Right on, Raggy.
We are in the Soho Radio studios recording this very special episode of Cheap Show.
There's nothing special about this episode.
It's just recorded in Soho.
Very normal.
All right.
Fucking hell.
Because if we say something like that, they'll think Soho Radio is, like, endorsing us or involved.
And then Soho Radio would listen to this and say, oh, they're not recording in this place again
because they're naughty, dirty boys.
All right.
We are in some place in Soho.
Adjacent to Soho Radio Studios in Soho.
And it's time for Cheap Show.
It's the comedy economy podcast for your ears.
It's not.
Is it, though?
What isn't it?
It's the economy comedy podcast for your ears.
You said comedy economy, and it doesn't quite have the right...
I actually think it sounds better.

Right. And there's one called Lion King.
Has the Moominland got anything to do with Moomins?
No, it sells a huge range of
cigarette papers. And does the Lion King
have anything to do with a Disney film with the same name?
No, it's a corner shop. Welcome to Cheap Show.
I hate you and your fucking
noodle posse.

It's a fact of cheap show, you're gonna have to fucking reset.

That's VD.
It's not.
Crabs is VD.
All right.
Stop.
You're tying yourself in tongue-tied circles, mate.
You're tying yourself up with your tongue.
You're tying yourself up with your tongue.
It's very interesting, isn't it, that you're quick to criticise,
and then you fumble over the words yourself like a fat-mouthed prat.
I am not fat-mouthed.
You are.
I am so not.
You're a fat-mouthed, chubby-fingered, wretched...
Don't start in the hands.

Guess the Tat.
Oh, so what are the parameters
of the rules?
I have, Paul,
in my bag today
a piece of tat.
Right.
I've bought this.
Yeah.
And it's a thing.
Right.
And you
asking questions
that can only be answered
yes or no.
So like 20 questions?
Yeah.
So it's 20 questions.
Yes, but it's called Guess the Tat.
Okay.
I mean, fundamentally, I have no problems with the game.
Well, good.
So here we go then.
Let it commence!
Here we go.
First question!
You've got to keep track of the number of questions, all right?
How many did you get?
20 usually, don't you?
That's why I said, is this a rip-off of 20 questions?
How many questions did you get to ask?
Oh, just three?
Well, I don't think we should do 20.
All right, how many?
17.
Why?
It's a good number.
It's not.
What's popular at 17?
What's a good...
Just 17 magazine?
That's good.
East 17, the band?
That's good as well.
Actually, on reflection,
there's a one or two
that come to mind.
Yeah.
Sweet 17?
No, that's Sweet 16.
Stalag 17?
Stalag 17.
I don't know.
That's not right, is it? It's not called Stalag 17. What is it? What are you talking about? It's a film, isn't 17? Stalag 17? I don't know, that's not right, is it?
It's not called Stalag 17.
What is it?
What are you talking about?
It's a film, isn't it?
Stalag 20... I don't know.
So, first question.
Right, okay.
Guess the tat.
Yes or no only.
Can you fit it in a shoebox?
Yes.
Right.
Is it made of plastic?
Yes.
I hate this game already. can you stick it up your ass
it would be painful has it got is it angular yes is this thing in your bag shit oh yeah
is it porcelain does it is it just what you look at purely decorative is it edible? No.
It's good, though.
I hate this game. This is awful, this game.
It's good.
It's awful because you're making it awful.
It's awful because all I get to do is ask pointless questions and you just say yes or no.
It's not a very fun game, is it?
Yes.
No.
Come on, you're almost there.
All right, is it...
Just remember what we've got so far.
It's small.
It's plastic. It's plastic.
It doesn't have a function.
Yeah.
Is it decorative?
Yes.
Right.
Is it a statuette of something?
Yes.
Is it a statuette of something in gaming?
Yeah, it's associated.
No, it's not a specific gaming title.
Okay.
But it's associated with certain types of games.
Oh, God.
Is it...
Oh, that's made things actually more complicated.
It's a statuette
which is enclosed
in some way.
Is it something...
Is it a porcelain statue
based on a recognised
public property?
No, it's not a property,
but it's a creature
which is in lots of stuff.
A mythical creature.
Is it a dragon?
Yes!
What kind of dragon? A red dragon? No, no. What kind of object is it? Now, creature. Is it a dragon? Yes! What kind of dragon?
A red dragon?
No, no.
What kind of object is it?
Now we know it's a dragon.
It's a dragon in a snow globe.
Yes!
Because you said it was enclosed.
There we go!
This game's brilliant!
It's not!
I zoned out of our own show.
Check out this dragon I've got, mate.
I'm getting it out now.
While you're doing that,
then I'm going to...
Here it is, look!
Alright.
It's a sparkle globe with a dragon in it.
Oh, it is. It's a pretty dragon, isn't it?
Look at him.
He's an ice dragon, though.
He's an ice dragon.
And the base of the ball
is also crystals.
It's like the Fortress of Solitude
from Spider-Man.
It's Spider's Man. Spider's Superman. It's Spider's Man.
Spider's Man?
Yeah, Spider's Man.
Spider's Man.
He has a collection of spiders in his spider van.
Oh, no.
He's got Spider's Man.
Spider's Man.
Spider's Man.
He's not a man with a spider, you know, capabilities.
No, he just has a large bunch of spiders.
Yeah.
Spider's Man.
Spider's Man.
Got kicked out of his camper van.
Too many spiders.
Not enough dogs.
Oh, no.
I don't know.
We'll go with that.
He's an enemy.
Dogs man.
Yeah.
Dogs man usually wins.
And cats man.
And there's also sardines man.
Yeah.
He's always good in a tight situation.
That's good.
I thought you'd get one
for me next time
alright
guess the tack
you did quite well there
that's a lovely bit
how much was that
can I ask
two
two quid
oh it's alright
there were two
I got it in New Crossgate
the other day
good charity shopping
down there
yeah
New Crossgate
yeah
oh I'll have to investigate it
I went to Pinner
recently
and I had a nice
collection of charity shops
there that I found one or two bargains.
And Pinna's quite close to where you live in Harrow.
Yeah, Harrow.
Oh, Harrow.
Right, so I asked the Cheap Show audience, ask Cheap Show, hashtag.
So should we go through some?
It used to be Ask Silverman.
Yeah, but you want in on it, don't you?
You can suck my fat twat.
Gee.
Right, hang on. I'm looking for
the questions because there's been a few.
Hit me. Ow. Hit me
with questions I meant. Also someone
got in touch to say they are flexi discs
are on the comeback.
NPR did a documentary or something recently about
flexi discs and how they're becoming
trendy. They are. Like most things.
I went to a poundland the other day and
they're selling rolls of film for cameras and cassettes. Blank. Like most things. I went to a Poundland the other day and they're selling rolls of film
for cameras and cassettes.
Blank cassettes. Crazy.
It's all coming back.
It's weird, isn't it? The physical formats.
It's because people are bored.
It's just lifeless,
isn't it? If everything's just a
file. Everything's just a file
these days. Right, here we go. Here are the
questions. Ask Cheap Show. If you want. Here are the questions. Ask Cheap Show.
If you ever want to
ask us something,
hashtag Ask Cheap
Show.
Or ask Silverman.
Yeah.
Which is perfectly
serviceable.
Shut it.
Tiger Mac Zed says,
if I cut off my
hands and eat them,
would I be breaking
the law?
What?
Not the strongest
start.
How would you cut
your hands off?
Well, you could do it with a machine, couldn't you?
What, like some kind of guillotine-y thing that you can just...
Yeah, you just put your hands in the guillotine, chop-chop.
Well then...
Chop-chop, and then you use the stumps to bring it to your mouth.
Perhaps you've got a pot of boiling water on the other side of the guillotine.
Yeah.
So they soften a bit before you eat them.
So they plop into the water.
Yeah.
And then what?
But you can't pick them up.
Who is this weirdo?
I don't know.
I shan't be asking
any more questions from him.
Right.
It's probably not against the law.
Rhiannon says,
I know you want to do
more live shows,
but have you got any idea
of when they're likely to be?
No.
Sorry.
At the moment,
it's just digitized alive
and then we'll figure out.
It's just because
even though we're
reasonably popular
as a podcast,
we're not huge.
And so it's harder for us to kind of justify all the travel and costs to get to some places and put on live shows.
So we want to do it.
But for instance, I got in touch with a few live comedy agencies a little while ago and said,
Hey, we're a podcast.
We do this.
We're looking to help get live shows.
And they all went, What?
You're on the telly?
No.
Ah.
And that was kind of their reply.
Apart from one guy did get in touch, and he was very interested.
And even though he couldn't help us, he did give us lots of advice
and said he would all be happy to help in the future.
So it's not all shit in the comedy industry.
But the plan is more live shows.
I mean, we had a lot of fun doing it.
Do you know what I was thinking we could do?
And this is just me speculating right now.
It's not a plan.
It's not going to happen.
But I thought we could do for Christmas a comedy show.
But make Dewey do a live panto.
Fucking hell.
Maybe.
Richard Brando?
No.
What do you mean, no?
No.
Of course, he must be involved.
He has to be involved.
All right.
And he has to have a line.
Right now, I insist.
I want it in the contract.
Brando appears, and he has this line.
Spoff my broth off.
Richard Brandoff must say spoff my broth off.
Is it in his rider?
Yeah.
No, not in his rider.
How would you have a line in your rider?
Because he might say, I won't do the show unless I say my line.
Yeah.
That's kind of a rider, isn't it?
No, the rider is always
food and drink,
which is provided backstage.
So do you know what
Richard Brando's rider is?
Is it two women
he can spank and belittle?
How did you guess that?
Because you're a horrible
human being with a
horrible character.
I am.
Yeah.
