Hello, I'm little Johnny chimpanzee frying pan man.
Orr, orr!
Right, okay.
Just a little bit of context.
This is the second take of this.
This is the second take of this.
And we agree, between us, that it wasn't particularly successful.
The idea is that we were generating, we're particularly funny.
However, however.
I've come in with a blinder, I think you'll all agree.
I am Mr. Mickey Monkey from Chogny Bong Bong Street, or whatever it was you said.
Now that's even better.
Let's workshop this. I'm Chimney Bong Bong-o.
I'm Little Tim the Matchstick Tombo Jumbo.
Stop just saying anything that pops into your head.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Because here's the other bit of background behind the curtain stuff for this episode.
We're recording two and a go, right? Two and episodes in one day. Two and a go. Because Eli's the other bit of background behind the curtain stuff for this episode We're recording two and a go right two and episodes in one day to realize off to a Florida two in a go to it
I hope to do it. He still works. We're doing two and a go to it
I go and at this point in real life Eli
It's in Florida probably having a lovely time with his family and friends out there
If I was gonna have sex with two people would I say two in a go? Yeah, you would. I'm going for a two in a go.
Yeah.
Or if you had a poo and a pee at the same time.
Oh, I'm going for a poo and a poo and a two in a go.
I'm going for a two and a go.
And a tinkle.
Poo and a two and a go and a tinkle.
All right, well, Eli's decided that sentences are...
I'm tinkle tinkle, the minkle man.
I've got a ripply bloom bloom.
Or more esoteric concepts this week, I guess.
Oh, I'm esoteric Eric with my ferric ferrit.
Mate, you're gonna have to pull up your socks.
I'm a big magnet.
You're gonna have to pull up your socks.
That's my ferrit on that magnet.
Because I've come up with Donner eggs.
Esteric.
And Chibnobly Richard or whatever his name is.
Chibnobly Richard.
What was his name? Chilbanian?
I actually think we should give up.
We haven't said anything worth any shit.
I know but we've got to get into the real time aspect.
It's about three minutes.
One minute five, five seconds. One minute five, five seconds it was.
So Paul, what's going on with this week's episode?
Well, the point is, I'm trying to make before I'm so rudely interrupted by gob nonsense,
is that Eli is away and I've had to bank a few episodes. So this one, to make my life
easier, is going to be one of our patented real-time episodes,
where as soon as the credits go, we record,
and for one hour, we keep on chugging.
All goodness, all one hour, all go.
But don't worry, for we have a packed price of shite
to get through in this one-hour spectacular.
And look.
It's a massive bespoke price of shite.
It's sitting here in the living room,
bestried a table.
Bestried.
A top and bestried.
And it's a big box.
I've just given it a whack.
It's lovely and it's packed full and it's lovely.
I'll say lovely, lovely, lovely.
And you've seen nothing in this box, have you?
I've seen, if I was in the box,
I'd see very little because it'd be quite dark.
Right. Christ.
I haven't got the energy for this. I haven't got the energy for two.
I haven't got the energy for two.
I haven't got the energy for two.

don't you almost he almost leapt up I did all those pounds just for your
throated pounced and pounded pounced and pounded oh no no no no no no no no no
let's just say this you're grounded I'm well rounded I've pounced and pounded
you're grounded and if you don't behave you'll get pounded.
That's well founded.
By my mounded...
You're mounded.
Flesh lump.
Your mounded flesh lump?
Mate, can we start this link again?
No.
Oh you don't want to do this one.
I like it. I think it's been some good work done here.
Right, so anyway...
Fleshlight!
We were all thinking it. We were both thinking it.
I wasn't thinking fleshlight.
You had formed the concept fleshlight in your mind's eye.
Ladies and gentlemen, after the credits it becomes a real time episode.
Hold on tight because we're getting into the price of right shite.
God!
Try that bit again, ladies and gentlemen.
Ladies and gentlemen, hold on tight because we're going to play playing the price of shite
in real time tonight.
Is that better? It was better but I interrupted and you said play play. Play play. Ladies and gentlemen, hold on tight because we're going to play playing the price of shite in real time tonight.
Is that better?
It was better but I interrupted and you said play play.
Play play. All right, let's do it one more time.
Come on, every word enunciate.
Pong, pong, pong. Think of it like that.
The words come out all at once.
Patoing.
Yeah.
Patoing and bing.
Just think of each word as an atomic little...
This is all they...
...pistol nugget.
Ladies and gentlemen, that's right.
Let's play the price of shite tonight on Cheap Show,
alright?
Very good.
Cheap Show to the mother of all things.
Cheap Show to the mother of all things.
It's the Price of Shite.
Cheap Show to the mother of all things.
Welcome to Cheap Show.
Welcome to Cheap Show.
And we're going. And we're off.
An hour to do a colossal Price of Shite.
Let's get right into this. Now, it's Eli.
While I'm rummaging the box for the letter, can you please explain to people what the price of shite is and its accompanying scoring system?
Price of shite is a game that we play.
It's a price guessing game, Paul.
Prices of paper.
Yes, try not to make too much noise with the paper.
He's put the paper over his head.
I'm a pretty lady.
He's a pretty lady.
I've made a bonnet with the paper.
Paper shawl.
Oh, we have one.
Price of shite is the price guessing game
we play here on Cheap Show.
We take it in turns to guess the price of items often bought by our dear listeners.
Can you stop? It's really annoying me.
Yeah, I'm opening the box. I'm making more of an effort for the listener. Uh, each item will be guessed the price of, and the normal rules are if you guess the exact price of an item exactly right, you get two points.
And what, Paul, if I may interrupt you for a second, what are points known as in this game of ours?
We call them petwings.
They're called petwings. Two petwings, if you guess them...
Do I be opening that fucking envelope?
I've got to get the two envelopes stuck together.
He's having a little jeez, trying to get me distracted
while he peers at the scores and fucking cheats.
So, just let you know that he's well known as a cheater at this game.
I'm fucking not well known as a cheater.
It's a documented cheater.
You're a documented cheater.
There's this very famous cheater in the world of PokerPool
called Men the Master.
He's an American-Vietnamese poker player called Men the Master. You're Paul the Master.
Anyway, so if you guess the price exactly right, you get 25...
There's more paper. It's not quite a lot of paper in this box.
It really is fucking annoying you doing that.
Is there anything actually in that box?
