CheapShow - Ep 347: Thrift Pod
Episode Date: August 25, 2023Whilst Paul and Eli have carried on regardless, there have been nefarious plans developing in the background and its not good news for the “much loved” economy comedy podcast. Following the shocki...ng events of Red Nob Day, Richard Brandoff and Jimmy Biscuits are living in hiding on a busy roundabout. The other characters are also off the radar, and it looks bad for the extended CheapShow universe. To make matters worse, all those copy characters created by Brandoffski are making a push for dominance and it looks like they're going to succeed. Richard and Jimmy find out about the unbelievable success of “Thrift Pod” starring Saul and Levi and decide to check the podcast out. Turns out it’s pretty similar. Maybe TOO similar. Something is not right here. Why not make up your own mind and listen to both CheapShow AND Thrift Pod… Is this the end of everything we know and love?

This is a bloody rough, rough outrage.
Jimmy!
What?
Jimmy, Jimmy, come in here.
I've got something to show you.
I'm watering the roundabout petunias.
Yes, I know.
Do that and you need to do the guttering later.
I'll do the guttering, you big blunk.
But come in here for a second, would you?
All right, I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming.
What do you want?
There you are, Jimmy. Come over here, look at this.
Yes, it's a newspaper.
I've been reading this article in the Times, Ruff Ruff.
Yes?
It says, top up-and-coming comedy podcast.
Yes?
Ruff, number two.
Number two, yes?
I like a number two.
Thrift pod, Ruff Ruff, what's that? What's what, thrift pod Yes. I like it number two thrift pod
What's what I don't know
join Saul and Levi what and a cast of hilarious characters
I know that damn McNabb and Andre brand of Andre Panto. Oh
I know that Dan McNubbin.
And Andre Brandovsky.
Andre Brandovsky.
Oh, he's the reason we're living on a roundabout bus. Well, I kind of do like it on the roundabout.
I'd like it too.
I'd like a better roundabout.
I'd like a better roundabout too.
We've had, we've been through this.
But we're here because of the nefarious things that Brandovsky's done.
And now you're telling me why he's stepping on our patch.
It looks like they're setting up an alternative podcast.
And it's already more successful than Cheap Show?
Well, it's in the time bloody up and coming bloody...
What are we going to do?
We can't afford to lose Cheap Show.
I tell you what.
It's one of our incomes.
I know, I've still got the brand-off section.
Many incomes.
I know, I know, but I've still got copyright on the brand-off section, Ruff Ruff.
Yes, I know, but come on, what are we going to do?
If this thrift pub takes over, it could destroy Cheap Show.
Ruff, right, I'll tell you what we're going to do, Jimmy.
Yeah?
We'll listen to Cheap Show, and then we'll compare it to this one, which is bloody stupid.
So we'll listen to both of their recent episodes,
and we'll compare and contrast and figure out what the dilly-o-ding-dang-dong is going on.
Jimmy, you'll read my mind sometime.
We've been so close.
It's like I'm inside you.
Crawling around like a little worm.
Ruff, ruff.
So anyway, I got distracted.
We'll listen to both podcasts.
Let's download them now and listen
and see what we can see.
We could just stream them. Be easier.
And you do the guttering later. I do the guttering later. How are the petunias looking?
Oh they're looking like a dream. Good, good petunias. They're the best petunias. I'm
gonna enter them into Kew Gardens. Oh yeah. Yeah. Ruff ruff, ruff ruff. Right, let's
let's listen to these and see if they're plagiarizing. We can get them legally. Jimmy, you're a lawyer, right?
Uh, sometimes.
Yeah, exactly.
When I remember.
Exactly. So, Ruff Ruff, let's listen to them right now.
Let's listen to them right now.
Right Ruff Ruff now.
I hate you and your fucking noodle posse. Go J!
People love noodles.
It's just a fact of cheap show you're going to have to learn to fucking accept.
Cheap show.
Cheap show. It's the price of shite.

But all, all Mr Silverman Silverman, can I just say?
Aren't you going to do that bit where you go, what?
You know.

You know, the sort of stuff you do.
Don't just say you know.
That stuff you do.
Oh, it's the comedy, your comedy.
Okay, I got it.
Okay.
Welcome to Cheap Show, the economy comedy podcast, where we go through the bargain bins,
the charity shops
and power lines of Great Britain.
Why are you saying it like that?
I'm bringing another edge to it.
I'm giving a kind of, oh, tiger.
How is that?
No, come on now.
You're not connecting anything in your brain.
I'll connect.
I'll tell you what, I'll connect.
Oh, and your fish to your gooch.
Oh, you're going to punch my gooch?
I'm going to donkey punch your gooch, yes.
Oof, Mr. Silverman.
Sometimes I wish you'd tongue punch it. I will wind
you. I will push the wind out
of your nuts and out of your mouth.
Oh, and then what? And then just put it all back in. I would not
talk to you. Why? Because you'd have hurt me.
Hurt my gooch. Yeah, but you hurt me every
week mentally. No. You don't apologise
for that, do you?
Right, good, no.

so we'll be doing that.
I find sources for which to us to exist.
Yes, mate.

with those wonderful words.
Sources and words and phrases.

And I think I contribute
a lot with those bubbles
of topic pent up
topic bubble things.
Do you want me to step in, mate?
And I don't know

Shall I do that?
Chuck in a sentence Paul.
Hello my name is Paul Gannon

where we go for the bargain bins
and charity shops
of Great Britain
and bring you the treasure
we find amongst the trash.
It's the treasure amongst the trash!
Now with all that out of the way
I just want to say

team up episode with digitizer so biffo and sanya is going to be there we're sharing the show and

got plans what we've got plans do we yeah so just tell them we're going to do the album the vinyl
album oh next year we're hopefully going to do a one hour tv style episode of cheap show so no live