Don't blame me
for the personality
of something that
was born from me.
Right, so don't blame you
for you,
is what you're basically saying.
No, I'm not.
If a lady has a child,
and the child ends up as a criminal,
do you blame her?
Yes.
You do?
Because she should have been a better mother.
Is that...
Oh.
I don't know.
Well then,
spoff my broth off.
That could be the name of the panto.
No, it's not.
We're not going to call...
No.
I insist.
No.
Rename cheap show, spoff my panto. No, it's not. We're not going to call... No. I insist. No. Rename cheap show
Spoff My Broth Off.
No.
If that ever happens,
I'm going to kill you.
I've got an idea
for how the plot could go.
Richard Brando...
Shouldn't have fucking mentioned this.
I just wanted to ask a few questions.
He goes into a brothel.
Yeah?
Yeah.
And then he has some soup.
Right.
And he wanks into the soup.
That's not anything like a panto.
Then he could say something like,
oh, I've spoffed my knob off
into this broth off in this brothel.
Fucking hell.
Spoff me broth off.
Where's me spoff gone?
It's behind you.
Ruff, ruff, ruff.
Anything else?
Yes, more live shows, please.
Yes, but we haven't got any concrete plans.
We haven't got any plans so far.
Voroton Tony asks, what music y'all listen to lately? shows yeah yes but we haven't got any concrete we haven't got any plans so far for a ton tony
asks what music y'all listen to lately i need recommendations anything new that you've been
listening to i buy records so it's hard to just list a bunch of disparate discs you know i've
been listening to a lot of 10cc recently love 10cc and a little bit of steely dan love steely dan i'm
kind of going through a weird period right now where I'm listening to a lot of like 70s,
it's not middle of the road, is it?
But what would you call like that kind of laid back piano, like, you know, Oreo speed
wagon kind of stuff?
Well, it is AOR.
AOR.
Generally.
But I mean, Steely Dan is like high class AOR.
Yeah.
I've been listening to a lot of that.
Anyway, a lot of mellow Americana kind of 70s music.
Nice.
And a lot of Blur. I've been listening to a lot of Blllow americana kind of 70s music nice and a lot of blur i've been listening
to a lot of blur albums over and over recently i've been listening to the four seasons oh that
must take you a whole year right look at me
why this is weird yeah it is it's weird doing it in the studio. I don't like it.
I'm looking out into the street and everyone's staring in.
Yeah.
People think we're weird because I just went, really?
I've got a knob off to prof my stuff off.
You know what?
They're looking in going, what are they talking about?
You know, music, reggae.
Reggae?
I don't know.
You were talking about reggae before on your Soho radio show, so it just jumped into my head.
They think, oh, they're doing a radio show.
But actually, we're dirty boys saying rude words.
Indeed.
Right.
Let's race through these.
Whatever we miss out, we'll probably answer in a Patreon stuff or something in the future.
Who's the better looking out of the two of you, says the Flated Fruit.
I don't like that question.
Because I know a lot of women find me ugly and you attractive and vice versa.
So it's eye of the beholder, Paul. Any a goal in it any holes a goal well i wouldn't go
that far i would actually i'm you know what the older i get the more i just realize i'm a dirty
filthy man oh yeah just a sexually filthy man wake up to yourself oh i'm very woke to myself
don't you worry oh yeah i'm getting very much in touch with myself oh yeah how by spoffing off
and your broth off
yeah I will
dress up as Richard Brandoff
go into fucking
I don't know
yo sushi
and spoff in their sushi
I'm Richard Brandoff
I've got my top off
and I'm spoffing
into your broth off
in a brothel

hoff

Chris Clay says
what's the one thing you would like to do before you die?
Trivial or otherwise?
Bucket list then for us.
Basically, yeah.
What's on your bucket list?
I haven't never done a skydive.
I'd like to do that.
Would you really?
Yeah.
I would not ever do that.
Fair enough.
What else?
Too much fear.
I'd like to spend the night at the East State Penitentiary
or whatever it is.
It's like a very haunted,
allegedly haunted place in America that loads of the ghost haunting
shows have been to.
And I'd like to just go there for the night.
I'd like to visit Japan.
Oh, fair enough.
Yeah.
And just for any particular reason.
I'd like to see Tokyo.
Yeah.
Just because, well, I love a lot of aspects of their culture.
The young women who look like boys.
My first girl.
Whoa. Whoa. aspects of their culture. The young women who look like boys. My first girl... Whoa!
My first girlfriend was Japanese, as we've
been through this. So you have a longing for that
aesthetic. No, I
like the food. Yeah, I bet you do.
I like cities.
He likes cities. That doesn't narrow it
down, does it? Tokyo's one of the big ones, isn't it?
And he wants to get sexy. I'd like to go to Japan
before I die. What else? I'd like to go to Japan before I die.
What else?
I'd like to smoke DMT before I die.
Okay, great.
What else?
I'd like to
probably have a coffee enema.
Go on, now you do.
You stand up about that,
don't you?
Go on, do your stand up
about that.
I'm not going to do
my fucking stand up.
Ladies and gentlemen,
he wanted a bit of stand up
about coffee enemas
and it was very funny.
Let's do it now.
Ladies and gentlemen,
doing some stand up
on Cheap Show,
it's our special guest,
Eli Silverman.
Hello.
So, I'm half Jewish. Boo!
What a shit.
I'm half Jewish and half Christian.
So, you know, my parents didn't get on.
That's not your stand-up.
Yeah.
I'm not fucking doing my stand-up for you.
Do that bit about the coffee.
Do about the coffee.
No.
Do it.
No, it's not about coffee.
It's about ketamine.
It's the same difference.
It started as something about ketamine.
Yeah.
And then it was about that.
And then it ended with the line, grande arse wash or something.
Yes, it did.
It's good.
It's a good line.
You should do it.
I'll do it on the drugs episode.
When's that coming?
Oh, we should do that soon.
Maybe when I get back from LA.
I just realized, unlike the sex episode where we both had something to say, in the drugs episode
it's just going to be
basically me listing
the various drugs
I've done.
Yeah,
then you say,
I did a mushroom once.
Did you?
Yeah.
Ooh.
I never really got on
with them.
Never really enjoyed it.
No?
Nah.
Never got the,
oh man,
just kind of felt
a little bit buzzed out.
You probably didn't
do enough.
Maybe.
Got to scoff them.
And I have injected
raw heroin into the tip of my cock. No you haven't. I have. Doing it didn't do enough. Maybe. Got to scoff them. And I have injected raw heroin
into the tip of my cock.
No, you haven't.

Come on, Mark.
A couple more.
No, one more.
A couple more.
One more.
Paul, do I have any more
paranormal stories
from behind the scenes?
I do, but I'm going to save them

Oh, yeah?

So I've got three objects.
I bought them from various charity shops in the northwest of London.
Ooh.
Pinner.
Hatch end.
Harrow.
All the world.
And I'm going to bring them out one by one
now
although it's not mandatory
you don't have to
you don't have to
guess the prices
but we can do that afterwards
all I need you to do is
do I get an extra
no this is the way the game is played Paul
right
with this format
with this format
what we know
is known as the live
which is now the live
can you not do that
can you not do that
honestly
is that what is that what this has fucking come down to?
Right, finished?
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
As is our want, the live version.
Stop making a noise.
The live version of The Price of Shy is where we arrange the items by price in a big row.
We'll do that today, but when we...
Stop, please.
You've dropped me stuff, haven't I?
But there's six points available, basically.
Yeah.
There are three items, yeah?
Three items.
So there's six points available.
Each item I get in the right order in terms of pricing.
And, no, there's nine points available in total.
Oh, God.
So just put them in the right order and let's do the fucking show.
If I get them all in the right order, that's three points.
If I guess the price within 50p, is it 25p or 50p?
I think we do 50p for these because they're bigger prices.
Within 50p, then I get another point for that.
And then each one, if I get it on the nose,
I get two points.
So, there are possibly,
if I got everyone,
I'm guessing the exact price of each one,
and I got them in the right order,
that would be two points for two times three,
six, plus another three,
nine points.
Nine points available.
Are you ready
yeah
well I'm glad
you know someone's
thinking about the rules
yeah I know
that's the problem though
you think about the rules
and I'm thinking about
the raw energy
of the segment
the excitement
the banter
why don't you get
some fucking wine out
that seems to be
the only way I can deal with it
get some booze out
you know
get a fucking bottle of vodka
just down it
before they do the recording, Paul.
It's the only way you can look at me.
It's the only way you can deal with me.
Can't you deal with me?
I'm here.
Deal with me.
I'm here.
Shut up.
Come on.
It's the price of shite, and that's right.
Right.
Here we go.
So I've got three items.
Now, they're a bit more costly than usual.
So, oh, I am a liar.
One of the items I got off the internet right
you got it off the internet yeah are you going to tell me the origin of these items yeah uh
yeah yeah because that's part of the whole process all right are you ready for your first item i'm
ready i'll just i'll show you it first and then i'll give you the backup information once you've
given it a perusal okay hand it over i'm just going to show it to the camera first. Here is what we're looking at.
All right?
Ooh.
What is it?
It looks like a Plinketto game.
Kind of.
It's a black sort of plastic box thing
with red plastic panels in it.
Yeah.
And these are drawers.
It has two drawers at the back.
And it has little...
Like a Plinketto, if you imagine the... Is that what it's called? Planchetto? Pachinko. Pachinko. and it has little like a
Plinketto, if you imagine, is that what it's called?
Planchetto? Pachinko.
Pachinko. Plinketto is the
red letter media version.
Planchetto.
No, you know what? Planchette
is the thing on a Ouija board.
This is a
I can't remember the fucking word now, it's because I've scrambled it.
Pachinko. Pinchenko.
