CheapShow - Ep 279: Hole Ness

Episode Date: April 29, 2022

After the high drama of last week’s Derek finale, it’s very much back to basics for Paul and Eli this week on CheapShow. To bring some stability to the format, they opt to indulge in some Cheap Ea...ts and Price of Shite action. At no point do two new, awful characters appear, destined to be forgotten about. Not at all! In Cheap Eats, Messrs Gannon and Silverman tackle a rather unsatisfactory brand of strongly flavoured Sunflower seeds and guzzle down Gingerbread flavoured Mountain Dew. It was all going so well until Eli pulls out an impromptu Sauce Report and Paul goes on a silent protest. The Price of Shite brings along a selection of weird and wonderful charity store sourced items ranging from the pointless to the fascinating. It at least gives Gannon a chance to do a Scottish accent… Sadly. It’s a thrilling finale to the game of tat and one where Poindexter gets pulled into the action too! This is SUCH a weird pod at times… See pics/videos for this episode on our website: https://www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-279-hole-ness Tickets for LIVE SHOW on August 13th: Episode 300 Live https://harrowarts.com/whats-on/event/cheapshow-300-live And if you like us, why not support us: www.patreon.com/cheapshow If you want to get involved, email us at thecheapshow@gmail.com And if you want to, follow us on Twitter @thecheapshowpod or @paulgannonshow & @elisnoid Like, Review, Share, Comment...

And I particularly like your personal hygiene. And I particularly love It would be nothing, Paul. It would be a barren wasteland. It would be you speaking into the void. Alone.
Starting point is 00:06:07 I particularly like your personal hygiene. And I particularly love the way you've arranged your room.

Starting point is 00:08:12 any kind of spunking or throttage. No. Right, good. Nor do we want any audience. Enough of that in my dreams. I don't want anyone in the audience to emit any kind of liquid or solid from their body.

Starting point is 00:12:09 There are baby pigeons and they make chirpy, chirpy, chirpy sounds. Yeah. So they make sounds of lollipops. But I looked out there. They have shats everywhere. The whole nest is just one thick piece of pigeon shit, man. Well, it fits in with your room somewhat then, doesn't it? Oh, shut up.
Starting point is 00:12:23 It's like they've copied your interior design. Look, can't you just be nice? I'm nurturing some pigeons. I could have killed them. In your wingeth. I am protecting them very much in my wingeth. You can't protect them
Starting point is 00:12:34 by just saying you protect them by not killing them. You see what I'm saying? It gives you a weird power kind of thing over it and it's weird. Well, what? Well, I mean,
Starting point is 00:12:42 I'm just, I'm enjoying being near the the life the creation of some pigeons pigeon life welcome to cheap eats this comes with a letter what are you eating this comes from two people james and pearl where are they from does it say i think they're from america oh james and what was that song called it was It was given a name. Wasn't it called like Asteroid or something, that piece of music? Was it a piece of library music? No, it was made for the Pearl and Dean.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Pearl and Dean. Adverts. But it's got a name like Asteroid or Comet or something like that. No, fuck it. Let's get on with the letter. So I'll tell you what, while you look that up, I'll read this out. So this still says, Messes, Gannon and Silverman. I like that.
Starting point is 00:13:24 Messes. Yeah, but where does that come from? Messers. I know that it's a word that exists. I think it just means man and wife, doesn't it? Does it? I think it means, yeah. So instead of saying Mr.,
Starting point is 00:13:33 I do not know. I've never thought about it until this very moment. Yes. I think it means sort of you as the couple. Mr. and Mrs. I think it's a sort of... Conflation of the two. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:43 I don't know. I could be wrong, but I'm looking up. What am I looking up? I've forgotten, mate. Messers is more... Bob Oldness is our song. No, what was I going to look up?
Starting point is 00:13:52 What the hell? Pearl and Dean music's called. Yeah, Pearl and Dean music. You look that up while I read the letter. So it says, Messers, Gannon and Silverman, I hope that this letter
Starting point is 00:13:59 and package finds you both well. I was inspired by the recent escalation of Russia's illegal war of aggression to send you Ukraine's most popular snack. Oh!
Starting point is 00:14:08 Time dates the episode to a certain period before the apocalypse. They are sunflower seeds, or, and it's spelt in Polish, but there is a phonetic spelling he's put in, so thank you very much, nasinia sonyashnikur, which are also popular in the United States,
Starting point is 00:14:23 especially among baseball players who chew on the seeds instead of tobacco and he's even put annotations in to back up his claims that's a nice what do you mean
Starting point is 00:14:31 annotations so like he says there footnotes you mean is that what you mean footnotes yeah Ukraine's most popular snack one then he's got a
Starting point is 00:14:38 he's got a saucer it is the Ukraine yes so I like his commitment commitment to truth to backing up his statements journalistic integrity that this letter has it's a new thing for us that's for sure so you will find enclosed also one bottle
Starting point is 00:14:51 of mountain dew and we have a look at this and it is gingerbread snapped edition the color of this beverage is reminiscent of spoff however and i think you'll find the flavor viscosity amplitude and mouthfeel somewhat palatable. Palatable. Yeah. Warmest regards, James and Pearl. Thank you, James and Pearl. Da-da-da-da-da-da.
Starting point is 00:15:12 Asteroid. Oh, it even goes on to say they were bought in a convenience store in Midland, Texas. Each pack of sunflowers were about $3, which is quite expensive, and the Mountain Dew was two. Asteroid. Oh, so I was right. Yeah, did you say asteroid? I said asteroid or comet, didn't I? Something like that
Starting point is 00:15:25 And in the 90s It was mixed with A whole lot of love Wasn't it By Led Zeppelin In releasing the charts Remember that You mean there was
Starting point is 00:15:31 A mashup of sorts Of asteroid And whole lot of love Yeah that would work Wouldn't it So I believe It was a reasonably Big hit in the 90s
Starting point is 00:15:42 That song As a mashup Must have been A very early mashup I think it was like A band Oh they did a version, that song. As a mash-up. It must have been a very early mash-up. I think it was like a band. Oh, they did a version, sort of. And mashed the two together. So it wasn't like it was a cut-up.
Starting point is 00:15:50 Right. I think it was. Who was that group we covered who were meant to have invented the mash-up? Who did all the rock and roll versions of... No, we haven't covered them on the show. We've just talked about it privately. Big Daddy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:00 I don't think we've talked about Big Daddy on the show. I think we've talked about it in our private moments. Anyway, shall we take some of these seeds. So we have three packets of Bigs, which are sesame seeds, and they have three distinct flavours. What are they? Are they sesame seeds, though? No!
Starting point is 00:16:17 Are they? No, they're sesame seeds. They're not. Are they, Paul? What are they? I thought they were. Sunflower. Oh.
Starting point is 00:16:24 A totally different plant. Very different plant. Sesame seeds are what you get on a burger bun. Yeah, yeah. They're tiny. Are they, Paul? What are they? I thought they were. Sunflower. Oh. A totally different plant. Very different plant. Sesame seeds are what you get on a burger bun. Yeah, yeah. They're tiny little things. Yeah, my brain. That could be stuck there for three days. From a meal you had three days and come out you took.
Starting point is 00:16:34 I don't like them on burgers. I'll be honest with you. I don't like them. I don't like sesame seeds in general. You don't? No, I'm not a big fan. You don't like the taste? Do you like the taste of sesame oil?
Starting point is 00:16:42 Nah. I quite like it. It's nice when you use it for like a stir fry. That's about it. Now, these are both all three packs of Biggs, which are sunflower seeds, edible sunflower seeds, but they are in their shell, so to speak. So they've got a fibrous...
Starting point is 00:16:57 Oh, you've got to fucking break them out. Yeah, you have to break them open. But that's why the baseball players like Pearl and Dean have... Sorry, Martin and Dean. What are they called? James and Pearl. James and Pearl. James. Proving you never listen.
Starting point is 00:17:12 I did. James and Pearl have said that the baseball players use them. Instead of tobacco. Which is not a good thing. They chew the shell, spit the shell out, and then absorb the seed. I've been on buses around here, because I think people from Turkey and that part of the world are well into them as well. I've been on buses around here because I think people from Turkey and that part of the world are well into them as well.
