Eli Silverman Presents An Eli Silverman Podcast
In association with Eli Silverman Productions.
Cheap Show 150. Behind the Scandal.
Edited, produced and starring Eli Silverman.
And here is your host, Eli Silverman. And here is your host, Eli Silverman.
Hello, Eli Silverman here. Thanks for listening. A bit of a different episode this week. There were some incidents. It's the 150th episode and throughout the show you'll hear everyone involved.
That's myself, Paul, of course, Mr Biffo and one-time presenter Ash.
They'll all be commenting after.
I've got interviews with everyone and just to let you know,
they'll be annotating the main body of the episode.
So don't be surprised if you hear our voices commenting on the action that's going on.
You know, it's something different, but it's something that needed to be aired.
And just keep an open mind about Paul.
Now, you're about to hear the 150th episode unedited.
We're just going to put it out there.
We needed to clear the decks of this malignant episode.
And hopefully it will be some closure and it will be the dawning of a new, more open and honest epoch in Cheap Show's history.
Just for the record, I'm totally against this episode going out.
I don't think it's fair. I don't think it's history. Just for the record, I'm totally against this episode going out. I don't think it's fair.
I don't think it's right.
And I think I've been taken advantage of by everyone I held dear.
I've allowed Eli to do this because I thought, honestly, he wouldn't do it.
I thought it wouldn't happen and then the episode wouldn't go out
and I could just throw some clip show up.
But no, here it is.
He's edited it.
Well, you say edited.
It's unedited, he said.
So that just obviously means he's not fucking done anything. I don't know what the
sound quality's going to be like. I don't know nothing.
You know, I went into this show with the best of
intentions. I really wanted to
have a good time. I didn't want to do anything special
because, you know, just 150.
I didn't expect, you know,
a 10-gun parade, or whatever
it's called.
I just wanted a nice episode with my friends, Ash
and Biffo.
But apparently, they all came with beefs.
And I just didn't expect the episode to go where it went.
And I'm kind of upset and traumatised by everything.
And I hope once the evidence has been shown,
you'll be on my side.
Let's just let history judge.
I hate you and your fucking noodle posse. People love noodles.
It's just a fact of Cheap Show you're going to have to learn to fucking accept.
Cheap Show. Off-brand, off-brand, off-brand, off-brand
Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap
Cheap Show
It's the price of shite
Paul Gannon
Eli Silverman.
Welcome to Cheap Show.
And a go and a nuzzle.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Cheap Show 150.
Is that a question?
Yeah. You should have saved that for the 180th episode. Is that a question? Yeah
You should have saved that
for the 180th episode
Well I'll just do it again
He's paused it now
Yeah
What when we get to 180th
Yeah because they'll never
reuse an old idea
Do it better
Not on this show
Do it better
Do it better
How do I do it better?
I just want more energy
at the beginning
More spunk
Build
I like the build
Yeah Build up of spunk
backlog
how immature Ash
that you think
that's amusing
saying spunk
just great to be back
I'm talking about spunky
you know being spunky
do you know
in an Australian sense
yeah
do you know
tantric sex
is meant to
make you
not cum
when you cum how will you ever learn to make you not cum when you cum
how will you ever learn
to use it then
but
when he said that
about being backed up
you came
is that what happens
do you think Sting's got
terrible backed up balls
he's like a gunked up cock
he's got
he's got two of those
sort of bouncers
that you used to have
you know the
what are they called
no the space hoppers
space hoppers
that's what he's getting
well retro
testicles
yeah that's what I mean
oh I see yeah they're like space hoppers between his legs that's what he's getting well retro testicles yeah that's what I mean oh I see
yeah they're like
space hoppers
I honestly think
they've got faces on
golden wonder
space hoppers
white dog poo
tantric sex
yeah
stink
oh you don't see
fuck it
high tech
don't see giant balls
high tech trainers
do you remember
those adverts
for smoking
banning smoking
where it was like,
it showed the tar and the fat.
Yes.
Right,
I imagine the inside of his penis
is just full of that.
Sticked penis.
So it just oozes out
like a long sausage.
It slithers out.
Like a greasy white sausage.
Like,
the world's dirtiest playdough.
And when it comes out,
it's going.
Yeah.
And it kind of has
a kind of natural bubble to it.
It's like,
as it comes out.
I don't know.
It doesn't come out.
But I reckon when he does blow his load...
It wouldn't be backed up.
When he blows his load,
I bet it's like a fucking shotgun.
But he doesn't though, does he?
That's the whole thing.
At some point he has to.
Imagine if he's been holding on to it since the 80s.
This is my original point.
You don't.
Do you think...
But that's it.
It's about two and then you go...
You still go...
You don't do that.
You do.
Like, you know... It's the rhythm. All it is is the go You don't do that You do Like you know It's the rhythm
All it is is the rhythm
Paul have you ever been stuck somewhere
where you couldn't access a toilet that easily
but you needed a shit real bad
and you got the urgency
and then that thing happens
Probably
It goes
Imagine that
Yes
And then I don't shit for days
with that
You clog it right up
Yeah he does
It's like
You ever seen a snail
when a snail
hasn't been fed
or watered
for a long time
it gets a film
over the bottom
of its shell
yeah yeah yeah
that's what my
arse goes like
oh is that what
that thing is
with a snail
yeah
and is that just
to keep it all
nice and cosy
I don't know
my daughter had one
and she forgot
to look after it
and it went
in this weird
high location
like giant
African land snail
were they good pets
she forgot to feed it well she it went in this weird high location like a giant African landscape were they good pets she forgot to feed it
well she couldn't be
bothered
so you know
and um
so that would help
you with like long
traveling I guess
what if you kind of
got a film of
kind of skin over
your anus
a hard mucus
yeah but you're still
putting stuff in
mucus plug
a mucus plug
thank you for your
contribution Eli
thank you very much hardened mucus plug um this is for your contribution, Elon. Thank you very much.
Hardened mucus plug.
This is all you do now.
You say three random words
and then Tony makes it into a t-shirt.
Yes.
Yeah?
Isn't that impressive?
Hardened mucus plug.
I'm not wearing that on my t-shirt.
He used to be in a Sex Pistols.
Didn't he mucus plug?
Didn't he murder his wife?
I think it was the damned.
As far as I know.
Oh, damned because of like a plug.
They'd be like a damned to start. Very clever. Very clever, Paul. That's as I know. It could be in mine. Oh, damned because of like a plug. They'd be like a damned at the start.
Very clever.
Very clever, Paul.
That's what I meant.
Because his anus was plugged.
Yeah.
Yes.
Right, well, welcome to 150.
Lucas Plug could be in my imaginary punk band.
Lucas Plug.
What was your punk band called again?
Piss Crystals.
Piss Crystals.

officer
shall I do my intro
again please
never sell only ice creams
do you want to do the intro
do you want to do the
yeah the Morecambe and Wise
gag well done
do you want to shake my hand
like you did a joke
that you heard off the telly
40 years ago
it's weird
touch me
it's the 150th
it's special
clammy and the sex finger
that's a great
cartoon
you did not
commit to that
handshake Eli
and I want to
make that the
listener absolutely
aware of that
you didn't fully
extend it
there was a
handshake
I'm not doing it
again why should
I
it was a soft
handshake
what are you
trying to say
I'm trying to say
you didn't want to shake his hand.
And I know,
the listener might think this is all play between you,
but there was a genuine dislike of Paul's hands there.
I do genuinely dislike his hands.
He's extended again.
It's a clammy.
He's waggling his hand.
It's a clammy.
Eli is gripping both hands.
It's 150.
Shake my hand.
It's a clam.
Shake my hand.
Paul has gone 75% of the way. Shake my hand or I will shake your gland. It's a clam. Shake my hand. Paul has gone 75% of the way.
Shake my hand or I will shake your gland.
That's the new game we're playing.
This is a bit weird and creepy.
Hand or gland.
It's making me feel uncomfortable.
Thank you, Biffo.
Yes.
What?
It makes me feel weird and uncomfortable and icky when you do that.
Yeah.
Ash, you know, you don't have to deal with him.
You've done what?
You've hosted it once for half an episode.
You've done one of these before or something.
Oh!
Oh!
Ash, one-time semi-host.
I am incredibly busy.
I want to be here more.
He's busy overpopulating the planet with his demon spawn.
Well, yes, I've done that
but they haven't stopped me
well they've asked me not to
but they haven't stopped my children
I've asked Ash on a number of times
to be on this podcast and he has repeatedly said
no because it clashes with what he calls
gigs
work money I love being here
you know that I love being here
why have you got your own podcast then
if you loved us so much you wouldn wouldn't have one, would you?
That is true.
Yeah.
But I like the company of others sometimes.
Yeah, I've heard that rumour.
But just not you two.
He's just chosen lack of commitment, I would say.
Well, this is what I'm saying.
It's interesting that we're all here today for the 150th to iron out some beefs.
I beg your pardon?
I'm not ironing out my
beef in front of you.
We'll be settling some
beef.
What do they call dog
meat?
What?
Because beef is cow.
Is there a name for dog
meat?
You mean like the meat
of dog that you would
eat?
Chowf.
Dog.
The meat of dog that
you would eat.
Chowf.
I presume it's just
called dog.
But it's all cow meat
called beef.
Chowf.
Chowf.
Yeah, that's what it's
called.
Chowf. Is it? No what it's called. Chowf.
Is it?
No.
That's quite convincing.
Why did you ask a vegan that?
Chowf.
Because you know where they actually come from?
The words for meat in this country are the French.
They're sort of bastardisation.
So boeuf is French for cow.
They reckon there's a sort of, I don't know if it's a myth,
but they reckon that the distinction between the pig and pork and beef and cow was a sort of class thing.
Fucking hell.
Can we just start this episode?
Because so far it's been a sting, spunky, cockshaft.
Do you know why beef...
I don't want to talk about beef!
That's what I want to hear.
You know what, that whole expression that you've got beef, what's your beef?
Where do you get your beef?
That's relatively recent. Where do you get your beef? Hey, where do you get your beef from?
That whole use of beef
is relatively recent, isn't it?
Yeah.
And I think they think
it came from that ad campaign
for beef.
There was a very, very famous
ad campaign.
It's Burger King.
Where's the beef?
No, where's the beef?
Where's the beef?
Wasn't that,
I thought it was Burger King
or was it Wendy's?
I think it was the Beef Trading Board
or something.
Did you see that advert that they showed?
The 80s advert for lamb the other day.
No.
Did the rounds on Twitter.
I mean, this is right for a street food.
Oh, I love that, yeah.
He's like, it's good lamb.
My wife cooks it.
We're all having lamb on a Sunday
where the family comes together
and we enjoy our time together.
I'll cut the lamb.
My wife cooks the lamb.
And the family
will be together as one.
He's so good.
Someone said he definitely
murdered that family afterwards.
It's right up your street. You'd love it.
Do you remember Arthur Fowler when he had a nervous breakdown?
Remember that? On Christmas Day.
Carving the turkey.
Is that when he happened it happened
and he was like
holding the knife
yeah
and his hair
was all sort of
greased over to the side
like when Superman
goes bad
it was like
all they did
was change his hair
remember in Superman 2
where he's sort of
evil Superman
they did that with
Arthur Fowler
they did basically
it's not as bad
as Spider-Man 3
where he goes bad
can we stop this
fucking episode please
why did they do that don't stop hitting me don't stop hitting me It's not as bad as Spider-Man 3. Can we stop this fucking episode, please?
Why did they do that? Don't stop hitting me.
Don't stop hitting me.
Don't stop hitting.
Paul, is that literally what you've come down to?
This is what this has come down to?
It's the only way I'm going to get your attention,
because you keep shouting the word beef out loud.
It's confusing.
150th episode.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Mate, do a proper intro.
I can drop in the theme
and then we can get this going
can we please
do our
utmost
alright I'll do it
go
into your mic
yeah
it's episode 150
cheap show
I'm Eli Silverman
who else we got
on this special episode
it's the other cunt, Paul Gannon.
Yes, I was very much looking forward to the 150th.
You know, any opportunity to, you know,
publicise, digitise a brand
and, you know, perhaps ingratiate myself a little more
with the, you know, the Cheap Show boys.
I was looking forward to being back on the podcast it'd
been a long time since i was there but i had realized you know obviously something's been
going on between paul and mr biffo spending a lot of time together i sort of needed to come back
because i felt like paul maybe had been neglecting cheap show you know sort of seeing other opportunities elsewhere and going for
those and and i felt that you know biffo maybe he wanted a bit of the action and you know i kind of
see it as as my place there was a weird atmosphere it felt like paul had a lot of uh unresolved
issues that were bubbling under the surface eli clearly was excited about what he had planned
i just regret that i played a part in that okay so when we started the episode i thought it'd be
pretty standard you know we had the same old segments um it's just 150 of a couple of guests
to make it special uh little did i know uh where it would end up. But to be honest, listening back, you can see that the tension and the energy in the room already had been...
It was strange from Paul.
And it's almost like he knew what was going to happen.
Have a listen for yourselves.
Paul Rose.
Yes.
Ash Frith.
Ash Frith joining us.
One time host.
Cameo host to Ash Frith. I just want to say... Cut one time host cameo host Ash Frith
I just want to say
cutting room floor
cameo host
do I get chopped out
of this episode as well
yeah you never know
I'm here for every episode
you just chop me out
that's what's happened
I have done a whole episode
myself of course
don't forget
I imagine that you've done
all the episodes
it was really good actually
the episode we did together
oh yeah
the much better one
with Paul here
that was my audition
episode
it was
really in a certain way
you know
I'm just saying
that's why the phone
calls stopped
because Paul got
all the gigs
basically no
it's because
you're the Pete Best
of Cheap Show
oh
why do you listen
to that on your
little podcast
it's all about
the seedy lives
of rock and roll stars
Disgraceland
Disgraceland
your Pete Best
as in
you don't look good in a
mop top. I find this very difficult.
I went to school with a boy called Pete Best
so every time I hear the name I refer, my mind
refers back to Pete Best. He was
ginormously, he was
ginormous. He's a ginormous
man. But he
had this piece of carved wood
that was a planed piece of wood
and it was the size of a dinner plate and
it was a perfect spiral and it was beautiful and i picked it up looking at it and i said to him
what would you do if i broke this and i accidentally genuinely accidentally broke it like oh yeah yeah
yeah yeah like the kind of thing an arsehole would do break and he was absolutely distraught I was disinvited
from his
birthday party
and then
just a few
days later
his dad
died of
heart attack
the word
probably
belonged to
the dad
it could have
turned out
his soul
was in
him
well
Ash
he's here
tonight
he won't be
here tonight
at 11 years
old the size
he was
he hasn't got
a chance
to still be alive.
Well,
what a sobering start
to the show.
Yes,
it's 150.
I just thought
we'd just,
for the episode,
we'd just do a nice little
friends together,
doing an episode,
no fancy conceits,
no awards,
no nothing,
no special effects.
No awards?
I love the way you specify
no awards.
I just meant like in the episode.
Oh,
no big awards for the podcast.
I'd like some awards please Paul
we're just the 150th episode
can't we do some
ad hoc awards
alright
I'd like the beef
award for
most preferred
most preferred guest
Mr Biffo
yeah
alright yeah
I would
I'll go with that
runner up
I can't even remember
who won those awards
did you win an award
yes
he didn't
I won best dish guy
he won
but I think he probably
best one time host rigged the vote yeah think he probably... Best one-time host.
...vigged the vote. Yeah, maybe.
He could vote a hundred times.
Best phoning in
to hosting.
Phoning in the hosting.
Phoning in the hosting.
That could be your autobiography.
If Chief's show got really, really huge.
Which it won't.
I love the show.
Where's what you beef, man?
I'm a priority.
Say beef.
All right.
Right.
Anyway, this is the Cheap Show Podcast 150.
I asked our lovely Cheap Show audience
to get in touch and send us questions on Twitter.
So I thought we'd start with that.
Unless Eli's got any stories.
He's gone.
Do you want to sit
down talking to the
mic
do you even care to
be here
got any stories
tell us from the
shop floor dance
floor
did you corny women
you know derogatory
terms
that's for ABBA
did you maybe tell a
businessman to
fuck off
it's not a poo
did you leave your
needles in your
I left them there
yeah
because you were
drunk and then you
overspent at the bar,
which is why your card didn't work today.
My card works.
I'm not enjoying this, Paul.
It's got very sad. There's a weird atmosphere
in the room all of a sudden. It's fine. Right.
Here we go. We're going to go through the questions.
They could be for anyone, so let's
find out who it was. Who it anyone So let's find out Who it was
Here we go
Who it was
Who what was
Who it was
Who it was
Am I in the right thing
Yeah I am
Alright here we go
I'm at the start
Paul
What
Where's the beef
The beef will be in your mouth
If you keep on talking
Oh dear
What
What
This seems a bit much
Do you know what the best thing
That's come out of the show so far
Is I have a word for dog meat.
Chowf.
It's good.
Chowf.
It fits.
Do you want a tin of chowf?
Yes, please.
I've got a noise a dog would make.
Chowf.
Chowf.
Chowf.
Questions.
Questions.
Questions.
Gaming rack.
I'm interested to know
how did all you guys meet
and get to the point you're at now?
It's a very big question. it's a very big question I'll start at the
beginning
yeah
oh here we go
as to where I am now
yeah
I didn't study hard
enough at school
no me and I met
Paul
it's a very sobering
day today isn't it
what were you going
to be if you had
studied hard enough
a physiotherapist
really
yeah
because you like
touching men's calves, don't you?
Did you specialise in a particular part of the body?
Anuses.
Hey!
But with that job, you've got to start at the bottom, don't you, and work your way up.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Shut up.
At least didn't rip a gag off.
To the colon.
The Demerara gag.
Do you remember the first joke you were ever told?
Yes.
What was it?
It was by my grandad, and he shouldn't have told me this joke.
Oh. So the joke goes like
this.
The man who's been in the Foreign Legion all his adult life,
from the age of 16 onwards, he's now in his late
50s and apparently he
gets to go home and his boss goes, oh, you can
leave this fort you've been in for decades
and the nearest city's that way
and here's a camel and go and ride it.
Right? So the old man...
Oh, he's full of Arab semen?
No.
That's not even me.
Ship of the desert.
I know, but anyway,
he's in the middle of the desert,
he's now on a camel,
and this...
Shut up, we're getting there.
It's very boring, Paul.
Just tell us the punchline.
How did you know
what a foreign legion was, anyway?
This is the point. I don't even know what that is. There what a foreign legion was anyway well this is the point
I don't even know
what that is
there was a foreign
legion
there were foreign
legion jokes
I heard loads of
foreign legion jokes
before I knew
what it was
it was a genre
of joke
wasn't there
like a couple
of TV shows
at the time
that were popular
about foreign
legion
there was also
that carry on
film wasn't there
what sort of
carry on
the foreign legion
the idea of the foreign legion
terrified me
the fact you had to run away
from your life
to escape
going to prison or something
or some terrible thing
was going to happen to you
you join the foreign legion
and you sort of
exonerated from any
like you know
your slate was wiped clean
is that the way it works
have they still got it
the french foreign legion
yeah the french foreign legion
it's what
carry on
follow that camel's about
yeah anyway long story short the punchline what Carrie and follow that camel's about. Yeah.
Anyway, long story short,
the punchline is
will you hold that camel's head?
What?
You didn't want the joke,
so that's the...
Well, give us the line
before the punchline.
I met Paul
filming something
of a Richard Sanding's
perfect movie.
And I already knew
Mr. Biffo
from watching him
on Teletext.
Did you?
Yeah.
You never told me that before.
Yeah.
Oh, Christ.
Why didn't you kiss?
I wouldn't have reciprocated because I was behind the screen.
Oh, sexy time.
I kissed the script.
Definitely kissed the script.
Yeah.
And I met Eli through Paul.
Yeah.
And I met Paul through Stuart.
Yeah. And I met Paul through Stuart. Yeah.
Kind of.

