to do? Generally
good advice. What are we going to do? Because
our rape victim has just been carried off to
safety, right? And then there's like a whole
fucking bunch of rapey shit. weird shit like
didn't read it they're just pictures and like
i don't know if he's dreaming and she's coming
on to him or if she's actually coming on to him
and eventually there's like more women and they
all look the fucking same and what i'm hoping
it is right look see They all just sort of, like,
start turning up like weird aliens. Like, she
kind of give birth to herself and, like, clone.
It's weird. But there's a bunch of women and
they're just, like, attacking everybody. So what
I'm really hoping is that it's, like, some sort
of, like, sweet revenge story where the women
go, you've raped us, so now we're going to come
and cut all your cocks off. Like an army of one.
Yeah, but I got to the bit with the cock hanging
out and I thought, I'm really sorry. I can stop
reading there. I'm really sorry, Mr. Luna Brothers,
but you've... I've gone beyond the end of my
tether. You've lost me there. Very much lost
me to the point where this is also being re -donated.
So I apologise that... Another one for the pile.
I apologise that I have come with a really terrible,
terrible choice of book, but I was so shocked
by the first sort of third of it that I thought,
I can't keep it, but I also need to share the
trauma. If anyone can persuade that it's worth...
Going back to or continuing or finding any other
books in the series or any alternative works
by Lunar Brothers. Yeah. Please advise us one
way or the other. Absolutely. At lightlyused
.co .uk. And if you're a fan of the Lunar Brothers
and you've been after Girls Volume 1 Conception,
drop us an email and I will send it to you with
a middle finger. How's that? No, minus the middle
finger. But no, genuinely, if anybody wants it,
you're welcome to it. But it is going in the
donation pile. Yeah. Deservedly so. I can understand
why. Yeah. Sorry about that. I'm not compelled
to skip to the end either. Sorry. It's the worst,
most depressing bibliotech ever, but I was just
so shocked by it. I needed to share the trauma.
It's the only thing that makes it right. I'm
sorry. Jesus. I'm sorry. Adam's reading the blurb.
Yeah, just to get into the blurb. I don't think
you're... Going to be missing too much. You don't
think I'm misinterpreting? The guide sounds quite
incelly. Oh, dear. This is just in the back of
the book. Talk about selective editing. Very.
From IGN. Surprising. Intriguing. That's two
words and also it's got ellipses between them.
There's a lot. So I'm pretty sure there's...
Dot, dot, dot. Surprising is a separate quote
from intriguing. I don't know if those were in
one description. Yeah. Anyway, read us the blurb,
love. Ethan Daniels is a small -town bachelor
who suffers from one infallible truth. Dealing
with the opposite sex can be complicated. Oh,
God. Jesus. It does sound really incel -y. One
night, he bumps into a beautiful and mysterious
woman who will change his life and maybe even
the world. I was expecting it to be sort of like
your standard anime naked chick. You know, big
boobs, fun, bit of tongue in cheek, nothing to
the extent of non -consensual activities of any
kind. It's not the escapism you're after. No,
it's definitely not a Battle Angel, Alita book,
that's for sure. We made it. Let me just check.
Yes, I did. Spectacles, testicles, wallet and
watch. No, no, just my everything else. I don't
care about that. Yes, it is a new watch. The
watch is there. It is a nice watch. I love the
Casio. Not usually a watch wearer, but I thought
I'd treat myself in the new year. Yeah. See how
long it takes before I forget to wear it. That's
why I'm not a watch wearer. I'll wait for a couple
of weeks. Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm a watch wearer.
I'm a watch wearer. I'll forget to put it on.
Then years of not being a watch wearer. And that's
what I'm used to. So I thought I'll treat myself
to something. As slim as possible. Yeah, it's
lovely. So it's not in the way of not getting
knocked on shit. Thank you very, very much for
listening once again. Thanks for being with us.

on there for YouTube and... It's probably for
the best. That's about it. You're missing out.
typing on the internet other than my blog. Yeah,