Anyway, so anyway...
I thought it was going to be versus.
Yeah, it is.
It's Digitizer versus Cheap Show.
Right.
Right.
Yeah.
So come along if you want to see what happens when us four share a stage
and do an episode of our collective shows together.
And it's a wonderful venue, and we're going to put on a good show.
So come along. Tickets are limited. Get them while you can.
Only about 12 quid, I think, all in.
It's 2.30. 2.30 in the afternoon.
The dentist o'clock.
Oh, it's the dentist o'clock.
Paul, because I have a sort of tendency to kind of nap around that time.
So can I nap?
Actually, you know what? Can we go
tag each other, team each other out?
You can have a nap
while Sanya and Biffo do something.
I'll tap out when I want a little shush-nush.
A little snoozy.
I'll fucking give you tap out, my mate.
I'll give you tap out.
I'll fucking give you tap out.
If you want to have a little nap, Eli,
when Biffo and Sanja are doing a thing on stage,
you can do that.
I've done that before.
Look, I will put your hand in a bowl of water
when you're sleeping to make you wet your kegs.
Myth.
Pardon?
Myth.
It's not like...
That's a myth about putting your hand in water.
Is it?
Absolute.
In that case, I'd just piss on you.
I mean, that would be more of a prank.
It would be, wouldn't it?
It would be, because it'd just be...
Eli, I pranked you.
Why?
I pissed on you.
It's not a prank, is it?
I know, but there's a...
But I pissed on you.
There's a thin line, isn't there?
Is it really a prank?
Just to physically hurt someone when they're asleep?
If I said, Eli, here's a shower for you before the show.
Have a quick shower.
But I'd loaded the water tanker with my piss.
I probably wouldn't notice.
I'd probably notice,
depending on how old the piss was.
It's a couple of weeks of stagnant piss.
Oh, then I'd notice.
It'd be rich with that kind of...
Like that tannin tea kind of texture.
I know, because we used to have to piss in cans of Coke
because it was late at night
and put them in the cupboard.
So I've seen piss in all stages of being left in a can of coke.
And now it's time for Eli's Tales from the Dance Floor,
where he regales us with a story from his time DJing.
Eli, please now continue to tell your story.
Now.
No, Tales from the what?
Dance Floor.
No, this isn't the dance floor.
It's someone's house in the cupboard.
Put those mini cans. No, I'm not talking about piss no more. You have a Tales from the Dance Floor floor. No, this isn't the dance floor. It's someone's house. It's in the cupboard. Put the... What? Those mini cans.
No, I'm not talking about piss no more.
You have a Tales from the Dance Floor.
You know those mini cans?
And at seven minutes,
I would like you to now continue to do so and do it.
You don't see those mini cans so much these days, do you?
Mate, tell your story,
or there'll be no story at all.
Oh, Tales from the Dance Floor.
Yes.
Okay, Paul, it's time for Tales from the Dance Floor.
Good.
I was DJing.
And... Right, no, I'm cancelling this.
No, no, don't cancel.
You cannot cancel it.
Well, then do it.
People love to hear it.
It's my whole...
It's my little
enclosed subject bubble.
I'll give you fucking subject bubble
enclosed bubble.
Stop saying that.
Stop saying that.
I love it.
Subject bubble.
Now, Tales from the Dance Floor.
I was DJing.
Je. At what venue? You know, it's a the Dance Floor. I was DJing. Je.
At what venue?
You know, it's a soft G sound in the middle of that word.
Je.
Like, je.
I'm going to hover my finger over this button.
I'm going to hover my finger over the stop button of this recording.
And if at any point I feel like you're just not going to deliver the story in a concise way,
I'm just going to stop this segment.
I'll deliver the story, Paul.
Look, here's my finger.
Don't hover your finger threateningly over the button.
Well, then do it.
Do it.
Just please do it.
Do it.
I'm going to do it.
I was DJing the other night.
No fucking tangents.
Tell your story.
That's not a tangent.
It is.
I'm simply saying
what I was doing.
DJing.
Mate.
And this young woman
walked up to me
and there was two incidents
God
God please
there was actually
two incidents Paul
yeah
firstly a pair of young ladies
because the bouncer is
someone I haven't worked with before
yeah
who guards the stage
usually the old hands
who've been working there
for a year or more
yeah
door people
security staff
should I say
they know
not to let any old bastard
or anyone
up on the stage
because they just don't,
they know it's just useless.
They're going to bother me.
And there's expensive
musical equipment
on the stage.
I'm in absolute
fucking agony.
Yes.
So this is the background
of the story.
It's because the door person
wasn't as experienced
that these people
were allowed up
to give me,
Right. give me right give me
bother right and they said can you say happy birthday to simon it's his 30th i was like no
well i said i don't have a microphone oh yeah i was gonna say you don't have a mic do you i don't
have a microphone here i can't say it yeah oh could you get there's anyone gonna be here
later who could say happy birthday 30th simon um and i went oh the band you could talk to the
band and they go no could you she goes could you say it could you and it's like they want you
specifically and i went and yeah i did what people always advise me to do in these situations we just
agree to it yeah and then not do it yes well i've been saying for years well i did it paul at the
end of that i went oh yeah i'll say it and they went, and it's like, yeah, I'm going to say shit about Simon's story.
And a bit later,
an Irish young lady came up to the decks.
A diddly diddly.
And had a request
for a particular rock and roll artist.
20 points if you can guess which one.
Gary Glitter.
That's not rock and roll.
I think it's rock and roll.
Why are you just going,
Gary Glitter.
It's me being edgy.
All right, so, okay.
