CheapShow - Ep 398: Don't Get Got (Stereo Edition)

Episode Date: August 23, 2024

It’s a big old busy week at CheapShow HQ, as Paul and Eli are going to be spending most this week FILMING episode 400. However, this means that Paul doesn’t fancy doing a full proper editing job o...n the podcast, so demands a “real time” one hour episode. Uncut. Almost Uncut. Despite the tight time limit, the cheap chaps actually cram quite a lot into the episode. They’ll gobble down liquorice chocolate, slurp some odd Irn Bru soda, snack on some truffle chips and attempt to swallow a sour “Warhead’s flavoured” pickle. And that’s just the tip of the overstuffed iceberg. To make things even more “interesting”, Paul and Eli are playing a secret game in the background, but it’s threatening to detail the podcast before the show even gets started. Who will “Get Got”? Find out in this week’s breakneck episode! This is the STEREO (sit in amongst the madness) VERSION (Mono Version is also available) See pics/videos for this episode on our website: https://www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-398-don-t-get-got 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/X @thecheapshowpod or @paulgannonshow & @elisnoid www.thecheapshow.co.uk Now on Threads: @cheapshowpod Like, Review, Share, Comment...

Starting point is 00:00:00 Sorry, I breathed in too deep. I breathed in too wrong deep. Right, what are you doing? Don't put the light on. Hello, welcome to Cheap Show. This is one of our patented real-time episodes. Not this bit. This is the cold open, but after the credit. What? When are you starting the clock? Start the clock. After the clock. Who are? I lost my bra. I left my knickers in my boyfriend's car. Who are? I lost my bra. I lost my knickers in my boyfriend's car. Oh, I lost my bra, I lost my knickers in my boyfriend's car. You got got. No, we can't because we haven't started the game yet. No, we haven't started the game yet.
Starting point is 00:00:32 You will not dictate that to me. Mate, wait. You got got. Mate. You got got. Wait, we haven't even explained what you got got is yet. It doesn't matter. You got got and I'm going to nail you.
Starting point is 00:00:43 Wait, okay, I'm not going to let you. That's fine Mate look that's look at the card pool. Look at the card Okay, I'm got big glasses on you turn the light off and I've got the glasses on. What does it say? Start to sing hum or whistle a song in front of a player. That's you. I'm the singer If that player sings hums or whistles it later on, you've got them. You've started to join in. Nailed it! Right, okay, can we... I'm going to put it back in my wallet. Hang on. Listen, there's a reason why Eli just shat his load, just yet, and it's because we're doing a game. This is a real-time episode, right, and after the credits end, it begins. This is the preamble to explain, and we now have to
Starting point is 00:01:23 explain what Eli just did. So we're playing a game during this episode called Don't Get Got, right? It's a kind of party game where we get five directions or what do you want to call them? Objectives. There's six objective cards but one of them is shared. The guess what card. Yeah. So if either of us get to say, the other one to say, for instance, let's do it. Eli, guess what? What? Uh-oh, I made him say what.
Starting point is 00:01:50 So then he asked. And then I said, that's not real. That's not real. That's just a little bit of fun. So we share that one. But then we have five other things, objectives, that we try to get the other player to do. Without the other knowing that they're
Starting point is 00:02:01 doing the objective that the other player wants them to do. So, which is why Eli Justen got his card out because he did one of the things that the card said he wanted me to do. He got me got. I got got. You got got. Paul, what else is coming up on the show? I don't know. I don't know. We got nothing. We got this game. We got got got and that's all we got. Yeah. Well we got this game. We ain't got nothing apart from got got we got got. We're doing it in my hand Mike. We ain't got got. We only got got got. Look I have got a bag of goodies. I've got a bag of goodies. It's like a Gannon's Golden game actually isn't it? It is. I got got is a Gannon's Golden game. I got got is a Gannon's Golden game. It's a Paul's Pleasant Pastimes as well.
Starting point is 00:02:46 I've got God is a Gallagher's Golden Game. This bit's too loud. The levels are too loud. I might have to scrap this and start again, which means you can't get that point. That's not happening. Anyway, look, the reason why we're doing a real time episode this week is because this week Eli and I
Starting point is 00:03:02 spend a few days in our secret Harrowed studio filming episode 400 because this week Eli and I spent a few days in our secret Harrow studio filming episode 400 which is out on the 6th of September we are doing a video episode for 400 but as a result it means I'm gonna be doing a lot of that and I don't want to do a lot of editing so this is the real-time episode so I don't have to do too much editing. Start the clock! No we don't start the clock we start the credits. Start the clock! You can say start the clock when we get back from the credit music and the credit music is happening right now. It's the voice of shame.
Starting point is 00:03:50 Welcome to Cheap Show. Start the clock. Clock has been started and remember during this episode in the background we will be playing Don't Get Got because that's part of the game in it. Right so what we're going to do in this week's episode I'm going to look at my cards again. I'm just looking at my cards again this is a real time episode already. Okay right I've got a bag full of odds and ends. Put the light on. Why is the light not on? Because I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:04:26 I'm going to open the wind. He's going to open the blinds then. A little bit of sauce here. Oh, there's a sauce there. Dunny River hot sauce or something. Duns River. Duns River. It's better to get that or grace rather than tropical sun.
Starting point is 00:04:42 Because apparently tropical sun is a big corporate behemoth that is fucking lots of people over in that part of the world. You're gonna do all three of these blinds then? I just wanna know how much light's coming in. Did that sound like a challenge? No, I'm putting the light on. No! It's gonna be too dark in here.
Starting point is 00:05:00 It won't, I'm gonna do all three of the blinds, yes! Hurry up, it's too dark, I can't see shit. Turn that shit right off. Get some natural light in here, get some air in. You're a denizen of dank interior spaces, the blue light of screens flickering on your pallid brow. Open the fucking blinds mate, Jesus wept. So, it was quite good for you. Oh, oh, oh, I've got no energy. We've both got no energy and I'm not looking forward to the filming of 400 this week. Because my co-host... No, because it's stressful.