Whatever, the Japanese sort of pinball style game where you put This is a... I can't remember the fucking word now. It's because I've scrambled it. Pichenko. Pichenko.
Whatever.
The Japanese sort of pinball style game where you put a coin or a ball into the top
and there's little obstacles vertically down
which they bounce off
and it can go into one of two separate drawers
at the bottom.
This is a strange item, Paul.
Yeah.
Did it come with anything we can use?
Or do you use coins?
Let me see if I've got it.
It comes with these.
Okay.
What do you see?
What do you see?
Oh, fuck it, though.
What?
So, these are stickers that you can put onto the drawers.
So, this is like an eight ball meets a plinketto.
It's more like a pinchenko Meets a money box
Ah
So you put a coin
In the top
And it
Randomly bounces off
All the pegs
Bintzy bintzy bintzy
Yeah
It bounces off the pegs
And it can go into
One of two drawers
Yeah
And you decide
What the money
You can put
These stickers here
Have round
Trip to the moon
That's obviously facetious
Yeah
One way bus ticket
Out of here
These are all not real
They're just facetious.
No, I know,
but they're larger
in terms of my love.
A weekend with my posse.
Those are real things.
They're realistic.
A car.
Yeah.
A sports car.
I don't think you're
going to get enough money
in a draw to afford
either of those cars.
Give to charity
or me, me, me.
So you can put these
stickers on one of the
two draws, I'm assuming,
and then you put the
coin in and it goes
into one of the two
draws.
Clinky clanky clinky
clanky.
So randomly you support
and there are also
some blank stickers
for your own
so you could put
pay for VD cream
yeah yeah
or
VD cream
or whatever you might
need to save money for
or Mr Mouse's
blackmail money
yes
because Mr Mouse
knows stuff about me
and I gotta pay him off
what did you do to Mr Mouse
no he knows stuff
that I've done
you shoved him up
you bam bam'd him
no I haven't
Mr Mouse has just you've put rodents up your, he knows stuff that I've done. You shoved him up your bum bum, didn't you? No, I haven't. Mr Mouse has just seen what I've done.
You've put rodents up your arse.
We all know.
I haven't put a super rodent up my arse.
You have.
You get extra thick Trojan condoms.
Super, super strength.
What?
Right.
Can you carry on with this
while I stare at the child behind you
looking through the window?
So can you carry on telling me
about how I like to stick things up my arse?
Super strength condoms.
Yeah.
And you get rodents.
Yeah.
You buy them off pet shops.
And waving at the kid
and the mum
who's dragging the kid away now.
Like, fair enough.
And you fucking
get them all rolled up.
You go,
oh, you do little impressions.
You go,
oh, you little fucking mouse.
You're a fucking dick,
you little mouse.
Then you shove it
right up there.
You go,
oh, oh, oh.
And it gets you off. Comedy stylings of, oh, oh! And it gets you off.
It gets you right off.
Comedy stylings of Eli Silverman there.
It gets you right off.
Yeah, we call it gearing.
Is that what it's called?
No!
I was talking about Richard Gere, wasn't I?
Oh, Gere, yes.
Because of the whole gearing.
That's a myth, isn't it?
Yeah, but never out of the train.
Of course it didn't.
So, there you go.
There's your first item.
What?
That's why you're in black.
No, I don't do it, otherwise I'd call it gathering.
Well, why did you say Mr. Mouse?
What's all this Mr. Mouse?
Mr. Mouse is a pseudonym for a man who's blackmailing me because he knows all my dark secrets.
Like what?
I'm not going to fucking tell you on my podcast, am I?
Or maybe I should, and then he's got nothing on me.
Shall I give this go?
All right.
I want...
Oh, my God.
I didn't.
I did not, Governor. Right. Shall I try? See how well this works, Paul? Yeah, my God. I didn't. I did not, Governor.
Right, shall I try?
See how well this works, Paul?
Yeah, go on.
Have you got money in your pocket?
That's rare, isn't it, ladies and gentlemen?
You know what one of the most tired tropes of this whole fucking show is, Paul?
What?
You going, Eli's always borrowing money.
When was the last time I borrowed money from you?
A couple of weeks ago. No, I don't. Yeah. I'm not like that. Anyway, here we go. I'm holding
it up for the camera, Paul. Yeah. I'll hold it. It won't go in. What do you mean it won't
go in? It won't fit. A pound coin won't fit in that slot. Well, maybe it's not for pound
coins. Maybe it's for... Fucking hell, you're never going to... Oh, hang on. Nothing will
get in that hole. Oh, no. Maybe like a 50p, a 5p. A 10p? 10p should be fine.
This is a terrible item.
It's not.
It's just bounced down.
Go on.
What hole's it gone in?
One's gone in both.
So I now have 11p in this.
Give it back to me.
No, it's definitely mine.
Okay, so that's my first item.
I'm not going to say how much I think that costs until I see the other two.
That's all you need to know.
Here is your second item.
Now, do you want me to tell you where it came from, or do you want to do that information later?
No, tell me where that came from.
That came from Tiger, near the store Tiger.
Ah, so that's a new item.
Yeah.
Okay.
Here we go.
It's terrible.
I don't think it's very good.
I'll wait to get a clue to the next fucking one.
All right.
Here we go.
Say what you see.
I'm going to show it to the camera now, but we'll show it again in a little while.
What's that?
Ah, it's a smartphone projector.
Yeah.
Cardboard?
Yeah.
Okay, we're going to open this up.
He's opening it up.
It's a card phone.
Oh.
Oh, there's two vinyl in there
by accident,
but they're the stuff
I picked up recently
and I forgot to get.
Tell her about it
by Billy Joel.
Love that song.
Yeah, I know.
I just thought that.
And Stutter Rap.
By Morris Minor and the Majors.
No Sleep Till Bedtime.
Yeah, because I've never heard
the B-side,
so that's why I got that
for the B-side.
Well, we're going to do
a comedy rap
as a section.
Yeah, in a future episode.
So we're going to need that
for that.
Bank that.
Yeah, bank that.
Now, let's put that aside.
I'm getting out the...
The item itself.
Which is a smartphone projector, yeah?
Yeah.
So this is meant to be
for watching movies, YouTube videos.
You put your phone in it, and then you can use it to cast your phone onto...
And there is actually quite a heavy piece of glass, a lens in here.
Yeah, which you stick in the front.
You stick in there.
Like that.
Pretty much, yeah.
And then you put your phone at the back.
Yeah.
And it's a sticky pad at the back for your phone.
It's like a weird plastic that keeps the phone to the thing.
Now, there's no
electronic components to this.
There's no wiring.
There's nothing else.
It's just cardboard
and a glass lens.
And that's how you focus
by adjusting the...
There's a drawer.
Retractable.
That you pull out
like that, yeah.
Now, so when I got this,
I was kind of like,
this is a bit of fun, isn't it?
It looks nice.
It's got leather finish.
Well, it's cardboard,
but it's like fake leather. Let me just... The problem is, here's one of the major flaws. Now, obviously't it? It looks nice. It's got leather finish. Well, it's cardboard, but it's like fake leather.
The problem is, here's one of the major flaws.
Now, obviously, it's not going to work that well in a lit studio like we've got in,
but you're meant to just put it in here like that.
Yeah, I see.
Raise it up.
Not all the way, because otherwise it will fall off.
And then in a very, very dark room, you can adjust it to make,
so you can cast it on the thing.
Does it work?
No!
It doesn't work it it works to the
extent where if you if you don't mind looking at something at the size of a postcard on the
size of a wall that's basically the size of the screen exactly so you may just like just have it
in your hand where it's near to your face and in sharp focus and in high definition as opposed to
the misty washed out colors of yeah it's a bullshit novelty item for idiots to buy.
I mean, people were saying,
oh, you can use it in a tent if you go camping.
You can project it onto the side of the tent.
I doubt you'd get it dark enough for it to be effective.
You could just look at your phone in a tent.
Just look at your phone.
Why are you looking at your phone if you're in a tent anyway?
You should be enjoying the great outdoors.
Well, I'm saying if you're doing a festival
and you want to watch Stage 7 on iPlayer
because you can't reach it
because you're at the festival
and you could maybe
cast it onto the side
of your tent
and have like an
in situ,
like, you know,
like a kind of festival
within a festival
and everyone hangs around
your tent and goes,
Paul, you're the coolest.
And I go, yeah, I know.
Do you want some drinks?
Yeah, I've got tea.
I've got coffee.
You don't have tea or coffee.
How do you have tea
or coffee in a tent?
I've got one of those
hot packs.
Hot packs? Of tea. A hot pack of tea I've got one of those hot packs. Hot packs?
Of tea.
A hot pack of tea.
I've heard of those.
Yeah.
And that's a real thing.
And everyone goes, Paul, you're so trendy with your cardboard projector in your phone
allowing us all to watch Stage 7 at the festival we're at when we can't access it.
Now.
It's like we're right there.
That's what happens in my head.
Now, I know how much these roughly are new, I believe.
Yeah.
But is this a second-hand item?
This is definitely second-hand.
This was in a charity shop, was it? Otherwise, to be fair, I would never buy one. believe but is this a second hand item this is definitely second hand this was in a charity shop
otherwise to be fair
I would never buy one
no
it's a charity shop item
yeah
yeah
okay
what charity shop
that was a Dr. Monardo's
in Pinner
where I recently picked up
now album one
oh yes
that's good
you found now
now number one
in Goodnick
very
pristine
not pristine
but in Goodnick
okay
but you know and it saves me spending £30 on a repressing that they brought out recently yeah fuck off mate found Now Number One. In Good Nick? Very. Pristine. Not pristine, but in Good Nick. Okay.
But you know,
and it saves me spending £30 on a repressing
that they brought out recently.
Fuck off, mate.