Give me some parameters. I just think it's someone edgy. Give don't you just go, it's me being edgy. All right, so, okay, give me some parameters.
I just think it's so edgy.
Give me some parameters.
What parameters are there?
Was it a 50s artist?
Rock and roll.
Yeah, but 50s rock and roll?
That's the only kind of rock and roller it is,
Daddy-O.
Then it's going to be
someone that they would know,
and the only one they know
would be maybe Chubby Checker,
or maybe Bill Haley and the Comets
with Rock Around the Clock.
You're in the right area
it's getting something
like that isn't it
what would they know
because there's been
a huge musical
and film
about this particular
star who's white
as well
a white rock and roll star
Elvis
no
there was one
though wasn't there
I don't mind an Elvis request
this is someone
who I personally
in the pantheon
of like great
classic rockers
I personally don't rate
that much Jerry Lee Lewis good yeah he was good he's better classic rockers, I personally don't rate that much.
Jerry Lee Lewis.
Good.
Yeah.
He's better than this guy, I reckon.
I don't like all of Jerry Lee Lewis's music.
Yeah, all right.
I like some of his music.
Great balls of fire.
That one is a good one.
Come on, that's a good one.
I've got big balls and they're on fire.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
I've got big balls and they're on fire.
Boom, boom, boom, boom.
Oh, God, my balls.
They're hot old balls.
Goodness gracious.
My balls are on fire. I've got balls. I've got balls. I've got balls. I've got balls. I've got balls. I've my balls. They're hot old balls. Goodness gracious. The balls are on fire.
I goggle balls and I goggle my mouth.
And then I go down deep down south.
And then I slurp.
And then I burp.
Goodness gracious.
Goggling a man's balls.
See, like.
Goggling a man's balls.
See, like.
Right, so I don't know who the artist is
please tell me
Buddy Holly
fair enough
oo-wee-oo
I look just like
Buddy Holly
I find it annoying
the way Buddy Holly
goes
I mean that's an
annoying sound
isn't it
Google game
marvellous
if you knew
Peggy Sue
if you knew Peggy Sue If you knew a Peggy Sue
There's that other British one who sounds like that as well
He sounds like
What do you want if you don't want money
What do you want if you don't want
Baby
Kiss you once in my life
Baby
Who's that?
No you're right
it sounds a lot more
like Woody Woodpecker
when you do it
anyway
they asked for that
and I said no
right
and they looked at me
like pleadingly
and I went no
got a sweat on that
and they went
pleadingly looked at me
and then I went no
and then she went why
and I said I don't like
Buddy Holly
okay and she said fair enough ooh I said, I don't like Buddy Holly.
And she said, fair enough.
I do not look like Barry Hardy.
Barry Hardy?
Barry Hardy?
I don't know.
Russell's brother.
Salt of the Earth is Barry Hardy.
Russell Hardy couldn't trust him as far as you can throw him.
Barry, absolute
staunch, salt of the earth.
What a great guy.
Oi, oi, Barry.
Always gives you an odd in the wing.
Always there for you.
Yeah.
If you need to borrow money.
Fiver.
Gives him away.
He fucking flies out of his wallet.
Good old Barry.
Barry Harty.
Barry Harty.
Fucking.
God bless you.
God bless that man.
Is that your story, Dom?
No.
She said. Please. She said. fucking God bless you God bless that man is that your story Dom no she please
she said
and then she asked
for
this is the end
of this anecdote
now
and segment
forever
so I've said no
she said fair enough
I don't like Buddy Holly
I just like Buddy Holly
ooh
and you're Mary Tyler Moore
hey
come on
we're nearly there
we're nearly there we We're nearly there.
Oh, we are.
It's 14 minutes.
And then she said,
what about Move On Up by Curtis Mayfield?
I didn't want to play it.
Yeah.
Because it wasn't really going with what I was playing.
I was playing sort of classic rock and roll-y stuff.
So Buddy Holly is a fair enough thing.
And then, so I said, no, the band play that one.
Because sometimes they do. They do. That's clever yeah sometimes they do they fear it so i'm using
strategy now good that's deflection strategies which people have to play it but the band has
that on there and then i'm told not so i do do some of that sneaky deflection stuff like that
um and i trick of the trade that's a trick of the trade i'll give you I'll give you a fucking trick of the trade listen
no violence
around Barry
no
I don't like violence
zero violence
policy Barry
he really does
yeah
but you know
we've said he's a great bloke
but I've seen him
yeah
but you just don't want to upset him
that's the problem with Barry
you really don't
because I've seen him as well
he rips people apart
I've seen him fucking
take out people's teeth
with his thumb and forefinger
I've seen that as well.
I think that's a party trick.
That's why they call him the dentist, isn't it?
The dentist Barry Hardy.
2.30, now.
Can we wrap this up?
The thing is, I'm right now editing this at home going,
why couldn't we wrap this up earlier?
And then, no, this is the little punchline.
Yeah.
She asked to move on up
by Curtis Mayfield.
I say, the band will play that.
They didn't.
Oh.
Did she come back then
and say, oh,
she didn't do it.
No, she didn't give a shit.
None of them did.
Drunk by then,
off on the reservation.
Fuck it.
I don't,
I think it sort of cheapens,
I think it's fine
if you have your birthday party
in a place,
but just,
it's cheesy when everyone's like,
oh,
whose birthday is it you know it's
tacky anyway before we
end this segment sort of
say happy 31st birthday
to Simon Adams it's his
birthday this week is a
long time but listen to
the show I'll give you
a happy birthday
fucking hell mate
let's crack on
all right
so far so good boss All right.
So far, so good, boss.
Sounds like classic cheap show to me.
Yeah, same old.
Same old shit.
It's the same old shit every week, isn't it? I'll give you same old shit.
No, don't you.
It's very funny, Jimmy.
It's very funny stuff.
Jimmy, it's fine.