Starting point is 00:05:36 Because I've been doing all the work, haven't I? Have you had to organise a little film crew? Have you had to sort the cameras out, lighting and props and all that shit? I'm going to bring some props tomorrow tomorrow so I'll have to do that. Good. I'm doing the snacks. Huh? Oh yeah Eli's in charge of fucking catering is what you're telling me.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Every shoot needs catering. It's very important. Every shoot needs catering. Is that a challenge you're trying to get me to sing something? No. Alright. I just wanted to sing Every Loser Wins. Oh there's a big penis hanging out that big window.
Starting point is 00:06:07 A big elephant's penis. I think that's an what? An exhaust on a... Air-conditioning unit. It's an air-conditioning unit. Free standing air-conditioning. Hey mate. Bosh, bosh, bosh.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Get me card out. Get the player to do the same thing three times. No I didn't. One blind, two blind, three blinds. I knew that was a challenge! That's nailed it. I said it! You didn't. Oh no, I'm not having it. I'm not three blinds. Nailed it. You didn't. You didn't. Nailed it. Nailed it. Nailed it mate. How about that? How about that mate? How about that? Now we're
Starting point is 00:06:38 one all aren't we Mr Governor? Now we're one all. All the cards and me little wallet. We've got we keep our little quest cards in our little wallet plazzy wallet Don't we? Require you to put the card in some object and then get the other person to sort of uncover them Yeah, but the point I'm trying to make is like they're in plastic wallets. So only we can see them Not we can't see each other's questions. Can we? Objectively. That would be completely pointless then, wouldn't it, Paul? It wouldn't be a game then. I don't know what you're trying to say. What point are you trying to make? Very little meaning in content. Can I be honest? The problem is I'm playing, I'm trying to play this game so hard I can't focus on the actual podcast part of this show.
Starting point is 00:07:17 You can't! I know! So stop! Stop trying to get me to do stuff, all right? All right. Well, all right so it's the first item what have we got in here oh okay so I've got a lot of PO boxes at the moment trying to go through them and sometimes notes get lost and stuff like that but someone said two records and now I've got doubles of this one I thought would you like it which one do you think is the one I got doubles of the mr. men yeah are you trying to get me to do something? No. No. I'm just saying. Well, there was a triple thing with Fucking Blind wasn't there? Yeah, but I got that done.
Starting point is 00:07:52 There was two albums sent to us. One is the Party Time with the Mr. Men 12 inch album and then Rowan Atkinson Live in Belfast. So he didn't do stand up as such. It was sort of character sketch, one-man character sketch. Yeah that was pretty popular at the time wasn't it? I mean it's famous for you know that the headmaster sketch where he just sits there and literally the whole sketch is him reading names out. It's like Jenkins, it's that but he's a great performer. That's an interesting photograph on the back cover from
Starting point is 00:08:25 the back of the stage and you can see that he's got these little spaces on stage where he's doing the costume changes and stuff. Almost like hospital blinds between beds almost like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is this recording right? Oh these are for me then are they? Yeah if you want them because I've got also Party Time with the Mr Men which, give it here, I haven't finished with it yet, is basically a stage play. So there was a touring stage play for a while where Mr Men would turn up at a school and then they would do a little mini musical and sometimes the kids can get involved so there's tracks like Here Come the Mr Men, Dr Trotters Travelling Zoo, hey mate there's a track here, Muck Spreadin'. What do you
Starting point is 00:09:06 think the track Muck Spreading is all about? What do you think? Yeah it may be Tractors. There's Mr. Bump's Bump. There's Mr. Chatterbox's song. Brains, Little Miss Splendid. I wonder what's going on there. And the Mr. Men hoedown and many many more tracks. It's quite nice this as it goes What's that Ben Elton? He's got something else out Yeah, some I think he's doing a stand-up tour or something. I saw on the side of a bus. Yeah That's good. Well, what culture worry to say to speak? No, he's easy easy easy Well, culture worry, to say the speak. No, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's...
Starting point is 00:09:45 I'm cramping. Can you help me? No, because that sounds like a challenge to me. Fuck you! Turn it, turn it to failed. Turn it over to failed, mate. I'm never gonna get that, because you never help. And I never ask you, because I know you're a mean man. Also because, mate, the way you did it, they were so fucking laboured.
Starting point is 00:10:02 You went from being perfectly alright to suddenly going, Oh my back! Oh my back! I had a cramp, alright? Fuck you man. Hate this game. I hate it. It's giving me the DBGBs mate.
Starting point is 00:10:16 Anyway, the game is still afoot. Eh, how about that? The game is still afoot. Read the card out. It says, sit on the floor for a while then get a play to help you up yeah you see that's a tough one yeah yeah anyway do you want to see what else is in my bag and do you want to see what else is in my bag do you though do this whole show this game fuck this. We can't do content when we're both
Starting point is 00:10:46 weary of each other. You've got got. Yeah, you've got got. Hey, I've got got, baby. Anyway, the Party Time with Mr. Men album. I forgot who sent it, but thank you very much. It is a fun album, this. It's got that, you remember that Sesame Street Live album we've got from the very early days. It's kind of similar to that, but Mr. Men. It's a stage show.
Starting point is 00:11:04 It's got nothing to do with the Arthur Lowe voiced thing but yeah. Yeah. Ah. Little songs and stuff. Yeah and it's a lovely thing. I think it's quite a nice album if you're into that kind of childhood nostalgia. Yeah but yeah. Not going to be as good as my Rainbow album. You're looking at my cards. I'm just checking up on my cards aren't I see what I've got
Starting point is 00:11:29 Anyway bollocks. Don't worry about it right next go Do you want to try these L origins? organic plantain chips truffle flavor They are organic plantain chips truffle flavor plantain chips Truffle flavor Three times organic plantain chips truffle flavor i got you i fucking got you you said truffle flavors three times you bastard bastard i've got you you bastard i've got you nailed it you jumped on my coat oh god i'm shouting like a crazed loon in here don't oh did i jump on your jumpy i jumped on yours i'm, is your car okay?
Starting point is 00:12:06 It's fine. I'm okay. We don't trust each other now for the rest of this episode. I've realised it. This is going to turn into the fucking... the thing! We should do a blood test to see which one of them mutates. No, let's crack on. Oh! Talking Mr Men.