Starting point is 00:17:27 I've been on buses around here and there's been a whole mound, like a midden mound. Where they've been waiting for a bus and just throwing
Starting point is 00:17:32 the shells on the ground. Yeah, yeah. So question, it's not the seed itself then that's flavoured, it's the shell that you suck and chew. They must, yes,
Starting point is 00:17:39 and they must bathe the whole thing in the flavour bath. I don't know if I'm going to like this because I don't like the idea of the texture of having something you can't eat in the way of the small thing you can eat.. I don't know if I'm going to like this, because I don't like the idea of the texture of having something you can't eat
Starting point is 00:17:45 in the way of the small thing you can eat. So people, what they've done in America, which they do a lot with stuff, is they've managed to just have roasted sunflower seeds, but these bigs people have entered into flavour country. They're branded as well. They're based on brands,
Starting point is 00:18:02 aren't they, these flavours? That's what I'm trying to say. They've entered into obviously partnership with all these massive brands. No, bland is probably correct. Shut up. I'm trying today. I'm trying. No, I was agreeing with you. They are probably quite bland flavors.
Starting point is 00:18:15 No, so you've got Vlasic, kosher dill spears, one, dill pickle, yum. Oh, you don't want a flaccid dill pickle, do you? Those are like a very big pickle. In America? Yeah. They're not the best quality they're just sort of the standard ones
Starting point is 00:18:26 Yeah You've got the Taco Bell Taco Supreme flavoured sunflower seeds Everything about that reeks of fucking poo poo Well it reeks of
Starting point is 00:18:35 a terrible time on your toilet the next day Yes But it's just the flavour so it probably won't give you the shits the way sometimes a real Taco Bell
Starting point is 00:18:42 Taco Bell has always given me the shits Really? And that's why I don't go anymore You know what pisses me off about taco bell the uk taco bells what you go in there and it's like i want some tacos and they're like is that a meal you know like i don't eat a taco with fries and you know what i mean yeah i just want tacos if i want fucking tacos and they can't even do it because they're so clueless they don't have to sell you just a
Starting point is 00:19:02 bunch of tacos taco bell does not work in the UK. It doesn't. It barely works in America, frankly. No, I mean, you know, I like some proper shit sometimes and I've been in America and you can get 10 taco box. Yeah, but that's not good. That's not good. The third, by the way,
Starting point is 00:19:17 the third packet of big sunflower seeds that we're tasting are chili limon, but it's got a branded chili hot sauce company tapatio which i think we did years ago it's a big mexican sounds familiar all right i'll tell you what then do you know what i've got some tapatio socks that's another fact it is a fact and i can't do anything with it should we get the half on which what order you do want to do these i'll let you pick i reckon chili lemon start should we startill pickle and then we'll end with Taco Bell.
Starting point is 00:19:46 So these you're not meant to do in one go because they've got that clever built-in sealer. Yeah. So you tear it to begin with until I get
Starting point is 00:19:53 in and then they've got a little Ziploc thing. Yeah. There's a very little smell of chili or lemon coming off those so I think you have to
Starting point is 00:20:01 activate it with your saliva. I'm going to jostle. Give it a jostle but it's not much half at all. Oh no. Is there a tiny bit of lime? Yeah, you can smell some lime.
Starting point is 00:20:11 So I just take a few and sort of suck them, I guess. Yeah. I've taken a little handful. Just suck them. Oh. I mean... I kind of don't know what to do with it. You split them.
Starting point is 00:20:24 I've crunched them so now there's all fragmentary bits in my mouth. Now, you need your spitty. I'll get a spitty. You can't forget spitty. There's spitty here. I guess I shouldn't have just munched on them. Spitty bag.
Starting point is 00:20:40 Right. I missed the bag. You missed the bag. Okay, now. We've had those. Those were the chilli lemon tapatio flavoured ones. It's a really... I missed the bag. You missed the bag. Okay, now. We've had those. Those were the chili lemon tapatio flavoured ones. It's a really, I don't know, it's a really unsatisfying snack. Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:52 Personally speaking. It's more of a mouth toy. Do you see what I mean? It's like you get the flavour and you can sort of, that's why the baseball players chew on them. It's more like a toothpick or something. Do you know? It's in between a toothpick and a piece of food.
Starting point is 00:21:02 I think I'm not meant to put a load on it. I think it's just one at a time, isn't it? Do you like pistachio nuts? Yeah nuts yeah see those for me have the total balance between work and receiving and it's like eating mussels because because the meat of the nuts is is is worth it's a success enough but the but the the ratio of shell to seed with these just you don't get enough once you get in there it's such a tiny reward you know what i mean yeah fox more do you still like eating them in the get in there it's such a tiny reward do you know what I mean yeah Fox Mordor used to like eating them in the X-Files yeah it's more of a sort of
Starting point is 00:21:27 work mouth work what did you think of the chilli and lemon flavour I mean it was there and it was a little bit hotter than I expected and it wasn't too artificial
Starting point is 00:21:35 the limey flavour wasn't too artificial it's limon which is lime in Mexican it's fine I think in terms of flavour profile
Starting point is 00:21:44 I would give it like a two. Because it's there and then it's not. It wasn't a great deal going on. There's some heat and there was some lemon. I mean, what else can you ask for? Not a lot of flavour to the hot sauce. Shall we try these pickled ones? Yes, let's put the pickle.
Starting point is 00:21:56 I'm just going to put one in this time. Proper suck it and then attempt to... Okay. So there's less detritus. Ooh. Oh, he's got a nice huff on that. Then I take it. That's a lovely dill huff on that, Paul.
Starting point is 00:22:07 Nothing more to say. Let me have a little snuffle. It's a strident dill huff coming off. Gaseous huff. Yeah. You know what I mean? Nice. There's a definite pulled from the burger sensation of the smell.
Starting point is 00:22:22 Absolutely. Burger pickle smell coming off. I'm just going to take two and I'm going to suck You're going to take two. I'm just going to suck it this time and then eat it break it.
Starting point is 00:22:30 So here we go. I mean the flavour's much better on this. I know but it's just that problem there's not enough reward. No. Nice though.
Starting point is 00:22:37 Nice flavour. Not too artificial again is it? No the flavour's Oh shit. Oh you spilt your pickle seeds on me. Jesus Christ. Hang on, I've just got to stand up and get the rest of this.
Starting point is 00:22:48 It's like having wood in your mouth at the end of the day, isn't it? I've had wood in my mouth and it's not like that, mate. Doesn't this fucking taste of pickle put it that way? It might. It didn't. In fact, I worry it's just going to taste more like the fucking Taco Bell one. Is that Paul's prediction? That Taco Bell's going to taste like
Starting point is 00:23:07 unwashed penis ends? Certainly unloved penis. He's cleaned up his seeds and we're back. Paul, if you gave a two for the flavour of the first, for the... Oh, I'd probably say 3.5 for this one. Nice pickle flavour. I mean, I'm not a huge pickle flavour
Starting point is 00:23:24 fan. I'll rephrase that. A pickle, artificial pickle flavour fan. And that wasn't overwhelmingly artificial. It was just nice. Very dilly. Dilly, dilly. Dilly, dilly, dilly. Let's do the last one.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Taco Bell. Taco Supreme flavoured. There's nothing supreme about Taco Bell. Let's have a huff on this. See, what kind of huff do you expect? A beefy huff? I expect some kind of spicy meaty huff. Oh, God, that's not a good one.
Starting point is 00:23:49 That's the most artificial one. What's the smell? There's a sort of beef, but it ends in a sort of cardboardy, sort of cleaning product kind of smell. All right, let's have a go. You'll see what I mean. See if you can articulate that better.
Starting point is 00:24:01 There's a sort of beefiness at the beginning, but then it sort of... It smells like I've just put my head down a toilet. Yeah, do you see what I mean? After someone's left a great big hot egg in it. You know.