I don't...
You're going to listen to...

They are copying everything.
They're stealing everything.
It's the tales from the dance floor,
the disco diary,
the Rothbrand Brandoff.
Your name,
Rothbrand Brandoff,
you've been thrown out.
That's where I get my money from.
That's where you get your money.

They are successful.
They are successful.
Jimmy.

I've got an ear open.
Well, let's see what Cheap Show Normal Cheap Show are doing.
Oh, yeah, let's do that.
Bum, ba-bum, ba-bum, bum.
Oh, off, brand, brand, off, off, brand, brand, off.
Biddle, diddle, off, biddle, off, brand, off.

Do they, then?
And do you ever listen back and hear yourself do moments like this and just die inside?
Because you should.
Do you know what?
It should be deeply embarrassing that you behave like that.
I think shame is useless.
What?
Shame is useless? It's a useless emotion, isn't it isn't it why is it good does it do anyone it stops people from just
getting their cocks out in front of strangers yeah that's a big part of shame isn't it there
is that yeah are you telling me you would like to just whop it out from any other person i'm just
saying what's the point feeling shamed you've done something you did it that's what you can't
not do it that calls you a sociopath doesn't it you can't you're a sociopath you cannot do it
again so if you do it once it's not shameful but if you do it. That calls you a sociopath, doesn't it? It calls you a sociopath. You cannot do it again.
So if you do it once, it's not shameful.
But if you do it twice, it's shameful.
All I'm saying is, wouldn't life be better if you didn't have to feel any negative emotion?
Yeah.
But unfortunately, you don't get that luxury unless you're a psychopath.
Shame, I think, is like a secondary emotion.
Because anger has a use.
What's the use of shame?
It just stops you getting your job out.
Yeah, exactly.
That's a really big one.
You know what I mean? It's a shame. It just stops you getting your job out. Yeah, exactly. That's a really big one. You know what I mean?
It's a big one.
Shame prevents us from maybe making
a fool of ourselves
and going too far.
I just think it's sort of like
it's a more socially
connected emotion
than some of the other emotions.
I still think shame is important.
Yes, I agree.
It plays a social function,
obviously.
So therefore...
It's not real, isn't it?
It's not like anger.
You know what really is an emotion you can get rid of?
Love.
Fuck off.
Get rid of it.
Zigga-zigga.
No, I don't.
I'm a lovely man, and all I want is love,
and to be loved, and to have love.
Love.
Zigga-zigga.
No, it's not.
I'm sweating.
Yeah, you are.
Just so you know, he almost pooed himself recently.
Oh!
So he had to go drop some off at the thing,
which is why the energy
has changed in the room
because I was really
kind of upbeat.
Then it was like,
oh,
I got a shit.
I really,
off he went.
I'm glad this is what
we talk about all the
time though,
you know.
Well,
I'm just saying,
I just think if anyone,
if anyone's listening
and they're going,
why has the vibe
changed all of a sudden?
It's like,
well,
I'll tell you what,
because Eli ruined
the momentum by
dropping his guts.
So it's going to leave that hanging
like the scent you left in the bathroom.
Oh.
Talk about fog on the tine.
Don't start that.
Yeah.
It's funny to me.
Anyway, it's time for Off-Brand Brand Off.
We take a brand
and compare it against
its off-brand contemporary
and we decide
not only which is better,
but can you notice the difference?
It's really that simple. Which is better value, I is what we also that plays a big part in it as
well uh paul yeah hello i'm eli silverman i've done that don't need to do that again i'm just
reintroducing myself because i'll be taking on the garb the role the very important position
within the pod of super taster in the panthe. And I will be testing my buds to the limit
with this one.
He's a Super Taster!
That's right.
Wow!
Super Taster!
Hello, I'm Eli Silverman
and I'll be donning the garb
of the Super Taster for this segment.
Super Taster!
You, Paul.
Ow!
You, Paul. Yes. Have you produced a blindfold for the super
taster myself a bit sick doing that scream oh we don't don't let any sick out it'll mix with
the smell of my we've got a letter and it came in a box i'm going to mention this in a minute
but i'm gone dear cheap show i hope this package finds you well well, we'll get to that. I'll give you
get to that.
As promised
on the formerly
known bird app,
I've sent you
an exciting new version
of Off-Brand Brand Off.
Off-Brand Brand Off
we can do.
I present to you
a vegan
Off-Brand Brand Off.
First of all,
we have Kinder Bueno
versus Love Raw
Cream Wafer Bar.
I love raw cream in a different context. Cream Wafer Bar. I love raw cream.
In a different context.
Yeah, I'll give you fucking raw cream.
Will you?
Fucking raw.
Raw cream.
Straight from the pipe.
You're merging the concept of lovemaking with violent punching.
I'll give you fucking violent lovemaking.
Now, what are you saying?
Right, and insert any jokes you see fit here about that name.
Well, I'll insert
fucking you in there.
Well, fucking give you that.
I'm doing that.
It's this thing
I do this week.
It's a terrible thing
for an audio format, Paul.
What, that I shake my fist
at you when I do it?
I don't know,
it makes me laugh.
No one can see that.
I don't care.
Why?
And also,
I've sent the original
and best pickled onion
monster munch
versus crave monster feet. The absolute disappointment I felt when I became a vegan and best pickled onion monster munch versus crave monster feet.
The absolute disappointment I felt when I became a vegan
and found out that monster munch still contains milk.
No, it doesn't.
Oh, milk.
It's vegetarian, but it's not vegan.
Monster munch contains milk, so I couldn't have it anymore.
I'm still not over it.
Nor do I know why so many crisps have milk in them.
It doesn't seem right to me.
It's a wh a way it's more
like a whey product isn't it the curds oh yeah i think they use whey because they can um i use it
way too much if you ask me manipulate hey i think they do it way too much if you ask me i blame the
curds i don't know i think that the manufacturers can do a lot of different flavour jobs with whey.
I think it's quite a versatile chemical constituent that they can do.
I'm just trying to answer the question.
Who was that girl who had curds and whey?
Little Miss Muffet.
Little Miss Muffet.
Sat on her tuffet eating her curds and whey.
She was into tuffets, curds and whey.
And not spiders.
And not spiders.
From what I heard, one sat down beside her and frightened Miss Muffet away.
Was she drinking cider as well?
Was she into that as well?
No, because that isn't in the original nursery rhyme, is it?
You hairy cretin.
Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet drinking a fucking pint.
She had some gin, she had some rum, and then she fucking got a fight.
Go on.
What did she do?
What did she do when she got drunk?
She flashed a man to a spider.
Oh, no, right. The spider died drunk? She flashed a man to a spider. All right.
The spider died.
Because she flashed her minge.
Spider was like, oh, I don't know what to do.
Oh, I'm not crawling no more.
It was like all eight of its little arms twitching.
You need more shame.
Flange.
What else is in this letter?
So the letter goes on to say,
I need to tell you who the letter comes from as well.
Just want to say thank you for all the laughs
and brightening even up my darkest days.
