Hello, I have been writing articles and making videos since 2016 about popular culture, media, philosophy, and anything I want to understand more - inform us, educate me, entertain you. “Leigh Spence is Dancing with the Gatekeepers” was the name of the website, and still the name of the game.

How much Tat is too much Tat?
That’s what Paul & Eli have to figure out this week, as they dive in a box of Craptacular items for an epic Price of Sh*te… And my God… There is SO much to price up! Hold Tight!

The Price of Sh*te is back! And to add a little more spice, Paul & Eli go “head to head” in a POS face off edition of the classic tat pricing game. Who will phone it in and cut corners? This episode reveals all!

It’s a slightly different Price of Sh*te this week, as Paul and Eli pit their tat hunting skills against one another to see who truly is the best of the best of the worst!