Starting point is 00:24:12 It's like no smell and then a bit of a smell. Yeah, yeah. Not great. Now, no, it doesn't have the profile of the pickle. Now, you've been,
Starting point is 00:24:21 you've been dreading this moment. Well, here we go. On these taco supreme flavoured seeds. Very salty. Easily the saltiest, aren't they? It just tastes like an El Paso taco kit seasoning mix. Yes. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:24:35 A cheap taco seasoning or fajita seasoning mix. That's, I guess, what it is. So, I mean, there you go. I mean, I'll say this for it. There is flavour there. You suck it and the flavour's there for a considerable amount of time considering the size of the item. But you're right.
Starting point is 00:24:48 At the end of the day, it's a... It's a poultry meal. Yeah. It's a tiny meal with all that work of sucking the seed and having a woody seed in your mouth. Yeah. And then you open it. You've finally broken into the clam.
Starting point is 00:25:00 You know what I mean? You open the fucking magic clam at the bottom of the ocean and there's a fucking tiny little pellet like grey seed shut up it's time to move on to the drink by the way
Starting point is 00:25:10 yeah you didn't tell Juicy Jeremy about this I'm not telling Juicy Jeremy anything at the moment because he's gone off the fucking rails I think he is out there
Starting point is 00:25:17 in the lobby it doesn't matter don't bring it up because he shouldn't be here I think he's already he's going through a whole thing at the moment with Willy Wanker.
Starting point is 00:25:25 There's a kind of... There's a friction going on and it's getting to them both. I don't want it to infect the show, you know? So let's just... He keeps out there. Yeah, but he keeps sending me... He's here already, Paul.
Starting point is 00:25:34 He keeps sending me these drinks and the next day I have these weird stomach cramps. He asked me to tell him when we're doing the segment. We don't have to tell him. I'm going to tell him. Why? I'm going to go get him.
Starting point is 00:25:43 Don't get him. I'm going to go get Juicy Jeremy Alright be quick Okay I think Paul And then you know We'll quickly Just tell him
Starting point is 00:25:49 You explain to him Explain to him It's not his soda this week And then Send to us It's not my fault It's not my fault I'll just go

Starting point is 00:26:38 Fucking emotionally draining prick. Oh, you? Eli, is your little little friend, Paul. Little boy Paul, is he okay? I don't know, he's quite tired. He's been working this weekend. Oh, well, I hope he enjoys the sody pop. I'm here to taste the sody pop with you boys.
Starting point is 00:26:59 I got my jallapy, oh, jallapy. Parked outside. I'm right outside the podcast. How are things with the Willy Wanker going? Well, he's in the back of the car with a chicken. Let me go get him. Oh, I wish you wouldn't. I'm going to go get him.
Starting point is 00:27:14 Oh, I don't think you should. I don't think you should. Oh, my favourite little boy, Paul. Mr. Willy. Get up. Mr. Willy Wanker, come on in. We've got something to make up with her. Come on, commit to the bit, Paul. Mr. Willie. Yeah, what? Mr. Willie, come on in. We've got... We want you to make up with her.
Starting point is 00:27:27 Come on, commit to the bit, Paul. Come on. All right, I'm coming in. Yeah. Oh. Now, you tell him... Hello, Mr. Wanker. ...that that building belongs to me.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Right? And if I want to fuck a pig in that building, I have every fucking right to. Right. Hello. So, what do you want to say to my face? Yeah, we think you and
Starting point is 00:27:47 G.C.O. need to sort out this whole land problem. You should. Now, Mr. Wanker, you've been renting space in my soda truck. No, you've been renting space in my candy factory.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Now, we all know why you've been eating fucking snacks. What's all this about? Someone sent it to us. Didn't fucking put it past me, did you? Now, Mr. know... Why you've been eating fucking snacks. Now, we all... What's all this about? Someone sent it to us. Didn't fucking put it past me, did you? Now, Mr. Wanker... What do you want?
Starting point is 00:28:09 If I could have your ear for just one little moment... I mean, you can talk all you like, but... Now, one little moment. I'm really not interested. We've had this discussion a hundred times already. I want you out of the so-called factory. I know I want you out of my factory. I'm not.
Starting point is 00:28:22 I built the soda jug fountain in there in 1910. No, well, my family has owned that property, that land, since 1876. There's been wankers in charge of that land for as long as we can remember. Oh, you're a wanker, all right. There's been a wanker in every generation who's owned that fucking building.
Starting point is 00:28:37 So don't you fucking tell me that you don't know you've been taking that money from the hand of a wanker. Now, let me remind you, you came here today, my Jollipy. Now I'm going to take those chickens to a rescue, a rescue point. They don't need rescuing.
Starting point is 00:28:51 They do. They don't. They'll need putting down after you've done with them. Those saucy bitches fucking love it. You've destroyed some fucking chicken rectum. That's true. I'm going. Are you going, are you?
Starting point is 00:29:02 You've just given up like that, have you? After all the fucking setup. I don't want to. If he's going to be around here, I'm not going to bring my sody pops in here. But Paul. You know what? I'm going to say it right now.
Starting point is 00:29:15 I'm sorry about this, but I once made a fucking dog come in your sody pop fountain. I thought there was an extra thickness one day to the sody pops. Fucking thickness, that's right. I milked that dog dry with my own mouth. That must have been my new sody puff. You know what, I'm going to go, actually. I think we should both go.
Starting point is 00:29:33 Yeah, okay. I'll just let them out, Paul. Yeah, you let them out. Go on, Jason. All right, all right. All right, then. Bye, then. Come on, get in the jell-o Bye bye
Starting point is 00:29:45 They're alright really They're alright They'll make it up In the end Right Drink We didn't even Fucking tell them
Starting point is 00:29:52 Anyway We got this Mountain Dew Ginger Snap drink It's the It's the joy of Mountain Dew Mixed with the joy
Starting point is 00:29:59 Of cinnamon And ginger I don't think I think a cinnamon drink Can be alright We tasted that Do you remember that Korean That small Korean can Which was very cinnamony It was alright Very sweet and cinnamony and ginger. I don't think, I think a cinnamon drink can be alright. We tasted that, do you remember that Korean,
Starting point is 00:30:05 that small Korean can which was very cinnamony. Oh yeah. It was alright, very sweet and cinnamony. The problem is, Mountain Dew has got such a kind of flavour profile
Starting point is 00:30:12 that I find instantly repulsive. What is it? It's like artificial fruit flavour. I don't, no, you know what, I honestly don't know what the fucking hell Mountain Dew is meant to taste like.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Am I right in thinking, other than the colour green, that juicy fruit is jackfruit flavoured? Don't know. I think that's the magic behind the juices. We're just spouting facts
Starting point is 00:30:29 and we can't back him up. So anyway, I'm going to open this up. Now on the label there's a couple of edgy looking gingerbread men. Not just normal gingerbread men but proper edgy fucklords.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Do you think this was a special edition for Christmas or something like that? Well, why else would you release it? It sounds like... Are gingerbread men Christmassy? They are. Yeah, they are.
Starting point is 00:30:46 One of them's got a Christmas hat on. You always get gingerbread houses at Christmas to build and shit like that. I quite like the artwork. Who manufactures Mountain Dew? Is it PepsiCo or Coke or...
Starting point is 00:30:54 I think it's... I don't know. Hang on. Let's have a look. PepsiCo. PepsiCo, right. Yeah. Well, I do not...
Starting point is 00:31:01 It's got caffeine content as well. Yeah, that's it. No, that Mountain Dew, that's how it has modelled itself in recent years as an energy drink. As competing with Red Bull and Monster. Gatorade.