I met BFO at the
computer history museum
we were doing a show
together
yeah the first time
we properly chatted
you said you didn't
like it
cheap show 100
what's that place like
we bonded over talc
oh we did
the talc boys
I remember that talc
I remember you guys
bonding over talc
yeah
there's always another
talc boy
that's where I fell in
love for the first time
talc boys
yeah but remember
you did slag off
fan footage when you saw it.
I called him a fucking...
It was something like that.
It was like shit merchant.
Merchant, yeah.
Something like that.
That's right.
His sense of humour
doesn't really sort of bond
with the wider
Cheap Show community.
And you know,
he does stand-up,
which is a pretty plain career
when you think about it.
Wife, guys, new kids.
I bet you talk about his new kid in your set, don't you?
As broad as possible.
All stand-ups, at some point when they have a kid,
think that's the only material they can write ever more.
Do you do material about your new kid?
Oh, ladies and gentlemen, you won't believe my child.
She sleeps from six till six.
It's a godsend.
Do you ever notice how babies have four arms and four legs?
Nappies.
Nappies.
What are they about? What are they about?
What are they about?
It's full of shit,
aren't they?
Has anyone got a pen?
Yeah,
well,
you know,
you've clearly got your favourites
on the podcast
and that's
that might be for a reason though.
Yeah,
it's just,
you know,
it's just there's a reason
that you don't come on the show
very often
and it's apparent
by your appearance right now.
Next question.
We're going to move on.
We've got so many questions.
How does Eli cope
being small
in his day-to-day life?
This is from Daniel.
How much did he make
for the checker trade advert?
Fuck off
on the second question.
What was the second question?
They didn't pay him.
The checker trade advert.
They paid him in magic beans.
Did you get any tools?
What do you mean get any tools?
Get to your work with a prop.
What tool?
You were brushing.
You had a fire.
Yes, I had to have
a fire expert guy.
A fire expert guy?
Who lit it.
Who lit the broom.
And then he put it out again.
That's boring then.
Also, there was a health guy,
a paramedic,
who after every take
came up to me
and said
you haven't burnt yourself
he's like
you're standing right there
I'm not burnt
and then he goes
and then he also says
you're alright now
but if at any point
during the whole night
alright now
Eli you are
alright now
you haven't caught on fire
street child
there's our running joke
for the episode
What was the first part
of the fucking question?
They said how much
are you paid?
Yeah how much are you paid
and what's it like
being small day to day?
Well I get taller people
to help me get things down
Right next question
Oh this is also from Daniel
it's an add on
Why fat Sal?
What does that mean?
What do you mean why?
What's the other character?
What's Daniel mean by that? I think he's saying what's the point of fat Sal? What does that mean? What do you mean, why? What's the other character? What's Daniel mean by that?
I think he's saying, what's the point of Fat Sal?
Well, this Daniel can fuck off.
Well, can fuck off.
Because this is the thing.
You keep saying that people are crying out for more Fat Sal on Digitizer.
No, they're not.
I've not seen any evidence of that.
I got plans for Fat Sal.
And it might, you know, might take the character in a slightly different direction
you could
they're acting
Eli
I would
no I've not said that
but you know
maybe kind of
said it in too many words
sort of throat
operation
and
is Paul going to be
Fats Al
and the voice changes
I can do different voices
you can do
you're a very talented
actor
because they're insisting
on it
you don't have to
I get people
coming outside here
no they don't
yes they do
and they throw pebbles up
I bet they do
tinkle tinkle
tinkle tinkle
and I'm like
what
where's fat Sal
show his fat Sal
please
those fat Sals
existed for like
you know
25 years now
so
long before
well I think
you know we can put it
to the people
it's the people
versus parliament
on this one isn't it
I would say
some other people
have got their own
things they do together
and you're not
involved in those things
it might be that
you just don't
digitise what he's saying
that's what I'm saying
I've never said it
as boldly
or as blandly
as that
you know
it's just a new
kind of direction
for the character
maybe
you know
it's possible
I could take my
version of Fat Sal
give it a bit of a
bit of a name change
you could be on
Chubby Pig
Chubby Pig
thank you Paul
Portly
Portly Chalf
come on my podcast
did you see that tweet
Portly Chalf
Portly Chalf
yeah
that's got a ring to it Portly Chalf down in Devon podcast. Did you see that tweet? Portly Chalf. Yeah.
That's got a ring to it.
Portly Chalf down in Devon,
I think it is.
What? I saw a tweet today.
Eli and Ash show.
Sugar Bay.
There's going to be no fucking Eli and Ash show.
Here's the reason why.
For me,
from my point of view,
right?
Yeah.
Working with him is a fucking nightmare.
I love working with him.
That's why I'm here all the time.
You're going to be doing all the work
and he'll take all the credit.
And I'll do all the saying funny stuff doing all the work and he'll take all the credit and I'll do
I'll do all the
the saying funny stuff
you know what
go and fuck off then
and do that
and then you don't get to be
in digitiser
be fat Sal
what's more important
fat Sal or
how much fat Sal
work are you getting at the moment
how much fat Sal am I getting
exactly
well I've been doing bespoke
one on one fat Sal things
does he know about this
I'm sorry
are you doing him on the side
I don't I just say this? I'm sorry. Are you doing him on the side? I don't.
I just say I'm
all intellectual
copyright of
Digitizer and its
associated characters
belong legally to me.
Oh well, if it's
called something
completely different
Chubby Chalf.
No, it's the same
Abuse 4.
It's the same
Portly Chalf.
Puppet character.
The likeness.
Mate, you can't be
doing Fat Salf on the
road when you haven't got permission to doal on the road. Chubby chow.
When you haven't got permission to do it.
There's a demand for it.
Well, no, what is going to get the fucking character off you?
They're tearing me to pieces.
Yeah.
Demand or not, it's got to be a different animal, at least.
Yeah.
If it's the same sort of basic dimensions of a character,
then you're fucked, mate.
Sorry.
So it can't be a hog, and it can't be a piglet.
No boar, no hog, no piglet, no... Not even a dog that looks like a pig. It can't be a piglet. No boar. No hog. No piglet.
No, no... Not even a dog that looks like a pig.
Like a pig-nosed dog.
What do they call a female camel?
A female camel?
What do they call a female camel?
A camel?
Camelette?
I don't know.
That's sexist.
You're going to do it with an angry camel.
Camels are too much like pigs.
They're not.
They are.
They are if you shave them.
They're identical.
Shaved camel.
I've been to that club.
Right.
Next bloody question.
What has been your greatest charity shop or eBay find?
Also, that was really interesting or expensive that you got for cheap.
Eli.
I found...
Jokes online and pass them off on the podcast as your own.
That's not a charity shop, is it, Paul?
No, I'm just throwing it in there.
So you just shoehorned it in?
Just shoehorned a bit of an issue I've got with you
besmirching the good name of this pod.
By what?
At least I don't...
At least I cite my sources.
Yeah, but that's just your hot sauce report, isn't it?
Doop-da-doop-doop-doop.
Hot sauce.
Can't you see my hot chili nitro?
Things have really changed since I was last here.
Really?
Not much.
Paul, I found a BBC schools record.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
And it had a radiophonic side,
where it had all the little short radiophonic side where it had all little short radiophonic orchestra tracks
and it had little
sort of liner notes
saying what kind of
sort of improvisatory dance
you could tell your
school children to do
to each one.
Is it like
music and movements
like you used to do in school?
That's it, music and movement.
That's what the series
is called, the records.
Victoria Wood did a song
called Music and Movement,
about that very same thing.
Oh, was it about those records?
Yeah.
Well, there's normal stuff,
like there's some sort of classical music
sort of broken down into the various instruments
on the first side.
Get on to the second side.
Eli, why don't you perform for us right now?
Yes, do it.
Perform what?
Music and movement.
I'll do some music and you do movement.
But no one can see it.
I'll film it.
Here we go, I'll film it.
I'm just doing it with my hands.
Get up.
No, get up, you twat.
We're going to have Eli now do music and movement.
So I'm going to do some sounds and you're going to express yourself that way.
Ready?
Here we go.
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
He's grabbing his balls
If you want to know what's going on
Alright, change of mood
That's not
Dancing to Street Child
I'm not your monkey
Street Child
I forgot to record it
If you want me to do
A Street Child
I forgot to record it
Do it again
No
Don't give me the finger
If you want me to do something
Get me to do Fat Sal
No
We're not doing that.
You know, if that happens again, then we'll do it together.
I feel like it's going to happen again.
But it's not happening on Cheap Show.
You can't keep doing Fat Sal.
Fat Sal lives inside me and wants his nipples.
See, you don't even know what the sex of the character is.
A misgendered fat cow.
Yeah.
Fat Sal.
Doesn't even know what animal.
My God.
And you think you're the custodian
of that character
yeah you know
fuck all
no wonder he's
thinking of giving it away
well honestly
can you get this
tobacco packet
out of my field of vision
oh you don't like
looking at neck
vagina
right
this is one
for Ash
it says
no joke
you alright
not really
what's wrong
there you know
how did he get the gig
well this gig
and then you said
no I'm not
I'll keep you updated
I don't know
there's obviously
a private conversation
going on there
no I just think
you know
life
hey
oh okay
Eli has a question
from Zach for you
Eli mentioned
he earned the nickname
Leaky Can
after he pissed himself
as a live nude model
then later he creates the character
of the same name. That's not true. What is real?
No I didn't. No no no.
Did he imagine you as a nude model pissing yourself?
I heard, what it was is I heard
a story from
a friend's wife
who's also a friend of mine but it doesn't mean they just
have to be married to each other.
The husband's not really relevant here.
From a friend
they
I had a story
about
someone else
who'd gone to art school
and one of their
nude models
for life drawing
was called Ken
and he was leaky
right
yeah yeah yeah
what dribbling a bit
he dribbled out
his knob end
like Sting
you're in
you're in on this
anyway
leaky Ken has been
completely retired
as a character
and the whole franchise
is now owned by
Precum John
was it
what
fluid was Leaky
you know
you would know that
if you've been following
the show at all
I love being in the show
well you don't know
anything about
Precum John
do you
I listen to the show
I listen to the show
by the sound of it I really enjoyed the show I listen to the show not enough for the sound of it
I really enjoyed
the show last week
I'm honestly
really for just
calling
Biffo
the co-host
I'll be down
with that
yeah
well then but
he's gonna get
all the plaudits
yeah just
well you don't need
plaudits
you've got a family
you've got a whole
live kind of
career going on
you were taped
going to Ibiza
yeah going on tour
with tape on face
I did do that
just did a bunch of
fucking crowd control
we haven't been on
stage with anyone
famous
the two bands
I've never done a tour
with tampon face
yeah
oh he would like that
I think he'd like that
I will mention it too
I've got to spice the act up
I'm going to replace tape with sanitary towels.
Just baffle a load of them in there.
Drink a glass of water and see what happens.
Oh, that's actually quite good.
His head would explode.
I like being here,
and I just feel a little bit marginalised.
Well, I love being here.
I'm not making this up.
I'm not lying.
I love being here.
All right, we know.
Biffo, perhaps you can answer me this.
Is there somewhere
i can buy the blue water they use on nappy ads have you tried blue water shopping center that's
all they sell or the little balls that represent i know where you get them the the they what are
they called they absorb it yeah orbeez oh you can get them anywhere my son got a load of orbeez
and his idea was to
try them with different liquids
to see what happened.
What did they do?
They expand.
But the first one he decided to do
off his own back, bat?
Off his own...
I think both works.
Was bleach.
Oh.
They just melted into this.
Disgusting.
You ever put your hand
in a bowl of Orbeez?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, it's so satisfying.
Ever put your knob in a bowl of Orbeez yeah oh it's so satisfying you ever put your
knob in a bowl of Orbeez
yeah you get a big bowl
of them
so it feels like
it's underwater
but it's not actually
underwater
they feel wet
but they're not
I should have bought some
I should have bought
some Orbeez
because I've done them
that's a digitiser
blue water
yeah isn't it
but yeah different
different fluids
don't do bleach
there's a question
from Janice Bremer
for Ash
Janice Bremer why isn. Janice Bremer?
It says, why isn't Ash more often part of the show?
He was somewhat of a semi-regular guest
and I always enjoyed his quote-unquote phone calls.
Those five-minute parts that become delightful in the show.
I thought they slowed the show down, frankly.
Yeah, it was sort of just a bit disconnected, wasn't it?
The other one or two were good, but overall it was like...
What happened was, Janice, I just grew too big for the show. just a bit disconnected wasn't it the other one or two were good but overall it was like what happened to Yanis
I just grew
too big
for the show
well there you go
he doesn't even
want a beer
bit like Fat Sal
really
he can't
I would like to
engage Yanis
if that's okay
do we all know
who Yanis is
no
Yanis
he
yes you do
Yanis
not personally
he's a German
gentleman from I believe Heidelberg he has definitely murdered Janis he yes you do Janis not personally he's a German gentleman
from I believe Heidelberg
ja
he has definitely murdered
he's a big fan of the
Practicing Firth podcast
and he has
I reckon
murdered
at least 10 adults
what makes you think this
well he keeps posting pictures of knives
he did a lot of
flashing pictures of me and Justin Panks with our heads on.
And there's quite a lot of, like, he would do sort of almost pornographic pictures.
But it would just be me and Justin.
There's one of me laying there naked and Justin inside me, but spooning from behind.
And he sent a message saying, is this okay?
He's like, no, mate.
Is that him? The element of self-doubt is beautiful. He's like no mate no no is that him
the element of self
doubt is beautiful
he's a great guy he's a
great guy but he is a
twisted individual
wow
what's the best
Steve Mannion says
what's the best insult
you've ever heard
directed at yourself or
somewhere else someone
else one of my
favorites is Yamar
wears army boots on
the bog and brushes
their teeth with
polyfillet
it's a bit convoluted
that one
yeah it's like
come on
punch it up
yeah
you need to make that
more spunky
I was playing football once
and someone
got so
there was like
gonna be a fight
it never actually happens
in football
there is a fight
but they were sort of
chesting each other
and then my
one of my oldest friends
just got so angry
and he called the other guy
a piss ant
which just isn't something that anyone actually ever says you don and he called the other guy a piss ant which just isn't
something that anyone
actually ever says
you piss ant
it's an American
thing isn't it
you goddamn piss ant
it stopped all of
the aggression
because everyone
laughed and even
he was like I don't
know where that came
from it's stupid
what a way to lose
an argument
what is a piss ant
though is it like an
ant that crawls up
your stream of piss
and get into you
you know there's a
fish that does that?
That's not true.
I was told it was.
It is not.
There is a fish.
I'm not interested in it.
There is a fish.
There is a fish.
That is all that is true.
It doesn't go.
I've seen a whole breakdown
of the physics.
There's no way a fish
could swim up
a stream of urine.
But what if you piss
when you're in the water?
Also,
I think that's what it is.
It can then just go straight up your dick.
Also, but you need a bigger penis.
But you know,
I think they're designed to go up like cows once.
You couldn't electrocute,
electrocute,
Excuse me, let Ash speak.
He doesn't get the chance.
Sorry, Ash.
You couldn't electrocute yourself
by pissing onto electrical wires
because your piss isn't a constant stream.
It's actually,
if you did it super slow though,
it'd be like...
It's like a dotted line.
It's like a dotted line.
Is it?
So those drawings
when you draw a piss coming out,
they're dotted lines, aren't they?
I don't know about you,
weak-bladed bastards.
When I piss,
it's a fucking solid shaft.
You open a hatch and it falls out.
It's a solid shaft of piss.
When you piss,
it's like a bucket
falling off the top of a door
like when you trick
someone who walks
in just all out
in one go
oh god
I've just gone off
I was walking along
with my mate
oh
this is the insult one
yeah
which was staying
on topic
yeah
we're both very hairy
at the time
someone shouted
I'm still hairy now
I'm still hairy
yeah
someone shouted across the road tell your I'm still hairy yeah someone shouted
across the road
tell your dad
to get a haircut
which I always
used to
I liked when
someone said
tiny man
at you
that's horrible
as well
it's not
it's accurate
it's heightist stuff
it's fucking
heightist bullshit
if I was an actual
dwarf
or an actual
little person
but it's even worse yeah yeah I'm just
on the verge of dwarfdom you make it sound like some birthright what's the official about two
inches shorter than what I am is it really well I'm five you don't strike me well first thing I
would I would say if someone said tell me about Eli it wouldn't be short no no he's short I'd say annoying grotesque
smelly
repulsive
angry