What's the first track
on side one of Now One?
It is, I believe,
a Phil Collins song
and I can't remember
what it is right now.
Hear it coming in the air tonight?
Maybe.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Su Su Studio?
Nah, that'd be wicked.
I fucking love that song.
Everyone does.
Everyone loves Su Studio.
Can I just say this?
I've said it before,
but it's true.
The pop video to that song, it's confusing.
What happens in the pop video?
She's Russian.
She's a Russian.
She's got a big muff.
No, no.
She's got a big muff on.
No, I don't know what you're thinking about,
but it's absolutely nothing like the video to Susudio.
It's got a big hairy hat muff.
It starts off, camera outside on a London street,
looking at a dingy East End pub, right?
And then the camera goes in,
and there's a bunch of people really upset and not interested looking at their pints and stuff like that meanwhile phil collins
this band has just finished their last song of the night and they're like a pickup band just
in the pub and everyone's like oh phil collins is shit and this is whole this whole thing so
they're not interested the band hasn't done and then he goes all right let's do susudio see if
they like that and then it's... And then he goes into it.
And then everyone slowly over the course of the song goes,
yeah!
They get into it.
Yeah.
And then there's a whole band on there
and it's wicked.
I like that.
It's great.
But the problem is,
it proposes that Phil Collins
took his band to a nightclub,
did a whole night of songs that were awful,
which no one liked,
but at the end,
all he got was the studio.
But that's a bit like,
it's sort of parallel to his actual career,
where everyone hates all of his stuff
apart from actually the studio.
Yeah, maybe you're right then.
Yeah, maybe you're right.
But anyway,
so that's the second item.
This is what it looks like up close,
camera person.
There you go.
My first experience of Phil Collins
was when he covered this... Mys come shut up christ one week without without this nonsense
it's been one week without this nonsense oh dear can't get over it uh it's uh you can't hurry love
it's diana ross song oh it might have been that, actually. He did...
Yeah, that seems to fit.
That was one of his early, early hits.
Yeah, so...
Okay, so how much is one of these brand new?
I think they're around £12 brand new.
I think I've seen them more costly than that in some places.
Really?
20.
But even so, whatever it is you're paying, it's not worth it.
It's bullshit.
It's all just...
It's pure novelty shit, isn't it? Yeah, it is. So, it's not worth it. It's bullshit. It's all just pure novelty shit, isn't it?
Yeah, it is.
So, that's the second item.
I think that was cheaper.
I'm just going to say, I think that was cheaper than...
Phil Collins' You Can't Hurry Love is the first track on Now One.
Oh, there you go.
And then it's Duran Duran, Is There Something I Should Know?
Yes, there is.
There is Duran Duran.
There is something you should know.
Yeah?
You're shit.
No, they're all right.
They are not all right.
Wow, boys.
I'm sick of this.
Wow, boys.
I'm sick of this Duran Duran apologist.
Reflex.
Flex.
Flex.
I don't like, I just don't like them.
White lines.
That is not.
That's not theirs, but they did a good cover of it.
They did not do a good cover of it.
Yeah, they did.
They fucking did it. In an ordinary world. I hate that as well. It's not theirs, but they did a good cover of it. They did not do a good cover of it. No, they did. They fucking did it.
In his ordinary world.
I hate that as well.
It's an ordinary world.
It's an ordinary world.
Don't come to me with Duran Duran.
The last song on Now One, the very last song, is Genesis, that's all.
Oh, so Phil Collins starts and finishes.
Tops and tails it.
Tops and tails it.
There you go.
He was hugely popular, wasn't he?
He was.
And he made the suit and sneaker combo popular.
That's your second item.
Here's your third and final.
What are we going to refer to the Plinketto thing as?
Just call it Moneybox.
The Moneybox.
Moneybox projector.
And here's your third and final one.
Okay.
I want you to hold on to your bollocks.
I've got my bollocks cupped, nestled.
Oh, mate!
Look at that.
It's fucking hell, man.
Yeah.
It's a Tommy Yeag.
Yeah, Tommy Yeag.
That's Yeag.
Yeag.
There we go.
Just going to put that there for the camera so you can see.
It's a Tony Yeag.
Yeah.
So, we've got, what was the one you bought?
I bought.
Wow.
No.
Ah.
But I got you. Wow. I've got, what was the one you bought? I bought... Wow. No, ah!
But I got you.
Wow.
I've got the wow.
Which is currently covered in his room in dust.
Well, I haven't had a go at the wow.
And sauce.
It's got pride of place next to the pickle mound, drug paraphernalia, and sauces.
There's no pickle mound.
There should be. The pickle.
I'm getting this out.
Paul, I love this.
Now, I will tell you, I'll be honest, this is the one I got online.
But I will say this, it sold cheaply.
How cheap? I'm not going to say.
But it sold cheaply because it doesn't work at the moment.
What's the problem with it?
There's something wrong with the power or something.
So when you turn it on, it doesn't do anything.
The buttons work, so theoretically it's just about getting it to work somehow. Somehow rewire it or something. So when you turn it on, it doesn't do anything. The buttons work, so theoretically,
it's just about getting it to work somehow.
Somehow rewire it or something.
Which I think is doable.
I think even I, with a solder, can probably sort that out.
Anyway, that's it.
I bought it because I wanted it.
It's in good nick apart from that,
and you've got the box as well.
Yeah.
I love these things.
I love these things.
It's basically Tomy trying to compete
with the early computer game market, video game market, isn't it?
You're right.
I hadn't thought about it like that before.
But it's equivalent of basically like playing Donkey Kong.
Yeah.
It's got that same kind of, it's about reflex and it's about obstacles and it's about...
You know, you're right.
I never thought about it that way.
But it's almost like a kind of physical platform game.
Yeah.
Literally is.
This is great.
I love the colour. It's beautiful is great. I love the colour.
It's beautiful as well.
I love the colours.
Now, is that all three?
That's all three.
We've covered all three of them.
I wonder what that's known as,
the Tomy exclamation series or something.
I don't know because Tomy...
Because you've got wow, argh,
and what's this?
Yeah!
All sounds I make when I cum.
Urgh!
Yeah!
Wow.
In that order.
But Tomy, I love Tomy made tiny little ones of these that I used to have as well.
Like tiny little wind-up toys.
Yes.
Half the, quarter of the size of this.
And they also made the famous water games.
You know, where you had to pump the water and you used to make a baseball go into the net or whatever.
And they also did, they did like trucks and stuff as well, didn't they?
Very well known for robust toys.
They're still making toys today.
I think they're great.
I think they're great.
For me, this is their golden era, the 80s, early 90s,
when you're making these really ornate,
lovely little kind of activity pinball game things.
Brilliant.
Oh, that's really lovely.
Lovely to see that, Paul.
Lovely to see that completed.
Now, do you think you'll be able to get it fixed?
I'm going to try to.
I'm going to try and be
a bit more kind of
fixer-upper,
makey DIY-y this year
because I've got a ukulele
that is a build-your-own
ukulele that I want to do.
I'm going to make a video
about that for YouTube, actually.
But, yeah,
apparently with this one
you have multiple bowls
going at the same time
and the idea is to get
as many as you can
before the timer runs out
at the goal.
There's little skulls
and crossbones.
Yeah, it's nice, isn't it?
Yeah, it's really nice.
It's similar to the
Kong Tomy thing
that we did on Barsians.
And that didn't have
a power supply problem
as well, didn't it?
He had to have
an external sort of
battery pack
completely re-gut
all the wiring to fix it.
So maybe you're going to
have to do something like that.
Maybe.
But there is also
a pocket version
of that Kong one.
So it comes in
like a keychain size
and it's just a wind up
I'm going to look out for that
so cool
I love my wow
wow
ya
raw
now
this was online
the Tomy
the Jörg
was online
yeah
smartphone
what was the
just for
that was a charity shop
in Pinner
I think it was
I think it was
Barnardo's
Barnardo's
yeah
and then finally
this was in
mint on card this is Tiger say this was in Mint on card.
This is Tiger.
Say mint on card.
Mint on card.
Thank you.
Even though it
wasn't on card.
There's no card.
It wasn't even a box.
So there you go.
I need you to rank them now
from cheapest
to most expensive.
So what do you think
is the cheapest
out of all of these?
I think the smartphone
projector is probably
the cheapest item.
Yeah?
Yes.
Okay.
What next?
Now, this doesn't work, but I know that these games go
from... Am I right in thinking that
in working order online, these
Tomy games go for
in the region of £25-£30?
Depending on what it is and what condition they're in,
yeah. Yeah. So, but this
was broken. But I will say, it's nowhere near
those prices. No, I know.
It's cheap enough for me to use it in this segment, put it that way, without feeling guilty.
Right, so I don't think any of these items were more than sort of fiver.
Okay.
I'd stick within that ballpark.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, I...
Look at us taking a game seriously, ladies and gentlemen.
I haven't said content ages.
Well, you have now.
So, I think maybe the...
And prat.
And clunge.
I like the word clunge.
Anyway, go on.
What other words do you like?
Spatch cock.
Spatch cock's a good one, isn't it?
Poppy cock.
Lots of cock words.
What other cock words have you got?
I like...
Fishy fanny.
Oh, come on, man.
I don't know.
Come on, Paul.
I like respectable.
Look, we're in a professional studio here.
Let's just lift it.
Let's lift our game.
Let's lift the broadcast quality of our show.
I spunked it in your mouth when you were looking for your toothpaste.
I put it in your toothpaste and you washed my gob with jizz.
Don't queef on me when I'm sleeping.
Don't queef on me when I'm sleeping. Don't queef on me when I'm sleeping.
Don't queef on me when I'm sleeping.
Because I don't want a mouth full of discharge.
Yeah.