Starting point is 00:31:11 Yes. Because it's got very high caffeine content. Let's open it up and get straight in. Who does Sprite and who does 7-Up? Sprite, I think, is Coke. 7-Up is PepsiCo. I mean, I... Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Because they both are caffeine free am I right in thinking that also it tastes like shit now that even the whole sugar tax thing in the UK and it's all zero this
Starting point is 00:31:31 well I like a sort of a slightly more expensive I know it's not for the show but I know a more sort of bespoke but that's the thing I don't buy a lot of Coke these days
Starting point is 00:31:38 but if I have to I'll probably spend a little bit more and get that gusto yeah whatever it is if it's available it's not available everywhere or you get Fentimans wouldn't you oh yeah you could get that gusto. Yeah. Or whatever it is. If it's available. It's not available everywhere.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Or you'd get Fentimans, wouldn't you? Oh, yeah, you could get that. Fentimans, Cherry Cola, I like. Yeah, that's all right. Anyway. It is better than a Coke. Well, probably slightly better for you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:54 So it's Dew with a blast of artificial gingerbread flavour. I'm going to crack it open. What's the huff coming off there? Oh, it smells like some kind of mouthwash. Really? Yeah, you sniff it. You know when you go to the dentist and they have a particular type of mouthwash? Here is a glass for you.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Huff it, baby. Very mouthwash-y. You know that very sort of urethamol toothpaste-y? Yeah, I think that's what you're getting at. You know when you think of red toothpaste and red mouthwash? That pink toothpaste, I don't know if anyone knows about it. It's called urethamol, I think. Yeah, it's got that kind of feel going on, hasn't it?
Starting point is 00:32:22 Medicinal, mouthwash-y, toothpaste-y. Almost like. Almost like. Almost like. What's that? Bitter. You know, the Rousse Rosso, Martini Rosso type of thing. More like a bitter liqueur. Kind of like that, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:32:34 Yes, a herby. Almost a herby sort of wintergreen. Yeah. Or menthol. That kind of, yes. Hitting all the profiles. Sort of Jägermeisterister almost herby like that yeah
Starting point is 00:32:45 sort of yes I know what you're talking about do you know what I don't actually find it that unpleasant that smell no no I don't at the moment I know you want to hate this
Starting point is 00:32:52 because you hate Mountain Dew I don't want to hate anything on this show but sometimes you know the reputation precedes them but normal Mountain Dew is going to be totally different from this
Starting point is 00:33:01 you know at least they're experimenting yeah and what we need to do I know Juicy Jeremy didn Yeah. And what we need to do, I know Juicy Jeremy didn't mention it, but we need to try that new Coke outer space stuff. Intergalactic Cola.
Starting point is 00:33:12 It's called Space. I've not found any yet. Anyway, if you do see any and you want to send it to Cheap Show. I'm getting a cookie smell more on the huff now from this. If you want to send any of that stuff to Cheap Show,
Starting point is 00:33:20 there's the PO box on our website address. Go for that. I'm getting much more of a cookie huff now. I'm getting a bready cookie huff coming through. Do you bready cookie half coming through cookie huff was the uh british blaxploitation character that never picked up shut up it is that's terrible it's not fuck off here we go down the hatch very unpleasant really just sort of no bite the cinnamon doesn't have a lot of any heat to it do you know what i mean so it just sort of stops dead stops dead in your mouth that flavor and it's got like almost a watery end yeah it dies a watery death the cinnamon it tries to be there and i'll say this i don't find it unpleasant
Starting point is 00:33:54 but it you're right the flavor is there and then it's not but it leaves the gingerbready burn afterwards a little a little bit you know what it's it's a strange frankenstein flavor between a sort of limey citrusy tang like a lemonade basically that they're putting in and then the bready sort of herby cinnamon they almost seem to be not go well together you know what it is it tastes more like someone's put gingerbread into pepsi yeah in fact that to me is what it tastes like pepsi and gingerbread that's not too. That's not too bad. Pepsi and gingerbread. That's not too bad. It's not too bad. I don't think I could finish a whole bottle of that. No.
Starting point is 00:34:28 It's not too bad. I would be generous and maybe say that's a three out of five. I'll go 2.75. But it does, yeah, it does taste like Mountain Dew with gingerbread in it. Weird. No, because Mountain Dew's got that weird, super artificial kind of, I don't even know what you want to call it. I think that the front of this, there is a Mountain Dew-y flavour. That's what I'm talking about.
Starting point is 00:34:44 That limey, that sort of artificial citrusy at the front. For me, it's more cola. It feels more cola-like. Cola with the gingerbread after. I see. I see, yeah. But specifically Pepsi cola. That very syrupy.
Starting point is 00:34:54 Yeah, yeah. It's definitely got that Pepsi, that texture. It's still not awful. And I'd much rather try and finish the bottle off than finish those seeds off. Now, Paul. Yeah. There's a very important aspect of the show. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:06 That has been a thread going throughout the years. And some people would say it is the pinnacle of what we do here. It's the source report. Go get it. Because we are already at half an hour. And I want to speed this up. No, you will not denigrate the source report. Or just cut it.
Starting point is 00:35:19 I'm going to insert. So you can be quick. I'm going to take the source report. I'm going to do the source report now. I don't have to go get it. The source is here. All right. We'll just be quick. And the spoons are here. Because, again, I'm going to take the source report. I'm going to do the source report now. I don't have to go get it. The source is here. All right, we'll just be quick. And the spoons are here.
Starting point is 00:35:27 Because, again, I'm half an hour. It is the most professionally successful aspect of the show ever to have existed. The source report is timeless. The source report stands above all speech. He's doing a hand plant, everyone. Right. I have the source spoons in my hand. One for you and one for me.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Now, I saw this in the shop. Where has it gone? Excuse me while I whip this out. Where has it gone? You stupid fucking useless pillock. Great. Here it is. Hurry up.
Starting point is 00:36:01 Now. I'm losing my temper. We've done lots of sauces on the show before, Paul, on the Source Report. Someone recently went and listened to an old episode of Cheap Show and they think, I've grown more grumpy and I've become less tolerant of your shit. And do you know what? They're not fucking wrong. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:18 Source Report, everyone. This is the magical, sacred, protected segment of the show where I, Eli Silverman, sauce expert of the universe, discuss, taste and produce sauce. Piri Piri, we ain't done Piri Piri before. Piri Piri is this whole class of hot sauce. And I was only first aware of Piri Piri as a sauce type, Paul,
Starting point is 00:36:44 when Nando's first arrived on our shores. What about you? Did you know about Piripiri before that? Please contribute to the source report. Here's contributing editor, Paul Gannon, everyone, with his views on Piripiri. He's not. He's refusing to talk.
Starting point is 00:37:01 Right. I'll just have to look it up on the old Googles. This will be a fun bit for you to edit. Yeah, see? It just costs you work. It costs you work. Piri Piri. It's a sauce.
Starting point is 00:37:13 It's some kind of sauce mix. Oh, God. Loads of restaurants called Piri Piri. Here we go. What is Piri Piri? It simply means pepper sauce. So, Paul, it's all it means. It's just hot
Starting point is 00:37:25 sauce it's called hot sauce in other parts don't give me the spoon back he wants me to produce sauce for him all right Paul I'll give you a spoon of this sauce yeah and then what I want I knew you're gonna need to talk and say what is how it feels for you on your mouth and stuff it's got a very saucy half on it it's not coming out what do you think of that is he not he's not talking he's taking the sauce he's just taking the sauce well I'll tell you it's got a nice very nice peppery almost tomatoey odor this very sort of a deep a smoky deep pepperiness um nice oh it's really salty oh oh that's lovely really salty salty than i imagined and that deep dry dry pepperiness and
Starting point is 00:38:17 that is the style i think when the peri peri it's lovely dry heat coming through and a lovely salty more than at vinegary although there is a vinegar thing there he's pointing at his clock he gets a strong 4.5 for me and lovely, lovely that would be, lovely sauce thanks for listening to the sauce report you're a cunt, you should have fucking said something
Starting point is 00:38:38 about the sauce mate why aren't you talking about the sauce you're like a child right well thank you for listening to Cheap Show, and we're going to move on to our next segment of the show.

Starting point is 00:43:46 I like that. I like found footage audio. Houston, we found the moon. You know, there's a whole... We found the moon. Paul, there's people who collect and swap... Planets. ...those messages on trains. You know the person when you go on a train journey?