Paul is going 80% in with the...
Remember, it's a brand new game.
Hand or gland.
Which do you want?
Do you want hand or do you want gland?
I'll touch one.
I want nip.
Come on.
I want nip nips.
You want nips?
It doesn't rhyme.
I do want nip nips, sir.
Do you?
I'll do it.
I'll do it.
Paul, is this meant to be the 150th episode?
It's very poor.
I can't even see what's happening here
why don't you
fuck off though
right
all you do is
bring me down
every time we do this
out of the house
maybe put some effort in
how about that
maybe I had to
work late last night

playing records
and drinking
it's not a job
that's a job
it's not a job

I'd love to see you do it I can I'd love to see you do it that's why it's not a job. That's a job. It's not a job. It is a job. I'd love to see you do it.
I can.
I don't see you doing it.
That's why it's not a job.
If I can do it, it's not a job.
I don't see you doing it.
Why won't you?
Shut up.
I can't see you doing it.
Great comeback.
Great comeback.
Great comeback.

took so long
to get
Rose
bring that big hairy
donger over here
were they referring
to the bell ringer
or something
no no
it was just
a mate of mine
called another
mate
big hairy donger
I like the idea though someone bringing into a church the big hairy donger oh yeah yeah It was just a mate of mine called another mate, Big Hairy Donger.
I like the idea, though, of someone bringing into a church the Big Hairy Donger.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Take your phone off.
My phone went off.
Who's texting you?
You're unpopular.
What are you doing?
Take everyone's phones off.
Now we're all looking at our phones.
I really wanted to find that picture
that Yanis drove me and Panks having sex.
You know what?
You need to look at that.
I'm not saying that.
I don't want to
just to update you
yeah
I've got a
an email from
Netflix
something that you
might be interested in
what are they asking
for facts out
yes
it's like a Netflix
facts out special
you should say that
a solo show
well listen
people are listening
and they're picking up
my ideas
my characters
so you should be glad
that I'm promoting
my character
your character
if my character
does end up on Netflix
it will be under my watch
yeah
not yours
yes
but
yours
no you can't do anything
with the character
without me saying
chubby camel
chubby camel
that's not
you want to
you want to have like
Votan
I don't know
clam or something
Votan's clam I had one of those a few years ago in Bristol it was a rat You want to have like a rotund clam or something. Rotund clam.
I had one of those
a few years ago
at a nightclub in Bristol.
It was a right chubby buff.
We could call it Pearl
or a rotund clam.
It was right chubby.
Christ, it looked like
it bucked his lips
after eight rounds with Tyson.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
That's too much.
Mike Tyson's a rapist Paul
that's not appropriate
that's not an appropriate way
I can't believe you managed to lower the tone of Cheap Show
was it Mike Tyson as well
the rapist Mike Tyson
yeah why are you bringing him up
it's not good Paul
you know you go Bruno first.
But he's got a cartoon show now,
so everything's fine.
It doesn't matter.
Or Mike Tyson has.
Yeah, or Adult Swim.
All of the characters
I'm creating
are getting stolen.
Teen Yeti.
How come,
this isn't for this podcast,
but how come Mike Tyson
can have a cartoon?
I know, right?
But, for example,
I know I've...
Gary Glitter can't get a costume.
Because, yeah, why can't he do Gary Glitter or Fix It, for example?
Well, let's refer this to our audience and start a poll.
And they can answer it.
We can stay the fuck away from that answer.
You know, there used to be a Rambo cartoon.
Yes.
And a Robocop one.
Robocop.
And Police Academy.
I find this really strange when they make
alien toys
and the 100 days of Sodom
and they did
100 days of Sodom
Debbie does Dallas
used to be
part of Swadshop
for the alien toys
and the Barbarians
Debbie does Dallas
sorry
are we okay
yeah
fucking digitiser people
right let's just
you know what
let's just crack on
there's a definite
teaming up
going on
and I don't
like
we can't help
it if we've got
rapport
I don't like
the future
for Cheap Show
or you Eli
I'm just suggesting
that maybe
Tignetti
has been
usurped
fuck off with
Tignetti
what was I going
to say
something witty
I hope
it's not been
too good so far
alien
just said the word beef
mostly tonight