And all our hits will be out on the Cheap Show album at the end of the year.
Right.
So what's next?
You've said the projector is the cheapest.
I think, now you're not including the postage.
No, no, no, no.
Just what I bought, what
it was labelled as when I pressed pay.
I think this could be the most expensive
item. Okay. Yeah.
Alright, so do you want to put this second? I want that
in the middle, yeah. Alright, so that's going in the middle.
The money box is in the middle. And then, and I think
the Toby Yerg is the most
expensive. Alright, okay, so with all that in mind,
do you want to give a price to these?
Yeah. Alright. £2.50. £2. Okay. So with all that in mind, do you want to give a price to these? Yeah. All right.
Smartphone. £2.50.
£2.50.
This?
£3.50.
£3.50.
And that?
£5.
Okay.
Here we go.
I hope I score some points because last time we played, I scored zero.
Well, get ready to score zero again because it's time to reveal the scores.
cheapest thing today was
this.
This was on sale
in Tiger
because the store
was closing down
in power.
So any two items
any two items
in the store
were a pound.
You could buy any two things.
So that was 50p?
This was 50p.
I also bought for 50p
which we'll be using
to digitise a live
for a thing I won't
explain right now
a baseball ball launcher that you put balls in and it fires them into the air and you get a little I also bought for 50p, which we'll be using Digitizer Live for a thing I won't explain right now,
a baseball ball launcher.
You put balls in and it fires them into the air and you get a little baseball bat to knock them.
Little balls, though.
Yeah, little plastic balls.
Not like heavy glass. Well, I didn't know that.
I wonder how much that retails for when they actually are selling it.
Honestly?
Probably like fiver.
Yeah.
Well, that's so that you see why I...
I know, I know, but this is part of the game, isn't it?
Shit.
I'm out to addle and confuse. You have. You could have followed up questions about its heritage and this, that's so that you see why I... I know, I know, but this is part of the game, isn't it? Shit. I'm out to addle and confuse.
You have.
You could have followed up questions about its heritage and...
Well, you just said it came from Tiger.
What am I not like to...
I know, but you didn't follow it up because you're a very uninquisitive person.
As Mary Poppins once said, can't see past the end of your nose.
I certainly can.
Right.
There's a microphone.
The second most expensive thing.
I can see you.
Second most expensive thing.
What do you think?
No, I'm on reflection. Well, I'm probably wrong, wasn't I? Yeah. It's probably the Tomy. It is. The second most expensive thing. I can see you. Second most expensive thing. What do you think? No, I'm on reflection.
I'm probably wrong, wasn't I?
Yeah.
It's probably the Tomy.
It is.
It's the Tomy.
This was £2.99.
£2.99 because it didn't work.
And he said he was basically selling it for parts.
And I was like, I want this part, the pretty part.
I want this.
Cool.
Give me this.
That's nice.
Nice thing.
So that was £2.99.
And that.
The projector.
The projector was £3. And I bought it almost out of spite for this. I said £2.99. And that... The projector. The projector was £3.
And I bought it almost out of spite for this.
You did.
I get a point.
You do get a point for that.
Yes!
There you go.
One point.
Yeah.
They call me One Point Silverman.
No, that's a little victory for me.
I thought I was going to blank out.
No, you get one point.
But I was disgusted that I bought it out of disgust to make a point.
It's a terrible thing.
It's a terrible thing that is not very effective.
Now, interestingly, a few years ago
and I think America, it might have been Britain,
but in America, Pizza Hut did a thing
where you bought a pizza and the box you got
it in turned into one of these.
And I thought that was actually quite cool.
Yeah, because you're reusing something.
Yeah, and if it didn't quite work, you think, ah, fuck it, I didn't lose anything.
I've still got pizza.
Yeah, I've still got pizza.
But this, it's not very effective.
It's not sharp.
It doesn't even focus.
The colours are muted.
I mean, it looks like what it is.
Your phone in front of a big glass.
Yeah, it's just bullshit.
It's trying to sort of appeal to this kind of hipster retro market.
It's got that thing going on.
It's designed like an old film camera or something.
Piece of shit.
I don't know.
I don't know how you can improve that.
You could.
Like Polaroid released one as well.
And Polaroid's one was just as bloody awful, if not worse.
Yeah.
I don't think the glasses are as good in the Polaroid one.
You can actually get projectors that actually are machines
yeah
that actually have
you can get a really decent
palm sized projector
if you want one
for maybe about 150 quid
yeah
fuck only the highest spec
and that works
they'll do the job
they'll bloody work
this is just a novelty item
yeah
and it's a piece of shit
also can I just say
I don't like that money box
at all
alright
it's awful
why
does it's job
it's just
there's no the coins we put in job? It's just there's no
the coins we put in
they fell down
extremely fast.
There's no play to it.
It's bullshit.
That Tomy thing
is by far
even in broken state
a hugely superior thing.
Yeah it is.
So I've bought
three things.
One that's great
that doesn't work.
One that shit
that does work.
And one that shit
and works
but no one wants.
Yeah.
What a great haul.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the price of shite.
It's the fucking price of shite.
It's the fucking price of shite.
It's the price of shite.
It's the price of shite.
It's the fucking price of shite.
It's the price of shite.
It's the fucking price of shite. Oh, it's the Price of Shite. It's the fucking Price of Shite.
And that's right.
Okay.
It's becoming quite a regular part of this show.
Not out of any design, but just because it is.
But it's Ganon's Golden Games.
It's Ganon's Golden Games.
That's it.
That's all I'm doing.
That's all you're doing?
Yeah.
Some people really like it when you do the whole
I find it deeply fucking unpleasant to sit through an experience.
Oh, I don't know.
But I've just been down here and I don't know what's going on.
Well, I'll tell you what's going on, little person
It's going to go
Yeah
That's it
That's all
I just thought I'm waiting that out
That's all
Because a lot of people say
Oh, Paul, you always interrupt Eli
When he's doing one of his funny characters
You fucking do
And I thought I'd let that one go
You fucking do
And see what happens
It did, it worked
And what happened
It was brilliant
It was a fucking embarrassment
It was an fucking embarrassment.
It was an absolute embarrassment.
You should be ashamed.
So cool. And also, I'd like to apologise for my drunken behaviour in last week's episode.
You should apologise.
People went, are you really drunk?
And I was like, yeah, because the stuff I cut out.
Yeah.
It was bad, Paul.
But we all know, you know, now we just know we've got safeguarding in place.
Don't bring live alcohol onto the show.
I won't bring live alcohol into the show anymore.
From now on, it's just drugs and sex.
It's God.
It's God.
I want to do an episode of Cheap Show where I'm having sex with something at the same time.
What do you mean with something?
It's never been done before.
Has it?
Has anyone ever done a podcast where someone's having sex whilst recording it?
I'm sure they have.
Have they?
I'm sure they have. All they? I'm sure they have.
Right, coming up.
Right, coming up. We've got the Price is Right.
Oh, that's right.
That's right. Oh, she looked at me then.
Keep forgetting there are people who can look in.
There's people looking in and every time we say
cock... It's like they go
the whole London looks at us.
Right. But what are we playing? We're playing
this week on G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G It is the fucking Price is Right. The Price is Right. The Price is Right. Now, we have played the Price is Right before,
but it was part of a box set from Marks and Spencers.
I wanted to know what this original Price is Right board game...
It is, and it's manufactured by Peter Pan Playthings.
Do you remember anything else that they did?
No, but they did something recently that we covered.
Also, you remember those quiz books
where you slide them into a computer-type wallet
and then you type in the code of the answers and the questions?
I vaguely remember those.
Remember that vaguely?
Were they Peter Pan playthings?
They're after Peter Pan.
And I'm sure they did loads of other board games as well based on UK TV properties.
Okay, so that was their speciality.
Yeah.
And this is ITV.
So this is ITV.
ITV been in the news recently.
Oh, God.
Stop making this a current and first program.
I don't want people
to listen to this
a year from now,
two years, ten years,
and go,
I don't give a fuck
about that show
they're talking about.
That's not on telly anymore.
That also is out of my interest
because I listen
from another country.
All right.
All right.
Hello, Tokyo.
Hello, Italy.
Hello, Germany.
Hello, Sweden.
What are your points
for Eurovision? Yeah, well, don't
be topical, Paul.
No, we exist in a bubble,
a timeless bubble. Yeah, we do.
The cheap show bubble, where it's
cosy and the real world can't get in.
Do you know what the walls of the bubble are made of?
Spoff. Yeah.
So are...
What happened? What would happen
if you mixed some spoff
Yeah
With like
Washing up liquid
You'd get frothy spoff
You would
You fucking would
You would
It would all be frothy
Let's go home and do that tonight
No
Let's make our own frothy spoff
And then sell it in little jam jars
Oh we can't
No
We're treading on Uncle Grumbly's territory there.
Come on, get out.
He'll have words.
Get the prices right.
Prices right.
Now, Leslie Crowther, he was the presenter, Paul.
In the UK originally, yes.
Is he still with us?
No, he died a long time ago.
He did pass away.
I believe he was in an accident, wasn't he?
Really?
Okay.
And the catchphrase of the show, come on down, because he'd pick contestants from the studio
audience, wouldn't he?
That's right.
And they'd all come along and they wouldn't know if they were going to play.
So once they got played, it was a big excitement.
Come on down.
It was based on an American show, wasn't it?
It was originally an American show.
The price is right.
But again, the UK version is the one I know.
It's what I'm going as.
I've got to put these cards in.
I'm looking at it,
and I'm getting a real nostalgia glow.
I quite like the art.
Yeah, there'll be pictures of this board game
on our website.
There's little pictures of the items,
and there's a spinny, a wheel of spin.
Yeah, I'll explain how this game works,
because we're going to shoot through it
as quickly as we can.