Starting point is 00:44:01 There's a guy who goes, man, there's sandwiches. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll be doing this. Those messages on trains. What do you mean? Where do they get them from? People like, you get them
Starting point is 00:44:09 because there's old trains used to have tapes and they'd be taped by people. Pre-recorded stuff. It's like a thing. They're quite hard to come by, obviously, because they're not recorded a lot. No, it's just live, though, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:44:19 They're quite desirable in certain circles. Houston, we're on the moon. We're on the moon. We're landing on the moon, Houston. Houston, we got a problem. Did Jimmy Biscuits go to the moon? He did go to the moon.
Starting point is 00:44:30 It's an unknown fact that him and fucking Tony Harris or something went to the fucking moon. Now, Poindexter's warmed up. Now, he didn't like what you were saying, okay? He didn't say anything. He needs to fulfill his role today. It's nice to have a role let's not forget the protector of the betwings and what are betwings paul so now i have to put
Starting point is 00:44:49 between the things we win betwings are the points in this game so now i have to put a piss stained teddy bear on our answers because as he because ash has sent an envelope with the pranzas on but wait before we go any further you got an album i. I got... What did you get? I haven't seen your gift. Two cassettes. Ooh. By Rainbow Stories. Ooh. Real Ghostbusters, Cold Cash and Hot Water,
Starting point is 00:45:12 and Adventures in Slime and Space. Both Real Ghostbusters tapes. And would they have been sold with a sort of picture book? Usually they come with a picture book as well, but these are without... Oh, Cold Cash and Hot Water is from a season 2 episode episode 39 so Peter's father
Starting point is 00:45:29 Charles is working in Alaska and unearths an Inuit statue which holds a powerful demon called Hob Anarkarak called Hob Anarkarak
Starting point is 00:45:35 who the Eskimos called the first demon that's what Cold Cash and Hot Water is all about problematic and it looks a bit like slightly it looks a bit like
Starting point is 00:45:43 a kind of HP Lovecraftian kind of creature yes very Lovecraftian yeah eventually Slime in Space is that one that fucks me off
Starting point is 00:45:49 Slimer goes through a machine and then becomes millions of little Slimers then they all join back together I think I remember that one and become one big Slimer it's a very Slimer
Starting point is 00:45:56 centric episode isn't it the number of episodes of the real Ghostbusters that start with Slimer doing something he shouldn't and releasing something well he's a big yeah he's a big character
Starting point is 00:46:04 he was a much bigger character than in any of the films, wasn't he? Well, yeah, he wasn't even really a character in the film. Anyway, here are the price of answers. And here's Poindexter. Poindexter is nice and warm. Yes. He has reignited a deep and truly beautiful thing
Starting point is 00:46:19 between me and him. And there he sits. Yeah. Guarding the Petwings. And those are the points that we... We strive for. We strive for betwings on this game. So, all items were purchased
Starting point is 00:46:32 from a Nottingham charity shop. The total price of all five items... Ceiling item... Is £4.70. £4.70 is the total price. And the prices are... That's not a ceiling. That is the actual full price.
Starting point is 00:46:44 Oh, yeah, I guess it would be. Which we shouldn't think about because then we'll try and price. And the prices are in the second half. That's not a ceiling. That is the actual full price. Oh, yeah, I guess it will be. Which we shouldn't think about because then we'll try and add up all the prices. I never really think about it anyway. I just kind of go with my gut. If it goes over or under, we'll see. But see, now you'll know that you're wrong somewhere, that you wouldn't have got full for 20
Starting point is 00:46:56 unless it all adds up to 470. Well, let's find out how we go, all right? I'm going to try and add up all my answers to 470, Paul. So the first one is a big one. We'll get it out the way because we're not going to play it and it's big. But, bloody hell,
Starting point is 00:47:08 they got me a board game. It's the Mummy animated TV series board game. Search for the Amulet or whatever the fuck it's called. But here it is. Look, it's an interesting board game because it's based on the animated series which you'd never heard of, had you?
Starting point is 00:47:24 There's a box there. Yes box there's a box there yes there's a box there you know what fuck this i forgot to bring it i forgot to bring it i'm sorry i know i'm an actor and everything i forgot to bring it i forgot to bring it so what i didn't want to bring it no i forgot to bring fuck you don't pour salt on this wound i was going for it you should have just played along when i said there's a box there yeah no that's good mate when you go all right there's a box you couldn't act at all could you say oh it's an interesting box it looks like this what are these characters all right you showed me one quick flash on your phone. And then I showed you the picture of the box. Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Starting point is 00:48:08 Right. But it's a terrible game as well as looking shit. Is that what you're saying? No, because last night I looked to have a look at it. And it's definitely interesting. I think it's honestly just someone's idea for a board game that they slapped the mummy license on top of. But it is based on the animated series.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Do you think there could be other games with different skins? Because skins because basically i mean other versions of the same game with different skins yeah because the game is basically like a kind of hide and seek game right so the idea is you've got six characters and they all have different cards and you've got to answer the clues to move up the board to get to the center and the center wins this amulet of internal life i do not recall the animated show that this is based on so it's made it's based after the second film and the idea is like their kid that's grown up a little bit gets an amulet stuck to his wrist by accident and that gives him powers but then it means the mummy's after him and so it's like that was the last time universal was successful with any of their
Starting point is 00:48:58 monsters wasn't it uh long story short yeah yeah because when that film came out the mummy evan was like what have you done to this classic horror film it's like oh you've made it fun like an Indiana Jones film and it stands up on its own they changed the genre cleverly didn't they
Starting point is 00:49:11 and I think it still kind of works as a kind of nice PG horror with a nice Indiana Jonesy stuff yeah adventure horror it's not pure horror by any means
Starting point is 00:49:20 well compared to the Tom Cruise one it shows you what yeah did you see the Tom Cruise one yeah yeah it took a while for me to get through it would it be fair to say that you're a compared to the Tom Cruise one it shows you what yeah did you see the Tom Cruise one yeah yeah it took a while for me to get through
Starting point is 00:49:27 it because I found it would it be fair to say that you're a fan of the original Universal Monsters yeah some of them are better than others you know
Starting point is 00:49:33 I don't particularly care for Dracula but I like Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein I like the Wolfman and Wolfman's alright and Invisible Man came a few fair years
Starting point is 00:49:41 later after all but he's still considered and so is Creature from the Black Lagoon yeah even so is Creature from the Black Lagoon. Yeah, even though the Creature from the Black Lagoon was one of the last proper Universal. And I think there are other sort of second-tier ones. Yeah, there's things like The Black Cat
Starting point is 00:49:53 with Boris Karloff and things, which are strictly speaking under that license, but don't really count. I see. But anyway, the money turned into an animated series, and this is some merchandise. And again, the core clues that you get are unique to each character.
Starting point is 00:50:04 And as you turn them over it's like here is a room that you won't forget you'll go in there to get wet what's the room and you go bathroom bathroom then you win the card I think they why did
Starting point is 00:50:14 they choose the mummy to start with the relaunch because the mummy surely sort of culturally speaking it's a bit you mean problematic now because of the whole Egyptology
Starting point is 00:50:22 in the way basically that it was linked with colonialism and us stealing the treasures and all way basically that it was linked with colonialism and us stealing the treasures and all of that and it's all sort of linked with that
Starting point is 00:50:29 so why would it be the first one you think of to relaunch the whole thing wouldn't you just say let's not do a version of the mummy in the 90s because Frankenstein
Starting point is 00:50:36 you could do no no do you mean in the 90s or do you mean recently with Tom Cruise recently with Tom Cruise well because they wanted to do the Marvel thing
Starting point is 00:50:42 it just seems so misguided no no it makes more sense to the mummy because like they want to do a dark universe like Marvel but with all their monsters right on cruise well because it just seems so misguided no no it makes more sense to the mummy because like they want to do a dark universe like marvel but with all their monsters right so why not begin with a with a type that's already been successful i see so they looked at the brendan fraser one that work we'll just make it modern and edgy yeah and we'll start tying in this whole cult thing where it's all they're collecting monsters i guess yeah i can see that and you
Starting point is 00:51:04 can see it sort of like it would be the oldest of the monsters and there's a league of... I can see that and you can see it would be the oldest of the monsters. Strictly speaking, they had done Dracula Before the Mummy because originally there's a film called Dracula Unborn. Did that ever come out? Yeah, it came out a year before the mummy. Did it?