Starting point is 00:12:22 Oh, you've got Mr Noseybook. I love these early early ones where they were so rough and ready with the you can see the folks here you can see where they've painted him in yeah that gives it a certain rustic sort you know I mean yeah nice and they totally don't do that anymore do they that's just like a it's computerized or whatever isn't it anyway do you want to eat these crisps look at that mr. nose look at him yeah yeah it's his nose, because he was a nosey man. It's Mr. Nosey this one, by the way, everybody.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Do I want to eat some crisps? Oh yeah! Organic plantain chips. Hang on, let me just fix this. Hang on, bear with me. Right, here we go. Shake me, it says. Shake it then? Truffle flavour. Now, do you like the flavour of truffles, Paul? You know what?
Starting point is 00:13:04 I can't think of what that flavor profile would be. There's those El Torres crisps that are now everywhere across London and they're the ones that did like a cheese flavor crisp and they did a fried egg flavor they're Spanish they're like high end they like oh they go for as much as a fiver they do a truffle one. I've not had it. It's like they do an olive oil one, which is just a great sort of high, like a kettle, but it's better. Kettle chips have totally fallen off,
Starting point is 00:13:32 don't you think, in recent years? I preferred the Sainsbury's in our taste test, didn't I? I remember them and they're very nice, but is it just the brand kettle chip or the overall style, the hand-cooked style, as they say? Style is still valid. I just think kettle chips as a brand, qualities gone right down yeah do you think so I think so anyway open the you like to do kettle chips
Starting point is 00:13:51 suck them you suck off the balsamic day it's not a suck it's more of a messel within the mouth a weird cradling of flavor upon the tongue anyway end of the point I promise you but those El Torre's crisps do a truffle flavor which is absolute mouth crack of like they're big packs I'm like I'm gonna fucking finish this whole like the fucking cookie monster I am with those. Right can we now eat these ones then? These are the plantain chips. Organic plantain chips, truffle flavour. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:31 It's a mushroom and it's got, it's like almost garlicky flavour. I don't, to my brain, imagine what a truffle would be flavour-wise. It's not for me to say. I'm not getting a lot there. It just smells like a dried banana to me like plantain does oh yeah it does it smells just dry no don't I can't smell no flavor or nothing try this I'm just gonna have one
Starting point is 00:14:59 that I'm just one oh this one's all split like a banana. Oh, oh, it's a bit farty. Yeah, that's that sort of term. Umami. Yeah. Kind of meaty umami. Meaty mushroom. It's very salty as well. Quite salty. But that's the umami flavour is accentuating the salt. You see what I mean? Oh, they're really good. I don't like them. Oh, I like them a lot. They're a required taste, I think.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Oh, those are lovely. Ow! Is that a challenge? No. That challenge, he's itching himself. I think something bit me, is what it is. Oh, alright, what do you want me to do? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:15:44 I'm just saying. Nothing? Nothing. I've just literally been bitten or something and it's just like fuck right now right fine I need to find oh oh Eli what was that what did you say something just fell on the floor mate did you spot that did you oh let me get my card out. I nailed it. Get a player, tell a player to tell you that you've dropped something. Oh, nailed it. Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. I'm two down.
Starting point is 00:16:14 I'm two down. Just as they got you to do it, didn't I Mr Silverman? I did say something, I mean... Ding ding ding, nailed it, going in. So that's two. If I was an awful, in so that's two I'd say you didn't actually get me to do exactly that but in the in the spirit of fairness and good game good game so you've got three of you no two we're on two weeks oh so we got one each you're what oh yeah you fail once that means
Starting point is 00:16:41 you've got to get your next one right right? No, you're trying to do then well Come play with me ever dance with the devil in the play on moonlight No, wait there is food this one doesn't count this is um, what's I don't know what that is It's a noodle of some sort. I'm a It's a big bon Tian Shan Pamela it looks like a beef flavor beef and chili flavored noodle It's a Big Bon Tian Shan Pame. It looks like a beef and chilli flavoured noodle. Do you want it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:11 There you go, that's that next item done. Wait, how many have I got now? So I've got two more to do. Okay, fine. Right, what else? Oh, there's another one. I think this is the same company but egg. Oh, perhaps that's the Big Bon Tian Shan Pame.
Starting point is 00:17:24 This is an egg and shiitake flavour it looks like. Shitty arse-y flavour? No. No. Has it not been recording? No, there's a bigger problem. Oh, don't start, you're trying to challenge me, I can tell. No. What's the bigger problem then, Paul? I thought we'd done half an hour and um it's been 13 minutes yeah I don't know what to do because we're also halfway through the game well we'd have to stop playing the game if one of us wins it I guess so yeah oh right anyway there is some fun stuff in here I got oh I can't remember who them. I think, you know that big huge box that I got that had like tons of stuff in and a price of shite and all that kind of... I think it's part of the same box. That is really lovely.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Yeah, you like them? Honestly, those... Plantain chips, I can give or take on them, but those are the best. The best combination. Yeah. It's really nice. Well done. Have another one. I don't want them. They're too... You know what? I think they're too salty for me. but those are the best, the best combination. Yeah. It was really nice. Well done.
Starting point is 00:18:25 Have another one. I don't want them, the two, you know what, I think it's just, they're too salty for me. And also I don't like that farty mushroom thing. Well, that's the truffle, yeah. If you don't like that, you don't like that. I don't, that's why I don't like them. You don't like it.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Well, I'm glad you do. It's a one and a half out of five for me. Okay. Oh, at least a 4.5 for me. There you go. Vastly different scores there, but that, them's the breaks. Next. I'm doing nothing. Other than owning you. Oh no, I, oh no, I did. Ha ha ha. No, you've just fallen for it. Read that out. Read that out. I have not! Read that out. What does it say? Put the card in the pocket with half of it sticking out.
Starting point is 00:19:13 Get a player to comment on it. What did you do? Fuck you, I hate this game. Ganon won this game. You know what this means though? What? We can at least stop playing the game and begin to trust each other and begin to do the podcast. Why?