You guys kept me company when I gave birth alone in 2020
while my husband, family and friends
weren't allowed in the hospital
to see me or my baby thanks to that virus.
Wow.
I may have been alone,
but I had you guys making me smile and help
me drown out all the noises on the labor ward those places are loud thank you for always being
there your hard work does not go unnoticed and is always appreciated but enough of that get on
that blindfold and get to work lots of platonic love sarah known as dog and lamppost on twitter
thank you sarah a few little bits and bobs we'll get to, but we're going to do
the Monster Munch
multi-pack
against the Crave
Monster Feet.
That's what we're doing.
What about the bueno?
Ah!
Well, okay.
Yeah.
Sarah, I need to apologise.
I don't know what happened
between you sending this package
and it getting to us,
but when it arrived
the other week,
there was a hole cut in it
and a tape over it
saying this has been damaged
in transit or whatever it is. But there was a great big hole cut into it and a tape over it saying this has been damaged in transit or whatever it is.
But there was a great big hole cut into it.
So when I opened it up and I saw the thing about, you know, the Kit Kat and the vegan Kit Kat.
The raw cream.
Raw love cream.
About the Kinder Bueno and the love raw cream.
The love raw cream.
They're not in the pack.
I mean, you just need to put the raw in front of the love and change that around and it is raw love cream.
Which is quite, not literally, but could be very much
raw love cream.
Describe spunk.
I mean,
a man's spunky ejections,
Paul.
Yes.
A loopy,
thick rope,
if you like.
A gloopy rope
of thick,
glistening globus.
A jism lasso.
Air globus.
Wafer bar.
Bye.
I don't know what I'm doing.
Globus.
So, so what?
There's no fucking, there's no brainer.
It looks like someone has taken it out of the box.
Hang on.
Out of the box.
Why?
I don't know.
What?
What?
Fucking the people who work for the Royal Mail like Kinder Bueno that much.
I can't give you an explanation.
How do they know there's Kinder Bueno in there?
No.
No, they leave the brainer.
Why wouldn't they just take everything?
It just looks like someone's cut into it and grabbed that.
This is ridiculous.
I know.
But what can I tell you?
It's not in the box.
There's a hole in the box.
I need my love cream and I need it raw.
Well, unfortunately, Eli, I can't give you raw...
Bueno, lovely love cream.
I'll fucking give you...
I'm going to give it.
The fist's coming up. It gonna give it the fist's coming up
it's coming up
it's coming up
it's there
it's there
I see it
right
oh well
so unfortunately
all we can do is
the monster munch
and crave monster thing today
alright I'm sorry
I feel like
they do look very similar
from what Sarah said
in the letter
yeah
there must be a big difference
is what I'm predicting here
because
she said ironically enough she craved the original yeah she craved but she could not eat it
because of the way way the way they put way in it paul yeah does it have weight yeah it says per
per meters no what's it say per meter from milk way per meter per per um per meter per meter is weigh per metre. Per metre. Per metre. Is that it? It's not per metre.
Weigh from the metre.
Metres.
Weigh per metres.
I'll give you
weigh per metres.
That's not just
your get out
from every...
It is.
This week, it is.
I'll give you...
Keeps on going.
So we're going to be doing
Crave versus Monster Munch
right now next.
From what she said
in the letter about
really missing real Monster Munch, I believe this is going to be doing Crave versus Monster Munch right now next. From what she said in the letter about really missing
real Monster Munch, I believe this
is going to be relatively easy for
the Super Taster. Well, we'll see, won't we? And that Super Taster,
Paul, just if everyone is not aware,
the Super Taster on Cheap
Show, it's me, I'm the Super Taster,
and I
will take that garb on. Tedious
wank. Now, Paul. Yes?
Fetch me the blindfold.
Mate.
I'll give you
fetch me the fucking blindfold, mate.
Come on.
Alright, let's go get it.
Let's go get it.
Alright, back from the fucking sound effect.
Like, fuck off.
Hehe.
Right.
Now,
it's time for the fucking section, right, where you fucking...
Real deal or bad meal, I want a real deal or a bad meal, I want a real deal, bad meal, deep about a deep meal, gonna get the big man.
It's real deal.
That's our little jingle, that is.
Little jingle.
That fucking, fucking, which when you fucking try to tell...
Oh, yeah.
Right.
Because I am the flavour master.
You're the fucking flavour master.
My tongue knows all the secrets of the flavour universe.
I tell you that for nothing.
Now, we want to fucking see if it's like a fucking real deal,
like it's a fucking good value for fucking money, right?
Yeah?
Eh?
Right?
Or it's fucking terrible.
A fucking...
It's fucking shit.
Fucking hell,
you don't have to go on.
Just get in a bit
with that fucking
fucking...
Have you got your
fucking blindfold on?
I've got the stuff
What are we going to do
this week?
So I was sent this
by Brandowski.
Oh, he fucking gets great...
He sent me...
He gets fucking great scram he does, doesn't he?
He sent me a Kinder Bueno.
Ich, oh, bueno.
And he sent me, er...
Love Raw Cream Wafer.
Oh, that sounds a bit fucking dirty, that does.
It's vegan, too.
Oh, I'll give you...
I'll fucking give you Cream Wafer, Love Raw.
Fucking do, fucking... Will you have sex with me, though? I love fucking give you cream. Wait for love, Rob. Fucking do, fucking,
will you have sex with me though?
I love,
I love raw cream.
Fucking Levi.
I love raw cream.
Levi, I'm begging you
to fucking actually have,
like, make love to me.
Every fucking week.
Every week.
I have to put up with this,
this weak,
horrible,
boring,
predictable shit from you.
Every fucking week.
Don't you get bored of it?
Fuck no.
Anyway, we're doing these.
I've got to put it on my tongue so the flavour master can adjudicate.
Hold it.
Put it on your tongue and you make me come.
And I'm just doing a song which is just a fucking bit.
All right, so we've got two. We've got Bueno, Kinder Bueno, and then a knock a fucking bit. All right, so we've got two.
We've got Bueno, Kinder Bueno,
and then a knock-off fucking brand.
Yeah, Love Roll.
Where did these come from?
I don't know.
Just sent to me by Brandovsky,
so I thought, fuck it.
All right, then.
Doesn't really fucking matter where it comes from, does it?
Have you got fucking...
I've got a fucking blindfold.
I've just put a fucking cum sock on my eye
from my room or something. Oh, it's a crispy fucking sock in a fucking blindfold. I'll just put a fucking cum sock on my eye for my room or something.
Oh, it's a crispy fucking sock in your fucking room.
Fucking dripping, drippy, drip, droop, drip, drop, droppy, gooey, blip, blop, blap.
Oh, fucking welcome to Levi's fucking mouth-da-da business hour.
Oh, here we go.
Oh, you're fucking nonsense.
What the fuck?
Fuck off.
Come on, let's just fucking get this going.
All right, get the fucking blindfold.
Right, get your lovely blindfold on, Mr Silverman.
I've got the blindfold, Paul.
Now, we've got two packs of crisps here.
We've got Monster Munch.
Everyone knows Monster Munch, don't they?
Everyone knows Monster Munch.
We tackled it before on the show, even really recently,
with the pickled onion fiasco.
I have a theory, if I may, Paul.
Yes.
Okay, so you know that we did a comparison
of the new pickled onion Monster Munch flavour potato crisps.