today we are gonna
do something kind of
special and it might
go all to shit
but
feels like it might
feels like it really
has
the recent edition
issue 8 of the
cheap show magazine
made by event
every issue of this
is fan fucking
tastic
and this month
she's gone overboard
there is a
basically a cheap
show game in here
the whole thing is a game.
It's a Dungeons & Dragons game, and we're going to attempt to play it.
Is it Dungeons & Dragons?
It's got, you know, rolling dice and decisions and action moves and things.
But does it have Dungeons or Dragons?
It doesn't have Dungeons nor Dragons.
So why did you say that?
Why don't you use the term role-play?
Why don't you use the term that everyone understands?
What?
Role-playing game.
That's what you meant.
All right, then it's a role-playing game.
But you're just murkying the water, aren't you?
Because, you know, people think,
oh, there's no dragons.
God.
You're just lying to them.
I just want to kill you.
And now a word...
That's all.
And now a word from our sponsor.
Which is...
Street child.
It's cold.
Oh, I'm hungry.
It's cold.
Oh, I'm hungry.
It's cold.
What's that?
Oh, it looks like it's in the banded phone box. Oh, what'm hungry. It's cold. Oh, I'm hungry. It's cold. What's that? Oh, it looks like it's in the banded phone box.
Oh, what's in there?
Street chow.
Thank God.
Five pounds per muck.
What?
That's a portion of chow.
It's called muck.
A muck of chow.
I'll have two mucks of chow.
I was playing Scrabble on my phone the other day.
Oh, yes.
What a great anecdote.
Muck is a word.
M-O-C.
What does it mean?
Yeah, it means...
I know it's a...
It's a legal Scrabble word, I noticed.
I know it's mint on card, if you're a nerd.
Yes.
Mint on card.
Yeah, acronym.
Mint on card.
Do you remember
when you used to get
fizzy sweets
on the line
of fizzy sweets
this is not
the do you remember
podcast
they used to come
on a card
do you remember
you'd go to Calais
fizzy sweets
yeah they'd be
cola sweets
round cola sweets
in France
and they'd come
in a long strip
of sweets
like those Zots
why don't they
sell them anymore
do you remember
those masters
fucking hell
they're doing this
because it's annoying.
Master Universe.
Master Universe gummies that came on a strip as well.
Oh my God, yeah.
They were amazing.
They were like 10p or 5p as well.
They were slightly wet.
The colour in them was ridiculous.
What's this?
They were Master Universe gummies.
Oh, the wet ones.
Yeah, the wet ones.
That's it.
Slightly, very moist.
I used to slap it on your tongue whole.
Yeah.
And then you could just stick your tongue out
after a couple of minutes.
And you had like He-Man on your tongue.
But why did that sort of thing stop?
Where did they go?
There was a massive demand for them.
Wet jellies.
Wet jellies.
Wet jellies.
I'm going to ask you all to shut up
because I zoned out.
And I need to get the show on.
I don't care about mock.
Mock.
Mock.
No, here we go.
You stop doing that.
Here we go again, you two.
Every aspect of Cheap Show
infiltrates it.
I nearly said a mock then.
Just a kind of knee-jerk
muscle reaction thing.
It is a real word.
It's a real word.
Yeah.
It's a noun.
Yeah.
Informal.
When did this become
dictionary corner on Countdown?
From North America.
Dick, dick, dick.
It's a North American word.
I am talking into
the fucking mic
and it's short for
a moccasin
a moccasin
oh a mock
that's disappointing
shoe shoe
a shoe
I did encourage
you to push on
with that
and I wish I
right and then
we're going to end
with a
why did you just
say great
I wasn't listening
and I just wanted
to be bold
just keep interrupting
him to read
Paul is it 10 o'clock
already
no it's not 10 o'clock
we've done
we've done
8 o'clock
for about 3 hours
Eli
of course you keep
talking about beef
and street chow
street chow
it's the only chow
I know
street chow
I like the chow
hard and slow
street chow
Paul's just raised
his hand to Eli he's just raised his hand to Eli.
He's just raised his hand.
He's now pointing.
I'll hit you.
I'll hit you with a fist.
It's the only chow I know.
Can I say one thing?
Street chow.
I just want to move on with the show.
All I really want to do is go...
All I want to do is move on with the show.
Have you ever had four people on before?
Yeah, that's why we don't do it.
All I want to do
is check out
until the sun goes up.
Stop singing!
A big shout out for
me!
No, stop!
Paul is squaring up
to Eli now.
Paul, when you attack...
Are you able to attack?
You're the Donald Trump of this podcast.
You are.
You've got a fleck of foam at the corner of your mouth there.
You're the Boris Johnson.
Politics, politics.
I just want to move on.
We're doing the magazine.
Move on to your new podcast with your new friend.
Call it Digitizer 2 or something
he's not going anywhere
mock mock
a mock
ah damn it
and then we're going to do
a pricey shite
and then we're going to go home
and that's the episode
alright
right
can we move on
hold on Eli lives here
good
I can't go home
I can never go home
oh my god
moving on
that's the story
the tragedy of Eli
shoot child
I mean Eli's on the hiding to nothing
You can tell he's pissed Biffo off
He's completely upset him with the whole fat Sal thing
I warned him about
Championing fat Sal when it's not his character
Not his intellectual property
And always misgenders the character
Of course he doesn't care about it
He just likes the fact that people like him
So no, I wasn't
surprised that Biffo got mad about that.
Ash, I'm a bit more shocked about him
trying to feign interest in a
podcast with Eli. So yeah, I'm a bit upset
and Eli obviously not giving two shits.
Talking about street chow for the time.
So no, I wasn't particularly
happy by the first segment of the show.
At this point, I was just hoping the game would go
better. Look, what Eli needs to understand is that fat so is my intellectual property and my character to exploit
as i see fit if i want to take fat sow into new territories and and new mediums then that's my
right to do it i mean i think potentially fat sow could be the next Pudsey the dog. So as you can hear from that, there is definitely a lot of tension,
a lot of people with their own agendas, I mean,
is what it sounds like to me afterwards.
You've got Ash.
Ash seems to be angling for some kind of collaboration with me,
but he doesn't want to come out and say it because it might upset Paul.
Biffo just basically trying to downplay
the importance of Fat Sal to all of our lives now
because it's just been such a huge thing.
And he seems to be saying Fat Sal might move to another performer,
which would just be wrong, wouldn't it?
I mean, people speak for themselves about that.
I don't have to say anything about that.
And Paul just acting like a cunt as normal, isn't he?
I'm sorry.
Right, we're going to attempt something on Cheap Show now
that might go disastrously wrong
and put all the good work of event to waste.
But we are going to attempt to try and celebrate 150 by playing the Cheap Show magazine D10 edition issue 8 adventure game.
What's that referred to?
What?
D10.
D10's a dice, isn't it?
Oh, that comes with 10-sided dice.
Well, this is the thing.
If you're a patron you have already
been sent this
if you want to
play it with the
magazine
you've got to
print out the QR
code on the back
which has those
little sheets
that you have
in your hands
the little score
sheets
but you have to
find your own
ten sided dice
look I'm hanging
off the light
like what's his
name
Buster Keaton
is it
no the other one
Howard Lloyd
yes
Howard Lloyd
yeah
hanging off a
clock like that.
Hooray for Harold Lloyd. What's that film?
He was good Harold Lloyd. He was great.
Yeah. Oh he is.
So the idea is
when you get it, when you buy the physical
copy if you go to, I'll give you the links
at the end of the episode but basically if you get a physical
copy you also get these dice. Two ten
sided dice to play the game.
And that's the D10. And that's the d10 and that's the
d10 so beautiful piece of work yeah it's amazing i mean i'm genuinely awed by it i mean we've i've
often talked about events work on the cheap show magazines full stop and i i genuinely believe
they're better than this podcast so can i just say as well my hair in this is absolutely superb
isn't it yeah spliff haircutiff haircut, isn't it?
I don't know what that means.
Talk into the microphone and maybe we can hear you say it.
I don't know what that means, spliff haircut.
I think it was just...
It doesn't mean anything.
It didn't mean anything.
I just think they went...
It's a callback, I think.
Don't expect meaning from Paul.
That's a thing they do.
He destroys meaning.
Shall I read the rules because you're going to fuck it up?
Yes.
All right.
But I have read the rules. Can I be Dungeon Master? I mean, to fuck it up. Yes, but I have read the rules.
Can I be Dungeon Master?
I mean, there is no Dungeon Master, but if you want.
Can I be Maze Master?
Can I be an elf?
It's a choose-your-own-adventure.
It's a cross between a choose-your-own-adventure and a buying game.
The basic version of this is
on every move, you go to
a different store,
depending on the story, right?
When you get to that store, you roll a dice to decide on what items are available on that store.
Then you can choose to buy them, okay?
You've got to get three items in an hour.
And it's not real-time hour.
It's game minute hour.
So every move, which means if you go from one table to the next, that's five minutes.
The time you spend at a table is five minutes.
So if you decide to stay at the same table for two rows, it's
ten minutes of time. Once everyone
has run out of time, the game is over.
We don't know how long it will last, so we're going to
just play for 25 minutes and then see how we do.
Can we start playing now? In a minute.
I also want to just say that each one of us has
got a copy of the magazine, and in it is
the game scenarios and every
list of items. Now, the items
have a code, and that tells you how much they're worth,
what your discount can be, if it's rare,
and some other number.
We'll figure it out when we read the rules.
But we're going to do scenario,
the flea market to start with, right?
That's the first one.
Event said we should do the more complicated game,
which is the boot sale.
But I thought, well, shit, let's keep it simple.
So, what I will say is,
Eli, do you want to read the rules okay what's
where they aim of the game it's the back two pages can i just say i uh from my
o-level english literature i'm old enough to have done o-levels i did a book report of a
choose your own adventure i did death trap dungeon did Death Trap Dungeon. That's amazing. Didn't we talk about that?
That's fighting fantasy.
I couldn't be bothered to read a whole book,
and I thought I only have to do kind of like, you know,
Half of it.
Yeah.
I got a C.
I mentioned this.
I tried to draw the map of Death Trap Dungeon.
Ah, yeah, yeah.
It doesn't make sense.
No.
I heard you talking about it,
and I thought when I was just doing that.
You agree then?
Yeah.
It wasn't just me being stupid?
No. Does it matter, though? I mean, that's not You agree then? Yeah. It wasn't just me being stupid?
No.
Does it matter though?
I mean,
that's not me being facetious.
Does it matter that it doesn't fit together? Well,
it does if you try and draw a map of it.
Oh,
okay.
If you try and make it a rational environment,
it's not a rational environment.
Everyone cheats anyway.
Yeah.
That's true.
At those.
No one,
you know,
I used to actually roll the dice
sitting by myself
and actually fight the dice.
What to decide.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then go,
oh no,
I died.
I'll do that again. The problem is, I never had them. I always wanted them and actually fight to decide yeah and then go oh no I died I'm sorry again
the problem is
I never had them
I always wanted them
and I never had them
so I just had to imagine it
yeah
that's sad
it is really sad
was it Steve Jackson
and Ian Livingston
I just remember
yeah yeah
Ian Livingston
who had created
Lara Croft
from Tomb Raider
really
that's what he went on to do
Jesus Christ
ka-ching
what did Steve Jackson do
he just told you
no
that was Livingston
oh alright
I presume
Paul also
he
there was a
there was a
there was the
fighting fantasy books
yeah
but then there was
another series
wasn't it
there were a few
there was one I like
called Lone Wolf
oh ah it's nerdy isn't it there was a sorcer, wasn't it? There were a few. There was one I like called Lone Wolf. Oh.
Ah.
It's nerdy, isn't it?
Well, there was Sorcerer's One,
which was a more advanced system.
I remember that one.
There were a few.
Anyway, I'm sure the viewers can tell.
This bull's looking antsy
because we're just talking.
At least we're not singing.
I'm very aware of that.
We're not.
So we're going to try and get through this
as quickly as possible.
So there is also going to be video footage online,
but it will be available for Patreons exclusively
for a few months
but hello everyone
we're filming
hello
we haven't forgotten about you
this is going to take me
forever
I'm glad that
you told me that
because I've picked my nose
quite a few times
did you eat a bogey
well you're in very good company
did you see there was
something on the
on the internet
he didn't see it but
check it out
check it out
I got paid
some money
to hold a broomstick
on fire
yeah on fire
yeah
yeah
the Pope
picking his nose
and eating it
really
eating it
but then you know
if you had God's bogeys
you'd eat it
yeah
you'd eat God's bogeys
holy snot
do you reckon he has
holy snot
and holy poo
and wee
yeah
do you reckon if he
pissed on a vampire
it would die
yeah I would actually
it'd have to
or cry on a vampire
or pooed on a vampire
or spit
would the Pope's poo
be
what's it called
when you get a bit of a saint
a bit of a saint
yeah yeah yeah
there's a name for it
you'll know
martyr
remnants
no not remnants
relics
so would the Pope's shit be a relic not like part of a well it can be it can be like a finger There's a name for it. You'll know. Martyr? Remnants. No, not remnants. Relics. Relic.
So would the pub shit be a relic?
Not like part of a... Well, it can be.
It can be like a finger, can't it?
A coprophile.
Yeah.
A coprophile who is interested in...
No, a coprophile.
What are they called?
Yeah.
Fossilised poos.
Cop...
Oh.
Oh, God.
I don't care.
Coprolites.
Coprolites.
A coprophile is someone who really fucking likes them. Oh, big coprolites coprolites a coprofile is someone who really fucking
likes them
coprolites
shall I read
these rules then
yeah alright
because there's a
lengthy amount
so we are going
to have to pay
attention
because I do
want to give
this proper
justice
the aim of
the game
stroke adventure
is to buy
three items
from the sale
within one hour
of in game
time
not actual
time
after a player
purchases his or her third item or ran out of time, the game automatically
ends for that player.
If there's more than one player, the game ends after each player's either purchased
their three items or ran out of time.
See scoring.
The story.
There's two scenarios.
The London Flea Market, starting on page three.
That's the one we'll be playing.
That's the one we'll be doing, yeah.
And the Trumpington Car Boot Stale. Oh, that's the one we'll be playing that's the one we'll be doing yeah and the Trumpington Carboot Stale
ooh
that's good isn't it
we did that
a London scenario
I was there
would be a good start
while luck and random events
play a larger role
in the Trumpington one
navigating through the story
is easy
first each player
picks a character
so
Paul
well I'm going to be Paul
the four characters
are us
so I'm going to be Paul
there's Eli, Ash and Biffo
and each character
has their own
kind of special moves
am I Eli in this game
no
because that would
then
can you do an Eli
impression
ow
sounded like
wounded dog
I don't know
it sounded like
80 year old
Michael Jackson
I was doing an
impression of your
impression of Eli
oh well most people
do
yes
indeed
okay ow like cameo ow word up ow doing the impression of your impression of Eli. Oh, well, most people do. Yes, indeed. Okay.
Ow, like cameo.
Ow, word up.
Ow.
Ow.
Can you do an impression of Eli?
I don't know.
Yeah, this is just good.
This is amazing.
Oh, that's a good one, Paul.
We've got to keep focus, focus.
I was pretending that Eli's voice
was Paul doing the impression of Eli.
We're never going to read
all these rules.
There's like two pages of them.
No, there's one page
really
each person picks a
character and either
starts from the
predicated
pre-decided sorry
starting point
London scenario
or rolls the dice
to decide a starting
point
so we're just going
to worry about
starting where we're
each player simply
reads the text and
proceeds to the next
location by choosing
one of the options
make sure to write
down the locations
you visited on your
player card to avoid visiting the locations you visited on your player card
to avoid visiting
the same table
I have a pen
I stole twice by mistake
note you can revisit
you cannot revisit
random events
if you do happen to come
across a random event
which has already taken place
retrace your steps
and pick another option
right
special events
or paragraphs you go to
that have an event
that affects the game
so you can't go back to them
buying items
most table distills
have at least one item
you could purchase
see the item list
so when you go to the paragraph
with the table
it will tell you
what the items are
or if they're blank
and you need to roll
to decide what the item is
I get 50% off gaming items
yeah you do
I'm so anxious
unless you get more
we've got special
we've got special moves
for these
for the items
what's mine
we can read it and find out so Eli's special power Unless you get more than... Oh, we've got special moves for these, for the items. What's mine?
We can read it and find out.
So Eli's special power is he has a good eye for cheap stuff.
Why buy expensive items if you can get five cheap ones?
So you can pick from one additional item list.
If you go to a table and there are three items,
you can also roll it a fourth time for a fourth item and add to that table.
I can do that twice.
So you can only do that.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's exciting, isn't it?
It's complicated.
Jesus.
When I was 16,
I went to college
and studied advanced science.
Yeah.
After about three months
of being there,
I was in a lesson
and the teacher said something
and then it dawned on me
that I had no idea
what was happening.
And you know you've had that dream
where you're at school
and I was in that in real life
and I went,
I felt like I'd missed
two weeks of college
and I just went
to the teacher
and said
I've got to go
and I left that college
and I stopped going
to that college
and is that how you feel
right now?
this is exactly
honestly how I feel now
okay shall I keep reading it Paul?
I've got a headache
yeah
it's a lot of
I tell you what
shouldn't we just play it?
that's normally the best
option
because we can always refer to the rules if we get stuck so for instance when we go to pick items It's a lot of... I'll tell you what. Shouldn't we just play it? Let's just play. That's normally the best option.
Because we can always refer to the rules if we get stuck.
So, for instance, when we go to pick items, we can break down.
Okay, so we'll get started then.
Each item has a code.
I will read this out.
So when you get the item given to you or the item you roll, right,
there are four sections. The original price, which is like £2.50, max discount.
So if it says 50, it means you can only have 50% of that price tops
even if your special move
means you can do more than that
you can't do more than 50
right
rarity
you don't have to worry about rarity
and rating
you're so overwhelmed
right
should we just start
I will read
the flea market
I've got a pen
we'll share that
because we will take turns anyway
it means we can all take a pen
when we need to
right
with that in mind
let's begin.
Everyone's got their scorecards.
Oh, shit, this is going to be stressful.
Here we go.
Scenario one, the flea market.
Paul Gannon Eli
Ash
and Paul Rose
all visit a London flea market
shall we do some
background noises
yeah go on
rhubarb
rhubarb
good job
Paul Gannon
fresh chow
don't do background noise
because then you won't be listening
to what's going on
we haven't been anyway no I know good job chow Paul Gannon made background noise because then you won't be listening to what's going on. We haven't been anyway.
No, I know.
Good job, chow.
Paul Gannon made sure
to bring all the audio equipment
to record another great episode
of Cheap Show.
Eli brought himself
some energy drinks.
So this is unrealistic.
You've turned up
with all the things you need.
Ash brought his son
for some moral support
and Paul Rose is hoping
to score some items
for a few more.
Why is my name
the only one that's...
Paul Rose.
If you call me Biffo,
that would...
It's just weird formal.
I'll call you...
What do you want to be called?
For the sake of this game.
I don't mind being called by my name.
I know there's two Pauls.
Oh, we'll just call you Biffo.
Then I'll read it from Biffo
from this point on.
Right, when all four of them
arrive at the North London Flea Market,
there are some disappoint...
There are somewhat disappointed
by the amount of stalls.
They are.
There's about 20 of them.
Have some people gone home already? Maybe. It all seems organised enough, though, and the tables are pretty packed. There you are. Paul Gannon hands everyone £10. Okay, guys, good luck. You've got one hour.
I'll start because I'm best.
Paul Gannon's adventure starts.
I haven't started the timer.
Oh, yeah, we'll start the timer.
We're going to play for 25 minutes so we can lock this down.
So are you ready?
Lock down.
Have you started?
What do you mean, have I started?
Have you pressed start?
Yes.
All right, well, then we're going.
Right, good. Paul Gannon's Adventure Start.
So you've chosen to play as Paul Gannon.
Good choice.
You have three options to take.
Take a closer look at the stall on your left.
Go to 50.
Take a closer look at the stall on the right.
Go to 57.
Or start walking towards the stalls ahead, 39.
Oh, I'm going to go to 50.
So that means I go to...
Why did you make that decision?
Why not?
Right, it's the first move.
Does it matter right now?
I just wondered.
Stall on your left.
Everything matters.
Right, so I'm going to page section 50.
In real life, you just went off to get a burger from a burger van.
No, he did.
That was me.
He got a burger before the show started.
That was a good burger, man.
It was not.
You got the shit.
Right, the small table has some reasonable items on it,
but it's all quite expensive.
Maybe you can strike a deal.
For 64, special 49 or 92.
If not, you can always visit the table to your right,
go 45, or on the left, go to 57 or walk ahead.
Now, I'm going to stay here, cross one zero off
because that's a five-minute marker,
and I'm going to try... What one zero off Because that's a five minute marker And I'm going to
What is 64?
What is it?
I
64
Oh shit
I'm getting a migraine
A wallet with roughly 20 DVDs
It's eight pound
I can get 60% off
It's quite rare
You're talking really fast
It's freaking me out
He's making me anxious
What does my superpower allow? What does my superpower allow?
What does my superpower allow?
I don't know.
I don't do drugs.
Well, ask me.
Shut up.
I'm making a possible decision.
I don't know why I said possible.
A very good bargainer.
He's able to persuade sellers
to deduct an additional 10%
off all purchases.
So what's 10% off?
Hang on.
Hang on.
50. I can get 40% off. Add that for 50's 10% off? Hang on. Hang on.
50.
I can get 40% off.
Add that for 50.
So I'm going to ask.
Have you done your move yet?
No, I'm doing it now.
I don't know what's going on.
None of us do, Paul.
I've lost the number.
Hang on.
Oh, Jesus.
Christ.
57. What's happening?
57.
I got 57.
He's just muttering to himself now.
Hang on.
I've gotten confused because you keep talking shit.
I'm going to eat some nuts.
I went to the wrong table.
I went to the wrong table.
I went to 57.
I'm going to go to 50.
And I go there and it's got that 64.
Right, next.
64 was what?
A wallet DVD.
So 60% add 10% is 70%.
What's 70% of £8 do you like?
70% of £8 is 8 times 7.
So what's the price I'm paying?
What's 8 times 7?
It's 56.
Yeah.
So what's the price?
£5.60.
Should you have got a calculator?
It's £5.60 I've got to pay.
Is 56 7 times 8?
I don't know.
I'm going'm gonna buy it I've used my superpower once so I've got
a tick that and I can't do that again I've bought it for I'm gone 7 60 percent of 8 pound is 5 pound
40 yeah 560 560 so I 560 DVDs and then that's I have a guy there 50 yeah it is, and then that's... Can I have a go now? 50.
Yeah, it is your go now.
That's what I've done.
Eli, you start.
Eli Silverman, adventure start.
You've chosen to play as Eli.
Of course you have.
Understandable.
You start browsing the market from the eastern side.
You have three options.
Take a closer look at the stall on your left.
Oh.
11.
Take a look at the stall on your right.
Or start walking towards the stalls ahead. I your right or start walking towards the stalls ahead
i'd like to start walking towards the stalls ahead 66 go to 66 it's in the next section where the
little paragraphs are so you go to 66 which is can i just say there was a typo in that sorry ivan
for uh for that but it says browning which could it be he could be browsing or you could be browning the market that's for all we know
maybe you are
I could use some of that
browning
stuff
right 66
where are you
hamburger bar
oh hey
oh wow
I could go for a burger
I'm rather hungry
why are you speaking
like an actor
you want point
because I'm trying to
give it something
Paul
for the listeners
I could go for a burger
I do not sound like that
you do I could go for a burger. I do not sound like that. You do.
I could go for a burger.
A burger towards a burger you fancy.
Plenty of pickles.
Ha ha ha.
That one's three pounds, sir.
Mmm.
You really should be buying items, not burgers.
Just when you decide it's best to keep shopping,
he proclaims, if you purchase a burger,
you'll also get a chance to take a peek in my suitcase
full of rather special items.
It's full of dildos Eli's getting.
Weird.
But that does sweeten the deal.
So do you want to grab a burger?
Yes, go to 7C.
Oh, wow.
He went for the burger.
That's it.
You've got to do it after your next move.
You have to do it on your next move.
Do I have to tick some off?
Yeah, you've got to tick off one of your circles.
One of your zeros. Yay. What? I don't understand off one of your circles. One of your zeros.
Yay.
What?
I don't understand.
See your little circles.
Oh, up there.
Oh, I see.
Yeah, so you haven't bought anything yet,
but on your next move.
Right, who's next?
Me.
Me, me, me, me.
Go.
You made a clever decision
to go shopping with Ash.
You have three options.
Take a closer look at the...
One of us has got to be shit, though.
We can't all be,
have you chosen him?
That's good.
It's like nah
you've chosen Ash
you desperate prick
I don't know
just saying
well there's only one character left
you've chosen Eli
what's the point
because Ivan is nice
unlike you
yeah
alright
people
you have three options
take a closer look at the stall
on your left
go to 17
take a look at the stall
on your right go to 27 or start Take a look at the stall on your right.
Go to 27.
Or start walking towards the stalls ahead.
Everyone has that option, don't they?
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
Big boy?
My natural response is to turn right.
Oh.
So that's 27.
27.
It's exciting, isn't it?
So number 27.
Yeah.
Table.
Oh.
This is rather a large table with lots of clothes and a few other things.
You find both 58 and XX.
XX means you have to roll a yellow and a black dice.
It's the first time we've had the dice.
So 58 is a boxed copy of Cluedo.
XX will be whatever these two digits end.
So if you roll that one and it's one and you roll that,
it's six. You get 16, so that's the item you look for.
I genuinely have got a little bit excited
now that the two D10s have come out.
Yeah. Smell the D10.
Biffo's tenting.
Do you want me to audibly roll these? Yeah, why not?
It brings them in.
So, a bit foley.
Jingle jangle.
It's good stuff. Tinkle, tinkle.
What is it?
81.
81.
All right.
Can you go up to 81?
Yes, you can.
Ladies, 81.
Oh, I'll find it.
I'll tell you.
It's a positively happy book by Noel Edmonds.
It is worth two pounds.
You can get 50% off, and it's quite rare.
See, I...
Well, what's your superpower?
Because maybe you can use that.
I get three extra time uses.
Do you?
At a table, so you don't have to take your time off.
Because that's his power.
Does that have to do with the veganism?
Yes, it is.
I just get a little bit longer on that.
It says...
They never shut up about it, do they?
Ash wastes...
I didn't bring it up.
I know.
Ash wastes no time.
If an item is good, it's good.
It's as simple as that.
He starts his adventure with 15 instead of the regular 12 time sections.
So you see on your little card, you've got three extra little zeros.
Yeah, use the extra three times.
So when do I call them into play?
Well, it just means that you have more time.
So if you stay at a table for two rounds, you tick them off.
But even though you've cut those off, you've still got three extra at the end.
So no matter when you run out of time when we run out of time you've got three more moves
okay so what I'm gonna say
is I'm definitely gonna buy
that
the Noel Edmonds book
Noel Edmonds book
so can I have the pen please
there you go
on your little sheet
write down
how much you've spent on it
so I'm crossing off a zero
yeah
that's a solid thing
how much was that
£2.50
I spent way too much
on that fucking
books of DVDs
how much did you spend well I've got £4.40? I spent way too much on that fucking box of DVDs. How much did you spend?
Well, I've got £4.40 left.
You've got this already?
So it says £2.40.
You've got £3.40.
It says £2.50 C2.
What does that mean?
£4.40.
£2.50.
Ash is asking you questions.
Sorry, what did you say?
It says £2.50 C2.
Hang on. What was the price item again? Paul, how many pounds did you start? It says 250C2. Hang on.
What was the item again?
Paul, how many pounds did you start with?
The book, it was two pounds.
You can get up to 50% off,
but that means you have crossed another zero off your time slip.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, no, I don't.
I spent two pounds.
That's absolutely fine.
So what do I write here?
You write down the item that you bought.
So if it's an old Edmunds book.
I mean, I don't know what you bought.
On here? Yeah. So down the item that you bought. So if it's the Noel Edmonds book. I mean, I don't know what you bought. Price paid, discount.
So I bought item 81.
Price paid was £2.
No, you took the extra time
so that it cost you £1
because you got the discount.
Oh, no, I didn't need to take the extra time
because it was only £2.
Are you keeping all this in the podcast?
Yeah.
Rarity.
I put some interesting music under it.
Rarity C, rating 2. I'm just wondering. Well, we're just playing it ad hoc. all this in the podcast yeah rarity music on the written rarity rating
just wondering
well we're just
playing it ad hoc
Paul
what
this is not a
successful segment
shut up
I'm really enjoying
this
of course you are
forget about the podcast
I'm loving this
yeah see
there you go
we've got to make it
interesting
maybe be a bit more
fucking funny
I'm hungover
yeah you're always
hungover
we've not recorded
an episode of
Cheap Show
where you've not been
hungover.
Yes, I still have.
I can't remember.
Last one.
Right, Mr Biffo,
it's now your turn
to read your section
and continue
on with this adventure.
Mr Biffo was an obvious choice.
An obvious choice,
ladies and gentlemen.
A bit too obvious,
ladies and gentlemen.
You have three options.
Take a closer look
at the stall on your left.
Go to 28.
The one on your right,
go to 53, or start walking towards the stalls ahead. I'm going to look at the stall on your left. Got a 28. The one on your right, got a 53.
Start walking towards the stalls ahead.
I'm going to look at the one on my left, 28.
Okay.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you read things out.
Mate, you know what?
I'm trying to be on your side here to get you a bit more leverage and cheap show,
and then you just keep throwing shit back in my face.
I wasn't necessarily criticising you.
Just get easy.
I know it's not like, oh, knob, gag, blah.
We're playing a game
and we're trying to entice people
until playing it.
Fucking hell.
Just calm down, dear.
I forgot what table I was at.
I was at 50, wasn't I?
Well, I'm at 28.
I don't remember what table we were at.
There's some reasonable items here.
You spot 43, 78 and XX.
You can now visit the table
on your far left,
go to 53.
The table on your right,
go to 49
or walk towards the central area of the sale
go to 25, I want to roll
some dice so I'm going to look at
XX, have a look at XX
XXX
81, 7
or you could do 78, it's up to you
oh yeah, that's a good point
white dice, alright so we set that rule
then, which of those dice would you
describe as white
yeah
considering there isn't one
there's a lighter one
than the other one
do you want to get involved
interesting
I don't know why
you're bringing this up
the trouble is
I don't see colour
okay
are you not
that's a lie
you fucking liar
that's a real affliction
that's a real affliction
people suffer from
well I'm going to go for 78
because I get a 50% discount on this huge stack of gaming magazines.
No, fuck, I'm not buying them.
Bollocks.
Do you know what I'd do now?
Talking of gaming.
Why don't you write them?
You don't have to.
In that case, I'm going to look at...
Oh, God, I've lost my page.
I've got a terrible pain In my thumb From playing the
Mario game
Yeah
On the 3DS
No he's got Mario 3D Land
That's my son's favourite game
Is it?
Not World
No
Mario 64 is his favourite game
Is it?
Yeah
Alright hang on
Stop shitting on the gaming community
What is your problem with this?
I'm going to buy 43
Sorry
Alright what's 43?
It's a pen knife
Stab people
Which is £1.50
£1.50
60% off
Are you taking the discount
Or are you just going to pay £1.50?
I don't get a discount for a pen knife
I feel like a pen knife
You can have a discount
Right
But it just means you take five
I think a pen knife is very much an Eli item
It's off your clock
Yeah a pen knife
So you don't have to have a discount
What is the aim of this game?
The aim is to buy three items
and at the end we rate them all
and someone will get
to the best points.
No, no, I don't need
the discount for this.
All right, okay,
now you can save it.
Right, it's back to me.
I was at table 50
and you can write down
your route on your card
so you don't forget
where you are.
50, right.
50.
So what do I do next?
Do I want to go to 45
or 57? I'm going to go 39. Everyone else walked next? Do I want to go to 45 or 57?
I'm going to go 39.
Everyone else walked ahead, so I'm going to go 39.
I'm over here.
There's a very old man standing behind this table.
Oh, you feel a bit sorry for him.
Uncle Gumbly.
You adjust your eyes and it's Eli.
What?
No, I didn't say that.
Can I just interrupt very quickly?
I realise I didn't make a choice at the end of my round.
I should have.
You can do that next though.
You've just got to remember where you are, what table you are.
Right.
There's an old man, and he's feeling a bit sorry for him.
Would you like to see my range of pots and jars
full of delectable, grumbly goodness?
I've got a chad disc.
I've got some nice...
I've got a dry chad disc here. I've got a nice ch disk. I've got some nice... I've got a dry chad disk here.
I've got nice chelf scat hybrid jam.
Chelf scat hybrid jam.
Yeah, that's good.
Created in the lab.
It's a little bit spicy,
but it's all a bit trickly down the throat.
Mate, can we just...
Could you just, please?
You have a car, us.
All right, listen.
You feel very sorry for him.
It's a cold day.
He has a healthy selection of items,
but most of it is out of your price range.
Oh, yeah.
You do spot 94 as well as X and X.
Now, where do you want to go?
All right, so what is 94?
94 is...
Is that on the items list?
Yeah, 94 is a top of the pops
1978 album
that is so
it's a quid
it's a quid
I'm getting that
that's a cannon
I'm getting that
I need to roll the dice
give me a pen
I'm writing that
is it my go
shut up
hello old man