Starting point is 00:19:29 Yeah, because I got three out of five unless you want to go, unless you want to see if I can get another one. No, fuck you. No? What others did you have? I'll tell you the other two I had. Fall over and get a player to help you up. You would never have done that. No, I don't think I could have pulled that off. You were good with the little manipulations.
Starting point is 00:19:43 Yeah, and then the other one was get a player to draw something on your skin. Maybe I could have gotten you have done that. No, I don't think I could have pulled that off. You were good with the little manipulations. Yeah, and then the other one was, get a player to draw something on your skin. Maybe I could have gotten you to do that. No, you could have done that. Can you pass me those, please? Ah, you bitch! I fucked you! Ha ha ha!
Starting point is 00:19:56 Yeah! Hide this card. Consolation! Hide this card underneath some food. Get a player to take the food and reveal the card. All right, but you know I've won already. Yeah, but still, got a little consolation there. I actually knew you were going to do that because I saw you put it under there earlier,
Starting point is 00:20:10 but I thought I'll give you a little last little moment of joy. You know what I mean? Ended on a high with that. Do you know what though? I actually really like this game. Yeah, no, it's fun. It is fun, but it's kind of anxiety causing, you know? A little bit. It's when you have to convince someone of something. It's like going on stage or causing, you know? A little bit. It's when you have to convince someone of something. That's like, it's like going on stage or something, you know? But it's the machinations of getting it all to work.
Starting point is 00:20:32 I didn't think that one in my pocket would work because that's why I was trying to do the mosquito bite to draw your attention to that pocket. I'm so stupid, I just sort of said, you know what I mean? Like, yeah. It's because you're a very transparent and honest person. Isn't that what it is, Mr. Silverman? I am quite straightforward in certain circumstances
Starting point is 00:20:46 Yes, some would say boring. It's a characteristic right let at least we can go for the rest of this podcast now Just my others were then yeah, neither of us said the guess what one no I thought that would have been a bit shit convince a player see I would have liked to tried this Convince a player that something is voice activated when it isn't and get them to try it out. Oh, that could have been fun. I don't know. It could have been fun. If you say something, there's nothing
Starting point is 00:21:10 I really could have done though. You could have gotten one of your clocks from your bedroom and said, I bought this in a charity shop and blah. But you see, it's the machinations. How'd you get to that position? I think it's a fun game to play in the background if you're doing something different, such as make a podcast in real time, Eli.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Yeah, yeah. Point is, this game proves that I am the master manipulator. Yes, Paul. A devious cretin. You actually get a kick out of it as well. I really do, mate. You have no idea. At least you got crisps. I've got these, they're good. Yeah, and you've got those two thingies. I bet they're out of date. Maybe. Check of the date.
Starting point is 00:21:51 There you are. 84-02-14-12-20-20, oh, 2022. Yeah. Without date, man. We haven't had them in storage that long. I've had them like a month or so. They're sort of edible, but it's not really worth it, you know. I learned the hard way making this podcast over the years.
Starting point is 00:22:08 For years, up there on top of that record thing, there was just this bag of noodles, you know? I still got noodles. You know, the live show had to distribute them. Actually, I'll have those to throw out at the live show, and then I have to warn people that they're out of date. Well, there you go. You could win those rejected noodles.
Starting point is 00:22:27 So there's that right next. Oh man there's so many noodle places now. All right no thanks for that. Right what's in the bag? I've brought a bag full of goodies for the episode. Right we've got the records that's sorted so every again if you recognise something that we're looking at today and I don't mention your name directly, apologies, but thank you very much for sending it to our PO Box and you can get the information for our PO Box in the metadata for this episode and on our website, main page, scroll down a bit. Right, oh, mate, no.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Okay, you may have lost the game, but I think you'll enjoy what you've won as a consolation prize. Let me read this out. I've got a letter for this. I definitely do. Right. So you remember,
Starting point is 00:23:10 Kirsty Cooper got in touch a little while ago and said, here's a bunch of stuff. By the way, he like- Pin badges, pin badges, pin badges. Calm down. No, it's better than that, mate. So I'll read it out. Cause when I read the letter, you'll go, ooh.
Starting point is 00:23:24 Is it? What? I'll tell you what, you know- Cannabis extract. No, because I wouldn't- That's better. No, because I wouldn't read that out without a fucking podcast. Oh, hello everyone. Thanks to all our fans who send us drugs in the post.
Starting point is 00:23:35 Not that it happens, I'm just joking. Fucking oh shit, backtrack. Right. Bro! Just hold that. Because this is for you. I'm just going to get a glass of water. Oh Christ. Actually, can you get my- going to get a glass of water. Oh Christ.
Starting point is 00:23:45 Actually, can you get my... Oh no, you've got it. Oh, that's the bottle. That was nice of me, wasn't it? And thoughtful of me. Say again so you can get your passive aggressive nature on. That was nice of me, wasn't it? I brought the water in.
Starting point is 00:23:55 No, thank you very much. I didn't notice because I wasn't paying attention. I was too wrapped up and trying to beat you at that game. It really threw me off making this podcast. If you listen back to the first 15 minutes, you'll see I'm aimless because I don't know what's going on. You did well mate. Right here we go. Don't touch it yet. Don't open it yet. Just hold it. I'll read the
Starting point is 00:24:13 letter. I'm holding it in my hand. I'm holding a parcel and it's covered in bubble wrap in my hand and it's oblong. So she sent us stuff a while ago. Here's the follow up letter. Hi Paul and Eli, hope you well. Here is the Tomy R handheld game that I told you I had one on eBay and it hadn't arrived in the post yet. It finally turned up after going all the way back to the seller. I have put a battery in it for you.
Starting point is 00:24:38 It already has the cracks when I bought it. So if there's any cracks in it, that's that. And also, oh, this is great. She put some Garfield tasty cat treats in for my cat Riley. So Riley's enjoyed those already. Yeah, so my cats love them. I hope Riley does too.