Yes.
Which were terrible, we thought.
Piss poor.
And we compared them against the actual pickled onion flavour crisps. Piss poor pickled onion crisps. Again, made by Walkers. Yes. Whichiss poor. And we compared them against to the pickled onion, actual pickled onion flavour crisps.
Piss poor pickled onion crisps.
Again, made by Walkers.
Yes.
Which are classic.
You can't go wrong.
They're delicious.
The texture and the flavour twixt each other hand in hand.
Skip down the road to merry flavour land.
Indeed.
Indeed.
And I made me think.
I made me think.
What made me think this is it made me reconsider my relationship with
pickled onion flavor monster munch and how that's changed since they changed the fucking flavor which
they fucking did and it's that weaker less tart less good flavor that they put on the their limited
edition potato crisp ones right and that's why it was much weaker because in fact pickled onion
monster munch haven't tasted like pickled onion monster munch in years since they went And that's why it was much weaker. Because, in fact, pickled onion Monster Munch haven't tasted like pickled onion Monster Munch in years.
Since they went new, it's gone down.
I don't know.
Listen, I'm the super taster and you've got to listen to me on this one.
Right. Well, let's see how he gets on this week.
Because, again, Monster Munch and we've got these other things, Crave.
And it says gluten free. Yep. Lactose free.
Gluten free.
Of course. Milk free, obviously.
Vegan, really need to ask
question mark
and the shape
fascinatingly enough
is exactly the same
as the monster munch
so even that
should hope
hide the sins
of one or the other
do you think there'll be
vastly different sizes
I won't know until I open them
so it seems to me
that this Crave product
has been literally designed
to fill in for those
who can't have that no more
vegans who
who crave
are Cra crave exactly see
crave huh oh yeah you see what i've done there it is it's vegans it's crave that's a clever name
because that that's what i tend to hear vegans saying they crave typically vegetarians and
vegans bacon i crave bacon but there's certain foods aren't there there's certain flavors
there's certain flavors which people crave.
Hey,
listen,
love.
I bet they've got
some terrible...
Hey, darling,
shut up,
listen to this.
All right, darling.
It says here,
here at Crave,
we are all about taste.
We won't accept
anything less
than ridiculously delicious.
Our products are normal.
So much so,
it's extraordinary.
They are non-preachy,
fricking delicious and are good enough that you don't have an allergy intolerance or be a vegan Normal. So much so, it's extraordinary. They are non-preachy, freaking delicious,
and are good enough that you don't have an allergy intolerance
or be a vegan to enjoy them.
You don't have to have them.
Okay.
We're here to give you what you crave.
Yeah, okay, so they're bigging themselves up.
Don't...
No, it's fine.
I just don't want to open them now in case the sound of the bag...
I don't want to get...
I'm putting my blindfold on.
All right.
I don't want any cheating.
I think I'm going to be able to distinguish these.
But... Now, I will say, he's putting
the... It's a grey
scarf today. He's wrapping around
his stupid, bulbous, onion-shaped
head. Onion? A lot of people
got onion-shaped heads. I'll take that. Yeah, but yours is more
onion than others. What do you mean, more onion?
Your head is more onion than
others. Fuck you. Right.
So, I've opened both bags. Am I all right in mic placement?
How's mic placement?
Yes, yes.
All right.
Where are you, mic placement?
I'm over here.
Hello, mic placement.
Fuck off, mic placement.
Fuck off you too, you cheeky arsehole.
Get out of here.
Get out of the podcast, please.
You cheeky arsehole.
I'm doing...
Paul, tell this guy to fuck off, will you?
You cheeky arsehole.
That's not a characteristic.
That's just a repeated phrase. You cheeky arsehole. That's not a characteristic. That's just a repeated phrase.
You cheeky arsehole.
Mic placement, fuck off.
Well, get out, mic placement.
All together.
You cheeky arsehole.
It'll be on all the T-shirts next week.
Right, so I will say to the eye,
they both look very, very similar in size and shape.
Same size, same size.
Yes, pretty much.
So I'm going to hand you now one of these two crisps.
This is going to be difficult.
Is it?
Yeah, because if they really are good, the Crave ones.
Sorry, there you go.
I've placed crisp A in his hand.
He's doing a snuff.
Now, it smells pickled onion-y.
Good, that's the point, isn't. Now, it smells pickled onion-y.
Good, that's the point, isn't it?
It does smell pickled onion-y, but to my first niff-naff-niff,
to the first niff, go the victor.
There's something that isn't monster munch about this.
Monster munch?
No, you're right, it's not monster munch.
There is something that isn't monster munch about this. There's a certain over-sharpness, I'd say,
and a sort of one- one dimensionality to the onion.
That's just on the nafniff, nafniff nose.
Well, now it's time to put it in your fucking ting-tong, ting-tong-tong.
Fucking eat-ot, eat-ot, eat it.
Okay, I'm going to be going a lot on texture here.
You'll be going a lot on texture here.
I will be going a lot on texture here.
Because that's the thing about Monster Munch, isn't it?
Why are you shitting sentences this week? Oh, he he's taken a bite and the mastication begins in goes the rest of this thing
and that's the crave thing you think that's a crave thing absolutely why do you think that's
a crave thing doesn't taste like pickled onion monster munch oh it tastes like apple juicy it's
got that whole pretending that i i fucking missed the way i missed the way on this shit man it just immediately
like a thin slice okay now i may change my mind of course that's your part of me as i bit in it
just said no you know what i mean the thin slice that i'd accessed yeah no this is not right
like that so give me the next one it's like that book isn't it what was that book it was
malcolm gladwell wrote a book about book about like the first impressions of something?
It's known as thin slicing.
It's experts can sniff out fakes and stuff.
Or just know when they can't put their finger on it.
They just, ah.
And it's called thin because it's just,
you only need a second.
And for me, as I bit in fully to that.
Your thin slice said what?
This isn't pickled onion monster munch.
Can you put out your other hand this time as it's
easier for me to hand you that from that
point of view. I'm putting out my other hand. Here's the next one
Gildner. Gives it a snuff and a huff.
Oh, now. Now I wouldn't say
that smells like it either. Oh dear.
I thought I was going to have this problem. It's all up in the air.
This is much more Worcester saucy. Is it?
No, it's much more. Is it?
Worcester saucy? Yeah, it's got a Worcester sauce.
Oh, quick question. The texture of that thing, what was it more. Is it? Worcester sauce-y? Yeah, it's got a Worcester sauce. Oh, quick question.
The texture of that thing, what was it like?
Was it familiar to you?
No, that was very much part of the reason why I rejected it
because it felt it kind of didn't have enough crunch.
It didn't materialise too quickly.
Yeah, I get it.
It degenerated, you know?
So it turned to nothing.
And then there was this wrong note sort of apple flavour after that
rather than the tartness of the proper sort of onion-y.
Yeah.
It's an apple-y onion, sort of almost sweet,