Starting point is 00:51:19 Yeah. Was it a big block? Big budget. Have you ever heard of it? No. Exactly. Anyway, besides the point, this is the board game version of the kids show I have to think of a price think of a price for this nice and big
Starting point is 00:51:30 imaginary no you've seen the picture it's a nice big board game I don't know you've really seen this you could just be making this shit up how do I know
Starting point is 00:51:37 where are the prices can I open the prices they're in the envelope yes Poindexter you tell me he's guarding them with his
Starting point is 00:51:42 his muffy head yeah his wee wee smelling snout what kind of guess the price when was this game made I don't know I need to hold things
Starting point is 00:51:51 in my hand to feel the girth the weight the grain late 90s late 90s it's a late 90s board game and it's just a board
Starting point is 00:51:57 in a charity shop yeah and everything's cardboard there's no moving metal pieces what condition are we talking about it's all split up the sides the box no it's in nice condition
Starting point is 00:52:02 okay I promise you that it's complete is it yeah okay it's just nice condition. Okay. I promise you that. It's complete, is it? Yeah. Okay. It's just one of those board games where everything's cardboard, even the play pieces.
Starting point is 00:52:10 It's cheap. It wouldn't have been a... 470 total. How many items do we have today? Five. Wow. That is cheap, isn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:18 I go first this time then. Is that what you want to say? Go on. Five items. They're all under a quid. Yes. Is this the biggest item? Yeah, considerably. Five items. They're all under a quid. Yes. Is this the biggest item? Yeah, considerably.
Starting point is 00:52:27 It's the biggest because it's a board game. I'm going to say a quid then. All right. Can I say a quid? You can say whatever you want. I'll say a quid. We can change these answers after, yeah? You'll guess first on the next item.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Yes. I'm going to go ahead and say that it is... I'll go more. 150. 150. Now, shall we remind everyone of how the points are pointed
Starting point is 00:52:47 do we know what system Ash is using is he using the classic classic on the nose two betwings 25p out either way
Starting point is 00:52:53 the final price one betwing so you've decided to go more than 25p either way of my guess of a quid have you well I just think
Starting point is 00:52:59 it's a bit more expensive that's it well you you're throwing away an easy betwing there if I'm right yeah but as I say it's £4 something for the lot
Starting point is 00:53:05 so what did you say £1.50 alright well okay I think you should I just think it's more than a quid mark my word
Starting point is 00:53:11 I think you should say £1.25 either way I think strategically you're not playing the game to the best of your right well either way I still think it's more than a quid okay so you said £1.50
Starting point is 00:53:19 fine alright I might be wrong great next item alright can I get to hold this in my hand? It's a physical
Starting point is 00:53:27 thing I remember to bring. Oh, this is nice. That's a new catchphrase for Paul. It's a physical thing you remember to bring. This is Chillers for Christmas. It's a collection of ghost stories set around Christmas. Hardback book edited by Richard Dalby. It's got a nice I've just borrowed this from the local library filter.
Starting point is 00:53:44 It really has, doesn't it? Cheap. Cheap. Oh, pictures for all these items. It's a book of short stories. Pictures for all these items will be on the website, thecheapshow.co.uk.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Shall I read a bit from the inside? Yeah, go on then. At Christmas time, said the stranger in the chimney corner, folks seem to think themselves privileged
Starting point is 00:53:59 to ask other folks to tell them stories. Arm yourself with the seasonally gripping stories contained in chillers for Christmas and you will never be at a loss when gathered round the flickering hearth on a Christmas Eve,
Starting point is 00:54:10 someone suggests, the traditional Christmas tale. That's bullshit. You don't tell ghost stories at Christmas, do you? No, you do. It's kind of a thing, mostly because I think of M.R. James and A Christmas Carol. Think about it, the most famous Christmas story of all is a ghost story. I guess, yeah. So it kind of makes sense.
Starting point is 00:54:25 It's maybe a British thing more than anything else. This was published by Michael O'Mara Books and in a sleeve jacket, on the jacket. Yeah. What's that called, that? Uh, sleeve? Margins. On the sleeve at the back. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:37 It says also available. Yeah. From Michael O'Mara Books. So it must have sold because they've got lots of titles. Ghosts for Christmas. Yeah. Murder for Christmas oh god Murder at the Opera
Starting point is 00:54:48 Murder Takes a Holiday and Country House Murders so they've basically gone to death little crime short story imprint that's so chillers
Starting point is 00:54:57 this to me also has the feel of them using stories where they don't have to pay the author or their estate because they're out of... The first story on the back listed is
Starting point is 00:55:07 a Rudyard Kipling story, so they probably don't have to pay copyright on that because it was over 100 years or whatever it used to be. Or minimal fees at all. So very cheap. Very much like a book you'd find in a pub when you're on holiday in Devon. Do you know what I mean? I do like the cover of
Starting point is 00:55:24 the Christmas tree, the kind of snowman drawing. holiday in Devon. Yeah. Do you know what I mean? I do like the cover of the Christmas tree, the kind of snowman drawing. You know, the walking in the air. It's got that kind of... Raymond Briggs feel. It's feel, but it's a skeleton's hand on the couch looking at the fireplace. Yeah, it's kind of cheesy and kind of fun, yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:36 And who have you got? You've got... What names of note? George Manville, Fen. They're all ancient, aren't they? Arthur Conan Doyle. Roger Kipling, we mentioned. That's about it. John Gladbury. I bet they're all ancient, aren't they? Or Conan Doyle. Roger Kipling, we mentioned. That's about it.
Starting point is 00:55:45 Or John Gladbury. I bet they're all sort of... Roger Johnson. They sound to me like they're all like late Victorian. So maybe they're not all horror stories.
Starting point is 00:55:53 Maybe they are kind of thrillers and chillers like spooky stories. They're chillers, yeah. It brings together 27 deliciously spined chilling tales set in locations
Starting point is 00:56:00 as diverse as India, France and Somerset and spanning over a century of storytelling but all are united by their Christmas theme. I think it's unfair on Halloween that Christmas also gets to do ghosts.
Starting point is 00:56:10 Well, that's why we have the nightmare before Christmas, isn't it? That's the halfway house between the two. But how much do you think it is? That's my go. It's your go, Paul. Sit and listen to him trying to cheat on this. Trying to get the edge. 75p.
Starting point is 00:56:23 And I will go for 50p. 75p, 50 will go for 50p 75p 50p next item can i hold it in my hand is it a real thing that you've remembered to bring no it is it's a thing i've remembered to bring this is a envelope and it has a picture of an elephant as a coat hanger. Sort of the do not disturb sign. But it says poo not disturb. And it's sort of portraying the elephant's back end is facing towards us. Yeah. But there's a reason why it says poo. Because all those coat hangers are made from recycled elephant dung.
Starting point is 00:56:59 They are shit. I mean, they're literally made of shit. Oh, really? I mean, not like... They've been processed and treated like... They smell nice and cardboardy. Yeah, like recycled cardboard and stuff. These are do-not-disturb hangers shaped like elephants.
Starting point is 00:57:13 It's hard to describe what they are. They're do-not-disturb hangers shaped like elephants, and they're all for when you're in the shitter, Paul. Would you do that, though? I mean, maybe if you have a house share and you don't have a lock on the toilet door. Imagine you moved into a new house share and you they'd be like sorry it's not working out some reasons look well let's go through yeah but for some reason imagine going to a house
Starting point is 00:57:33 seeing that and goes why is he hung on the kitchen door it's not okay basically these are little hangers to let people know you're in the in the business chamber doing the business yeah so one says what but the first one says in the lo chamber doing the business. Yeah. One says what? The first one says, in the loo, doing the poo. Doing the poo? Yeah. Like a dance? No, as in doing the poo to end all poos. Oh, right.
Starting point is 00:57:53 Okay. The second one is, on the phone, at the throne. All right. Good. Ha, ha, ha. Then we have poo not disturb. Which is fine. Poo not disturb's classic.