I mean, I can see one record. And...
There's more paper. There's generally lots of paper in here.
If you guess the price but you're not quite right, either side of the real price by 25p or less,
you get one point. One point! And those are the... because it's very hard to guess the exact price of something.
Those single betweens are usually what's sealed the deal.
Usually winner. Now we do have a very special extra.
What's the word I'm looking for?
Bonus point. And that is the quid gambit.
Now, often in cheap show, an item will come along and it will be
priced as a pound. Now, if you guess or want to risk it, you can say that that item is a pound.
And if you get it right and it is a pound, not only do you get the two for the correct points,
but an extra two for playing the quid's gambit. So you get four potwings if you play
the quid's gambit successfully. Right. Because over the years, quid has come up a lot. And so we've got this extra rule. Unless the letter, this is a bespoke box sent in by a listener. Thank you very
much, whoever you are. We'll get to it in a minute. We'll get to that in a minute. But
they may have their own rules. There's sometimes there are rules such as bonus rules where
you sort of order the items or sometimes there was another thing. Sometimes items are free and if you
guess that the one that costs nothing you get an extra per twink for that sometimes.
Sometimes there's things like that. Oh there's some bubble wrap in there as well. Now there's
been a letter sent with this huge price of shite. Paul please read it. Here we go it's
reading a letter time. Let's get through this. Hi Paul and Eli it's Kirsty and Bryn here.
Hello Kirsty, hello Bryn. In the box you'll find some shite for the price of shite game. time. Let's get through this. Mangy. A-A-N-G-M-E-R-I-N-G. Ang Meringue. They live in a place called Ang Meringue.
They do not live in a place called Ang Meringue.
What's it say then? It says Ang Meringue.
Hi Paul and Eli.
I'm Ang Meringue.
It's, it's Kirsty and Bryn here.
What? What?
In the box, you'll find some shite for the Price of Shite game.
Why are you reading it like a woman's own letter or something?
Or like Esther Ranton.
A woman's own letter?
Yeah, like the magazine Woman's Own.
Or Esther Ranton on That's Life.
I'm trying to impart some clarity and joy to this,
which you've destroyed.
I'll impart some clarity.
I don't know what that means yet.
I know what it means.
Bomb things.
No, impart some clarity, right?
Think about it.
What's see-through?
What's clear?
Glass.
Spunk.
Oh, no. Impart some clarity. When I get it in my eyes, I can't see through it. I's clear? Glass. Spunk. Oh, no.
When I get it in my eyes, I can't see through it.
I'll put clarity juice all over you.
Not clear.
I'm clarity juice!
What does she do?
Oh, I'm a junior editor.
Fucking boring. Bye. Go on, let her read it.
Hi Paul and Eli, it's Kirsty and Bryn here.
We've read that bit. Shut your mouth. Skip to the bit where I couldn't get the name. I'm going to run her read it. Hi Paul and Eli, it's Kirsty and Bryn here. We've read that bit.
Shut your mouth.
Skip to the bit where I couldn't get the name.
I'm going to run up to it.
You're eating into the real time of this episode.
You and I both know we need to fucking fill this with waffle.
Hi Paul and Eli, it's Kirsty and Bryn here.
In the box you'll find some shite for the Price of Shite game.
We went to some charity shops around a place called Rustington, West Sussex, near to where we live in Ang-ang-Meringue
Hahahaha
Yeah, it's that place, Ang-Meringue
Ang-Meringue, I never heard of it
Yeah, Ang-Meringue I think it's called
Okay, alright, go on
There are six items
Alright, this is now we're into the juice
Yeah
We're into the fucking nutnuts
We're into the meat of it
There are six items for the price of shite
Yeah
And also some games from charity
shops just for you to play. Maybe. Oh okay. Maybe for Ganon's Golden Games. Okay. To everyone
who's not aware, Ganon's Golden Games is another segment where Paul picks a game up. It's just a
segment where we play board games. Yeah. That's exactly what I was going to say. I don't think
it's important for this. You know you saying let's get on with it three times, you know what that's exactly what I was gonna say. I don't think it's important for this... You know, you saying let's get on with it three times,
you know what that's doing?
Making it not get on with it.
You get on with it.
Now, do you know what's happening now,
when you make me angry?
We don't get on with it.
Ganna's Golden Games, where we play board games.
We hope you like them, the games.
Paul, would you stop rustling?
But those sheep ain't gonna get out of this by myself.
The price of shite items altogether is alright. So we got a ceiling.
Oh, we got a window.
It's not a fucking window.
You wanted a window last week.
Because it is a window. It's a technical term, meaning a price range, you fucking nitwit.
No, six items.
They, we actually have an actual price of a combined price for all the items, Paul, okay?
Yeah.
I'm sorry I called you a nitwit then, but fuck me you are.
That's the kind of like show killer comment that could ruin this show forever.
Shut up.
Don't you use the N-word here.
£13.49 all six items came to.
£13 and what?
£49.49, so what? 49 pence.
So that is the actual price.
Now it's best for us not to think too much about that
because then we'll be doing all little micro adjustments
and that's not the way we like to play.
After all, you do get between if you're 25 P above
or below the actual price.
So you could still get, you know, a lot of p'twings.
You can still get six p'twings and never get an exact price.
52 minutes left!
There's plenty of time left, mate.
Come on then.
Why, come on!
Come on then!
There's plenty of time!
I'm going to finish reading the letter at my own fucking pace
and then we'll get on to it, OK?
You're going to read the letter with your special pace?
What did you say?
I'm going to cover the letter in my special pace.
Oh dear.
Later on. The price of shite items altogether, 13.49. I'm going to cover the letter in my special place. Oh dear.
Later on.
The price of shy items altogether 1349.
Yeah, I've written that down.
I have put the answers.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah.
Who is it who's put the answers?
Kirstie or Bryn?
One or the other.
But they say I here.
I have put the answers and where they were bought from in an envelope. Cuddles for Riley.
That is Paul's cat. That's my cat. He's much better now, thank you. But he's ancient. Oh
shit, we don't have the prices. It's fallen out, maybe it's in the box. Hang on. It shouldn't
have been so rough when you were throwing everything out.
No, it's over there.
Is that the one back there?
Yes, you twine it.
Oh yeah, I just opened it.
That was the other envelope that you brought out a minute ago.
Right.
I forgot there were two.
