CheapShow - Ep 279: Hole Ness
Episode Date: April 29, 2022After 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...

Paul Gannon.
Eli Silverman.
Welcome to Cheap Show.
And I go and I nuzzle.
So, Paul, what have we got coming up on the show today?
Today, in a very simple, no gimmicks attached episode of Cheap Show
that I want to make sure is a quick edit this week because I have stuff to do.
We have,
oh, I can't believe my eyes.
Take that off on your bingo card.
You want it to be short, man?
It's got to be short.
Eli, shut up.
Eli, let me just get out
all the information
before you say anything.
Eli, why don't you just,
you know, rein it in.
I'm ticking that off
on my fucking
Paul says it every week
bingo card.
One day we should just
get the bingo card out
and just do everything on it
out and get it out the way
in the first few minutes.
Listen, mate.
Yeah.
All right, make it a quick edit.
Tell me what the fuck's
coming up on the show.
You've made it a longer
fucking edit already
by saying,
because I want to make it
a quick edit this week.
You're going against yourself.
I'm sorry that,
I'm sorry I have to mention
the shirt.
I'm sorry, Captain Ramble Man.
Captain Ramble Man? Captain Ramble Man was ramble man was like hey you bingo god good game whatever you know
what i mean it's like look at your shirt it is so much like you just said two minutes ago all right
paul let's not attack ourselves and what we wear and how we dress no it wasn't that clothing is
fair game back to no you just said that was the whole it's whole point. It's a delicious garment. It's a little stiff
and it's a little bowling alley
kind of shit.
It's funny.
It's very bowling alley-like.
But I like it.
I like the brown
and the coloured stripes.
It's nice.
Very big Lebowski tribute act.
Fine.
But you just said
you wouldn't attack me
for my fashion.
Okay, well, don't say anything
about me then.
I haven't said anything about you,
you tumbleweed
of a fucking human being.
Tumbleweed of a human being?
Yes.
That's my put down for you.
And from the rest of this point onwards,
I'm going to do nothing but give you plaudits
and positive reinforcements.
Well, you're a stinging nettle of a human being.
Grubby little stinging nettle,
stinging the kids,
taking the joy out of their Sundays out.
I just wanted to go in the park, mister,
but no,
I got stung by the poor gannon nettle.
Oh, and now it's made me dizzy. to go in the park, mister. But no, I got stung by the poor gun and nettle.
Ooh, and now it's made me,
ooh, ooh, dizzy.
Well, I just want to say,
Eli, that I deeply appreciate your contribution
to this podcast.
Thank you.
Without them,
this podcast would be
a much lesser item
than it is currently.
Would be nothing.
It would be nothing, Paul.
It would be a barren wasteland.
It would be you
speaking into the void.
Alone.
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.
I particularly like your personal hygiene. And I particularly love the way you've arranged your room.
Listen, the House of the Pickles is the spiritual centre of everything we do here on the show, Paul.
Its essences, its smells.
No, the spiritual centre of this podcast is your arsehole.
Directly your bunghole.
Well, I'm glad you said that. That is right. The hole is the hole. The spiritual centre of this podcast is your arsehole. Directly your bunghole. Well, I'm glad you said that.
That is right.
The hole is the hole.
The spiritual hole.
The wholeness is my hole.
That's right.
Bob Wholeness.
The patron saint of Eli's...
Bob Wholeness.
Come on, we shouldn't speak ill of the dead.
He wasn't some kind of...
I'll have an O, please, Bob.
Transcosmic arsehole deity he is now
right you put your cheeks apart you can hear him play the saxophone
this is good this is good stuff now yeah we found it
bob holness the patron saint of eli's arse Right. What do we have coming up on the show today, Paul? Cheap eats, soda pop, and a price of shite.
So it's back to basics, very much...
Simple pimple.
Very much the core segments that you will come across,
if you were just to come across our podcast
after coming across your screen,
looking at aunties or something,
an aunties website, let's say.
If you're going to step in and stop this
you've come across that and then you come across us in the other sense of the word paul
in the sense of the word where you just so how about the live show we just like the front of
the stage have our audience jack off onto us how about that would you like that i don't want to do
that if we get them all to line up it's the reason i chose this life yeah and not the that life the
you don't think episode 300 should be celebrated
with copious amounts of strange... A huge bukkake party
in Harrow. No. Funny?
Funny? No.
I don't want any spunking.
So come to our show,
the bukkake party on August 13th
where we will invite you on stage
to unleash your arcs of jism
upon our faces. No, but in all seriousness
Paul, will there be any audience participation of any sort?
Probably.
There will be, won't there?
Of some kind.
Come on, we don't want to actually encourage
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.
Or gaseous.
Gaseous.
Gaseous.
What does that mean?
Of gas.
Oh, gaseous.
Gaseous, mate.
Get with it.
You make it sound like gape.
It's the word gaseous.
Yeah, well.
I am Gapius Maximus.
Stop it.
Hi, soldier, come here.
I'm Gapius Maximus.
Hello, sir.
How can I help you why would a soldier
say that
hello sir