Starting point is 00:58:04 Which is what they advertise on the cover with The envelope Then we have the simple yet effective Poop in progress Use these hangers to make your time in the loo Precious and peaceful What the fuck Just to stop people trying the door
Starting point is 00:58:18 But is it if you don't have a lock Do you know what I mean You want to try and avoid people knowing that you're shitting it seems like you wouldn't this is a terrible novelty item that shouldn't exist oh i'm in a crappy situation and lastly poop in progress a set of five hangers for the loo made from the best ever elephant poo well there you there you go. They are awful. How much are they? Awful, awful, awful. But how much are they? 75. Okay, 75.
Starting point is 00:58:51 I'm on a bit of a purple streak in terms of this game, by the way. All right. Completely. When we did that pass the parcel version, I owned you ass. I'm going to say a quid. And also the sock game.
Starting point is 00:59:01 God, that gave me pleasure listening back to me beating you at the sock game after you'd had a go at my fingers paul all right good no well done all right right i've said a quid for that you said a quid for that yeah next item is this another one that isn't real no it's a real thing that i remembered to bring oh this is a cassette tape yeah nessie and the history of loch ness written by alan by Alan Campbell-McLean. Spoken by Ian Cuthbertson. And it's from a company called House of Scotland. This is a terrible
Starting point is 00:59:29 tourist item. I can't have wished we'd listened to it actually now before we got started. Let's see what it says on the inside matter. Ooh. There's a nice little map of the Loch Ness area. There's a nice little map of the Loch Ness area printed on the inside. I've taken pictures of all of these already. They're on the website. So yeah, have a look at this cassette. It looks like it's half kind of history
Starting point is 00:59:45 of the Loch and half history of Nessie. Yeah. And areas nearby. It says on here, the story of Loch Ness from historic times to the present day, told by Ian Cuthbertson. A tour around Loch Ness in sound reveals much of the daily life. I reckon this is going to be excellent. Mate, shall we take a quick break and have a listen?
Starting point is 01:00:01 Sure. Alright, we're going to take a quick listen. That way we can judge it fairly. The undoubted aura around Loch Ness has drawn some strange people to its shores. Alistair Crowley, the great beast, high priest of the occult, was one. The great beast once lived in Boleskine House, now owned by Jimmy Page,
Starting point is 01:00:20 lead guitarist of the rock group Led Zeppelin. Jimmy's associate, Malcolm Dent, tells a strange tale of mystery and magic. Jimmy Page bought Boleskine House because he has a very strong interest in Crowley and in magic. He's been very interested in magic and that sort of thing since almost since I've known him, and that's since I was 11 years old. And I think he was into magic before he picked up a bloody guitar.
Starting point is 01:00:52 Boleskine, really, he had had his eye on, and when it came on the market, he naturally snapped it up. It was sort of part of the collection, although it's a very nice retreat too. Crowley bought the place for a specific purpose, which was to conduct a magical ceremony called the Abramel Inn you weren't supposed to do but being Crowley he decided he was going to do it was very dangerous sort of ceremony to do with evoking your guardian angel but to do this you had to bring forth all the evil spirits and all the rest of it, which he claimed to have done here, just outside that door.
Starting point is 01:01:27 They came in through there. At the time, it was incredibly isolated here. I know that you had to come here by steamer on the loch. There was always stories about some of these spirits were still knocking around the place. I must admit, it was pretty weird when I first came here. The whole house was a bit strange. There were, I suppose you'd call them ghosts or spirits or something, inhabiting the place.
Starting point is 01:01:50 There's one real famous one, Simon Lord Lovett, the man who was beheaded after the 45. The story goes that he was beheaded and his head used to inhabit this house. And it did. I mean, the head rolls in the house. Crowley wrote about it, and I've heard it. When I first came here, I used to do a lot of writing. And I used to sit up at night, sometimes in this room and sometimes in the other room down the hall there, till about three or four in the morning.
Starting point is 01:02:20 And I used to hear this damn thing rolling up and down the corridor outside. And, I mean, I've never heard rolling up and down the corridor outside. I mean, I've never heard a head rolling along the floor, but this is what I imagine a head would have sounded like. It's stopped now. It doesn't seem to happen anymore. Although I got a bed earlier.
Starting point is 01:02:39 So we just had a little listen to it. Quite well produced. Quite well produced. Quite in-depth as well. Yeah, we thought it was going to be like, they built a city, a little township here in 1412. It's like, no, in the beginning of time. It went back to the beginning of time.
Starting point is 01:02:54 It was like really... The Earth ruptured. Yeah. So a very in-depth sort of history of the geological formation of the Loch, I guess. And then it goes into... Like interviews with people, like apparently Jimmy Page's mate. We've actually just put that in, so guess. And then it goes into... Like, interviews with people like, apparently, Jimmy Page's mate. We've actually just put that in
Starting point is 01:03:08 so we can talk about it. But yeah, he owned the house that Alistair Crowley used to have sex magic to try and open some big... To summon his guardian angel. The last podcast on the left did a really good three-part episode
Starting point is 01:03:20 breakdown of Crowley. And it goes into a lot more detail there. But effectively, he broke a man's mind with bum sex. Yeah. Basically doing this magic. He did. He certainly did. He was a power bottom.
Starting point is 01:03:30 He was. Yeah. The power bottom. He might have been the most powered bottom. Of all time. Of all time. The devil powered his bottom. No.
Starting point is 01:03:39 And then they've got other parts of this. The experts, the geologists and things. They have first-person accounts of of spottings of the monster. Oh, I saw the monster back in the day. So it's quite an interesting thing, actually. I was sitting there on my boat. Wait, I'm doing a story. Oh, I was out there on the rock in my wee boat going fishing
Starting point is 01:04:00 when all of a sudden the clouds seemed to just disappear and it was a spooky night. Not a single sand was being made, no it gosh, my glock, my galagosh. Cut to the end, it's a huge jobby. It was a huge jobby, it was a huge jobby. It was just a huge jobby.
Starting point is 01:04:19 Okay. Old Paddy all the way there, dropped his kegs and what I thought was the giant neck of a beast was just a jobby. Now, see, it works. It works. This castle thing, what's that? Castle.
Starting point is 01:04:31 On the cover. Lock, I don't know. That's not the house. That's not Crowley's house. It's not Crowley's house. It's not Crowded House either. No. No, it doesn't look much like Crowded House.
Starting point is 01:04:39 Anyway, how much do you think that was? That lovely cassette, which I think, if you were driving around Scotland in the 80s, when was that made, does it say? 1990. Okay, if you're in your car driving around Loch Ness and you put that in
Starting point is 01:04:50 while you're driving around, that'd be great to listen to, I think. Or a little Walkman as you're doing a walk. It is, it's well produced and it's a nice little thing actually, Paul.
Starting point is 01:04:58 I think it's a nice little thing. Nice little piece of ephemera, that. And you know what, we don't often have cassettes come along on Cheap Show, but that's the kind of stuff we should look forward it's nice to listen to the nice that i've got my yamaha i've got a very nice uh oh yeah when you put the uh noise reduction on you really got rid of that hiss didn't you i really did and it sounded a lot more robust and full and rich
Starting point is 01:05:15 it's nice that it's got touch buttons at yamaha the only thing that's wrong with it is the uh the loading tray is actually snapped yeah so you sometimes have to fiddle about this before okay i've had twice now. This might be the third time. Now, Paul, the other thing I wanted to mention is it's all died down, the whole Nessie thing,
Starting point is 01:05:30 hasn't it now? The whole monster thing. I mean, it's still Paul's... Didn't they do some major surveys with like sonar and they found fuck all? Yeah, there's no way. Proper computerized swims.