Fucking hell.
Really testing my patience.
What would we have done if there were no answers?
We would have been fucked.
Well, good thing I could see where you absentmindedly placed them.
Right, well, I am now going to put this.
Get Multifibbage on that.
Where is Multifibbage?
He's there.
I literally know where things are in your room better than you.
It's because you're a nosy prick.
Fuck off.
Right, put Multifibbage on.
How will Grubble do you want Nuders Poach being protected from Grubble?
Grubble, Grubble, Grubble, Grubble. There's Multifibbage those points being protected? Gribble grubble. Gribble grubble.
Here's Mulchy Fibberge. Say hello to him. Hello Mulchy.
Hello wheelie wheelie wheelie.
I'm out here gribbly grubbling today. Are you alright?
I've heard you've got some points for me, Gribble grubble.
Yes, if you could just protect those with your
feral pagan energy.
Put my dirty fucking ass on it.
Yes, that's what I mean.
Blibble blubble blibble blubble. Go and fuck off over there please. Put my dirty fucking ass on it. That's what I mean yes.
Go and fuck off over there please.
I'm going to put him over here.
There he is.
Sitting now atop the points.
Ok Paul and you're going to take the points and introduce the items to me please.
And we're ready to play. Now, should I sing this song?
I think we should because I want your little guy to come in and give...
I can't remember his name now unfortunately.
It doesn't matter, he just has to come in, right?
I've got to get him out of his box.
Oh, God. He's manipulated that box.
Here we go, I've got him.
You ready?
Tinkle, tinkle, tong. Can you please?
He's purring.
No, I want him to be quiet for a minute or else I'll fucking put him down.
Quiet down, little one. With extreme prejudice.
Quiet down, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
Oh yeah, he's sleeping. My boot.
I'll put my boots right down his fuck.
I'll crush his little skull with my boot.
You fucking touch him, and that's a podcast killer.
Stop, stop threatening the podcast.
Knit with now this.
You're crossing fucking lines today, mate.
All right?
I just want a little bit of quiet
while I start the fucking finging.
He's quiet, he's just excited. I'm stroking him. Go on! What was that? Come on then! That
sounded like a pigeon or an owl was in here. No, it's not a chumbly-wumbly-witch or whatever
his name is. What are you doing? I just heard something. Did you do a little- No, we've
got a ghost cat in this house. That's what it is. Is there a cat in here? No, a ghost cat. Oh, it's the fucking price of shite.
It's the fucking price of shite.
It's the fucking price of shite.
Oh, it's the fucking price of shite.
Dead right.
Thank you very much.
Put him back in his box.
Put him back in the fucking box.
Dead right. He's just like Gremlins, everyone. Thank you very much. Now put him back in his box. Put him back in the fucking box! Did I try?
He's just like Gremlins, everyone.
Now-
49 minutes to go.
He's gonna keep saying that.
He's gonna keep counting this down.
I'm confused.
So it's taken us 10 minutes to open the box.
We haven't got any other content, Paul.
So you better fucking have some delaying tactics.
The thing is, the letter says there's some games in here,
right? It says games in there as well for Gannon's Golden Games
what are they are they this is what I'm saying are they part of no those are
just for Gannon's Golden Games all right because I don't think there are six items
and let's just start with one here's the first one and it's cut on the side
why because when I opened it with my Stanley knife. Oh my God. I gashed it.
It's fine. I only trimmed it.
You fucked it completely.
No, just on one side.
You completely fucked this.
And here's the other thing. I've already got that one.
I've already got this.
All right, Paul.
But Jesus Christ.
What?
Well, I didn't know there was going to be a record and it had to be fair.
I did cut it near the top.
It was just that it was stacked on the side.
Fair enough.
So come on now.
And it doesn't look like you've hurt the actual disc.
I haven't hurt the disc at all.
You've really messed up the cover.
I've just sliced the edge off.
This is, as advertised on TV, Chaz and Dave's Knees Up.
Hey-oh.
It says include songbook. Is there a songbook?
Yeah, there is.
Oh, did you ruin that as well?
I don't know. I haven't opened it because I panicked. But yeah, the old... Oh, the songbook's intact! Well done! We could pair that
up with a better... you have a copy because I bet you're... No, it's got the other one. It's got the
songbook as well. To be fair, I've yet to go to a charity shop, find one of these albums and they
not come with one. Weird. This is Jamboree Bag Number two so this is a whole series. I think they did
look like the five of them. They are party records essentially. Yes. In the Stars on 45
sort of style or Mrs Mills or yeah these are records in the easy listening sphere people
designed to just put on at a party whilst you can drink and have fun. That's it it's all built
around clap traps. They're long playing LPs.
Clap, clap, clap, clap tracks.
It's equivalent to someone putting on,
oh, party music on Spotify.
But less horribly dystopian and exploitative of everyone involved.
Algorithm driven.
Algorithmically driven hellscape that we find ourselves in.
But these were quite successful successful I seem to believe.
They must have been because they made loads of them.
Well they made loads of them and they all come with songbooks so they're all designed for parties
to have a good old knees up around.
But Chaz and Dave also had like number one records as well.
So they must have been raking it in for a few years in the early 80s.
Late 70s, early 80s was probably their most verdant time.
TV music they were doing.
Always on TV.
They were doing a lot of stuff.
know, verdant time. TV music they were doing, you know, they were doing a lot of stuff. Yeah. Yeah. I can remember them being hated by a certain kind of sneery middle-class person,
i.e. my parents at the time. It's funny, do you know what it is with Chaz and Dave? It's like
they've gone round the horn. It's like they started off with like respect, the rockin'y thing,
the classic piano with the cockin'y music. Yeah, and they were session musicians who are, by
definition, respected musicians.
And then they do their own thing as Chaz and Dave, and then they make a few hit albums
and they're successful, but then that over exposure maybe on all those platforms probably
got to the point where they were seen.
I wouldn't say intentionally, but maybe sadly, along with Black Lace and things like that.
As NAF, but they were never as bad.
But they were never NAF, because they had true artistic musical like a soul. Talent and songwriting, everything. And a love for the genre
and blues and keeping that old music alive. Ain't No Pleasing You is a heartbreaking song. And it's a banger.