Starting point is 00:24:52 And he did, he did enjoy them. So thank you, Kirsty. Yeah. He's got his own special grass. What's going on with that? He ate that, then it went dry and I have to buy more. Isn't it, can't he water it or something? No.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Oh, it's like herbs or something. It goes. You should get him some more of that grass mate. Yeah, he enjoyed eating that grass. Saved him going out the house. So here he is, Eli's... He's like, eat some grass and do some Doritos and like, you know. I got him raw catnip
Starting point is 00:25:16 and just sprinkled it on the floor and he went fucking cockabonkers for it. Yeah, that's basically them just going, I'm coming! I'm in the heat! Look they look at that look at look at that Eli. Now it has got a crack in there you go. And a little bit missing in this but the stickers are lovely and intact and I'm not going to be playing it much anyway. But you know what I just love the aesthetics of that yellow absolutely yellow slab plastic
Starting point is 00:25:41 almost brutalist space futurey kind of thing. A full-size one right there's the same time It's the same one. It's only this one model that they did Oh, that's that big one. Where is that big one that's in storage? I haven't you can get it when we go and film this week Yeah, should we put shall I put this onto the set for for the filming of 400 which we haven't done yet We're doing it tomorrow. We'll start all tomorrow. I'm to bring some of the screwball scrambled stuff and put it in the background as well. Okay, so let's bring this along. That's good visual. Thank you very much Kirstie.
Starting point is 00:26:11 That's yours to keep. Well done. No guesswork on that. Now, oh now there were pins Eli, you're right, so let's try and look for pins for Eli. Is that it? Yeah, you can have all of these pins because the ones that were for me, funnily enough, I already have. Let's see what we've got in here. But I can't remember who sent the pins now. I'm really sorry. Oh, it's got, just turn it to off position. Where are you, where are you meant to?
Starting point is 00:26:35 You see, that little arrow. Is it handheld? So you meant to do it like this? No, you meant to have it flat on a table. Flat on a table and that, and that little pushy, pushy upy things. Like a screw. It's fucking rock hard that one. Yeah. We've infamously called it on digitizer the dark souls of tomey games. Is it really?
Starting point is 00:26:51 Yeah. That's the hardest one. Yeah. That they ever did you think? That wow and yarr are both perfectly playable simply in a kind of kong man way. Yeah. That's actually a fucking pain in the arse. Yeah it's got little turntables and these little you activate the
Starting point is 00:27:05 ball bearings by pushing them up sort of thing. To eat an obstacle on the course which involve magnets and turntables and you've got to wend your way down to the beginning it it's very tricky involves timing and a lot of patience. I like this pin a lot. That was for me but I've got one of those it's a boo ghost from the super mario franchise. It certainly is nice nice size Nice enamel. I've also got a sentient fried chicken leg. Yeah And a yellow piece of macaroni. That's a nice pin. Yeah, so they're for you Eli two lovely three lovely pins chicken all about What no it's like that thing Japanese culture likes where they put cute little faces on everyone, like toilets and poos and rainbows and stones and logs and food. When it is weird is when that, this is a chicken leg, so this is part of an actual real creature
Starting point is 00:27:57 at some point and now it's been turned into food and then that chicken leg, as if that's a little creature, you know? It's very David Cronenberg Ian Kronenberg David no, who's it more like a nightmare. Yeah, you know like a nightmare where everything starts to it's like a Psychedelic bad trip. It's like that bit in young Sherlock Holmes where Watson trips out and all the cakes come to life and stuff I was fo really disturbing scene. I remember that do you remember that? Let's all remember that together. Oh what's the fucking noise? It's just unnecessary bike noise. Thank god, I'm checking the time.
Starting point is 00:28:39 Mate. It's only 25 minutes past. We're going to do it for 35 minutes. I have no idea. You can come in my room, I'll put them on my pin badge board. I'll come in your room. Let's go, wait, we've got other things. Let's do that and end in your room. Because people say we haven't done this, but I thought we had. Tarkeys. Dragon Sweet Chili.
Starting point is 00:29:00 I have definitely tried these, but let's try them again quickly. Why not, right? We've got 35 minutes to kill. Dragon Sweet Chili. Now... I think I tried these, but let's try them again quickly. Why not, right? We've got 35 minutes to kill. Um, dragon sweet chilli. Now, what does that mean, dragon sweet chilli, do you think? What springs to mind for me is that it's dragon fruit flavoured, but dragon fruit, yeah, it's like a tropical fruit of an ilk with sort of a mango, pineapple, that type of thing. That kind of flavour, I think.
Starting point is 00:29:23 But let's see what it says. Uh, it doesn't say anything. mango, pineapple, that type of thing. That kind of flavor, I think. But let's see what it says. It doesn't say anything. Anyway, so there we go. Eli's gonna open the bag now, give us a Huff Report, see what he thinks. Mm, there's a sourness, and the corniness. Oh, there's a sourness and a corniness.
Starting point is 00:29:42 Oh. Oh. Oh, I'm gonna taste one now myself they're nice very nice they're sweet but then there's a proper kick that comes in they're less sour than other types of takis aren't they less of that really sharp but they're still there's some sharpness, but it's really pleasing, the sweetness gives way to the chilli heat, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Awesome. But would you agree there's like a meaty note there? There's almost like a kind of mint meat note. I think you're talking about like an umami mouthfeel, these sort of things. Yeah, there's the wheat, there's the heat come through. It comes through, doesn't it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:22 Oh, they're so moorish. God, they're good. Oh man, they're lovely. Aren they're lovely. They are lovely. A fireside chat on a Christmas Eve. Like I've said before it looks like Tarky's themselves, the actual crisps, always pretty good. I mean in an extreme way. But anything that's flavoured with them I don't like. Apart from that pickle the other day I did like that. I've got mixed feelings on that whole thing to be honest.
Starting point is 00:30:51 Right do you know one more thing on these? He's making one last point beware here we go. This is like a Doritos chili heatwave but done right. Yeah yeah you know what I mean it's got the sweetness but and it hasn't got that artificial chili flavor it's got like a real kick sort of thing and it's got like a natural warmth to it a general Slow warmth that builds up and just resonates at the back of your tongue Is the next thing for you life about the bag? I can't it's a bit like a black bean bag episode actually I guess cool I think this is a deck of cards noodle themed deck of cards. Yeah
Starting point is 00:31:25 I don't know because someone decided to make that I know just to the eye. Why do you think it's noodle? Why are you looking at it and going? Oh, it's noodle themed. Why it's noodle themes I mean you'd have to go back and ask everyone involved with the make No, I'm not on about why you decided to make this noodle themed I want you to explain to the listener why to you this is noodle themed. I think a better way of putting it Paul, no my way is fine. No it would be what makes it noodle themed. And that's the question I'll answer if that's okay with you. What makes it noodle themed is in fact it looks like some noodles.