I was going to be
a Roman soldier

sir. It's an honour to die in battle
with you, Emperor.
Emperor, sir.
Evening all.
I say, I say, I say.
I'm Gapius Maximus, shut up.
Right.
Do you know why I'm the
legion, the empire's greatest soldier, legion,
private, whatever they call them?
Because you've cast more blood upon the earth, sir,
than anyone else in this battlement.
Almost.
No, it is when they seek to strike me with their sword or mallet.
My gaping hole.
There we go.
Swallows them up.
It does.
It's mainly, It gapes so wide

This segment went off the rails
You know what?
I'm trying to delay this on purpose today Paul
Because

so we're going to get to that,
but that's all right.
I ate some already in America.

It's talking of chipping, chirping, chirpers.
Chirp eats.
Talking of chirps.
Yeah.
I've got baby pigeons on my balcony in the House of Pickles.
I think everyone should know.
You should see a doc about that.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.,
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.
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?
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
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!
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,
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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!
Are they?
No, they're sesame seeds.
They're not.
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. 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.
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?
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...
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.
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.
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
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,
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
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,
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.
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
Yeah
You've got the Taco Bell
Taco Supreme flavoured
sunflower seeds
Everything about that
reeks of fucking
poo poo
Well it reeks of
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
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
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
I'll just do that
You be stern with him
Because I can't
Alright
Yeah
Alright I'll put my foot down
Mr Jeremy
Yeah commit to the bit Eli go on
Mr Jeremy
oh hello
it's my turn now
thank you
hello
my boys
my boys my boys hi
hello juicy Jeremy
oh Paul my little boy
we're bringing you in for a reason today
you got me in to give you some soda
and talk about the soda pop all day long.
I love to talk about that soda pop.
And you know what?
It is my soda pop.
God, you tiring cunt.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
They're alright really
They're alright
They'll make it up
In the end
Right
Drink
We didn't even
Fucking tell them
Anyway
We got this
Mountain Dew
Ginger Snap drink
It's the
It's the joy of
Mountain Dew
Mixed with the joy
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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...
I think it's...
I don't know.
Hang on.
Let's have a look.
PepsiCo.
PepsiCo, right.
Yeah.
Well, I do not...
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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
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
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
Now, everyone likes to play It's the Price of Shite,
so join us after the sound effect.
You fucking arsehole.
Piri Piri Sauce came from Portugal,
and it uses bird's eye cheese.
Hello, welcome back to Cheat Show.
It is time for The Price of Shite with its theme tune that Eli's going to do for us now.
Eli, please take it away with The Price of Shite theme tune.
Oh, Piri Piri came from Portugal.
Piri Piri from Portugal.
And that's right.
If you value your job.
All right, I'll do it.
I strongly suggest that you do as you're told or i report you to hr
okay and you know that paul's a fucking cunt in hr i don't want to see him again he's got terrible
odor you know and you don't want to be mean to people about it do you but it's just it's this