And it's a banging pop tune. Anyway, we've got a lot of love for Chas and Dave here, don't we? So you can
imagine that eventually you wear out Your Welcome and then that becomes... Yeah, their ubiquity maybe
was what it was. And they're associated with a NAff part of light entertainment of the 80s they were but they weren't as
naff as it or as the rest of it were no no no no completely different postcode
to that shit yeah then you get to you know like just before was it Chaz died
or one of them died a few years ago no Dave I believe past either way just
before then they were kind of getting their respect back in terms of like the
musical press taking them more seriously and And they were digging a new album, didn't they?
Yeah, they were more mature, they liked stuff.
Like an acoustic version of their stuff, yeah.
And I would say a large part of that
was probably thanks to Jules Holland.
Because I think his kind of music and also the Hootenannys
all kind of felt like it was a natural movement
from Chas and Dave. Oh my God,
we watched some of the Hootenanni this year.
Fucking hell, mate.
Do you wanna just call it a coke party and be honest and get it done?
It's not even that. It's just the fucking just self-congratulatory smug.
Yeah, it's a very smug show.
Just some of the performance so fucking over-raw and cheesy and shit. It's just like
the death of culture. And I was fucking high as fuck and drunk and it was freaking me out.
Yeah, well, I watched the Sophie Alex Becks the Countdown to 2000 or whatever.
Wasn't that on the Hootonane?
No it was on BBC on the other side it was dead good.
I think we saw a bit of that as well.
We're on the dance floor, let it all feel the beats and she sang some good old.
She had another hit she had that hit again.
Fair play to her most people don't get one.
I know but she's had one that was re-hit.
Bought?
Re-hitted as in reheated-hit. Re-hitted.
As in reheated.
Yes, re-hitted.
Re-hitted in the microwave for 15 minutes.
Yes, he re-hitted it in the microwave of a fucking,
of a film release.
Which happened so, which is something that used to happen
in the 80s as well, didn't it?
Yeah.
A song from the 60s, such as Let It Be,
Benny King, would become a huge hit again.
Yeah.
Decades later.
And I suppose this is the equivalent,
because when was the original?
When was that originally?
Well, it's been like 90s.
So like 98, 99 maybe.
And yeah, so over 20 years ago.
That is funny to think, though, because, yeah, because it's the same gap
between Let It Be and Let It Be, the movie and the late 60s.
When he first put that out.
Yeah. As the gap between when she put that
Murder on the Dance Floor and then salt burn came out two years ago.
There you go.
Fuck me.
Oh, I'm ancient.
Yeah.
I'm just hurtling towards the grave.
Yeah.
Anyway.
It's like the Xbox advert they banned.
Where someone's hurtling towards the grave.
I think the advert's really good, but basically you see a woman pregnant and then she fires
out a baby from her, Coochie.
I remember.
And as it's flying through the air, it's aging,
so it's a teenager, the middle age,
and then it's a corpse, then it goes right into the coffin.
And then the advert was like,
life's too short for not having fun.
Was that a 90s thing?
No, it would've been 2000,
because that's when the Xbox came out.
Anyway, Chaz and Dave album.
This is the knees up, it's got all the lyrics in there.
What's the, can I have a look?
I wanna see what,
because usually they're themed.
Track list, you want the track list?
No, no, no, because usually they're themed,
one side is this type of music, the other side is boogie woogie or rock and roll
so i can see some problematic numbers here um well there's also a point the third uh the third
tune in we have a tune called paul don't anyone speak english yeah but that's one of those we're
on holidays in spain kind of. I don't think it's
like they're walking through the city centre and complaining about that.
Turn that noise down.
Because if there's one thing I believe Chas and David are true to is that they love multiculturalism.
Beer belly, behave yourself.
Where's that? There's the one about fat women as well.
Ain't no pleasing you, one of their greatest. I miss you girl, Lonnie Dee, wallop, rabbit,
wallop.
There's like a mix of theirs and all what standards that's right
well usually they're themed oh my god mustn't grumble this album is dedicated to chas's mum
daisy without her help none of these songs these songs would have been forgotten which is interesting
another way of looking at this preservation of music that was that was disappearing from the
consciousness well and it and these dates is entirely gone but there was a whole tradition
of singing around the piano wasn't there that That went on for years and music hall and
songs like that. And it's like it's hidden away in pockets of London now. I don't think
it really exists. No it does. I went to some pub. Five years ago. Yeah but it was a well
known pub near, I want to say like Notting Hill, that whole area. Right not the East
End there. No no no it was a pub inting Hill, but it's like you go in,
there's an old lady on the piano and everyone started singing.
It was like a thing people knew was going to happen on a Sunday.
Yeah, yeah.
And like I think a lot of people were there,
like tourists just to watch it with amazement.
Yeah, it's more of a touristy thing, but it was a grassroots,
an actual thing that would happen in neighborhoods in London for decades.
You know what I mean?
Like they'd all sing around the piano.
And what these jamborees are trying to sort of give a flavour of, aren't they?
But they're not the first people who did it. There's loads of those records.
Different people playing the old piano, the old Joanna.
Keeping that music alive from an old generation.
Yes. But like you say, they were multicultural because they were very into the blues as well.
All sorts of music, really, when you think about it.
Because there's a little bit of everything in there at times.
Rockne, they invented a genre. They did and they aced it.
Right, that's so how much though Eli you're gonna go first. I'm playing my quids gambit. Already? I'm just gonna do it.
Fuck it. I'm gonna put that down as the Q.
Qid's gambit. QG.
Right, I know that's fine. Now I don't...
QG. Right, that's fine. Now I don't... well the thing is I've noticed that vinyl is all over the place price-wise at the moment. Also, a quid is a very normal price for a vinyl.
It's not worth a quid now that you fucking completely destroyed the cover. But the problem
with the Queen's Gambit, the quid's gambit, is if you see someone play the quids gambit, you know if they are right, you're going to get fucked.
I know that's the quandary I'm in.
At least two betwings.
I'm going to go ahead and say £1.50 because I'm going to...
Oh, not £1.25.
I'm going to ride this coaster.
£1.50 isn't good, Nick. It has to be said, it's perfect, the vinyl.
And if you hadn't completely shredded the cover... It's not as bad as he's saying. I love these little scenes where I go about you
breaking stuff. Yeah you break my heart. Oh yeah. Laugh that off cheeky. Right so that's
150 and you said a quid let's see what the next item is. Okay. Right. He's not
letting me look in the box
everyone. He's been very
secretive. This looks like. Oh
it's a nice bit of shit this.