The whole game involves you playing
the one-bid game, the cliffhanger game,
the danger price game,
and the... Have you checked the cliffhanger game?
Have you checked that it's all good?
Yes, I have. Fuck off.
There's a card game
and a money game. Now, the...
Okay, we're going to start playing it, but you'll
soon quickly find out where the flaws are
in this game, which take away any particular
skill. Because you know when you watch the show
and it goes, here's a tumble dryer
made by Kazoosie and it's got
four spins and a 4F setting.
How much do you think it is? You think, okay, well I know the brand.
It's a well-known brand. Yeah, it's a Noosie.
And I think, alright, okay, £500.
Fuck off correcting me, by the way.
Don't you dare correct me. Sorry.
I said Noosie because you were wrong.
You couldn't think of the right word. So, I'm here, you know, dare correct me. Sorry. I said Zanussi because... Because you were wrong. You couldn't think of the right word.
So, I'm here, you know, to correct me.
Yeah, I'm not here to correct you, Paul, but if you say something wrong, don't we want
this to be truthful?
Don't we want the podcast to be truthful?
It's true.
It's honesty.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
So, I just think it's fair if you can't remember the names of things for me to correct you.
I'm not doing it because I enjoy correcting you.
Anyway.
I'm not doing it
for my benefit, Paul.
You're doing it
for my benefit, aren't you?
Zanussi.
Zanussi.
The Appliance of Science.
Do you remember
the Appliance of Science?
I'll wash your pants.
Zanussi.
Are you doing a Zanussi?
Yeah.
It was Zanussi.
Callback.
Yeah, thank you.
What were you going to say?
The Appliance of Science. Yes. Oh, that was their motto. That. It was a new seat. Callback. Yeah. What were you going to say? The Appliance of Science.
Yes.
Oh, that was their motto.
That's a good motto, that.
The Appliance of Science.
Do you remember Arias Storm?
And on and on.
They made washing machines
as well, didn't they?
Yeah.
And Philips.
Should we name all the companies
that make washing machines?
Hot Point.
On Cheap Show today.
The Hot Topics.
Hot Point.
Hot Point.
Shut up.
Hot Point.
Zanussi. Ford, you're getting a weird look in your eye, mate. Hot point. Hot point. Shut up. Hot point. Zanussi.
Ford, you're getting
a weird look in your eye, mate.
Dyson.
Dyson.
Hot point.
Dyson.
Did Dyson do washing machines?
I don't fucking know.
Come on, explain then.
So, on the show,
they'd have like,
for example,
a Zanussi washing machine
and you'd think,
oh, you know.
Based on what I know
about the brand
and the sound,
you'd go,
all right alright that's
formed with quid
the problem with this game
is it's random
so all these little cards
that you have to guess
the price of
on a spinning wheel
behind them
with the price
that you can't see
so you can't look at that watch
and have a guess
of what the price is
it's just been
a randomly assigned price
which means
there's no real skill
to this
there's no fucking shit
let's go through it
round by round
are you ready
we're going to play
against each other
you don't necessarily
need the third person to be host but we're just going to go through it round by round. Are you ready? We're going to play against each other. You don't necessarily need the third person
to be host,
but we're just going
to go through this
and see how we go.
How to play one bid.
Here we go.
Setting up the board.
Done all that.
Host spins the arrow to select a prize.
Each player bids on the prize.
And the winner of that round is the person who gets the truest value without exceeding it.
Right?
Every item on this side is between £47 and £78.
All right?
Great.
Just double checking that.
I like some of these illustrations. They're very, very
simple, aren't they? Look at the Walkman
and the cassette radio player. Oh, no.
They've really got something. Nice 80s
can of film. I like that on a t-shirt, mate.
Look at the teddy bear. Look at the
Hoover. Look at the Hoover. Look at the
BMX style bike. Look at all
the things on the circle. Yeah, let's look at
the thing. So, shall I spin the wheel?
Here we go.
And it's spinning and it's landing on the the circle. Yeah, let's look at the thing. So, shall I spin the wheel? Here we go. And it's spinning
and it's landing on
the typewriter.
So,
how much do you think
the typewriter is?
It's between 48 and
how much did it say?
47 and 78 pounds.
And it's just random?
Random.
I was going to fucking have a guess.
Between what?
47 and 78?
Yeah.
60.
Alright, I'm going to say
42 pounds.
No, I can't
because that's lower
than the actual fucking price.
I will say...
Numbers.
I will say
60.
60 pounds.
I just said 60.
Did you?
Yeah.
Fucking hell.
52.
Woo!
Okay.
52.
Have we done it now?
I never knew it was going to be
this hard to pick a number.
So 52,
I'm going to turn it over.
I say 60,
you said 52.
The typewriter was... 78. So you, I'm going to turn it over. I say 60, you said 52. The typewriter was...
78.
So you win because you
were closest without
going over.
What's on the other
side?
For the later round.
So 78 pounds.
What do I win?
You just get to go
through to the next
round.
As you go throughout
the game, you'd add
these points up, so
you'd now add 72.
So sorry, Paul, are
we not actually playing
it against each other?
Yeah, we're going
through it in a general way, but here's
what you get to play. You get to play the cliffhanger game
first of all, didn't you? Careful.
Look, it comes with a little board.
Oh, that's cool. Yeah. Look,
number 25 at the top. Where it's
meant to be, yes. I'm fucking aware
of the mistake I
made. That was an award-winning mistake, I'll have
you know. It's good. It's good,
that, yeah. Alright. It comes with a little piece.
I have to say I quite like the design of this game.
I mean for what it is
it's very simple.
But it's quite nicely done. Nice colours.
And the box it comes in is part of
the game.
The game itself leaves a lot to be desired.
Starting on step one.
Let's read the rules out because they are slightly different.
So, the host, me, will now spin the disc to pick a new prize.
Again, like before, the costs of these prizes are all between 47 and 78.
Unlike our game, where you have a guess because each one rises in price, this is random.
So you could spin it and it'd be 50 quid, and then you spin it again and the next one could be 42.
You could go up and down.
Yeah.
So there's no real internal logic.
It's not like our show, which has thought out proper rules, Eli.
It does have thought out proper rules, but you can't count basic numbers.
You won't let it lie, can you?
I won't.
You wouldn't let it lie.
No, don't do.
Slowly turn the show into a thick and bold big night out.
No, you can't turn it into that.
What's on the end of the stick, Eli?
Come. You know what? I knew it was coming. The audience knew it into that. What's on the end of the stick, Eli? Come.
You know what?
I knew it was coming.
The audience knew it was coming.
You probably saw it coming too.
It could have been poo.
It could have been poo.
But today it's a particularly spoffy episode, which is fine.
Anyway, check the value on the disc to work out the difference
and then play the game starting at one step.
And then after that, after you've done your first thing thing you can then pick the next two off this list without
spinning it all right just take me through it as i play because all right so i get to spin the first
disc and it'll choose a prize right ready so we're not going to do that one so the first prize is the
bike right nice bike between it's a bmx it's got one of those uh Seats. And... Handlebar. And... Tyres.
It's a bike.
A bit of a bike.
It's also got one of those things to protect your bollocks.
On the middle bar.
A nut guard.
Nut guard.
That's what I used to call it when I was a kid.
Did you actually call it a nut guard?
Yeah.
Because it guards your nuts from having hard metal whacked against them.
Yeah.
When you slide off the...
Did you used to cycle around as a kid?
I was a little...
I had a Scootex when I was a kid.
What the fuck is that? Half BMX, half as a kid I was a little I had a scoot X when I was a kid what the fuck is that
half BMX
half scooter
I love those
so I had one
and you know
it had the wheels
and the handlebars
of basically
and a brake
and proper pneumatic tyres
they had as well
I loved those
I loved it
I loved those
until
I tried to be a stuntman
when I was little
and tried to jump a wall
and instead
broke my leg
and then I had to literally crawl on my
belly half a mile home on my
Scootex with my wobbling leg hanging
behind me. It was
quite clean. Couldn't put any weight on it.
So if you were around
the Immortan Estate in around
late 80s, early 90s,
you could have seen me on my belly
on a Scootex crying, trying to get home
in pain, looking
like the saddest snake in the world.
Right, bake.
How much do you think it costs?
It's between 47 and 78.
Bake.
It's my next bake.
It's your next bake.
How much do you think it costs?
Yeah.
It's between 40.
What did you say?
47 and 60.
What's it?
It's 47 and 78.
Okay.
I'll go 65.
65.
Let's have a look.
73.
Not bad.
So that's eight.
Eight.
So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
There we go.
Oh, look.
There's a skier who's gone nuts first into the tree.
Yeah, he has.
He's had a very unfortunate time.
He needs nut guard.
And look, there's a little goat on that one.
And he's looking all over the mountains and saying, I judge you.
He judges the mountains.
Oh, yeah, there's another skier.
I was looking at that one.
But you're right, that one.
He's ran into the tree, hasn't he?
He needed a fucking nut guard because that's a ball smasher.
I guessed literally what I just fucking said.
I was not listening to you.
Fuck's sake. I was too busy looking at theher. That's literally what I just fucking said. I was not listening to you. Fuck's sake.
I was too busy looking at the judging goat.
Come on, keep up, Paul.
Right, right.
You can now pick the next item from this list.
The one that I want to guess?
Any one you want to guess.
I guess.
I know.
That's the problem with this game.
I'll go for the Walkman because I want that in a t-shirt.
Oh, look.
They've got an Atari system as well.
Yeah.
No, I'm telling you.
These are really lovely. the designs of the...
Because they're drawn like what's the coolest thing you have in 1986,
and it's this shit.
So you're going to go for the Walkman?
Yes.
All right, so what do you think it's going to be between 47 and 78?