Starting point is 01:05:38 There's no way. There's anything down there. Well, they say, well, maybe it swims out and comes back in. It was like, well, no. You can hear the boats and the guy swims out
Starting point is 01:05:46 yeah but we can't do that because apparently like it's either above or below sea level which means it means things can't swim in and
Starting point is 01:05:52 out of it basically I see it's something like that I can't remember all the details yeah because it's not connected
Starting point is 01:05:55 it's not connected to the sea directly and whatever streams or small caves do directly are way too small for a
Starting point is 01:06:01 big beast like Nessie's to go through like Nessie's supposed to be so you know so you think pretty definitively bollocks. But it doesn't mean, it's like, well, it doesn't stop people going,
Starting point is 01:06:09 Disneyland, no, Mickey Mouse isn't real, does it? You know, it's all part of the... Yeah, but I remember when I was growing up, like even into the 90s, it was like, it could exist. It was on the table. Because... All that magic's gone from the world now, Paul, isn't it? Well, it's because we film a lot more of the world,
Starting point is 01:06:24 and as a result, we know a lot more of the world isn't as exciting as we think. So think about it. The last time it was popular in the 90s was when X-Files came through. And all of a sudden, people were back into cryptozoology and aliens and ghosts. And mysterious, unexplained phenomena.
Starting point is 01:06:37 And then you get another spike. There was a huge spike then, wasn't there? Then you get another spike about 10, 15 years ago when there's a boom of shows like Most Haunted and Ghost Hunting. And you do big hookups. Do you think it'll come it comes in cycles you think it'll keep coming in cycles um paranormal sort of uh interest all it takes is like a show or a movie to suddenly spark people's interest in the supernatural and then loch ness gets another wave of tourists for a bit who guessed
Starting point is 01:06:57 the last price uh so it'd be uh one two three so it's my turn to start this time thank you i'm gonna say that's 25p i'll go i'll go 35p 35p 40p sorry 40p 40p vinyl offer 40p 40p all right okay cool and then the last item is something i've forgotten it is a so what it's a real it's not really here you forgot it what's the opposite that right we can't cheer because it's not really here yeah that'll do yeah right so I'm trying to think of something better
Starting point is 01:07:29 but actually that will do so yeah this was a map a laminated map of Bangkok which in itself is just a load of it sounds like such a euphemism
Starting point is 01:07:37 what's it laminated with spank yeah the glist the glist of spliff the glist of spliff right The glist of spliff. Right. It comes down the window.
Starting point is 01:07:47 So it is a small laminated map of the tourist points in Bangkok. I've got a couple. I have one of LA. Of LA.
Starting point is 01:07:55 Yeah. It's smaller than that. Right. But did you see my one of New York? It's like a credit card that folds out. Did you see my one
Starting point is 01:08:00 of Manhattan? Yeah. All the museums in Manhattan which is from the 80s. It's very much a yuppie-ish sort of item
Starting point is 01:08:07 yeah gold with funny gold sort of margins I think this can fit in a wallet or in a coat pocket so it's easily you know usable
Starting point is 01:08:13 but it's what it is it's fine but it's not remarkable now what have I said my prices so far £1 for the mummy board game 50p for the chiller book 75p for the poo cards 40p for Loch Niller book, 75p for the Poo cards,
Starting point is 01:08:25 40p for Loch Ness, and then you've got the map. So I think you've just got over £3 altogether, I think, now on this. Can I change my scores, please? Go on. The map. The board game I'd like to put up to £1.75.
Starting point is 01:08:36 £1.75, yes. Yeah, and 90p for the map. 90p for the map. Yeah. I'm going to go with, for the map, 50p. 50p. Keep saying it. It's going to go with for the map 50p. 50p. He's saying it.
Starting point is 01:08:48 It's going to be fucking wrong, isn't it? I don't know. 50p. Is it time? Poindexter, release your points. Oh,
Starting point is 01:08:54 the must of Poindexter's crotch. You've done a good job again this week, Poindexter. Well done, Poindexter. You get special punishment. Butt rubs. Naked butt rubs. Shouldn't it be called
Starting point is 01:09:04 nubbishment or something? It's proper nubbishment. Give them nubbishment. Now, I'm opening the envelope. Right. It looks like it's been un-messed with, Paul. Yes, it was sealed. You have the answers there.
Starting point is 01:09:17 So you read them out in order, and I'll just read them out in terms of what we've got written down here, all right? Because we didn't have an order when we pulled them out of the bag. I'm not liking the look of this already. All right, okay. So we'll start with the first one. What's the first one on the list? The mummy board game.
Starting point is 01:09:29 Okay, you said 175. I said 150. See, I'm playing this good. All right. The price was? Yeah. Between, between, £1.50. Hey!
Starting point is 01:09:39 Between, but that gives you one as well, doesn't it? Yeah, see, that's because I play stratego. No, because you... I'm still in with a chance, even though you've got one on the nose. So, if you missed that and kept with one pound,
Starting point is 01:09:48 you'd have been betwingless. I totally would. So it was because you bottled it that you had to change it. Yeah. Well,
Starting point is 01:09:54 I know how to play this game. All right, next one. What have you got? The Christmas Horror Book. Christmas Horror Book. Yeah, good.
Starting point is 01:09:59 Okay, that was next. You said 50p. I said 75. 50p. Oh! Between me, we're neck and neck. Oh, yeah, I've got a betp. I said 75. 50p. Oh. Between me, we're neck and neck. Oh, yeah, I've got a between.
Starting point is 01:10:08 Three betwinks each. This is a thrilling denouement. Nice start. We're both scoring high here. All right. Next is what? The not present map book. Okay, the map.
Starting point is 01:10:19 You said 90p. I said 50p. What? One pound. Oh. I get a betwing because it's within 25p. Oh, I'm edging you. What have you got?
Starting point is 01:10:28 Four versus three. I'm rim-jobbing you now. I'm edging you out. Come on. Don't do Jimmy Sample. I'm not. That wasn't what I was doing. It was.
Starting point is 01:10:35 It was verging on Sample. It was more chimpanzee in the zoo. Also not good, Paul. Why? They shouldn't be in zoos. They're wild animals with intelligence and sentience, okay? Yeah, but I fuck them. Yes, thank you
Starting point is 01:10:48 Willy Wanker. Still hanging around, are you? Oh yeah, you never know when you're needed for a crap animal fuck gag. Yes, you never do. You never, never do. Next is what? What have you got next? Little shite poo signs. Okay. Which are the elephant, the worst item of today. Yes, considerably. Even though they're
Starting point is 01:11:04 recycling something. Yeah, which is fine but they're recycling worst item of today yes even though they're you know they're recycling something yeah which is fine but the cycling for another useless that is totally useless anyone who used that would be would come down in the respect of anyone yeah you knew them do you know what i mean move out of that flat you would you totally instantly it'd be the poo signs the little i'm having a shit sign i mean who would advertise that anyway Anyway. I'm having a shit. Did it smell bad? Yes, it smelled like egg. Anyway, you said 75p, I said a quid. For the literal shit poo signs, the survey said £1.50. Oh, neither then for us. That's a lot of money for that.
Starting point is 01:11:37 That's the same price as the board game. So it comes down to the last one, the lock, nest, cassette. I think there might be a fucking tiebreaker. Well. What did you say? You said 40p I said 25 we both earn a between
Starting point is 01:11:48 because the Loch Ness cassette Paul was 20p oh unfair for you but I still get in within the between 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Starting point is 01:11:58 1, 2, 3, 4 you win by one between but it wasn't the fucking shit show you thought it was going to be, did you, though? I am on fucking fire now. Give me all my per twings. We both did well here.

Starting point is 01:15:22 Well, I have drugs abuse and I smoke too much weed and it gets sometimes in the way of my daily routine. Sometimes I put stuff off for so long, I don't do anything but smoke during the day and then I have more work the next day to get through, which causes my anxiety to spring up, which in turn makes me smoke more. And as a result, I'm stuck in this loop of smoking
Starting point is 01:15:39 and avoiding work and feeling shit about myself on a daily basis. I have to keep busy. Otherwise, any moment I have alone I go into a deep, dark depression because I don't want to face the reality of my brain. So as a result I struggle. Do you have the payment? Yes. One titty biscuit?
Starting point is 01:15:56 Yes, here's the biscuit. Right. Help me. Cheer up. Fucking hell! More characters like this next week on the show that just doesn't quit. Yes, next week. Why not join us for a new episode