Wow. This is tat. Very much on
the tat scale. Oh can I say
that again? Let me say this.
This is tat. This is primo tat.
This is tat. I'm gonna tat that ass. You go, I'm gonna tat that ass. I'm gonna tat that ass.
I'm gonna tat that ass.
I'm gonna not say that again.
Now, this...wow.
I...ooh.
Alright, just tell them what it is, because right now you're just doing an impression of the whole of the carry-on cast.
Ooh.
Shit.
This is the wearable kitchen timer.
It is a chick, a chick as in a baby chicken, a baby chicken
kitchen timer, which is on a lanyard.
Shall I open it? If you want to, you wear it around.
It will ruin it. It will ruin it.
Depends on if you think it's mint on card.
It is mint on card. It's not mint on card.
It's utterly mint on card. It's just on card.
It's on card and it's mint. What else? What does it say on the back? There's writing. Okay, here we go.
Operating instructions. So basically, just to re-clarify, it is a plastic, you know, timer
that is in the shape of a little chick chick and you wear it around your neck. It's yellow and has a little,
what's that, the crown on a chick's head called? Crown? It's not there, is it? The red flange?
The fringe maybe. It's not the flange. A flange is a vagargin.
Is it?
Yes. In colloquial.
I've never heard that. I thought a flange was something in a car, which is about paddles and shit.
No, a flange is a...
Or a boat.
It's a sound effect.
Okay Google, what's a flange?
It's a sound effect.
Oh.
It's a protruded lip or rim or something. Well, I don't know
what else is there. Ignore the
rest of it. Well done though.
That is that it's a fringe. Okay.
Well done. But it is also sound
effect. Shut up, mate. Shut up.
Shut up now. I'm opening it
because it's on card. Yeah. So this is what, let's just say in the kitchen,
you've got the rice on, and you don't know how long that's
been in for.
Maybe it's got to be in for 20 minutes.
You set 20 minutes.
And then, oh no.
You've got to add your neck.
The chicken's been in the oven.
That's got to be in the oven for 40 minutes.
So you set another timer for 40.
So you can have multiple timers going on.
And then they all go off at different times.
So you can keep a track of what's cooking.
Oh, it's got a magnet.
It's got one little pull thing.
Oh, yeah.
Should I pull it?
Yeah. That will set the, that will start it off. Provide the batteries aren't completely
dead after all these years. Cause this looks like an early 2000s, late 90s thing. No, it's
doesn't seem to be coming on. Oh, I mean it's no great loss. It would have been, it would
have been nice if it went macaque. Well look, there it is. It's nice. It's a nice dangler.
It's if you, you don't, I guess it is addressing the problem of putting the timer down and
forgetting where you put it, but then surely you'd hear it.
Yeah.
So why does that even matter?
Well I think it's because if you put it in one place and you want to get to it in time,
it might be across the kitchen or you might have your hands full.
So maybe it's just-
It just makes it convenient it's just there.
It's a convenience, yeah.
Yeah, okay.
Has it got a magnet on the back as well?
Is that what that black patch is? Oh right, you can put it on the fridge, yeah. Has he got a magnet on the back as well? Is that what that's black? You can put it on the fridge. Yes. Yeah magnet on the back. Very good
Metal yeah. Yeah, it's good. That works. Don't stick it on the mic of all the fucking places
It's making noise violent loud noise and I was making press
And this is a podcast killer.
It's the third podcast killer. With the mic stand is a podcast killer.
Three strikes and you're out usually. Anyway, you have to guess the price on this,
Paul. Remember, we're looking at six. How much was it? 13 altogether.
13.50 almost altogether. Right. I'm going to.
See that? He's trying to ignore the 50p there. He hates half, he hates any
fraction of a number. Paul, watch him be mean to fractions for the rest of the show. I'm gonna say
that that... He won't use a fraction. I'm gonna regret this but I'm gonna say the quids gambit on that.
No, I think that's fair. That's fair. That's fair. I'm saying £1.75. I mean none of these could be a
quid in the end and we'd be quite the fools.
Yes, there was no mention of the quid.
No, there's no question in it.
We're just playing a freestyle.
Did you read the back of the letter? I can't remember if you read the back of the letter.
Yes, I read the whole fucking thing. Oh, maybe I didn't.
Oh!
It's because you wouldn't let me.
Here we go. Blame Ganon for the fact that you're an incompetent chod.
I have put the answers and where they were brought from in an envelope.
Well that must be that. Cuddles for Riley. Yes I did it. Okay yeah good fine. And then
we mentioned Riley. Yeah we did. And it says PSC you at the next live show. Which is October
18th I think. 19th. Check the website. Well if you're a patron you'll have the link already
to get tickets. And guess what I forgot to mention we're going to have some magazines
there as well for sale and new cheap show pin badges for the Cheerful EFL podcast festival.
And the design has been done by Tony yet again. And I really like it. And I'll tell you what
it is. It's your face and my face split down the middle joined together. So it's kind of
like a, you know, like my face is on the left and yours is on the right sealed. Is it round?
Yeah, round. Yeah, it's's good I'll show you it later
and then I'll show you the artwork and then I'll show you my penis again and then I'll show you my
cupboard and then I'll show you my penis and then I'll show you that book I bought and then I'll
show you penis everything you see will be will be interrupted by a penis pick in between.

You like an open this one? Oh,
and it's a little figurine or
another of some sort and it's
uh have a look at it covered in
uh it looks like a killer whale
I can see through the bubble
wrap. Is it a killer whale? Yes,
it's a it's an orca statuette.
Isn't it? Oh no, it's it's not It's a badger. It's very different. You can see how the top of a badger looks like a killer whale.
Yeah, no, I can go with that.
Everyone, with the monochrome.
This is a textured little badger with his little claws.
He's cut off half way.
Oh, and it's got a sticker on the bottom.
I think this is...
It feels like something you should put in the garden,
like if it's coming out of the ground.
It's a sitting animal. Is he sitting?
I'm talking out of the ground. Because it looks like it's only half of him. Like the top half, like he's crawling out of the ground. It's a sitting animal. Is he sitting?
I'm talking out of the ground.
Because it looks like it's only half of him.
Like the top half, like he's crawling out of the ground.
It's a little fucking badger.
Badger!
Care instructions.