smell of fucking garbage coming out of every like just his mouth his mouth, everything. He's got an illness.
That means he can't control his body scent.
And sometimes, because of his fat content,
it comes out in a kind of burnt tyre garbage smell, sweat, right?
So that's another thing I'm going to mark you down now for,
taking the mickey out of someone with an ailment.
So just keep on going, you insensitive fuck.
Jesus Christ.
Now, do you want to go over us again?
I'll do the fucking song, all right?
Or do you want to go see Paul and HR?
I don't want to go see him.
I will send you to Paul and HR.
I really don't want to go see him, mate.
Right.
Okay?
It's fucking miles up anyway.
Yeah.
It's like a bloody tower up there.
I shouldn't call it the HR office.
I call it the fucking,
the HR lighthouse.
The infinite lighthouse.
On the 13th floor.
Where all the admin is for Cheap Show on the 13th floor where all the admin is for Cheap Show
on the 13th floor
certainly is
I prefer hanging out
outside the
underneath the podcast
some fine wines down there
that's where all the
dirty dirty characters
hang out though isn't it
in the car park
under the building
yeah
playing jacks
they do play jacks
they've got their own
version of it
yeah I know
it's called jacks off
yeah good Poindexter's here hello Poindexter now we've we've agreed They've got their own version of it. Yeah, I know. It's called Jack's Off.
Yeah, good.
Poindexter's here.
Hello, Poindexter.
Now, we've agreed we're seeing other people.
So don't worry about that.
Is it an open relationship?
Yes, Poindexter will.
Yes, I've already told you it's purely consensual.
So would you mind if I Poindexter out?
You will never touch Poindexter.
It's not up to Poindexter, not you, is it? No, it's not.
You just said you've got an open relationship. Well, that's what I say. So why can't I go see Poindexter it's not up to Poindexter not you is it no it's not you just said
you've got an open relationship
that's what I say
so why can't I go see Poindexter
because I control
all of Poindexter's
comings and goings
well then that's not really
an open relationship then is it
anyone else apart from you
I wouldn't mind
so it's just me
only you
because you think
I'll show him a good time
and he'll run off with me
because you realise
I'll love him
and treat him right
and not just fucking
wear his fur out
on my groin rivet I'm going to put him on my pants right now if he's not careful well he can't because he realised I'll love him and treat him right and not just fucking wear his fur out on my groin rivet.
I'm going to put
him in my pants
right now.
Well he can't
because he needs
to do the
theme...
Oh god.
Don't put
Poindexter in
your cock pants.
You asked for
it.
No.
I felt all your
talk of going out
with Poindexter
has made me feel
insecure.
So I have to
reignite,
restructure our relationship. He's have to reignite, restructure
our relationship.
He's going to live down there
for the next two weeks.
By gagging him
with your cock mound
in your trouser department.
He's face down
in the cock mound.
Face down
in the cock mound.
Face down
in the mound.
Look, he can stick his head
right under the gooch
and shout along
to Bob Holness
at the back there.
Yeah, nice little chuck. And he's illuminated because shout along to Bob Holness at the back there. Yeah, you have a nice little chuck.
And he's illuminated because of the holiness of Holness's hole.
It's the fucking Price of Shite.
It's the fucking Price of Shite.
Oh, I want to do that!
It's the fucking Price of Shite.
Oh, no, it's gone on from that.
You're now in Poindexterland, so whatever we've moved on.

Goochland.
Now.
Yeah, Mound.

It's the price of shite, mate.
This comes from Ash.
Thank you, Ash.
Eli and Paul, I've been listening to your podcast for a while now,
having discovered it during lockdown and deciding to binge
every episode. Oh, Ash.
Oh, Ash. Even we've not done that.
No, we refuse to on principle.
What's the principle we refuse to?
Never look back. Never look back.
Always look forward. Always look forward.
And repeat what we do on a weekly basis.
Now I am up to date, I thought I would send this
to you as a thank you for all the hours of entertainment
you have given me.
Thank you.
I have a price of shite for you.
Details below.
And I also enclosed a gift
for each of you
that may appeal to your tastes.
Once again,