you never used to
get real people
on the covers of
Top of the Pops
albums
no you didn't
they were just
nudie ladies
no they were the
albums
really
I think she's
talking about an
annual
yeah they were
nudie ladies
in Stripey Tops
there's some cover
versions on there
like session musicians
wow
to call them covers
is
so some were
better than the
originals
they're copies
they're sort of copies
yeah
yeah cover versions
imply the degree of creativity
yeah
that's what I mean
they're just copy records
right well I've bought that
apparently though
thank you very much old man
no thank you
yeah yeah
some of the early
Motown copy records
yeah
were
some of them were done
by Elton John
and David Bowie
oh really
when they were
and if you know
if you're in the know
about which ones
you can get a good
fanny penny
a fair penny
a fanny penny
you gotta get a
fanny penny
get a fair penny
would you have
a fanny penny
just come on
your go
where do you go next
I'm at 66
lucky you
oh
am I
no
hamburger boy I ate the burger didn't I yes oh I was at 70 sorry 56. Lucky you. Am I? No. Hamburger buy.
I ate the burger, didn't I?
Yes.
I was at 70, sorry.
You choose to buy the burger.
Not bad, actually.
Right.
Take a look at this lot.
The burger vendor hands you his suitcase.
Roll the dice and take a look at the corresponding items from the list of special items.
Oh, it's in a special suitcase.
S1 to 50 in the front of the magazine. Oh, look at them. Oh, special items. There's some crackers in a special suitcase. S1 to 50 in the front
of the magazine.
Oh, look at them.
Oh, special items.
There's some crackers
So what do I do?
I don't know.
Does it have numbers
for the items or the
old X's?
So what, do I roll
one dice or two?
Well, how many X's
are there?
Is it just a bunch
of numbers?
What number are you at?
It says roll the dice
and take a look at the
corresponding item from the list of special items. Right, in that case you just roll the dice and take a look at the corresponding item from the list
right in that case
you just roll the
dice and then you
how many of them
yeah there's a
problem because it
starts with one so
you can't roll one
on two dice
see what I mean
I'm confused
because you've got
items one to fifty
so if you roll you
can't roll one with
two dice
so does it tell you
how many to roll
I think it just
rolls one
why can't you
it was right there
and you couldn't even
roll it onto a table
it's now on the floor
because you tossed it
with the least amount
of interest possible
why don't we just
count that die
don't you count
the one on the floor
7-5
can you look it up
for me please Ash
which one number 7
7-5
no you're getting
a bit chummy