Put it on the ground and look at it.
Weather resistant, it says.
I would say it's an outdoor ornament.
Yeah, you can put it in.
It's like a mold, though.
You know what it reminds me of? Like, you know,
those kids sets you could buy
where it's like you pour mold
into a like a latex. It's some
kind of resin. Yeah. You know
what I mean? You could paint it
after I had a Ghostbusters one.
It does look like that, but this
is ready made. Made in China.
I'm going to say £2. Yeah. £2
for the badger. Is it badger?
Yeah. It must be a badger. You
can tell by its claws and distinctive black and white Yeah. Yeah. Two pounds for the badger. Is it badger? Yeah. It
must be a badger. You can tell
by its claws and distinctive
black and white furniture.
Yeah. Right. So, two pounds you
say for that? I'm going to say
two pounds. Yeah. Oh. It's
pretty good, Nick. Alright.
Sticker on it, you know? Hmm.
It's a resin badger. Hmm. I am
also going to say, I'm going to say I'm gonna say 175. Okay. It's a resin badger and I like to
extrude spunk out out of my tajah. Right. Anything? No. The worst thing is this is a
real-time episode if I cut this as I should that awful bit. Spunk out of the tajah? Now it comes out of the
episode and then it's not real-time no more. Well don't why why would you cut me saying
spunk out of the tajah? Because it's it's feckless don't, why would you cut me saying Spunker out of the tangent?
Because it's feckless, isn't it? It's pointless.
It's feckless.
It adds nothing to the rich comedy tra-
It adds nothing.
To the rich comedy tapestry of this podcast.
The rich comedy bumstew.
Oh, see what I mean? I can't even cut that out now.
Can't cut any of your asinine jokes out.
And mate, between you and me and the wall,
I cut so much shit out of you every week.
Fuck off. Like there's like literally hours of footage of Eli barking I could put together. between you and me in the wall I cut so much shit out of you out every week fuck off
every like there's like literally hours of footage of Eli barking I could put together
I don't bark it's just me talking about something I feel passionate about which he fucking senses
everyone
there's nothing else in the box
that
oh god
is that must be item four
that's an item yeah
I don't even know what that is.
This is a wall decoration, Paul.
Shit.
Three wooden hearts.
One says...
Do you want to do it into the mic?
One says live.
Yeah.
One says laugh.
Oh fucking hell.
What do you think the third one says?
Love.
It doesn't.
Kill yourself.
It says home.
Oh fuck off.
This is a cheap, horrible, tacky, nasty thing.
This is the stuff killing the world.
Err, I mean it's wood at least.
It's wooden string.
But, but the point is it's still unnecessary resources for basically a Christmas card type
sentiment.
It's terrible and someone's used a really cheap sort of metallic silver pen to hand
write those in and god it sucks so
hard there are rivets on the home one which are little harp shaped rivet things
it's awful it's god it's making me feel bad just holding it where'd you hang it
hang it up in the bedroom yeah live laugh home on your door handle we're home
oh look Jeffery we're home because it says on the wall of laugh home oh now
can I have fucking full anal go right then I wish you would cut some of this
Yeah, I wish you would too because you've been quite a few anal gags recently. I like anal I've heard that rumor
Up the pipe Mike, that's what they'll call you. I wish they did up the Chunta Manta. I don't know no I've caught it
caught this random shit
Manta very good. Now, it's your go to test the price of this
I think we can both agree our least favorite item so far now my dark heart
He hates stuff like this. My dark heart says that this maybe should have been the quids gambit
But I wish to God
that no one paid a quid for that. You can change your quid's gambit there's nothing against that.
True there is but I'm gonna go ahead and say 75p. Oh you're under a quid there.
Now this is new I would say one terrible I think 150. Paul's gonna win everyone.
I don't know cuz remember goes up goes up to 13.49 and so far
How much have you spent? I've spent more than you have.
You've got one, two, three, four, five, six pound twenty-five you've said so far.
Alright.
And I've gone one, two, three,
five, five fifty.
Well it's not that much less. Let's see what else is in the box Paul.
Well this is where I'm a bit confused, because you know they said the Ganon's Golden Games thing wasn't part of it.
Well it must be, because... Because there's only six items. There's one big obvious item
It's a keychain
It's a keychain with an N
dangling off a key fob thing and it's made of resin with sparkles in and it's purple and orange and it's shit and
Obviously belong to someone called Nigel or fucking nitwit. obviously belonged to someone called Nigel. Or fucking nitwit.
Don't throw it at my nuts.
I throw nitwit at your nuts.
This sucks.
It does, it sucks.
I hate it.
I hate it so much.
Could be a Z.
Could be a Z.
Yeah.
Don't say Z.
Appealing to the international audiences, aren't they?
It's not like...
I like those quirky accents those British guys do.
I like it
So why would you use their bucket? Why would you use their word?
Against yourself. No, I'm just saying it. I'm just saying leave it. It helps them recognize what we're saying
What's this Zed they say Zed?
I only know the letter Z so I don't know I don't know not in very like an old character
He's no no, that's gonna you four fucking voices, Eli Silverman.
What do you want to say?
This is a piece of shit.
Do I have to guess the price?
Do I expose my lack of talent right here and now?
75p. 75p for the key ring, please.
Fuck you.
I'm not writing that down.
All your points are just...
Come on. Stop being such a cunt.
Write down.
Podcast killer.
It's not.
You see everyone listening right now.
You see what he's doing?
He's breaking this podcast up.
I'm not.
With every single microaggression he's doing.
Microaggression this.
Microaggression that he does.
Also, he causes penis microaggression.
Ha ha ha ha.
No, I crossed the line there.
I did.
I crossed the line.
I'm sorry.
You're killing the podcast, Paul. It's a podcast killer.
Right.
What did you say? 75p?
I said 75p for that.
Right. I don't know. God. Awful.
I mean, a lot of these you could say were quids-gamut material.
Yeah. I am... Because I know what's last.
I can see where this might go. But...
It's big. It's a big bouquet. I've seen... I've glimpsed the bouquet.
I'm going to be funny in a weird way and just say 90p.
It's hilarious.
One of the most funny things you've ever said.
I know I might be very witty to some.
So everyone remember that bit on Cheap Show where he said 90p?
Is the last one moment of the year Paul says 90p and he flagged
it up as well.
It's been funded.