Starting point is 00:32:01 It looks like it comes in a sort of a red and black noodle instant noodle wrapping. In fact, but it's actually one of those tear ones. So I'm going to have to ruin the packaging. So the packaging is similar to the packaging you'd see for an instant noodle in a Chinese supermarket. But it's got a pack of playing cards in. But the iconography of it is very reminiscent of a banyan three times spicy, whatever it's called.
Starting point is 00:32:24 Is it banyan? Yeah, the Samyang bulldak range, the spicy ramen chicken which is everywhere. There's all different, you can just buy generic spicy chicken ramen sauce now, not even branded with them. You see it's become a whole sort of category. I need an update on what's happening with the Morley's chicken sauce, we need to get some of that shit. Well patience. It took us a while to get the get some of that shit. Alright, well, patience. It took us a while to get the pickle ketchup and that was an anti-climax. It was, but it did make everything taste like a McDonald's.
Starting point is 00:32:51 Yeah, which is nice. So you're going to open this now? But that's the thing about these. It's got one of those tear and resealable tops that noodles don't generally have, but food stuffs do, like bags of peanuts have that. You know when you... Gummies. But I'm going to have to destroy this toy toy I want to keep this packaging it's what
Starting point is 00:33:08 makes the thing you don't know what the cards look like it could be interesting well you see what I mean I don't have to do that much damage I guess there we go it's still there and I'm taking the cards out there's a spicy soup base sticker. Oh two sachet stickers Paul. That's nice. Spicy soup base sachet stickers. That's fun isn't it? That is very fun and I'll be sticking those on something. Oh do you want to keep it complete? Oh. What the hell. It's a decision. He's going to have to make in private. I'm thinking maybe I take one of these box, record seven inch boxes to put on the set. Yeah. With the ones with stickers on. Yeah. You know? Yeah. That's something isn't it okay great
Starting point is 00:33:46 Um have you got something? Oh these that's the thing That's the thing with these while you're opening that I'm gonna look into the bag cuz there's something I want to read out cuz Oh a pardon for me coughing right is this the letter bear with me a real-time Episode means you see the cut and thrust of the stuff behind the scenes. Oh, yeah We go. So except the tackies treacle truffle The tackies and is attached as little gift poor limited edition pin badge from Tom Shepard's Oh, that's the one from ages ago. The oldest trick magic shop in the world in Scotland
Starting point is 00:34:20 Do that little badge I've got with a little rabbit coming out the the hat? Oh wow these have been, I've had that for a while then. I'm surprised those crisps are still in date. They were on holiday in Spain and saw those takis and got them. Anyway thank you Tregal Truffle. I think you can get those here but no. Yeah no at the time. I don't know if we've tried them before, perhaps we tried them as part of a big tasting session and we didn't really linger on it but those are bloody good. Maybe we didn't give them their due diligence. Here we go here's the thing I was going to read out here we go so while you're getting into that. on it but those are bloody good. Maybe we didn't give them their due diligence. Here we go here's the thing I was gonna read out here we go so while you're getting into that. Hello Eli and Paul this is Mika from Finland have you probably
Starting point is 00:34:52 gathered from the envelope oh because the letter was on it. Sorry for the shit handwriting never apologize for that it's fine I only write by hand maybe 14 times a year that's a face oh four times a year that's still very specific knowledge I wanted to send y'all some stickers of my 3d art Filthy to decorate with them like the insides of your bin line feel for not filthy feel three Feel free. Yes kind of hard thing to say isn't it? It also is filthy feel one. Nah feel three feel free Filthy feel three that made me think imagine you had three they should do a remake of a Noah sequel to total recall instead of a lady with
Starting point is 00:35:35 three boobs what if it was a man with three dicks just like on a stool thank you that was good anyway I'm Being a fan of yours since Barshens looking forward to more noodles and sauce reports So thank you very much indeed and wait here's the stickers This one and that oh hang on Wait there don't talk until the microphone's here, here we go. That is like a monster's eye, one of these stickers, and the other is like a horrific ice cream cone, which has eyes in it with the hundreds and thousands sprinkles. Stick it on one of those boxes when you bring it. I'll give you the other stickers and you can stick them on it.
Starting point is 00:36:18 So thank you very much. I only want one in... I'll have them. I'll have them, yeah. Right, now we're back to Eli's cards where we will now Look at the cards of the sashay stickers like jokers. They're not the jokers No, because the jokes are separate, but they're just extra card sort of things nice Pictures of all this stuff will be on our website the cheap shout out code at UK. Should you fancy it? Joker is a Person in sort of those traditional blocky clogs that they wear in Japan.
Starting point is 00:36:48 Yeah. Running along with a fire extinguisher in one hand and a bowl of literally, literally, flaming noodles. That's good. You assume they're noodles. Weird. Weird? So do you see that?
Starting point is 00:37:04 It's got flaming bowl of noodles on that joker. On that joker, you've still got the flaming bowl of noodles, but there's a rolled up four of hearts inside the bowl. Bizarre. That is interesting. Maybe that's to do with a particular game they play. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:17 You know, where the four is wild or... You know what I mean? It's very... That's a very interesting... What are the kings and queens and all that shit? They've gone with the spicy theme more than the sort of noodle theme. There the Jack of Spades is glugging on a bottle of water. The Queen is sort of mopping her brow and she looks crazed. The King of Spades...
Starting point is 00:37:40 He's got a bowl of flaming noodles. Let's see. Oh no, and they're all different, all the picture cards. The Jack of Diamonds has a bowl of noodles in one hand and he's using chopsticks with the other hand and grasped within the chopsticks is a big chili. It's a chili pepper. The Queen, she's just slurping up some noodles.