but not in a nice way on that last one.
Yeah, but like not...
Like a cider vinegar tang.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, he's going into the bite of the second crisp.
But the nose on this is very...
It's duller.
Duller.
It is a lot less...
And I'm thinking this is the real one,
because there's a lot less tartness on the nose and much more one because it there's a lot less um tartness on the nose and much more like i say a sort of general
brown saucy almost nice stuff isn't it and but also i can feel the the actual sort of size of
the claws on this yeah he's gone in masticating all the way chompy chompy chomp chomp yeah there
it is yeah yeah and so you're powered they are which is goes back to my point my theory
about them yeah they're just not as tight as they used to be no definitely the the crunch was right
exactly and the way it turned into the warmth god i hope i'm not wrong because i really i do not
believe that first one was a monster so can you now please for the record please now state what
you thought crisp one was blindfold off yes you can can you tell me what you thought crisp one was. Can I take my blindfold off? Yes, you can. Can you tell me what you think crisp one was and then
crisp two? Crisp Ron. Crisp
Chris. Chris who? Ron.
Chris Ron. No, not Chris Ron.
Hello, I am Chris Ron.
You dirty arsehole.
Oh no, why did he say that as well?
Because he learned it from the other guy.
He's doing it now as well, aren't you?
Oh, you dirty arsehole. Shut up,
guys.
Crisp one is
the Crave
and crisp two is
the pickled onion
flavoured Monster Munch.
Do you know why?
Because I'm also...
You just told me
for the past five minutes
why in good detail.
Also because
in Sarah's letter
she said that, you know,
it's one of the things
that still hurts her
about being a vegan.
Influence of it.
Is that okay?
The implication from her letter was that Crave isn't good enough,
and it is not.
Well, Eli.
It is not.
I'd like your opinion on this, Paul.
Eli, I would.
This would be one of the biggest surprises of my super-tasting career
right now if you tell me I'm wrong, man.
Don't tell me.
Don't hurt me.
Well, unfortunately, Eli, I've got to sadly admit that you are correct.
Yeah, of course I am.
Yeah, you are correct.
Now, I'm going to.
Taste them yourself. I i'm gonna try a
crave and i'll give you my shameful that they pick themselves up so much on the packet finish
masticating there you don't mind it i will say this i agree with you on all your points however
if i chose to be vegan and i simply had to these aren't bad but you're right there's too sharp a
vinegary it's like maybe the flavor is
just wrong i don't mind the sharp but here's the thing maybe it's more accurate to pickled onion
when you think about it yeah possibly fair when i think of pickled onions in a jar that you pluck
out and you put in your mouth i do remember it's overly like sour yes i know but that's what the
the walker's pickled onion flavor crisps have that this is goes back to my theory i'm gonna have
these don't these don't have any of that.
It's less tart, isn't it?
But it's the texture.
It's the way that the corn breaks down into that,
and then it turns into that warm mulch, you know?
That's totally missing from the crave, isn't it?
And that must have something to do with the way,
must affect the way it breaks down into proteins.
I would also agree that that doesn't seem to be what I remember
pickled onion monster ones tasting like. I remember it agree that that doesn't seem to be what I remember pickled onion monster
munch tasting like.
I remember it being almost a halfway house between what I expect and what the crave go
for.
Okay.
Okay.
But.
So in many respects, if you want a more pickly crisp, the crave fits the job.
It's just, it's a tasting.
At the end of the day, it's subjective.
Someone might really like that.
The texture just isn't there.
And it doesn't do that thing.
The texture lets it down.
It doesn't do that thing.
No, the texture lets it down.
But. I have a strong suspicion. I'll give it a pass. Really? Honestly. But it doesn't do that thing. The texture lets it down. It doesn't do that thing. No, the texture lets it down. But as a substitute, I'll give it a pass.
Really?
Honestly?
It's not going to be cheaper.
No.
But again, being vegan is a financial choice in many respects, isn't it?
Okay, but we're not talking about being vegan on this show.
Because you could argue being vegan is a bit of a middle-class privilege
because you can't afford to go to Whole Foods
where lots of families can only afford Iceland or the corner shop.
Absolutely, yes. But also, I want to be... only afford Iceland, or the corner shop. Absolutely, yes.
You know.
But also, I want to be-
Having a Tesco club card or whatever.
I'm trying to be balanced about this.
You don't.
There are lots of vegan products that come out with the big-
I don't think it's a bad thing that people are choosing to be vegan.
It is.
That's what you said to me.
I didn't say that.
And then you brought up Ash for some reason.
It got really, really mean to him.
I think there are products that are definitely-
And like, it's a lot of these vegan burgers actually have more fat and aren't as, you know- I don't know. I don't have really mean to him. I think there are products that are definitely, and a lot of these vegan burgers actually have more fat
and aren't as, you know.
I don't know.
I don't have the stats for that.
I can't back that up or confirm it.
A lot of, I think there's been a bandwagon, obviously.
I'd be very careful what you say.
There's a lot about, I'm just saying,
they don't deliver the texture.
I'll fucking give you fucking delivering texture, Eli.
Paul, one semi-serious question. Yes. Semi fucking give you fucking delivering texture Eli Paul one semi-serious question
yes
semi-serious
I'll give you a semi
oh dear
some weeks I have fun
go on
do you think
if you'd been
we'd done a reverse brand off
that you would have been able to
perfect
you would have been able to tell you would have been able to tell.
I'm a reverse brand.
I'll give you a fucking reverse brand off.
Great.
Great.
Great.
Great stuff.
Can you just answer that fucking question,
please?
What did you say?
If you,
if you had a reverse cowboy.
What? If you know that He had a reverse cowboy. What?
If you'd had to do a blind taste test on those, Chris,
do you think you would have been able to get it right?
Yes, I do.
I do.
Okay.
That's it.
Case closed.
I would have come to similar conclusions as you.
Yeah.
Okay, fair enough.
But you thought they were better than me.
I didn't like those at all.
It's just, I think, if you're going vegan,
then it's fine.
Go for it.
I think if that's a choice you want to make
and you can afford to make it,
then they're probably fine for you.
Fair enough.
Sarah, thanks very much for sending that.
Thank you very much.
Right.
Ooh, let's crack on.
Ah, come on.
Get this fucking going.
My taste buds are hungry. What? They're desperate for attention. Come on. All this fucking going. My taste buds are hungry.
All right.
They're desperate for attention.
Come on.
All right, Levi, you ready for your fucking real deal or bad meal?
Right, and it's either Kinder Brenno or some fucking cum spunk one, isn't it?
Now you've got your blindfold on, right?
Is it the spunk one?
I want a spunk.
Now shut up about spunk for a minute, okay?
Oh.
Please, listen. Now, shut up about spunk for a minute, okay? Oh. Oh, please, listen.