It only goes up to 50, but there's a list at the back and the front.
No, you're just going to worry about the first list.
That's it.
So should we just take the...
List A.
What number landed on the table?
Let's do that.
It was 75.
Only one die landed on the table, though, didn't it?
All right, well, then that was five.
Okay.
What do I get?
So you got a promo of One Step Beyond by Madness for two pounds. Oh, not bad. What, well then that was five. Okay. What do I get? So you got a promo of One Step Beyond
by Madness
for two pounds.
Oh, not bad.
What, where's that?
That's not number five.
I actually bought that.
Special item five.
Oh, special item five.
Oh.
Yes, see,
you got it wrong.
So your code for that
is two pounds,
zero discount,
R7.
Oh, he's doing well.
Two pounds, zero, R7. So, he's doing well. £2.
Zero.
R7.
So now that you've looked in my special suitcase, Sonny Jim,
would you like to put your penis in this hand of mine?
Step back and step forward. You've got a moral idea.
Why have I just gone to that?
Step back and step forward.
And then I'll make Mr. Whippy
all over my cream cones.
I'll tell you what, Mr. Old Man,
Old Pervert Man.
This is my broth cannon.
I just wanted to say that.
I used to have a big gun
that shot out Matt Goss into the air.
It was my broth cannon. I regret that. a big gun that shot out Matt Goss into the air it was my Bross cannon
yeah
I regret that
I can see that
I regret that
I can see the
the look in your eyes
but the thing is
getting closer to
I don't get it
I was off with a joke
but that's the point
it's like
I'm making a joke
about these jokes
all I'm doing is
riffing on a boring pun
and I've ruined it
riffing on a boring pun
much better thaniffing on a boring pun.
Much better than Riffing on a...
Street chaff.
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
Street chaff.
Mmm.
It's salty doggy goodness.
Owner of some lonely chaff.
Oh, you could twist it.
Owner of some bony chow.
Bony chow.
Good.
Chow on the bone?
Yeah, on the bone.
Kentucky Fried Chow.
Oh, I'd love a bucket of chow.
My wife cooked this chow.
Fucking kids better eat the fucking chow.
Sundays are family time.

it's like game time
is not real time
but I've crossed off 50 minutes
and we've been doing half an hour
I've only crossed off one zero
is that correct
yeah yeah
I haven't done anything it's because I did a gamble and then I moved hour. I've only crossed off one zero. Is that correct? Yeah, I haven't done anything.
It's because I did a gamble and then I moved and stuff.
I haven't crossed off anything.
You should have
crossed off two at least.
Two zeros. No, three, sorry, three.
Because you had to move to the van, Rob, and take it.
I've had a burger.
You're looking at a very
cluttered set of tables.
The lady behind the table enthuses.
Each item five quid or less.
Oh, lovely man.
You spot five, 29 and 54.
Oh.
You have four options next.

Good choice, Ash.
I'll tell you the code.
That was...
Cut the pen.

A misprint of Relayer by Yes.
Also... Where's the misprint?
I went to see Yes in concert with my dad.
Did you?
It was incredible.
Yeah.
Really?
I got in trouble at a Yes concert
because I used to work at Wembley Stadium,
Wembley Arena.
It's a long story.
What did you do
I may have been there
did you go and see them
my best friend
growing up
was the son of
Steve Howe
the guitarist from Yes
what
I've been on tour with them
dun dun dun
Eli's not a boring prick
no I'm not
look they both
I met Jeff Downs
ex-wife in a pub
now that's a story
oh no that was a story, yeah.
She was bitter.
Really?
Yeah.
Rick Wakeman was at the gig.
Yeah.
He was playing keyboard.
Obviously.
Doing all that.
But I went with my dad just because it was like,
yeah, yeah, I'll come with you.
And then it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to.
Oh, really?
It was great.
And they did loads of talking in between.
Oh.
When was this? Recently? I reckon we're to. Oh, really? It was great. And they did loads of talking in between. When was this?
Recently?
I reckon we're pushing 10 years ago.
10 years ago.
Because they don't talk to each other.
The Rick and John Anderson half don't talk to the other half.
Oh, it was Rick and John Anderson.
It was.
Yeah.
Right.
Great.
Now we're talking about, yes.
Prog.
Prog Paul.
Prog Paul.
Mate, it was genuinely amazing.
I find prog, by and large, interminable nonsense.
I'm sorry.
You're listening to Cheap Show.
Yeah, well, that is
interminable nonsense.
Good.
That's true.
Do you want to shake the hand?
Okay, let's do a podcast.
Why don't the two of you
do a podcast about it?
I'm just trying to grab
the Yes album.
You've got to get the Yes album.
I'm trying to grab the Yes album.
A voice comes from behind.
Hey, you can't have that.
I reserved that.
Throw one die.
If you throw zero to five, it turns out the record was indeed reserved.
Stop eating crisps!
You put them near us, we're fat.
This is thrilling.
What did I roll?
I can't even open them.
A six. You got a six. Does that mean you get the album?
I throw to six and I have, it turns out the git was lying and you have first dibs to purchase it.
Let's play that out.
That's my lattice, I put dibs on it.
I'll stick my broth cannon around the whole winky hole and...
Barbara, hold the phone.
I'm just going to get me nosh socked.
What?
Nosh socked?
Oh, dear.
That's not even...
My sock nosh.
Is that what you meant?
Me wobbly sock nosh.
Oh, there you go.
That's better.
Did you buy it?
I got chicken stock coming out of my mouth.
Write it down.
Such an insight.
Write it down.
Such an insight to you then, Paul.
You were so disappointed with something that didn't land.
You got a laugh on your face.
I want to get my nosh sock.
How much does it cost?
And you livened up.
How much does it cost?
Two pounds.
How do you know?
Because it says on the list.
All right, grab the pen.
SO7.
I'll give you the code for it
to write down.
It is this.
Right, it's two pound.
No discount.
R
seven.
Right?
That's what I've written down already.
You couldn't have
because...
Oh, no, I did...
Hang on, I've looked it up.
No, it's seven.
No, no, it's...
Oh, no, they're exactly the same code.
Ah.
Ah, they're exactly the same code. Fuck, I thought I was having a mental fart then. So, because they're both records., they're exactly the same code. Ah. Ah, they're exactly the same code.
Fuck, I thought I was having a mental fart then.
So, because they're both records?
All the records have the same code?
Yeah, maybe.
I don't know.
Or it's just coincidence you happen to get those two codes.
Right, Mr Biffo, go to another stall and roll the dice.
Right, 29, I was...
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Right, I'm going to go to the left.
No, I'm not.
I'm going to go on the one on the right, which is 94.
Oh, 94, 94.
I might have to do
a little burp in a minute
do it
94 stall
large stall
near the eastern entrance
of the sale
there's some gaming stuff
oh
here as well
it's 45
75
come on then
let's see what that is
that is a
90's Super Mario cap
ooh
do you like that
oh yes
would I like that
would you like that
no
it'd be rubbish I wouldn't have it but I love Mario what do you like that oh yes would I like that would you like that no it'd be grubby
I wouldn't have it
but
I love Mario
what do you think
the design is
just a face of Mario
on the people
or is it a classic
Mario
oh I see
maybe
let's say it's that
because it's more interesting
than just a baseball cap
I couldn't put a hat
on my head
that was from a boots out
no
all on the world
why
I'm really bad
because it just has bits of dead man's scalp on it head that was from my boots out. No. All underwear. Why? I'm really bad with it. It just has bits of
dead man's scalp
on it. Is that when you spit
squeamish? Yeah. It's just a bit
of old flaky dead guy's head. Or if it was a Mario hat
it'd probably be like a dead child's hat.
Scalp, scalp. That he pulled from the wreckage
and dusted it off and went
we can sell that.
Poor little Timmy's.
Timmy's dead.
I have to say that children's funerals.
Waste not what not.
He had quite a lot of gaming.
Oh, it's a really, really sad situation,
but that Neo Geo is worth quite a lot of money.
To think we buried him in his Mario costume.
Oh, well.
Guys.
All right, 45.
Fucking hell.
45 is... Oh, well. Guys. Right, 45. Fucking hell. 45 is...
Oh, it's a new...
It's a set of four new
alkaline AA batteries.
For God's sake,
I'm only finding the
worst things at this market.
I've got a couple of records.
60 is...
A jar of homemade
elderberry jam.
That's for me.
Elder Jerry Van.
Elder Jerry Jam. Oh! He's the old bloke who lives at the end of the road. Elder Jerry.
He's the old bloke who lives at the end of the road.
Elder Jerry.
He wants an Elder Jerry jam.
I've done it.
I'm chatting it up.
That is 18. 18 is...
Well, I'm going to have to buy that, aren't I?
Yeah.
It's £3.
Where's the pen?
I've unplugged my mic.
I don't know how long that was for.
Was it on there?
I don't know if it was that long ago.
Is it on DVD?
I know it's on Blu-ray.
Yeah, I know.
I saw it in the shop.
Did you?
Good.
I did a sort of CEX, Quest for the Game Child.
Did you?
That's amazing.
Also, thanks for taking my role in that.
Some friend you turned out to be.
It was a great shoot.
It was good.
It was funny, wasn't it?
I kept cracking...
Cracking what?
Cracking you up.
You did.
It was very, very difficult.
We had a real moment.
We really bonded on that shoot.
Yeah, it was funny.
I loved it because
everyone was there.
Go get your fucking podcast.
Eli was there. Right. Everyone was there. whole team go get your fucking podcast Eli was there
right
Stuart Ashton was there
shut up
we're doing the scores
do you remember when we really laughed
we laughed so hard
about how bad the food was
no
let me tell this story
as a true story
the food was out
and I'd never been on a shoot before
and so
someone
I think Stuart said
oh there's food there you can go get it.
So I went up and they just wouldn't look at me.
And I was standing there on my own.
And they were like, oh, there's vegan food there.
So I went up and waited and waited.
And then after about five minutes, she went,
oh, will all the crew get served first?
Of course they do.
I didn't know that as a thing.
So I walked back over and went, you absolute arsehole.
What is anyone saying
I didn't know the rules
you broke
I didn't know the rules
on set etiquette
I didn't know the rules
she weren't missing much
the food was extremely
discouraging on that show
however
I am now on IMDB
yeah
because of the Ashen's movie
yeah
are you in the new one
yes
yeah yeah we're in right let's move on to the scoreboard Yeah. Because of the Asher's movie. Yeah. Are you in the new one? Yes.
Yeah, we're in.
Right, let's move on to the scoreboard.
Yeah, I took Paul's role.
Oh, that's the one we're talking about?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Were you in the original?
No, no, no, I wasn't in the original. But they said, they were like,
oh, it's sad that Paul couldn't be in it,
but we are pleased because Ash did such a good job.
He did do a good job. Thank good job he did do a good job
thank you
he did do a good job
oh look at Paul
right the best way to score
is the maximum ranking
if there's two or more
god it paid well
no that's not true
I'll be honest
it paid much
it did
I was genuinely surprised
how much
I hold up fingers
go on
shut up
we're going to do the score
I wish you had
so here's how we do it
alright
I'm going to get through this
very quickly
by price
how much
you score one price point
for every 10%
of a discount
you've got a bargain for
with a maximum
of 5 of each item
so if you've got a discount
of 50%
and you've got
you get 5 bonus
so if you get 60%
you can only get 5 bonus because that's as much as you can get so I got a discount of 50% and you got you get 5 bonus so if you get 60% you can only get 5 bonus
because that's as much
as you can get
so I got
a discount of 60%
so that means
I get 5 points
did you
how many
how many discounts
did you get over the course
of the game
I had a burger
and then I bought some records
what's your discount though
did you get any discount
did you get a discount
I don't know
I've got
you didn't write it down
I've got
Eli gets no points there
I don't think he got a discount did you get a discount no discount did you get a discount? Did you get a discount? He didn't write it down. So Eli gets no points there. I don't think he got a discount.
Did you get a discount?
No discount.
Did you get a discount?
I don't know.
I don't know what that means.
Next.
So far, I'm winning.
Oh, surprise, surprise.
For each common item, you get one point.
If you get an uncommon, it's two points.
Rare is three.
And extraordinary is E.
What's the key on that?
R.
If it's R, it's rare, right? Yeah, so what have you got? what's the key oh i've got oh
it's rare right yeah so
what have you got that's
the letter i know i see
write down your i see yeah
common that's so that's
a point i don't know what
i've written on that other
one that's a point you
that's all common so that's
two so that means you've
got three points so
remember three points i'll
do three points before
three i have what did i have was it common was you've got three points so remember three points I'll do three points Biffo three
I have
what did I have
was it common
was one point
right
so did you get any discounts
no you didn't
we're talking about that
so what items did you get
did you get
I got two C's
two C's
that's two points
for you
so Ash is
two
and Eli
two R's
two R's
oh
so that is...
It's a misprint.
Relayer.
Misprint.
Must have been recalled.
I know some of their 12s.
Eli has six points so far.
Down by the edge, close to the water.
Right, so here we go.
Next way, the fourth and final way to score is by the point...
So far away.
So far away. Dun, dun. Fourth and final way to score is by the point. So far away. So far away.
Dum, dum.
Fourth and final way.
Next way is, we've done that.
Fourth and final way is amount of time left on the clock.
We won't do that, so that's fine.
So, all right.
So, okay.
Rankings.
Biffo got three.
Paul got five.
Ash got two.
Eli got six.
Eli wins this game.
Yes.
Thank you. Well deserved. Well deserved. got two Eli got six Eli wins this game yes thank you however
on the ranking scale
we've done badly
we were 0-20
so we're squashed
flea
you're a flea market
lightweight
but we didn't play
the game to the end
but boy did you
come close
we basically stinged it
didn't we
we started playing it
and then we just
stopped right before the end
I mean there's more points
but that's fucking it
I like it.
Absolutely beautiful piece of stuff.
Well, we didn't exactly do it justice, but we did try our best.
I loved it.
If you would like to get hold of this, you can.
Why did you hold your crotch when you said that?
If you want to get hold of this.