Starting point is 00:38:07 So this royal family can take their chilies whereas the other one couldn't. Yeah, the king, no the king's looking like he's breathing fire onto a bowl of noodles. And the king of clubs there, what's he doing? He's just got a plate of chilies, full stop. He looks happy. The queen of clubs, she again slurping some noodles in a slightly
Starting point is 00:38:26 different pose. The Jack there, what's he doing? He's got a bottle of sriracha, you can tell from the green cap and he's squirting it onto a flaming bowl of noodles, Paul. It's very exciting stuff, very exciting. We haven't done them all. Haven't we? Thought we had. We have. Fucking hell, good. So there you go, a pack of spicy cards. They are spicy cards, thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:38:52 That will go into my card collection. Would you play it, would you use them as a pack during a game? No, because he has no joy. Right. Right, hang on. What, let me just regard the time, because my start, I forgot to start my start watch. You forgot not a runer, dear. Right, hang on. Let me just regard the time, because I forgot to start my stopwatch. You forgot to start it?
Starting point is 00:39:09 Yeah. But don't worry, because the timer's fine, yeah. What do you mean the timer's fine? On the recording. I know, I'll look at how much we've recorded. How long have we been doing? 36 minutes. We've got 25 more to go, mate.
Starting point is 00:39:22 Do you want to play that game again from the start? No. No? Alright then. Err... Well, we'll have these drinks and then we'll go into your room. I've got drinks, have you? Yeah. I don't know if we've done these before. We need to clear up because... Iron Brew Extra... Wait.
Starting point is 00:39:38 Raspberry Ripple! And... Wild Berry Slush. So we've got a Iron Brew Wild Berry Slush. And we have a Iron Brew Extra Raspberry Ripple. I don't know if we've done the raspberry, if we've done the crush, but I think we did. We haven't done either of those. What was the other one we did though? Because we did two flavoured Iron Brews a few weeks, months ago. They do all sorts of different flavoured, but they were sugar free. Those look to be actual sugar versions.
Starting point is 00:40:02 No, we did like birthday cake, it was something stupid like that. It was a cream soda flavored iron brew, wasn't it? Right, yeah. You remember? They weren't those ones. They were not those ones, I'm sure. That's fine, I just wanted to make sure we weren't repeating ourselves,
Starting point is 00:40:14 because we have burnt through quite a lot of content in 35 minutes, which is a record for us. And we've played the game. It's been quite stellar. Oh, and guess what? What? Aha, got got you the game is still playing the game is still playing and I won that I won that one I'm gonna go for a walk around the cows it's all I can manage I'm walking around a table of
Starting point is 00:40:38 love what you want to do now you Should we just have these drinks? Yeah. Right. Drink your water and I'll pour it in and I'll now take it from the can. What do you want to start with? Raspberry ripple or do you want to have a wild berry slush? These are Iron Brew Extra. Yeah. And I think those sugar free ones,
Starting point is 00:41:00 they were different shaped cans to these, weren't they? They were taller, they were more like a sort of Red Bull can. No, they were same size were they yeah cuz I've got one in the fridge still from last time they were all completely sugar-free zero they were zero and they were terrible weren't they yeah no that does say no sugar yeah extra taste no sugar so it's like saying Pepsi Max extra max it's the same same difference poor did we like the other ones the cream soda one?
Starting point is 00:41:25 I can't remember how we felt on that. I think it was largely belligerence. It was largely horrible. They're really a spartamimimi. Well, here we go. Which one do you want to start with? With those last ones, it was a spartamania. It was a spartamania, Paul.
Starting point is 00:41:42 Maybe we'll just stop the episode now. No, we can't, we can't stop now We can do that can't we, we can do anything we want It's our show You keep looming over me, this is weird It's because you're sitting down I'm gonna loom if you're sitting down aren't I I'm standing up because that's how I roll
Starting point is 00:41:57 I'm a very, I'm a very magnanimous and energetic person and I wish to strut Magnanimous? You're generous? Yeah You're not I am You're not that generous. You're not When was the last time you got me a birthday present or a Christmas present I got you on this year You got me one this year You mean last year? No, you didn't Couple of weeks 14th of September.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Yeah. Oh well. We'll see how magnanimous I am then, won't we? I just remember getting you like the wow, told me wow, and I remember getting you the pinball and I remember getting you the Rubik's maze thing and the Rubik's all the stuff, all the little fluffy things I've got that you've on literally on the recordings I've gone oh Paul what a wonderful thing thank you very much and then you say I got you something for Christmas and it's a box of tea a small box of tea no you don't like tea it's not my fault I do like tea I just don't like tea as a Christmas present it's like socks or a beanie hat yeah you like socks I don't get me a pin badge from a birthday. There you go
Starting point is 00:43:09 There's a challenge get me a pin badge from a birthday that you think I like All right. Yeah. Yeah. All right, and if you don't get one, I'm gonna cancel the podcast There you go. Everyone's listening if Eli doesn't get me a Pym badge, and I like the Pym badge, that's the other caveat. There's more caveats. Then Cheap Show is over. And next week after that will be an episode called Paul Gannon's Cheap Show, starring Paul Gannon and a rotating world of guests.
Starting point is 00:43:36 You can fill in. It's gonna be. It's gonna be huge. It's gonna be huge. I'll have all my friend turn up and weekly Weekly or maybe on my own if I have to either way the whole jet future of cheap show is based on Eli's success Come on, let's open this raspberry ripple. All right, you open it. I'm holding the microphone Flavors we definitely weren't these flavors I was just not sure if they were these flavors
Starting point is 00:44:09 So that artificial castorian flavour. Right. Castorian was the gland, beaver gland. Yeah. That they used to make raspberry flavour. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But smell it. I'm gonna smell it. I'm gonna smell it.
Starting point is 00:44:18 Get off. Okay, he's gonna pour some out. Right, he's pouring it out. It's still orange. It's very much the colour of iron brew. Right, I'm gonna it out. It's still orange. It's very much the colour of iron brew. Right, I'm going to have a snuff. Yeah, it smells like iron brew with a slight whiff of raspberry over the top of it. That's alright.