Best moment of cheap show in 2025 last thing. Yeah, God, this sucks.
Sorry, Brynn and God.
Ready?
Here we go.
Sorry, Brynn.
Close your eyes.
Close your eyes.
Box sucks.
Close your eyes.
Well, it's called the price of shite.
It is shite and it is shite.
So where have they failed?
When your favorite item is literally a novelty
to egg timer.
Kitchen timer.
Well, put your hand out.
You might think this one is the best one.
Should I close my eyes?
You need to give close eyes, put both hands out.
It's big, it's a big thing.
Yeah, it's a big thing.
He's gonna thwop it, isn't he?
Die!
Put me warm hand in his hand.
Now go on, close it again.
Yes. Ooh.
It is an awful, horrible piece of shit
that I can't wait to get out of this house.
Ooh, this is an Emmanuel chair.
Is that what they call it? Emmanuel.
I don't know, but they're famous from that.
Porn film. It's a wicker.
It's not wicker, it's rattan.
Okay. I believe they call this rattan. It's a wicker. It's not wicker, it's Ratan. Okay. I believe they call this
Ratan. It's a miniature Ratan chair. If they made it out of a ITV kids TV puppet, it would
be a Roland Ratan chair. Wouldn't it? Bum bum. Bum him. It did, it did, that got me. Esther Rantan.
Oh Esther Rantan. Maybe we should have done that instead like celebrities and cheers gags, you know.
Esther Rantan. Yeah. Now there's a, this is miniature, I'd say it's about one third normal
size.
Yeah.
Like a doll size, really.
It is, you can imagine almost a dolly sitting in that in a corner of a bedroom.
Except they wouldn't be able to, Paul, because there's a bunch of artificial flowers on the seat.
Yeah.
It's a decorative miniature Rat-An chair with flowers on.
It's what I would say a nan-pleaser.
Do you know? God. You know, that would be- Well how would you please your nan with it? Like, I can put it on your arm and-
Waffle up the chuffer. Waffle the chuffer with it. Waffle the chuffer, yeah, I do that
with me now. Does she get a hot chuff and needs to cool him down? You're right, I put
a miniature Ratan chair on my fist and then Roger my nan with it. Oh no, I wouldn't say
Roger. He's the man next door. You waft.
Oh now you've wafted the flowers everywhere. Oh the glue bit. Oh this is a terrible thing.
Mate. It's all going in the bin anyway. That bouquet ain't okay. Oh do you know what there's
a powdery. You know that stuff they use to make. Do you know. Do you know that stuff
they use to put flowers in that?
It's all sort of powder foam.
Yeah, that's it. I haven't seen
that since 1987. It's all got
powder on my hands. It's a dirty
thing. Thanks for forcing that.
It's not my go to guess. Is it?
No, it's your go. What have I
got? £1, £2, £3. Oh, there's
not going to be, I'm not feeling successful with this
Well, I never do so welcome to my world
I might do want to go through the prices quickly see if I'm gonna amend them
No, I want you to give me a price for this then we go for an amendment afterwards an amendment round
I'm gone. I've done an error. What do you mean? You've done an area? You didn't write down what it was
Album and what was the second thing? It was the egg time. It's not as easy as it looks
Then what was the next thing we did after the egg timer I forgot now it was the was it that if love home home thing a heart and
then it was the end then it was the end key fob and then what was the other one
it was nothing was because we just written it down for 75 p and 90 p what
was that was that was the key fob
Wasn't it key thing? Yeah, so what was the one before badger? Oh, yeah the badger resin badger
Badger right got it. You were hidden out of sight. He keeps putting things over there. Yeah, I know
Great idea close your eyes for the rest of time. He's turned his back on me
Good thing I'm fucking here. Where is he? Oh blimey. I'll just have to relax and I like to relax with a wank
So I'm gonna do that right now. He's gonna do the mouth noise now. Oh here we go mouth noise time
Wouldn't it be funny if I actually started wanking right now? It wouldn't it would be strange and I would leave
Oh, you're here, right? So how much't, it would be strange and I would leave.
Oh you're here. Right, so how much for the big wicket shirt?
I'm asking you that Paul.
I know and I said already, so go on you'll go.
What was your guess?
Well I'm not going to tell you if you weren't listening.
You're a cunt and I hate the way you fucking mock me.
I'm going to go ahead and regretfully to bump this up to something.
I'm going to say four quid.
I'll say five. Oh, he goes five.
Right there. Is that the last item?
Well, that's the rest of the games here.
Can we see the games?
TV 80s trivia. Oh, let's have a few of those.
I'll tell you why, because if this runs out,
which I think it might do in the next five minutes, we can do these next.
That's what I mean. But we'll talk about them.
And then we've got,
you can't really play pointless because it's a little pointless card game box. Yeah, and then we've done the full board game on the show before. next. That's what I mean. But cards just playing cards and it's got the questions in like we asked a hundred people so basically they've put a pack of cards yeah well to the back oh there's
money yeah okay it's a shit game but I have got the official board game with
this again which is fun and has stands and has a nice Bruce's face on the
front and has Bruce's fucking beautiful face and I I buy anything with Bruce
Forsythe's face on I have a Bruce Forsythe what do they call it like a cock patch Bruce Forsythe
poultice Bruce poultice it's not that's not what poultice is meant for the
Forsythe poultice that's a cock piece poultice the Forsythe poultice it rests on your chin like this
like a chin poultice yeah chin poult. I've got nothing to chin poultice sounds reasonably funny
but I can't get there yet so let's not. Come on. Right it's time
I'll let you do this point. He's picked
Gribble grubble it would you like your pointy pointy gribble grubble
Yes thank you very much Mr Fiddlest. You gotta pull it out of his sweaty tongue.
Okay
There we go it's out.
Just shake some of this.
Smug off.
Biofilm.
Bioflob off.
Bioflob.
Nice.
That is bioflob.
I know, that was good.
I liked it.
So, let's just do it in the order.
Almost as good as when you said 90.
That was hilarious.
Thank you.
I will go for the order we do it,
and you just tell me I know
This is not looking good. I'm looking at something. It's
Yeah
This might be a painful finale, but let's find out the first thing we said was the chas and dave album
You said it was oh shit. You played the quids gambit and I said one pound fifty. How much was it?
Fuck how much?
Fuck you fucking ruined it mate. How have I was it? Oh fuck! How much? Fuck you fucking ruined it mate
How have I ruined it?