for many years to come.
Lovely, lovely.
Thank you, Ash.
Yes, we got two gifts from him.
You got a album,
a vinyl album which is uh a
recording of all of the moon landing stuff yeah which is i bet i bet if you got really fucking
wrecked stoned and turn the lights out and just listen to that i bet that'd be quite a nice
experience yeah i quite like the sound of that stuff it's nice record all of that stuff yeah
but they're talking about going to the moon. We're going to the moon.
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?
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
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?
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.
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
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,
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
Charles
is working in Alaska
and unearths
an Inuit statue
which holds a powerful demon
called Hob
Anarkarak
called Hob Anarkarak
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
a kind of
HP Lovecraftian
kind of creature
yes very Lovecraftian
yeah
eventually Slime in Space
is that one
that fucks me off
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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,
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
do we know
what system Ash is using
is he using the classic
classic
on the nose
two betwings
25p out
either way
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
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
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
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
fine
alright
I might be wrong
great
next item
alright
can I get to hold
this in my hand? It's a physical
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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
Murder Takes a Holiday
and Country House Murders
so they've basically
gone to death
little crime short story
imprint
that's
so chillers
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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
out of it basically
I see
it's something like
that I can't
remember all the
details
yeah because it's
not connected
it's not connected
to the sea
directly
and whatever
streams or
small caves do
directly are way
too small for a
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,
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,
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
of Manhattan?
Yeah.
All the museums
in Manhattan
which is from the 80s.
It's very much
a yuppie-ish
sort of item
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
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,
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.
£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.
It's going to be
fucking wrong, isn't it?
I don't know.
50p.
Is it time?
Poindexter,
release your points.
Oh,
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
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.
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.
Okay, you said 175.
I said 150.
See, I'm playing this good.
All right.
The price was?
Yeah.
Between, between, £1.50.
Hey!
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,
you'd have been
betwingless.
I totally would.
So it was because
you bottled it
that you had to change it.
Yeah.
Well,
I know how to play this game.
All right,
next one.
What have you got?
The Christmas Horror Book.
Christmas Horror Book.
Yeah,
good.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
We both did.
I'm happy to voice your per twings.
I would like to have four per twings now.
Per twing, per twing, per twing, per twing.
And five for me, please.
And here is your five.
Per twing, per twing, per twing, per twing, per twing.
That's the winning per twing.
That's the one that makes the difference.
Yeah, it certainly does. Poindexter, kiss me. Oh, fucking nowing, pit-wing. That's the Winnie Pit-twing. That's the one that makes the difference. Yeah, it certainly does.
Poindexter, kiss me.
Oh, fucking don't grab him!
No!
Stop!
He's Gooch of Beauty, Poindexter.
He's getting a gob full of Gooch.
Oh, no.
I tell you what, Poindexter,
would you like to meet Bob Holness directly?
He's stuffing it down his trousers.
I'm giving him an...
Oh, Poindexter, here's a bone for you. Oh, no. I'm putting in my Poindexter as a bone for you

oh no
take Poindexter out
I'm riding his face
I'm literally

He smells like heaven, Paul.
Does he?

Are they?
Yeah.
Is that a brand?
Yeah, heaven brand.
Is that the one where there's a pocket for your mobile phone?
You can put your Zippo lighter in.
Really?
You can put your keys in the other one.
And the front one, you can keep a little biscuit.
And I put a
jammy dodger in
right and then
what it gets
I don't know
I've got nothing
you have nothing
I want to end this
as soon as possible
because I'm beginning
to like mentally
white out and it's
really strange
you always do you
know I think you
have dyslexia of the
brain I'm not
getting I'm not
getting an ADHD
diagnosis
from you Dr.
Silverman
well my dad was a doctor.
He is a doctor.
Not a real doctor.
He's a PhD.
He's a titty biscuit doctor of nonsense land.
Titty biscuit doctor?
Of nonsense land, yeah.
Let's do that.
Let's just play that out, okay?
Hello, I've come for an appointment.
Hello.
I'm the titty biscuit doctor, yes.
And I've got a problem.
What is your problem?
Yes.
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
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?
Yes, here's the biscuit.
Right.
Help me. Cheer up.
Fucking hell!

Tattie bye.
Tattie bye. Bye now.
I really enjoyed that peri-peri sauce,
and I would give it, for its robust flavour,
sharp tang and lovely chilli aftertaste,
a solid 4.5.