Let's go for the lower end.
Let's say 50.
He says 50.
Let's find out.
It's 66. So that's what?
16 out. Looks like I'm going to fall off
the cliff. Hang on. 1, 2,
3, 4, 5, 6, 7,
8, 9, 10, 11, 12,
13, 14, 15, 16.
Oh!
24 of 25 steps. The point is I can't use
my intellect to guess. Exactly!
It's complete fucking chance.
That is terrible.
Go on, pick one more.
Why do you think they decided to do that?
To make it timeless?
To make it proof against inflation?
Maybe.
And changing prices.
I will say this, though.
The version of the Price is Right that I got with the Marks and Spencers thing, we did
it on the show episode 10 or 12, whatever it was.
That was better.
Much better, because every item had a reasonable, sensible price attached to it.
So if you had a picture
Of the washing up liquid
You turned it over
And it probably said
£1.20
Because you'd go
That's probably
Give or take inflation
And time
And you could
Yeah
You could actually
Make a judgement
And actually use
Sort of your brain
This is just random
Pure random
It's just
Guess a number
Yeah
Isn't it
So guess another thing
Guess another number
Don't even pick an item
Just guess a number
Actually no
We've got to guess
Pick an item
I want to go for
the computer game.
All right,
he's going for
the computer game.
So how much do you
think that costs?
I'll say...
Based on fucking
no evidence of anything.
60.
He says 60
and the price is
53.
I'm off the cliff, mate.
So unfortunately,
Eli,
your time is over.
Please die
Do it
Sorry what's that
There's a yeti waiting for you
And he's going to eat your bones What Sorry, what's that? There's a yeti waiting for you. Oh, a yeti?
And he's going to eat your bones.
Oh.
Ah.
Ah.
Ah.
What?
Not all yetis are good singers.
Some yetis are mean bone eaters.
Monsters, yeah.
This one's called...
Grown up yeti.
Grown up monster yeti.
Naughty Sasquatch.
Naughty Sasquatch?
Ah, I ate your bones.
Good.
Gordon's alive.
No, don't do that.
He's alive.
Gordon's alive.
That's not, that's, you're quoting Flash Gordon.
All right.
I thought you were going to do a Yeti.
Again, someone looks in when I pull a fucking face.
What's going on out there in Soho land?
Nothing.
We're not turning this
into fucking this morning
where you go,
oh, there's a bunch of Asians
like you did last time.
Oh, come on, mate.
Now, we're going to play
a game called Danger Price.
Danger Price?
Right.
And that involves
new cards?
I don't know.
What does it involve?
The card game?
As in Cliffhanger,
Danger Price is played
by the winner of one bid.
We'll just have you
play all the games, Eli.
Cool. The price disc is rotated and replaced at random before the game starts so now you just go yeah you can go i don't like that that's not good it means this game's
meaningless totally it's just number guessing so here's the danger game this is fucking shit by the
way here's the rules the host spins Are these all based on actual games that
were in the TV show?
Yeah, they were.
But again, with
solid basis of...
Yeah, and actually
something you could
play along with.
Observation and
deduction.
So, the host spins
the arrow four times
to select four prizes.
He writes the name
of each prize on the
board.
He secretly chooses
one of them as the
danger prize.
And he does this by
secretly looking at
the prize to reveal
the danger prize on
the card.
The player must now choose three of the four prizes written on the board.
Each time a choice is made, the prize is revealed and written on the board.
The player adds the value of the highest to his overall score.
But if he hits the danger price, he loses everything.
So basically, I'm going to pick four things, and you pick three.
And if you don't pick one of the things I've chosen as the danger prize, you win.
That's literally it.
That's the game.
In a nutshell.
Okay.
Computer.
Bag of money.
What do you mean?
Bag of money is not...
You can't guess the price of a bag of money, can you?
It's because it's how much money is in it.
That said, it was 55 quid.
Right.
Let's put it again.
So we have computer, hoover, bear, sewing machine.
Sewing machine.
I'm going to think of one right now, which is the evil prize.
Okay.
Done it.
Now you pick three.
Sewing machine, computer.
What were the other two?
Hoover and teddy bear.
Hoover.
All right, you win because I picked the teddy bear.
I know because I saw you glancing at it.
Ah, fuck.
See?
You did very well, then.
I'm good, then. Oh, you're like Sherlock Holmes, aren't you? A little bit of observation there. You're like Colum it. Ah, fuck. See? You did very well there. I'm good, that.
Oh, you're like Sherlock Holmes,
aren't you?
A little bit of observation there.
You're like Columbo.
Just one more.
You like Columbo, actually.
I am like Columbo, yeah.
You'd be a good Columbo.
I'd like...
If anyone out there
is remaking Columbo...
You'd be...
You know what?
I often rip the piss out of you,
but I'd love to see you do Columbo.
I could do Columbo,
couldn't I?
You've got the shubby thing.
Like a British version.
Me and you should write a scene of Columbo, and I'll be the murderer you're harassing. And I could do Columbo, couldn't I? You've got the shubby thing. Like a British version. Me and you should write a scene of Columbo.
And I'll be the murderer.
You're harassed.
And I could go...
You spoffed on it dead tits!
Christ.
We found your cream on the crime scene.
Just one more thing.
We know you did it
because we found your eggy spread all over her tits.
I used to love the way he smoked cigars all the time.
Yeah.
And he used to... He'd do great business where he'd be used to love the way he smoked cigars all the time. Yeah. And he used to,
he'd do great business
where he'd be like
fondling the cigar
the whole way.
Oh, mate.
Me and my girlfriend.
And then he delivers
his damning,
you know,
he delivers his,
what he's worked out
and then he lights it,
doesn't he?
Does he ever light it?
He does light it.
Not all the time
because he usually,
me and Anthony
have been watching
all the Columbos
because I recently
got the box set of everything
and I will say this,
the 70s Columbos,
fucking excellent.
They're good.
The 90s ones I don't
know what they're
fucking doing.
There's some great
ones but it's like
they just went
Columbo's a madman
isn't he?
He's a bit stupid.
It's like no.
He's very clever.
There's one episode
right where for no
reason it's like
Columbo's caught the
guy in his plot to
expose him and then
it cuts to like him
wearing ringmaster's uniform like a circus ringmaster. Okay. Going da da and then it cuts away and he's back in his plot to expose him and then it cuts to like him wearing a ringmaster's
uniform
like a circus ringmaster
going ta-da
and then it cuts away
and he's back in his
normal clothes
and I'm thinking
what did you do that?
what did you do that?
and there was a scene
where for no reason
Columbo picks up a tuba
and plays it for two
minutes of the show
really?
because Peter Falk went
you know I do play tuba
and they were like
yeah probably
probably
because he was completely
in control of the show in the nineties.
Oh,
he took control.
Yeah.
Cause William Lincoln,
whatever the other guy was who created Columbo were the main showrunners and writers and
producers.
And he had a big say in it as the show got successful.
However,
when it came back in the nineties,
after being off air for 10,
15 years,
he had full control.
So he must've been like,
Oh,
you know,
I can juggle.
Let's do an episode where the killer's
a fucking juggler.
And I can go,
here, I got some bars.
And they also got that nasty
sort of 90s cheap look
about them as well.
Yeah, the 70s ones
had a really beautiful
production quality
and design, didn't they?
So what you're saying
that it's ended,
the original season ended
like this late 70s.
Late 70s.
And then there was
nothing in the 80s but then came back in the 90s. Yeah 70s. And then there was nothing in the 80s,
but then came back in the 90s.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And you can tell
because the writing's not as strong.
No.
There are some really good episodes,
don't get me wrong,
but they don't hold a light to the 90s stuff.
Does this box set have Mrs. Columbo in it as well?
Yes, it does.
And that's poor.
Yeah.
It's just one pilot episode.
Well, it's funny because
the actress who plays Mrs. Columbo
is Kate Mulgrew, is her name?
Yeah.
Who was the Captain Janeway on Thoyger.
Okay.
As a younger person.
And it's basically Murder, She Wrote.
You know, while the husband's away, she solves crime too.
It's terrible.
But then apparently, like, Peter Folk saw it and was enraged by the low quality of everything.
He wanted the name taken off so the show was then renamed to something different, like
Kate Solves Crime.
Right and it
wasn't a hit.
No and then they
just dropped it
after like six
episodes but those
episodes were all
in the box set.
Oh they're all
there as well.
Yeah if you ever
want to watch it
they're there.
Now we have gone
way off the topic
of this terrible
Gals Golden Game.
Because we're
talking about
Columbo it's better
than fucking
Prices right?
I wonder if
there's a Columbo
board game.
There is.
There is.
Fucking hell. I know. There's a Columbo board game. There is. There is. Oh, fucking hell.
I know.
There's a Columbo board game,
and it's basically like a can of Coludo.
But the idea is that you go to different rooms,
and you build up,
you get cards,
and you get to those rooms,
and they build up the evidence.
So you go,
that bit, that bit,
and that bit makes the killer's face,
and that bit, and that bit,
and that bit make up the weapon.
When you collect it all,
you can then go,
I is you.
And you can say,
just one more thing.
Yeah.
And there's a Murder, She Wrote board game.
Your apartment smells of hydro marijuana.
Oh, it smells of hydroponics.
And we know that on the dead person, they smelled of marijuana,
even though they don't smoke and don't do anything.
So how did they get the smell on them?
He was in The Princess Bride.
Yeah, and Murder by Death.
What's Murder by Death?
Murder by Death is the Neil Simon play
where all the famous detectives turn up at this mansion
and they have to solve a murder before midnight.
It's got Alec Guinness in it
and it's got fucking Peter Sellers.
And they all play versions of very famous detectives.
So he plays like Sam Spade detective,
who gums you.