Because there's so much value you've destroyed by fucking shredding the cover
I've got another one which is in better condition
It doesn't matter you had two now you only have one
I have...
It was £3.99
Fucking hell
No betwings for either of us
Is it gonna be double doughnuts?
I have never seen that album anywhere near me go for any more than like a
quid. It was in good condition, brand new basically, the cover in particular.
Yeah but the one I've got is in brilliant condition and I got it for 50p at that plays up by Bifo's.
Well Kirstie and Bryn you got robbed. Yeah you got strung up like a... you see this is the thing you two,
you gotta play the game, you know you gotta think, you go just by indiscriminately, you gotta play the game. You know, you gotta think, you gotta just buy indiscriminately, you gotta play the game. And I think they, I think they foolishly spent
too much on that. Well, that was- And I gashed it up with a pen knife or whatever.
To surprise the both of us how much that was. So, no betweens for either of us there.
No betweens, sadly. Next item was the chicken timer. You said-
Chicken, chicken timer. Chicken, chicken timer. You said timer you said 175 and I played the kit quids gambit what's the price between between are you joking between between whoa is
that really all between the quids gambit well done you jazzy mcblase
jammie Dodger between between I'm doing what I'm good at the quiz gambit aren't I
you quids gambit the shit out of that! Yeah. Well done, Paul.
Well, you do, though, get a p-twing for being 175.
No, I don't.
Yeah.
Oh, no, you don't.
I'm 75p out.
God, your maths is terrible.
Oh, dear.
Anyway.
I'm eating really bad.
Storming through with four p-
Thank you.
I mean, I would.
I mean, I could have just taken it there.
I thought I was doing you a favour, then, but.
No, I'm not going to let that lax maths go.
Just to remind everyone, you do get a Pertwing if you're 25p either side of the actual price.
So I would have had to say £1.25 to get that Pertwing, not £1.75. Okay. Or I could have said 75p.
Did we do the Badger next?
I don't know, but I've got the Badger here if you want to talk about the Badger.
I can't remember what we placed. I can't remember which way round it went. Was it the badger
we did first and then the hearts?
Yes, the badger came after the timer, yes.
And then before those shitty little wooden hearts?
Yes.
Alright so it is the other way round then, badger.
The next one is the badger.
And then hearts.
Alright, okay so badger.
What did you say?
You said £2, I said one pound 75.
Pertwings all round.
I'll get two Pertwings because it was two pounds.
Hey!
And then I get one.
One for being in 25p, well done.
Wow, oh good.
We're good on the Badger.
Both of us good on the Badger.
Good on the Badger.
My mum said that when I was growing up.
You see, when you grow up, Paul,
you'll be good on the Badger.
You've got five Pertwings so far and I have two.
I've got six, because I've got four and then two.
Wow. Four and then one.
Oh yeah, one, one, one, sorry. One, one, one. No, sorry.
I have to fucking watch that guy.
Sorry, you're right, you're right.
He has difficulty with basic counting.
I apologize for that.
It's okay. Fine. But let's just keep an eye on that.
Hearts. Hearts. The wooden, wooden hearts.
I said...
The wooden heart ornaments. Yes. You said one pound fifty. I said 75 P
It was let me just see those weird dangly hope hearts, whatever it's called. Oh live love home signs
Yeah said what did sorry you said?
75 no, sorry. You said 150 I said 75 P fucking hell mate. Well one pound 50
This is competitive No, sorry, you said 150, I said 75p. Fucking hell, mate. What? £1.50. Hey!
This is competitive!
Fucking getting competitive now.
And I don't get nothing for that.
No, I'm only one per twing down.
One behind.
Even though you got the quids gambit.
I know, but still.
Come on, this is one of my best of all time.
It's a nice, thrilling one.
I hope you're listening at home or feeling thrilled too.
I got two on the noses and you got the quids gambit.
Yeah. Now, Paul, just a few guesses ago, I hope you're listening at home or feeling thrilled too. I got two on the noses and you got the quids gambit.
Yeah.
Now, Paul, just a few guesses ago,
we were expecting to get double donuts.
Double donuts.
We've both got multiple betweens on the board.
Sensible and healthy score.
And two items to go.
Right, so the next one is the key chain with the N on.
We both hated.
You said 75p, I said 90.
It was a pound. Ooh, so we both get a betweens. Yes. Yeah, I said 90. It was a pound.
Oh, so we both get a Pertwing?
Yes.
Yeah, there we go.
Nice, fuck me!
Six.
Fucking hell!
So now it comes down to the chair.
So we could have done the quids per gambit twice.
I guess, but the rule is you play it once.
Oh really?
Yeah.
So what, even if you guessed a quid for the next one, you wouldn't get the extra two Pertwings?
I think it just makes it easier, I think, if you just go... you can only sacrifice the
chance to say a pound once. Otherwise you could say nearly everything's a pound.
And just try and... yeah, you could.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
Yeah, and see if you could scrape up a bunch of betweens.
So it needs to be used carefully. Hence the gambit.
Even if two of the items are a quid, you can still only use it once.
Yeah, as long as you only get it once right. Doesn't matter.
Okay, that was also a quid, the key ring.
Right, so the chair.
And we both scored on it again.
The chair.
The chair.
The wooden, the ratatata chair.
You said five pound, I said four pound.
My god, Paul.
What?
You are getting two petwings.
Four pounds.
Really?
Yeah.
Hey!
Fucking, it's a petwing, absolute petwing festival.
In that case, we can wrap this up by saying at the end of this game of The Price of Shite,
Eli with a sturdy five Pertwings is just missing out on me with five, six, seven, eight, nine
Pertwings altogether.
No, no.
Yes, it is.
No.
Four and one.
Let's go through it quickly.
Let's go through your Pertwings quickly.
Oh no, no, it's eight.
It's eight altogether. Eight altogether.
It's because I read the line wrong.
Stop adding betwings that you don't earn, please.
Still beating though.
Yes you did, but I'd like to be beaten.
Still healthily beating.
I was what? On seven you were on eight?
I was on six.
You were on five and I was on eight.
Okay, three betwing.
Two betwing us. Five, six, three.
You're really struggling, man. One, two, three, you know, up to ten. Right.
Well done. Well done for your five between.
How many did you even get? You f***. Eight. Right. I got five.