chowf fun St Peter
chicken chowf crazy The game was fantastically conceived by Yvonne.
It was a real piece of work.
Amazing, the amount of detail.
Go into the scenarios.
We didn't really do it justice.
We only had limited time.
But, I mean, Biffo did sort of...
He didn't really put his heart into it at all.
He did sort of...
He livened up when he saw the dice,
because he's that kind of strange person who gets off on that.
Ash still, I think, was not really playing it to his full ability paul
again it just didn't come across and obviously i won uh because you know i mean if we're gonna
extrapolate the metaphor of the game i win cheap show don't i basically you know i win it with my
rare records and stuff they're worth more interesting an item that has been overlooked
for so long came up during our
playthrough the uh the glass boiled sweet which just didn't get its due then and hasn't now and
is a great item and i think whose memory should should it should keep popping up the glass boiled
sweet absolutely love the cheap show game incredible to see myself uh in such in such a way. I just started getting into RPGs,
so to actually play my first ever RPG,
and I was actually one of the characters,
was amazing.
I've been listening to a lot of podcasts
and stuff about RPGs,
and I've wanted to play them for ages.
The artwork's incredible.
The whole game is phenomenal.
Really love it.
And I know that my boy,
who was at the car boot was
lovely to get a little mention in there as well so it was great and it brought us all together
briefly yeah i mean i've ended an amazing job you know i did struggle with some of the rules i mean
words aren't really my forte but you know i hope that we'll be able to focus on it and some of the
weird atmosphere in the room would uh you know room would be taken care of as we played.
At this point, I'd kind of given up on the show, to be fair.
Eli Cockahoopin, Biffo, seemingly dejected and upset.
Ash, offering nothing once again.
So I thought, let's just do a pricey shot and get out of here.
But you know what?
I knew there was something up.
They were all behaving suspiciously before I started recording.
There was something going on.
And on reflection, I should have been a bit more suspicious
because I got fucking done over.
So yeah, here's the bit.
Here's the segment.
Here's the reveal.
If you listen to this and you can't respect me afterwards, then fine.
Abandoned cheap show.
But just know that what I did,
I did when I was young and foolish.
They're delicious, by the way.
Why are they £1.90?
What an odd price.
Yeah, right.
I don't know what their mark appears to be.
Because it makes you think, oh, it's not.
Our corner shop.
It's only £1.90.
It's not £1.10.
I'm really trying to support
my local corner shop
rather than going to Tesco at the moment.
They sell loads of stuff.
But they had BrewDog,
which I really like BrewDog.
They had BrewDog on the shelf,
which was, I think,
two for three pound.
And then they had BrewDog,
the same BrewDog,
in the freezer,
in the fridge, sorry,
that wasn't on offer
but they only had one
Punk IPA left, so I took that one
off the shelf, from the two for three pound
and I took one from the fridge
and I put them on the thing and he said
that's five pound or whatever it was
I went, oh no I think they're two for three
pound, he went, these ones are
but these ones aren't, and so you have to pay
full price for both.
Well,
yes.
So I went,
but why?
He went,
no,
it's like the ones on the shelf are cheaper.
I was like,
but it's the same,
but cooler.
And I've got to walk home anyway.
So they're going to be warm by the time you get back.
It's not going to be.
And,
but then,
so I find it really difficult to,
the confrontation, I would just pay. So you stabbed him to death. I had to i find it really difficult to the confrontation i would just
pay so you stabbed him to death to kill him but then the the um managers the they all seem to be
the owners but this guy come over and went this is ridiculous like of course he can have them for
two three pound and then the other guy was like well okay on this occasion you can do it on this
occasion and then every time I go in there since
that bloke definitely
holds it against me
that I got the deal
that he was belittled
wow
right we're playing
price of shopping

Cheesy chips are fine, but a bit plain.
Nice big bag.

Beef balls?
Chicken nuggets.
Chicken balls, they're tiny.

They're nice.
There you go.
Unofficially, we've been sponsored by bobbies.

Paul, aren't you?
Why don't you just

I'll be presenting
three items.
Each one has
a particular price.
I'll be asking our guests
to choose the price.
No, choose the price.
Choose the price?
Would you like me to do it?
I'll pay nothing.
I'll choose the price.
I'll pay for the context
of the show.
Yeah, let Biffo do it
because you are just as shit

Please stop saying mint on card.
Mint on card! Mint on card!
Stop saying mint on card.
I'll just punch you. Why?
Constant violence. Constant threat.
Constant threat of attack. Do you know what I mean?
This is like one of those things
where there's tension in the zone.
You know what I mean?
It's like...
Tension in the zone.
Oh, I've got a bit of tension in the zone.
Excuse me, doctor.
I've got a bit of tension in the zone.
You know what I mean, though?
Where there's like a...
Did you just sing Top Gun?
Yeah.
Oh, sorry.
I was about to do the same thing.
Was there a song for Top Gun?
Yeah, Danger Zone by... Gonna take you right into Gun? Yeah. Oh, sorry. I was about to do the same thing. Was there a song for Top Gun? Yeah, Danger Zone by...
Gonna take you right into the tension zone.
Oh, you're a maverick.
Sitting on top of the bay.
Tone me down, maverick.
Sitting on the dock of the bay,
not the top of the bay.
I've got a video game going.
Ladies and gentlemen,
I thought Untitled Goose Game
was a sequel to Top Gun.
You've already alienated yourself from the gaming community.
Have you heard of that game?
Have you heard of that phone game?
It's Crossy Roadie.
What's it called?
What?
Chicken Crossy Roadie.
No, it is called something like that.
Yeah, yeah.
Crossy Road.
Yeah.
Right.
It's shit, isn't it?
Quite addictive.
I thought there was going to be a punchline coming, but...
No.
Would you play it?
I played it briefly.
Yeah, I will say that I did play it.
Because you're trying to better your score, aren't you?
It's those things.
I'll cross that road.
One trip grip.
Bullet point.
Shopping bags.
Bullet point.
Dry cleaning.
Bullet point.
Buckets and pails.
Look, I'll show them.
It's a big plastic...
Comfortable soft grip handle. Try me. There you go'll show them. It's a big plastic handle. Comfortable, soft grip handle.
Try me.
There you go.
But I don't know what's going on.
So you put all your shopping bags on that one piece?
Yes.
I'd do that anyway.
It's a big plastic handle that you hook your shopping bags on and carry.
I like that actually.
It's not a bad little thing though.
It's got good cushions, rubber grip.
I do the thing where I...
Ergonomically, with the little...
Notches.
Notches.
Notches for the hands.
We've all had that.
We're just notches.
You just said that.
We've all had...
So did I.
You both just said that.
Thank you very much.
You both should be proud of it.
I've had that experience.
We've all had that experience.
I remember my nan's fingers.
That sounds creepy. I remember my nan's fingers. That sounds creepy.
I remember my nan's fingers.
Magic hands she had.
What do you remember about them?
Well, look at you.
What's up?
Are you alright, Paul?
It went down the wrong hole.
What? Biffo's nan's fingers?
Not there, man!
I don't know why you're northern.
Yeah, she was.
I'm fine, ladies and gentlemen, I'm fine.
You put your finger in me.
What was it about your nan's fingers?
Well, like the bags cutting into them.
I remember seeing the marks on the...
Yeah, because she didn't have one of these.
One trick bit.
Mark, mark.
No.
That's seen on TV.
It's difficult as
well when old
ladies' fingers.
Yeah, because
they don't spring
back.
It wouldn't spring
back.
She'd just have
like notched
fingers.
And that's what I
remembered.
The ridges, the
canyons.
It says as seen
on TV in some
countries.
You'd expect it to
be in some
countries.
I saw this in Iran.
In no countries.
Give it to these to have a look at
so they can evaluate.
They'll be looking at the price.
I mean, it's a cheap piece of...
It's quite grubby as well.
It's been about...
Mint on...
It's still mint on corn,
but it's been about a bit.
Some nan's already had her fingers on it.
I think he's...
A nan's not going to get that kind of grip with a...
That's the trouble with that.
I don't think it's necessarily for grannies.
Lube my get a grip.
You'd have to use some sort of silicon
lube. Lube my one-trip grip.
You're alright over there.
That would most benefit
a man, but
you're going to need strong fingers.
Or it might just be a mother
with a big family. It says it can hold 50 pounds
capacity, but the thing is... it can hold 50 pounds capacity.
But the thing is... Can you lift 50 pounds?
You couldn't lift it.
You couldn't physically lift it.
It might be a big burly lifter.
22 kg.
Kilograms.
Oh, I've got the whole scenario.
I've got the whole scenario.
Oh, I'm an out-of-work strongman.
I'm watching the telly.
What's that?
That will solve my shopping issues,
and I can easily lift 50 pounds.
Streetchuff.com.
Streetchuff?
Chuff.
Streetchuff is something else.
Yeah, that's something else.
I went down the shop the other day,
and I got a half pound of streetchuff.
And it was right chubby streetchuff.
Chubby muff.
Sounds like I'm going to have that.
Chubby muff.
You're struggling with street chuff.
Right, we need a price then.
We need a price for those.
Yes, what do you think?
Was it second hand, Paul?
Yes, it was. I can't remember what do you think was it a second hand yes it was
I can't remember
what the charity shop
was though now
because I got it
a few weeks ago
what did one of those
go for new
probably about
three quid
I reckon
£7.99
that kind of thing
£7.99
£7.99 that much
that's two quid
what's their budget
overall for these
I think I spent
like no more than
like a five a full stop
on all of us
okay
I say you got that
for a quid yeah quid quid right I say you got that for a quid.
Yeah, quid.
Quid.
Right, okay, so you're saying quid.
Quid, Dunk.
All right, fine, fair enough.
Next item.
Is it a piss ant?
Oh, I'm a little piss ant.
You know what I like?
Cooling up streams of piss.
Doesn't matter if the cow's still there.
What?
Cow?
I'll be sniffing.
Well, the cow is pissed
Oh, yeah
Well, thank you for coming in for the audition, Mr Silverman
We don't think you're quite right for the role
Oh, look, these look good
I'm going to give them to Ash and Biffo to have a look at
This is two items, but it's one price
Investigate
Oh, you can look at that one, Ash
It's a cassette?
Yeah, a cassette
Laugh along with Benny Hill
Yeah
I'll be the judge of that
This is all his early stuff actually
I checked up online because you can't find this
audio on YouTube for example
so I looked it up and it's all songs taken from his
early BBC show
And that was quite different in tone to his later work
It's 25 minute long if you judge by the
Yeah, well it's 25 minutes
each side isn't it?
No, that'd be 50 minutes
Wait, how long? 25 minutes each side? Yeah, that, it's 25 minutes each side, isn't it? No, that'd be 50 minutes. Wait, how long?
25 minutes each side?
Yeah, that'd be... Shut up!
Basic maths with Paul.
There's no such thing as basic maths with Paul.
But yeah, all the songs are taken from his early 60s BBC comedy show.
This is made by Ditto, two cassette pack.
Yeah.
One of those songs is a Bob Dylan pastiche.
In the papers, yes.
I had Jasper Carrot's...
Carrot's Lib.
Is it true that Jasper Carrot invented Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
Salador did.
His company did.
His company did.
And he's the father of that Otto face out of The Office, isn't he?
Ricky Gervais?
Yeah.
He's the father of Ricky Gervais.
No, he's the father of the woman who was in it, who plays the secretary, isn't he?
Yeah, Dawn.
Dawn. I owned this cassette. Which one? Carrot's Lib. Carrot's Lib when I was a child. No, he's the father of the woman who was in it, who plays the secretary, isn't it? Yeah, Dawn or Lucy.
I owned this cassette.
Which one? Carrot's Lib?
Carrot's Lib when I was a child.
Did you?
And I used to listen to it.
What was your favourite track?
There was the diet bit.
Dieting, yeah.
It goes about the F-Plan.
The F-Plan diet.
And then there's this.
This, right?
This is the F-Plan diet.
This book is a bestseller. It's another new diet but there is a, it's got a twist.
It's a whole concept and it's, well the concept of the F Plan Diet is that there's so much roughage in the food that they tell you to eat,
it's hardly got the time to do anything to you before, like, it's out.
You might just as well get your dinner
and flush it down the bar.
Here's some of the recommended meals they insist you eat, right?
Poached egg with baked beans.
Baked beans on toast.
Bacon and baked beans.
Fish fingers and baked beans.
Baked bean nest.
Baked beans with cheese.
Baked beans au gratin.
Curried drumstick with curried beans.
Baked beans with mushrooms.
Curried beans in pitta pocket
chilli beef
and beans
frankfurter
bean baked
corned beef
with baked beans
no wonder
they call it
the F plan
and he goes
the F plan
diet
because you eat
loads of cabbage
and it's the F plan
oh so you fart
fart
and that was
the kind of level
he was on
imagine being a stand up in the 80s
I know
You would have swept up
Genuinely
Swept up all the cash
Yeah
I think that's what that
I think that's what that was referring to
Cleaned up
There's a track on a test tube
Parents
And one called Changing Tyres
Oh and Tony Benn
Which is the hot satire
of the time. I bet you found that funny as a
kid, didn't you? I did not know who Tony Benn was.
Tony Benn is not
fit to run the country. Is that a child me?
Is that a child me?
I mean, I changed my laptop.
Tony Benn, was he a labourer?
Yeah. So why was he fit to run the country
back then? They would have been all over. I don't know.
It was just a thing. Jasper Carrow wasn't a Tory, was he fit to run the country back then they would have been all over I don't know it was just a thing
Jasper Carrick
wasn't a story
was he
I didn't get that
vibe from him
now he's sold
the rights to
what's been
in there
for 300 million
Carrick's Lip
was a live
Saturday night
comedy show
Jasper Carrick
did with inserts
so it was satirical
so it must have
taken on some
of the stories
of the time
do you remember
one of the big famous bits
was about how
when you finish washing up
and you let the water out
there's always a teaspoon
no
that was a huge bit
of material
but if you thought
of the equivalent thing now
be it a sock
there's always a sock
yeah
imagine thinking
bear in mind
this guy was on TV
are you workshopping
some stand up up right now
kind of the opposite
of that
if I thought
if that hadn't been said
and I was at home
and I went
why is there always
a spoon left
and I went
I'm going to try that
on stage
and they were always
a spoon left
and people go
fuck off
boom
I know it's like
why there's a spoon left
because you're doing
the washing up
and there's
I don't get it
and they're small
the small stuff
talk about the airport food right airport food and there's, you know, I don't get it. Yeah, and they're small. Yeah, of course. Hey, hey, the small stuff's...
Talk about the airport food, right?
The airport food.
Airport food.
Airplane food.
I'll tell you what he did.
Magic roundabout.
Airport food like
mac and mums or something.
Yeah, not listening to us.
We're just having
our own conversation.
Yeah, go on.
What about a magic roundabout?
Jasper Carrot's magic roundabout.
You remember that?
Yes.
That routine.
Yes.
What was that?
What did he say about the...
It's about being stuck
in the roundabouts
in Kemmel Hempstead.
No, he did a whole episode.
It was a B-side.
It was a B-side of Funky Moped.
Yes, that's where I know it from.
Yeah, and it had swearing in it.
It was like, oh, piss off, Zebedee.
Yeah.
So both of these cassettes feature...
Oh, it was about the Magic Roundabout.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
It wasn't like an observational bit
about being stuck in traffic.
No, no, it was him doing a funny episode
of Magic Roundabout
with swearing in it
yeah
he had a good way
with the word pillock
didn't he
yeah
my favourite bit of his stand up
might have been
him hunting the mole
that's quite a famous bit of stand up
where he's trying to get a mole
in his garden
and he tries different ways
he goes
oh moley
and he's shotgunning
it's all hell
isn't it funny
that we all remember
bits of his routine
I couldn't tell you anything from any stand up that's on TV now no because they have to churn through it so much don't they He goes, oh, moly! And a shotgun and it's all here. Isn't it funny that we all remember bits of his routine?
I couldn't tell you anything from any stand-up that's on TV now.
No, because they have to churn through it so much, don't they?
There were only about five stand-ups back in the 70s and 80s, you see.
Dave Allen and... Also, Jasper Carrick did love to do that insurance form section in his stand-up.
He goes, I saw the kindly face of an old gentleman
as it bounced off the bonnet of my car.
Would we have seen
that repeated over and over
different shows,
same routine?
Maybe.
Because I remember that.
So I think we had
quite a lot.
just watch it at the same time.
Yeah,
he had quite a large repertoire though
and a lot of comedy albums
as well.
Yeah,
but I didn't have comedy albums.
So would I have just seen him
do that routine?
Because imagine that again.
Imagine seeing a comedian
doing it again and again and again. You go go you've seen it yeah well that's the interesting
thing about Benny Hill is that for all his reputation he got in the 80s of the dirty old
man thing his BBC show was satirical and had some interesting characters and songs and then
because he got lazy he would recycle characters and sketches over and over so the sketches he
was doing then turned up in 1989's version of the show, but cruder.
And the fashion editor tells us
that the necklines are getting real bold.
They're wearing the new religious look.
It's sort of low and behold.
Now the necklines are getting lower
and the skirts go up each week.
I don't know where it's all leading,
but I'd like to be there when they meet
I know it's true
I know it's right
It's in the papers
Black and white
Now a nervous new rent collector
Got the wind up the very first day
He said, boss, there's a man at the building
With a bitch for it firing my way His boss said, boss, there's a man at the building with a pitchfork firing my way. His boss
said, but all of my tenants
are very high class and well bred.
He was probably holding a
pitchfork because he'd been
making the pitchfork. I know it's true.
I know it's true. I know it's
right. I know it's right.
It's in the papers. It's in the papers.
Black and white.
So he's Benny Hill's an introvert. And I'd say there's a lot of good stuff on that cassette.
I think he was a great physical sort of clown
and some of those silent ones
that don't have the large-breasted women in
are good.
I found his face annoying.
Even as a kid, I found Benny Hill's face.
You know, he'd do that turn to camera
and do a kind of... I always had a real problem with spectacles. I always, even as a kid, I found Benny Hill's face. You know, you do that turn to camera and do a kind of...
Yeah.
I always had a real problem with spectacles.
You know, like round glasses.
I genuinely had a weird...
What, general?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Not Benny Hill's.
No, but he did it.
Anyone with spectacles,
you found frightening.
I found it very, very uncomfortable.
Anyone with spectacles.
Why?
I don't know.
Because it's like fetish
makes the eye into a vagina.
What? It's like... into a vagina. What?
It's like...
Vagina.
Here's an interesting thing.
Whenever someone says to you they've got an allergy or a fear or something,
you then go, it's because vagina, right?
Because you say that about my fish thing.
So what I'm thinking is, your fish thing,
because I can't eat fish, he goes...
He's allergic, finger quotes.
Because of vaginas.
Yeah.
I'm beginning to wonder if it's you who has
a thing with vaginas
and you put that thing
onto others
to see how they react.
Vagina dentata.
Vagina dentata,
such a wonderful word.
See,
I was going to say
that was their best album
of the 80s.
It wasn't as good
as Toya Wilcox, though.
I say vagina,
you say dentata.
Vagina.
Dentata.
Vagina.
Dentata.
Let's have the whole
lot spoffed.