You fucking stupid prick.
Right, get that in your gob.
What do you think of that one?
It's all.
It's all.
It's all.
It's all.
Right, so, to my taste buds,
I can feel the amplitude of the familiar...
Fucking hell, shut up, get on with it, mate.
The familiar, lovely, delicate...
Fucking get on with it, familiar lovely delicate fucking get on
with it
mate
I haven't got
fucking all day
for fucking this

I think
that one is the bueno

I wish
I wish
to be able to
change my mind after the second one alright alright mate so you think that one's the... I wish to be able to change my mind
after the second one.
All right.
All right, mate.
So you think that one's
the bueno, do you?
Yeah.

You're not.
No, put your mouth
over towards there.
Right.
Right.
Am I on mic now?
Right.
Right.
Now, you're fucking ready
for your second go.
Yes, I am.
Now, just to be clear,
you think that one
was the real bueno?
Yes. Right. Here's choke number two. Right. What, I am. Just to be clear, you think that one was the real bueno? Yes. Right, here's
bit of, here's chunk number two.
Right, what may I have?
I'm going to give it a half.
Give it a sniffy sniff.
I don't know why I'm talking like that.
Hey, hey.
Right, it's going. What do you think of that?
So far, the nose doesn't reveal anything unusual or untoward.
Popax in your gob.
He's masticating it, ladies and gentlemen.
Oi, eek.
Fucking hell.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah, that's the knockoff.
You've had both.
Now.
That's that raw funk cum one.
What's it called?
Cum cream.
I'm looking at the packet.
It's the cum cream one.
It's not.
Love, shut up.
We're fucking talking about fucking cum
I can taste it because it's got that fake
overly milky chocolate
fake overcompensated
chocolate thing
That's what I think
Number two is the fake and number one is the real
No, I think number one is the real
You don't fucking listen to me
Alright, I'm listening
Number two is the raw cum. Okay.
It's the actual product name, right?
It's Love Raw Cream
Wafer Bar Milk Choc
Cum Raw. Cum fucking hard.
In your face hard.
In the kinky.
Right, you can take your blindfold off now.
Right, for fuck's sake.
Oh, it's so bright.
I can't see, it's so bright. Oh, God. Right there, Christ's sake. Right. Oh, so bright. Oh, I can't see, so bright.
Oh.
Oh, God.
Right there, you're right.
Right.
Okay.
Was I right or was I right or was I right?
Now, I'm happy to say...
Oh.
...that you were totally wrong.
Was I?
Yeah.
What?
So the first one was what?
The first one was the Luvrong cream
choccy board.
There was the knock-off bit.
Oh, that was better.
It was better.
Oh, I liked it more.
You can have a little
taste of this.
Yeah, have a little bit.
I'd like...
Oh, I've...
Mate!
Mate, what's this mean?
What do you think about that, then?
It's nice, that raw one, isn't it?
Ah, yeah, and have the kinder bueno.
It tastes so fake.
What does this mean?
It tastes fucking flat.
The real one tastes fucking...
Off?
No, it's just flat.
It's cardboardy.
Yeah?
Ick, I fucking hate you.
Right, I like the other one.
I like it better, too. But I bet it's a little bit costly, and I bet it's not really cheap, is it? I bet I like the other one. I like it better too.
But I bet it's a little bit costly and I bet it's not really cheap, is it?
I bet it's a bit costly.
Who fucking knows?
Are you done now?
Wait, I've got to do...
Spring, spring, spring.
Spring, spring, spring.
All right, fucking shut up, man.
Prong.
Prong.
I'm pressing the fucking button.
Prong, pring, prong.
Pring, prong, pring, prong. Prong. I'm pressing the fucking button. Prong, ping, prong. Ping, prong, ping, prong.
I can't believe it.
I can't believe my ears.
That's un...
I can't believe it.
I'm pissed with anger.
I've boiled my bollocks are boiling off.
What are we going to do? This is
outright theft. They are stealing
and I have an interest in
how we're ever going to, if they
steal our cheap show's formula,
how am I ever going to
make any money and get us off this
roundabout into a big luxury
roundabout? All I know is that we're
in big trouble. Cheap show, we're losing
faith, we're losing everything.
And look at those guys.
Top of the pops.
Top of the pops they are right now.
King of the castle and we're the dirty rascals.
Well, they're number two.
It's still much better than fucking we are.
Look at where we are in the fucking aroundy-bowdy.
All right, don't have to swear, Ross.
I don't like it.
Sorry, but look.
Look where we are.
You used to be the king of an empire.
Look at us now.
Yes. Could we be any more bottom than this? Well, I tell you what. You used to be the king of an empire. Look at us now.
Could we be any more bottom than this?
Well, I tell you what, we have to give in. Because I'm a power bottom.
We have to stop this.
I'm a power bottom and I will drive my way
and I'll grind and grind to get what I gotta do.
Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy B.
That's what I gotta do.
Jimmy, Jimmy B, Jimmy B.
Yeah, Ricky, Dicky, Dicky.
Jimmy?
Yeah, my boy.
Now, calm down, Jimmy.
Now, I've heard it said they taught me first time I arrived at big boy business school,
back in the 80s.
Rough, rough.
They said, little, little, little Brando.
You know what they said to me, Jimmy?
Go on.
They said, this is the first lesson, little boy, before you get your first spanking.
Oh, my God.
And the spanking room smelt of urine.
What? Where's this going?
I'm like, yes, the first thing they said to me before they spanked me.
What did they say to you?
They said revenge is a dish.
Ruff, ruff. Best served cold.
So let's calm down.
We'll have sausage night.
Sausage night is still on.
They like sausage night. I'm very angry is still on. They like sausage night.
I'm very angry about this, but revenge is it?
Revenge is it this?
Do we tell Paul and Eli what's going on?
No, I've got a plan, okay?
Okay.
We'll get revenge.
Don't you worry about that, Jimmy B.
Oh, yeah.
No, I like it when you're like this, yes.
How will we do this?
Well, I'll make some calls, but first you need to get out the special secret phone.
Okay, I'll get out for you now.
Where did that come from?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's right up there.
It's up here.
It's right up there.
It's right up there.
Oh, it's right up there.
It's all the way up by your rough...
Oh, it's come out his mouth.
Oh, I got the phone.
Give it a wipe down, there's a good point.
OK, and then I guess you'll get a one
and we can make special plans for revenge.
Yes, over sausages.
Is it appropriate to give an evil cackle?
Go ahead.
Ruff.
And that's it for Cheap Show this week. We're back next week for more economy comedy larks.
Larks and lols and lamows.
Have you heard people saying lamow now?
No.
You know what it means, don't you?
Because you just made it up.
No.
People say lamow.
Meaning?
Lamow, maow, maow, maow, maow, maow, maow, maow.
Don't do that
Everybody's heard
About the word
Paul
No one has heard about
The bird
Is what they've heard about
Well that's what I've said
Everybody's heard
About the bird
No you didn't say that
LeMau
LeMau
Laugh my ass off
Oh LeMau
You know it's spelled
L-M-A-O
No I don't know
Anything that you're talking
This is all just
Shitting normal bollocks Shitting normal boll No, I don't know anything what you're talking about. This is all just shitting normal bollocks.
Shitting normal bollocks.
Yeah, I don't care.
Shut up, Mr. Silverman.
I just want to wrap this up.
I bring sauce.
I bring other ring-fenced,
segregated,
penned-in,
subject-cluster bubbles.
I am the podcast that you love at night.
He's doing a song.
I am the podcast that you dearly love tight. Have you given the podcast... He's doing a song.
Have you given the podcast?
Have you given them the website?
Look, everyone, the basic facts are these. For all our social media, for webpages dedicated to each and every episode with videos and pictures,
for links to live tickets, for example, for our show in November,
for links to our videos on YouTube.
It's all on our website, thecheapshow.co.uk.
Go there, and from there, you can go in any direction you want
to join us on the socials.
Question for you, Paul.
Yes.
What if someone's out there, and they're thinking,
oh, I really like this podcast, but I want other stuff, maybe some videos,
extra stuff that goes on,
as well as kind of supporting them
because I believe in what they do.
What could they do for that?
I don't know.
All right, fuck it then.
So, yeah, like this,
patreon.com forward slash cheap share, everybody.
Give what you can, but only if you can
and you'll have access to now years worth
of extra videos and events, magazines and podcasts and behind the scenes things
and all sorts of lovely jubbly stuff.
Lovely stuff, jubbly stuff.
Loving and a jubbling, that jubbly stuff.
That's it enough.
I will give you, if you don't shut up, I won't give you a little treat.
Oh, what?
Which is to explain to the listener from last week what vernacular brutalism is.
I'm giving you this moment now.
Do not waste it, but you do have only 30 seconds
to get this information across.
Begin.
Vernacular is basically the mainstream or everyday.
So, brutalism as a style emerged across
lots of different scales and budgets of buildings.
So you have something like the National Theatre,
which is a huge, prestigious architectural project.
I wouldn't call that vernacular because it's not everyday.
Vernacular brutalism is these schools or car parks
or even homes, estates, whatever,
that was built in the brutalist style,
but is very sort of just not major,
just sort of ordinary, everyday architecture.
That's basically it, Paul.
I'll give you fucking brutal architecture.
Vernacular brutalism. I fucked it now. You made basically it, Paul. I'll give you fucking brutal architecture. Vernacular brutalism.
I fucked it now.
You made me fuck it now.
Well, you could have remembered what it was.
I'll give you vernacular brutalism.
Oh, I'll give you it.
Oof.
Oof, Mr. Silverman.
Goodbye, everyone.
Goodbye until next week.
Thanks, everyone.
Bye. you