Sam Spade is, yes,
is the character from
the detective
Maltese Falcon
no
yes
you're right
the Dashiell Hammett
yeah
and there's a
Poirot type character
and then there's like
David Niven
playing the thin man
basically
yes
which is another
Dashiell Hammett
yeah
I love the thin man books
they're fucking wicked
and also finally
there's Peter Sellers
who pulls his eye back
you know dyes his skin his eye back, you know,
dyes his skin yellow
and is a, you know,
detective.
Oh, who was that famous
Chinese detective?
Fu Manchu.
No.
Oh, there's another
Fu Manchu detective.
Oh, but he's really racist.
Yeah.
Anyway, and he gets to do
the most racist character
ever in a film.
Like Mickey Rooney
in Breakfast in Tiffany's.
Like nearly any Peter Sellers
character when you think about it
because you look at Peter Sellers
in Pink Panther,
broad racist French. Yeah. You look in Pink Panther, broad racist French.
Yeah.
You look at The Party, broad racist Indian.
You look at this, broad racist Chinese.
But don't get me wrong, he did it very well.
Okay.
Now, are we going to do any more of this game?
All right.
Well, then we can do...
I tell you what, we'll do the money game.
This one.
Okay, money game.
I spin an item, right?
I spin an item.
And it's a two digit price as you know
right between 67 and 77 between 47 and 72 right that seems you don't have to guess it as well yeah
i know you have to guess it by digit at a time all right so i'm gonna spin a thing spinning it
and it is the roller skates the roller skate so i'm gonna have a quick look at the prize now don't
look i'm looking away.
All right.
Okay, I've got the price.
So you now have one, two, three, four, five guesses to guess the price by looking for a digit at a time.
So a two-digit number.
Name any digit, Eli.
What digit would you like?
Well, I know it's not going to be nine.
All right.
So where do you want to go?
Six.
There is no...
There is no six here.
Imagine it's Sunday.
It's Sunday somewhere in the north of England before the fucking internet.
And this is all you've got.
There's no six.
Imagine playing this.
I know, it's really actually depressing me right now.
Okay, have another guess.
What other digit would you like?
I mean, think about it.
Four.
There you go.
I mean, literally say a digit.
Yeah, four.
There you go.
Now you've got four guesses to guess the last digit.
One.
It's not one.
Five.
It's not five.
Got two more guesses.
Three.
It's not three.
Eight.
It's not eight.
You lost.
It was 47.
What a great game that was.
Oh, that sucks.
Because again, you could play this without having to have the parameters of 47 to 72
because you could do
any two-digit price
and then go,
oh, it's a Walkman.
It must be high-end.
I'm going to guess
80-something.
There's no game.
The best thing about this game
is the designs of the products.
And then the showcase final.
Oh, hang on.
The host places
the supermarket game cards
picture-side up on the table.
Each player chooses
up to four different prizes.
He wins the value
of the selected prizes
provided the total
is less or equal
to £20.
If you go over £20
you win nothing.
What?
So, these are the blue cards.
Let's do it.
Blue cards.
I'm not going to
pick the ones I want.
Yeah, you just
we both will pick
four.
Four cards each
out of this pack.
We get to keep it
if it's under £20.
And the idea is
Here comes the maths. Keep it under £20. Hold on guys. There's going to be a little highlight at the end of this pack. We get to keep it if it's under 20. And the idea is... Here comes some maths.
Keep it under 20.
Hold on, guys.
There's going to be a little highlight at the end of this episode.
I'll tell you what.
Just pick whenever you want and just stop.
Stop.
All right.
How much was that?
£6.50.
All right.
I'm going to pick...
What is it?
Box of chocolates.
£6.50 box of chocolates.
Hold on to that.
It's quite expensive.
I'm going to have a go now.
I'm going to randomly grab one and I'm going to go and grab the
toaster. So the toaster is
£8.
Oh, shit, son. That means I've only got
£12
available.
Right, here we go.
£13.50 available.
I want that calculator.
That one? Yeah. How much is that?
£5. So that means you've one? Yeah. How much is that? Fiverr.
Fiverr.
So that means you've got £11.50.
Still got £8.50 to go.
All right.
I'm going to go for... Oh, I don't want...
Roller skates?
Teddy bear?
Maybe teddy bear.
No, I want the clock.
Alarm clock?
I want the clock.
Alarm clock.
And that is £4.
So that's £12.
So you've got eight.
Right, we've got two more items to get next.
This, God, this is...
Here we go, pick another card.
It's draining the fucking life out of me.
Pick a card.
Pick a card.
Pick a card.
Pick a card.
Roller skates.
I have those already.
I don't know, just pick any one.
No, I like roller skates.
Yeah, I know you do.
11.
Ooh.
Oh, so what's that?
11 plus five is 16.
Oh, it's over to me. You've lost. All right, so that means I get to pick the next prizes. 11. Ooh. So what's that? 11 plus 5 is 16. Oh, it's over to me.
You've lost.
All right.
So that means I get to
pick the next prizes.
Here we go.
I'm going to pick a
football.
Fucking hell.
How much does the
football cost?
It costs £10 I've lost.
We both lost.
What a great game.
What a shit game.
What a great game.
That is terrible.
I hope you didn't pay a
lot of money for that
ball.
No.
I paid £1 for it.
Good.
And then that's it. The other thing is the
bloody prize thing at the end where you
just, do you know what? When I was
playing this with my girlfriend the other night, we both came to the same conclusion.
It's pointless. It's awful.
It's pointless. It's a pointless game.
The only game that is any fun
is this cliffhanger one, but even that you can't play
accurately because of the parameters of the rules.
It's very poor. Yeah.
Very poor.
So I'm not happy with that,
but it is all a precursor
to the announcement I'm going to make.
Ooh!
Paul's making Cheap Show the board game.
Gannis Golden Games!
I've got a spot in me mouth.
It's Gannis Golden Games.
Gannis Golden Games.
Gannis Golden Games.
I'm going to turn Cheap Show into a board game.
Cheap Show the board game,
Gannis Golden Games. Cheap Show the board game, Ganon's Golden Goats.
Cheap Show the board game, Ganon's Golden Goats.
Cheap Show the board game, Ganon's Golden Goats.
Ganon's Golden Goats.
Shut up.
Shut it.
Shut it.
Shut your mouth.
Be quiet.
Halt.
Cease sound.
Stop delivering noise.
Stop it.
If you don't, I'll punch you in front of
all these people. I'll punch you in front of London.
I'll deck you in front
of London. In front of Landro.
Go, go, go. I'll give you a ten if you put your bum cheeks
against the glass right now. Ten.
If you pull a Mooney.
I'm not going to do it. I was about to.
So I'm going to make a cheap
board game. I've got acne.
A case of acne. When I have a problem sleeping at night, what I do to try and get sleep to make a cheap board game. I've got acne. I've got a case of acne.
When I have a problem sleeping at night,
what I do to try and get sleep is I plan this board game in my head.
So I have... The basic gist is you will play as a player ready to do an episode of Cheap Show
and you've got to collect certain things from shops.
Can we have Canebro and Lundro?
No, it's all going to be set in a fictional Cheap Show town
with different shops in.
Called what? Cheapsville?
I don't know, maybe.
And there'll be the House of Pickles on the board and there'll be a record shop at a Poundland town with different shops in. Called what? Cheapsville? I don't know, maybe. And there'll be the House of Pickles
on the board
and there'll be a record shop
at a Poundland
and a Food Corner shop.
Pound Grot Pounds?
Yeah, Grot Pounds
might be represented
on the board.
Scribbles?
But you've got to go
around the board, right,
via different public transports
and buy things
and then you get to go back
to the House of Pickles
and then you play
the ultimate face-off version
of Price of Shite.
That's the basic gist
of the board game.
Fantastic. And is it going to be artwork or what i'm going to try and design i'm
going to draw it i'm going to bring a cardboard thing i could do like a cityscape for the
background town so maybe i haven't thought out anything much more really other than the sketchy
ideas of how everyone moves around the board there's going to be no dice basically you'll
have a little oyster card quote unquote with money on and you've got to get around the board
without spending all the money on that card.
So if you take a train, you go further around the board, but it costs more.
Now, Paul, you, through Ganon's Golden Game,
have become somewhat of an expert on the mechanisms of board games and the strategies.
So are you going to make it fun, is what I'm asking?
No, I'm going to make it arbitrary.
How much is that?
80 quid, but it's a pearl necklace. No, I'm going to basically... Try and make it fun, is what I'm asking. No, I'm going to make it arbitrary. How much is that? 80 quid. But it's a pearl necklace.
No.
No, I'm going to... Try and make it fun.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm going to basically use
bits and bobs of other board games
to make up the prototype of this.
Fun bits, then.
Yeah.
Use fun bits.
Because there's lots of the
other Price of Right game cards
that we can use
because they have small things
that are cheap
and you can test their prices.
So I might use those for items
and I might cut my own albums out
in a little square album. So there'll be Price of Shite sort of mini game within the game. So I might use those for items and I might cut my own albums out in a little square album.
So there'll be Price of Shite
sort of mini game within the game.
Yeah.
When you go to a store,
you have to play a mini cheap show game.
And will there be a cheap eats?
Somehow.
I don't know how you're going to work that in,
but it might just be you go to a food shop.
Tales from the shop floor?
No.
There's only so many things
that will work within the game.
I've tried to make things logically work,
but they never do.
All right.
So they won't have everything in.
I'm excited.
I'm excited too.
Right.
That won't be just
Ganon's Golden Games.
That'll be
Ganon's Golden Game.
It will.
That's what I call
my factory of Game Boy,
Game Boys.
That's what I call
my board game factory,
my company,
Ganon's Golden Games.
I could do the ad.
Yeah.
Go on.