That's a...
This is a blank desk.
Why don't you...
Desk, not desk.
It's a blank desk.
Hey, everyone, let's just start with a blank desk.
What is this?
Would you...
I think you should explain that to maybe us.
What?
I just...
I'm not sure this is a good idea
actually
there should be
around here somewhere
I've been having
second thoughts
a little board game
really
I think we need to
do we just leave
it at two items
no no
where have you put
the board game
and what's this
because you've
obviously done this
don't worry about
the board game
just leave it at two items
Paul do you know
what's on it
no I don't know what's on it
what is this
I don't think we should be doing this now
Paul
I think you should
I'm not sure
Eli let's just leave it
I know
I think this needs to be
alright well then where's the board game
discussed
because it's something that
the board
don't worry about the board game
yeah
yeah
so what is this
put it in
put the disc in the laptop
you know what it is
I don't know what the laptop
fine Paul you don't have to it's. Let's all see what it is. I don't know what the lap...
Fine.
You don't have to...
It's fine.
I want to see this.
I'm interested to see what it is.
We want to clear it up.
We need to clear this up.
Hang on.
I hope it's cleared up.
Oh, God.
I hope this has been cleared up.
Shut up.
I want to see what it is.
Is it this?
It's got one filing.
What is this?
this. But there are other sexual proclivities that are just as strange as Ian's. This is Paul, and he's agreed to speak to us about his own strange kink. Born in the northwest of England,
Paul now resides in Bournemouth, where he works as a video games journalist. For him, his unusual attraction began only a few years ago.
Yeah, it was a few years into my life at university, and it was just a weird night.
I was just coming out of a relationship. I was drinking.
relationship I was drinking and one day when I was just stoned I was flicking through the TV channels and Rosie and Jim came on and I don't know what it was
but I found myself really attracted to those puppets so I touched myself and
then it kind of went from there really I just found that I was attracted and turned on
by puppets
and things like that
I don't know where it came from
all I know is that
it's been
it's been a big part of my
sexual activity
in life lately
and I really enjoy it I don't really see the problem.
Although agglomatophilia specifically refers to a sexual attraction to dolls or mannequins,
Paul's desire of hand puppets at least allows him a lot of variety.
Oh, I've got no end of choice really with the things I like. Ed the Duck, Gordon the Gopher, Orville, sometimes Roland Ratt, but it's usually more Errol.
I really don't mind. It depends on my mood on the day, you know.
Sometimes it could be Sutty and Sweep, sometimes it could be, oh, I don't know, Punch and Judy.
You know what I mean? doesn't uh it it all depends
on how i'm feeling that day but uh yeah no i i am almost spoiled for choice when it comes to getting
off on hand puppets um you know just a little bit of imagination goes a long way with um
these kind of things and uh soty especially is a proper dirty old boy. What does his fiancee think? Oh well I've not actually
told my fiancee about this it's never really come up and usually when I'm neck deep in a
muppet she's out the house or at work so I I don't think she needs to know, really, at the end of the day,
because it doesn't affect our lovemaking at all.
She does find it funny sometimes when I ask her to say,
Izzy, Wizzy, let's get busy.
But I'm pretty sure she takes it as a joke and not,
and really doesn't hint at what I get up to.
Paul swears his addiction to sex with hand puppets doesn't get in the way of his life or relationship,
but by looking into his sad, desperate eyes, we can't help but feel he doesn't have much of a life,
and possibly not much of a relationship to begin with.
Paul is currently trying to get his hands on a screen-used 1984 sooty puppet.
I mean, if I can get that, that would be great.
That would be wonderful.
But at the moment, it's just a dream.
It's just a dream.
Where did you get this from? Was that literally... No, where did you get this from?
Was that literally No where did you get this from?
I don't think that's the question
Shut up
Yeah it did
What?
Seriously
It doesn't have to come out Paul
Where did you get this?
I don't want to know
So it is you who fucking done this
What do you think it's funny?
It's you who've done this
What do you mean me doing this?
Are you pulling a string of sausages out of your arse?
No, I'm not
It was some...
That is what you're doing
No, shut up, let me tell you what happened
You're getting Mrs Punch to pull a string of sausages out of your arse
I don't think we should kink shame, Paul
I think it needs to come out
You know what, I used to like sooty, Paul
After I've seen that, I've seen...
You think this is funny?
Is this what you thought this would be a good way to end the 150?
Sooty going down.
By embarrassing me like this.
I can't have this go out.
I write for children's TV.
It's made me reconsider performing fat sow.
It's not going to go out, is it?
I can't.
It's not going to go out, is it?
I can't be associated with you being a puppet perv.
If I perform fat sow and then you do the oinkment bit where you rub oinkment on.
Yeah, is this Paul's?
Are you actually getting off, Paul?
What happened was?
No, it's actually quite disturbing.
No, what happened?
Let me fucking talk.
Well, I feel like I'm...
Let me fucking talk.
I did this just after coming out of university.
That's what Sweep said.
Sweep said let me talk.
You gagged him.
Yeah, you gagged him with your metus.
I was coming out of university
A friend was making
A documentary
He said
We do me a favour
And just pretend
To have this thing
It didn't look like that
You acted really well
I've never seen you
Act like that
You need to get rid
Of all copies of this
Think as well
It's not going to get out
It's a digitiser
What was one of those
You think about that
Where did you get this from
A goblin
Who gave you this footage
You were boffing yourself
Off of a goblin
Were you getting goblined by a goblin?
So you've seen the whole thing?
You were pushing a boglin up your butt.
You've seen the whole thing.
You think it's funny?
It's disturbing.
You think it's funny that I caved in Sweep's face?
It's disturbing to me.
Look, the point is I was out to do it.
So you still feel these feelings?
No, no, I don't have these feelings.
It was something I worked out and it was just for the documentary.
Oh, you worked it out.
You just lied to me.
It's not real.
You said it was something you were putting on. It was something I worked out. To was just for the documentary it's not real you just lied to me it's not real you said it was
something you were
putting on
it was something
I just did
to help a mate out
what do you do now
it was not meant
to go out
it wasn't going
to be released
it was a documentary
thing
who was that
as the official
third member
of Cheap Show
here
the official
third
don't fucking
start rubbing
that off right now
rubbing that off
shut up
I beg your pardon
that's not
what I do in my capacity.
With a sock puppet, you do one thing.
Where did you get this from?
This is not meant to be released.
It's just a documentary film.
A little birdie and not a puppet birdie.
I want to know that.
Was it you?
Was it one of these two?
Not a big bird.
You probably love big birdies.
Don't you?
There's one of these two.
Rubby feathers.
All rubby feathers.
One of these two.
Dirty or the better.
Oscar the Grouch.
Don't worry about that, Paul.
Don't worry about that, don't worry about that Paul
we want an explanation
it doesn't matter
where he got it Paul
it's
and all of the
did one of these
to help you
did you know about this
did you both know
that this was going to happen
look at his fucking face
shut it
I'm just saying
how fucking dare you do this
Paul I think
how dare you do this
I think everyone needs
to know about this
for 150 episodes
I've kept this show going
you've done copious amounts of fuck all but you fuck puppets puppets How dare you do this? I think everyone needs to know about this. For 150 episodes, I've kept this show going.
You've done copious amounts of fuck all.
But you fuck puppets.
Puppets.
Smurfing.
It's not called smurfing.
It's not called sweeping.
It's not called having a punch.
It's nothing like that.
What is it? Why is that?
You're literally, I can see they've blurred it out on the documentary.
But look, you're pulling a string of sausages out of your ass.'s operating whilst mr crocodile is chomping on your nog nogs you know
what fuck off that's not the way to do it no you know what fuck off paul we need come back
we all make mistakes Paul
We've all made mistakes
We've all
If you're going
Can I take over on Cheap Show for you
We'll do Cheap Show
Mate we've all rimmed Gordon the Gopher
Ladies and gentlemen I'd like to introduce myself
As the new regular host of
cheap show
with all fingered
Otis the Aardvark
what about when we
were doing like the
Orville episode
you were getting off
on that weren't you
Orville
I wish I could fly
right into your arsehole
it's gone well
so it all went down it was so awkward I hate that trick it's gone well so
it all went down
it was so awkward
in the room
Ash actually took me
took me aside and said
is this an opportunity for us to branch out
on our own
and just drop Paul from the Cheap Show brand
altogether, maybe have a wrangle in court about it
but you know
it's a big enough brand.
And, you know, he has been...
Anyway, the fallout is Paul.
I didn't think Paul would react that way.
I thought Paul would laugh it off.
You know, he talks about spunking and pooing, eating poo.
But it touched a real raw nerve with him, because it's something real.
It's something really deep-seated, or deep-hand in back of puppeted.
So no, it really embarrassed him, and I don't think he can...
It's behind the mask. It's behind the animatronic mask with a person operating it. And it just makes you think, if he likes hand puppets,
he must be into those full-size ones as well.
And, like, what happens when he goes and sees, you know,
Disney on Ice or something like that?
He must cum in his pants all the time.
All the time, cum in his pants.
I didn't know he was a puppet fucker.
I mean, it doesn't surprise me.
Yeah,
I mean,
he took it
a bit too far
with Sooty's box.
Yeah,
I mean,
the whole
God Hold an Emu thing
was just
bizarre.
Watching him
rear end
a lifeless
floppy
emu puppet
is something
that I'll take to my grave.
Watching the video,
I'm totally behind Eli
allowing that video to air
because, you know, what Paul's done is disgusting.
And we're helping him.
I think that's the key thing.
We're exposing this to get him
to get help
my priority here is protecting the
digitiser brand
and it's associated IPs
I just hope
Paul sees fit
to not put this episode out
and
that you know when he listens to this
he'll agree to delete the files altogether
yeah it was mad i stormed out i wasn't going to come back but i had my keys and everything in the
bag and i had to pack up so it was a bit awkward afterwards but i had to go outside and deal with
shit every every every week i embarrass myself and i shame myself and i
lower myself to the standards of an oink for what for what hey just so he can embarrass me just
because i put my penis a few times up a puppet just just because every now and then i would rub
my dripping cock across the nose of punch and say that's the way to do it yeah because every now and then, I would rub my dripping cock across the nose of Punch and say that's the way to do it.
Yeah, because every now and then I would stick it up sweep. Yeah, I put my cock in land chop.
Every now and then I'd josh off online to episodes of Sesame Street. All right, I can't help it.
Just because I may enjoy watching old clips of going live on YouTube
and pulling my cock to Gordon the Gopher, eh?
Or imagining emptying my load into Ed the Duck's beak, yeah?
Just because I do that every now and then, a few years ago,
just because every now and then I imagine being in a spit roast with Zig and Zag,
you know?
I've got wants, I've You know? I've got wants.
I've got needs.
I've got things I adore.
And I adore being fisted by Nookie the Bear.
And Eli embarrassed me in front of my audience, in front of my friends.
So you're going to laugh at me now, aren't you?
Oh, laughing at Paul.
Laughing at Paul.
You know, I always knew he was a pervert.
So, it's sort of a reset here
so we'll just see where Cheap Show goes from here
maybe it'll just be
myself and Ash
if he can't return
if he can't put this behind him
Cheap Show
will endure, Paul just needs to
reset his proclivities
I hope I get to come back as the official third member next time.
So yeah, am I angry? Yes, I'm angry.
And I don't know how I feel about Cheap Show.
I guess we'll see what happens in the Halloween episode, right?
Right, I'm done with this.
Following the recording of this episode,
Mr Biffo went into production on Pudsey vs Fat Sow, the movie.
Ash Frith is currently supporting comedian Don Fist and his naughty pup on tour.
Paul Gannon continues to cry alone.
Eli was replaced in Ashen's and the Polybius heist by Jack Whitehall using state-of-the-art computer technology.
Jack Whitehall's character is voiced by David Walliams. Williams. Thank you.