Starting point is 00:44:39 It's very sweet, isn't it? It's very sweet, but also it's kind of bubbly in a way that kind of foams up in the mouth. That's not too bad. That doesn't have that really extreme aspartame. It is there. It's definitely there. It's muted though, don't you think? But the raspberry, iron brew flavour kind of just masks it a little bit more. It does do that, doesn't it?
Starting point is 00:45:00 And I think that's a similar effect to Pepsi Max cherry. It masks the aspartame the flavor profile they've worked out a way of softening the edge of the aspartame. Aggressively disagree. Right next one is the wild berry slush. In it goes, gonna open it. And I'm gonna give it a huff. Do you know that generic mixed berry smell? It's that generic Nick Berry smell. Nick Berry. Nick every soda loses.
Starting point is 00:45:34 Oh it's a bit... Yeah, it's a bit blackcurrency. Yeah it's mixed berry isn't it? It's just that Nick Berry flavour. Every soda wins. He's having a little sup. I am gonna have a sup myself. Here's the sup time.
Starting point is 00:45:50 Let's have a report there. Ugh, tastes like medicine from Nana. Tastes like, you know, that kind of dissolvable medicine you get for like tummy aches or stuff. Or. Yeah, it's got a bit of a medicinal, not as successful at all as the raspberry ripple, is it? It's much more of the aspartame coming through the sort of emptiness.
Starting point is 00:46:10 Still, it's got a nice kind of chalky, dark berry aftertaste, which is okay, but upfront, there's not much there other than the fake sugar. They're not great, they're not great, but I do... I don't remember enjoying them this much the other flavours I tasted. No. These are, as sugar free things, so does go. These aren't bad are they really? No. It's crazy how sweet they are. It's actually sweeter than sugar isn't it? It feels like that. Is it that artificial sweetness? Yeah, it feels like that, doesn't it? So you know, alright, but I'm never going to willingly want to buy them on a hot sunny day, you know? I'd buy Pepsi Max cherry.
Starting point is 00:46:49 You what? I'd buy Pepsi Max cherry. Shut your fucking mouth. You animal. I'll cut that up, Ganon. Future Ganon, you prick. Are you gonna cut that out? Yeah. No, I can't. I've just got said it's real time. Hey.
Starting point is 00:47:02 You're not gonna cut anything out? I'm gonna cut. No, no. Unless you say something, like, I don't know, horrible. I don't time. Hey, I'm gonna cut I'm no no unless you say something like I don't know horrible I don't usually no I know do I no oh Just thought something racist to say didger go on what you're gonna say I wasn't gonna say anything You went ooh, which would suggest to me in a verbal agreement situation that you had something of excitement to add No, just said ooh. I just move. Ooh. No, just said ooh. I just went ooh. No, yeah, just can't, something, I just thought ooh, ooh.
Starting point is 00:47:30 That's what I thought. I think it's your id reacting to the need for attention before having anything to back that up. I think it's your body going, I need attention. I don't need it. Yeah. People. Like? The police? No. No, I get attention. Listen. People in alleyways who don't want you pissing anywhere near them? No, listen. You know, some have it, some don't. Drug dogs. Drug dogs. Yeah, you don't want that kind of attention. You really don't. You don't at all. Anyway. It happened to me once, you know, I got drug dogged at Totten Court Road Station.
Starting point is 00:48:15 Oh, of all places. I only had a very small amount of cannabis, herbal cannabis on me. And I looked across, because they do it in a mass mass they try and get loads of people when they do that I shouldn't I don't think they should do that personally you know it's a bit oppressive isn't it anyway they should legalize drugs I think decriminalize the list. But I looked across and someone had been caught as well some other person and they would literally lifted a full set of scales out of his backpack. We see it right in the Tube Station floor and it's sack basically of marijuana. I had a very similar thing happen to me at Angel Station when we used to do the laughing
Starting point is 00:48:56 cavaliers. I had again a little bit on me come out of Angel Station and dogs and I got pulled over taken into a little office and there was like good cop bad cop going on where one person was just like it's all right you know your little bit we'll just take your details and as long as you keep your nose clean for a couple of months you know it'll all be forgotten about don't worry meanwhile the woman was staring at me giving me eels and asking really weird questions like what's that and I had like a ukulele and I said oh it's a ukulele she goes well play it's a song then and I was like no it's all wrapped up and I haven't tuned it yet and then she goes well where are you going with it And I had like a ukulele and I said, Oh, it's a ukulele. She goes, well, play us a song then. And I was like, no, it's all wrapped up and I haven't tuned it yet. And then she goes, well, where are you going with it? And I was like, oh, I'm doing a thing at the pub.
Starting point is 00:49:30 I'm doing a comedy. And she went, oh, what kind of comedy? And this is after I've given my name and details and everything and all this, all the usual stuff. And I went improv. Oh, what's improv? I'm just very good at making things up on the spot. And she went, like your name and address. And I was like, no, I just meant in general.
Starting point is 00:49:47 And as I'm beginning to panic a little bit, this guy comes in with a big, like, Matrix coat on, opens it up, and every pocket's got a massive jar of pills and powders. And yeah, it was like Mary Poppins' carpet bag. It was just like jar, bags, jars. And he was like being very quiet just going I'm just gonna get my lawyer just gonna get my lawyer of
Starting point is 00:50:08 course yeah Wow anyway I had to keep my nose clean for nine months and then you that police forget all about it yes they do yeah and then you're not on a record anywhere lingering anyway here's the next bit hang on we've got left we're in the last 15 minutes Eli it. It's all happening. Dearest Paul and Eli, I stumbled across this very interesting item while browsing a trendy Asian snack shop here in Croydon. Ooh, I love Croydon, mate. Yeah, you're not going to like this, though.
Starting point is 00:50:38 Oh, God. Just before I read it, I'll just let you pull it out of the bag. And then I'll read. Oh, God. What is it? Oh God, I don't think we've done these every. We don't have, no not never. I'll just explain it.

And they were pretty rough. They are on the much more chemically end.
Starting point is 00:52:33 These sort of truck stop individual pickles. And for value for money, talk about cheap show, Paul. These aren't very good value for money at all. They're usually like £4 or something. For one pickle? Anyway. Anyway. Before you open it, let's... It's all they used that four pounds or something for one pickle anyway Anyway
