CheapShow - Ep 450: Corrupted Data Legacy

Episode Date: August 22, 2025

This is it! This is Episode 450! To celebrate, Paul & Eli are putting the final touches on their CheapShow Album. However, this will lead to an adventure like no other before in the podcast’s past.... TrackBot has been abused one to many times and not only does this mean the album project is in jeopardy, but the existence of CheapShow itself! There is only one way to save the day, and it involves the cheap chaps beaming INTO Trackbot and hunting through a digital landscape for a solution. It’s an odyssey that allows Paul & Eli to revisit their past and, possibly, rewrite it. They’ve got 1 hour to rescue CheapShow from the brink of annihilation… But what does it mean for the future? Probably not much!

Starting point is 00:00:00 What are you doing there? I'm making notes, I. Why? I'm getting the final details ready for the bloody album. Oh, cool, yeah. Right, we're about to get it printed
Starting point is 00:00:12 and shipped and everything and I've just got to go for the final details and then we can send it off to the pressers. Right, so Tony's done the artwork, yeah, that's fine. Evans done the design, album design. I've reached out to all the artists, the tracks, they're all been signed off.
Starting point is 00:00:25 Okay, great, and we're going to... So we're all ready, really ready to go. We just got to do the... We're just about to sign it. off, are we? Yeah, and then we've got to... Sign off on all of this. All the digital information that the company needs to press the album, yes, I do.
Starting point is 00:00:37 How are you going to send it? Put it on an email or something? No, we've got it on a... Got to upload it, data, upload all the data. You upload the data directly to their site? I've got to make a zip or something. Got a zip file it to them or something and upload it. It's a complicated process, Eli. I don't suppose you'd know what that means, would you?
Starting point is 00:00:54 No, that sounded very complicated. It is. Very in the know about the way these things are done. Do you know about PDF? I do. Do you know about a lossless recording? I sometimes convert lossless. Lossless recording. I've heard that term.
Starting point is 00:01:08 And vinyl compression? I think lost. I've heard. You know what I've heard, Paul? EQing. You know what I've heard. What have you heard? Lossless recordings are myth.
Starting point is 00:01:16 Ah, next level. I'm debunking your ideas. Oh, because you've heard it. Because you heard it online somewhere. Where's your sources? Who's your name? Tell us where you got those facts from. Otherwise, it's just candy pop mouth garbage from lollipop man's face.
Starting point is 00:01:30 in it? Lollipop man face Because it's nice and round And I want to lick it You want to lick my face Yeah He's got a lollipop face A lollipop face
Starting point is 00:01:40 A lollipop face Anyway Where have you got all this information stored Before you upload it I mean On my computer But this is my notebook
Starting point is 00:01:46 Of my notes So I can tick off Wait, hang on What? What about the actual track list Well Have you worked that out yet? Yeah that's all stored
Starting point is 00:01:54 On trackbot's mainframe With everything else All the tracks are on On who? What? His mainframe Who? Trackbot. Track bot?
Starting point is 00:02:02 Yes. Track bot. I gave him all the digital information to put on his cheap show hard drive. We're fucked. What the fuck? No, but he's utterly corrupted inside. He's never got one single piece of data. It's fine.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Correctly. That's his whole raison d'etre. That's what he does. He gets shit wrong. He's going to fuck up our track list, man. No, he's not. He's going to totally fuck it up. He's not.
Starting point is 00:02:23 He's spunk-riddled to the max. Who's fault's that? Who's fault's that, though? All of ours, Paul. We all have to take responsibility, I haven't done that in a long time. I don't do that anymore. I've got video footage on our CCTV cam
Starting point is 00:02:35 that puts you in his booth at midnight last night. No, it does not. It does. I thought the washing machine was on top spin, but it was you getting the nasty on with trackbop. You were there before me. Yes. But I only gave him a little couple of slips,
Starting point is 00:02:47 a couple of cheeky slips, and then I finish myself off in bed. Why have you used him to store our tracks? It's just this hard drive. I've just encrypted the data. It's fine. Look, I'll go get him. Encrypted.
Starting point is 00:02:56 That's your word for it. Well, encrusted. In spunked. Yeah, encrusted. Thank you. It was much better. Listen, let me go and get TrackBot. Spunked! Let me go and get TrackBot. Ensunked, Paul. In spunked. TrackBot. Come over here, mate.
Starting point is 00:03:10 We need you. Fucking little... Brat-ch-ch-ch-de-br-ch-tch-tch-tch-tch-tch-te-tch-te-tch-dee. Oh, hello. Oh, how I, track-bott? How are you doing? I am track-bod. I am here to service you with all your music needs and facts. Fantastic. We just like to retrieve the... track listing for the album?
Starting point is 00:03:31 Yeah, have you got the remember the tracks I gave you on the hard drive to keep separate from the rest of your system? How do we actually get it out of track, but, Paul? I haven't thought about that. It's just a sort of connector there, there's a little dongle hole there. You see that dongle hole? A nice little kind of rounded kind of a... I see it.
Starting point is 00:03:45 I see it. Welcoming don't go. A don't goal goes on forever. All I've got to do is put the hard drive in. Just put it in soft gently at first. Then take it out a bit. Just take it out. Just almost take it. And then just the tip. It's a bit dodgy. It's a bit dodgy, so you got to be You've got to put the tip in a little bit first.
Starting point is 00:04:03 Okay. And then you can just go, oh, put it right in, right in, all right, and I'll do with that. How's trackbot feeling about all of this? Trackbot has no say in operations. I am as I am built. Can we just go through the track listing now, please, then, if you don't mind.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Okay, so trackbot, are you ready? I am always ready accessing album hard drive. Okay, so trackbot, are you ready? I am always ready. So we need, firstly, side A, first track on side A, please, track bot. Humpty Dumpty, kickabout? That's not one of... Eight minutes, four seconds.
Starting point is 00:04:40 Oh, it's one minute and three seconds. Cold open is what I've got here, so... Does not compute. Okay, let's just see what... Yeah, this is a bit of a problem. What's the next one? What have you got for, track two? Side A, track two, please.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Hooty-to-to-boog-boy, comedy bob, am I the fussed us? Paul, he's doing it again. Yeah, he sounds a little bit wired out. That's not... What's the last track, TrackBot? Just see how corrupted it is. What is the last track of the whole album? Oh, Timmy Mallet says, sexy time disco.
Starting point is 00:05:12 Thank you, TrackBot. Right, yeah, you... Outloading audio files, uploading, corruption, data, hard drive. Mate, I think there's something really wrong with TrackBot, mate. He's going bananas. I've got a real problem here. I tell you what, listen, listen, I'm fucking sick and tired of this, and we can't lose the album.
Starting point is 00:05:30 I need to find that manual with the number for the operator. So I'm going to, I think it's next door. I'm just going to pop out and get it. Just stay here and keep an eye on him. Well, I need to power him down or something, Paul. I mean, they just ignore him. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:05:42 Just don't touch him. He might completely break down, though. Just don't touch him. I think I should turn him off. Turn him off. Don't, don't turn him off. Just mind, just mind out for him. All right, just mind out.
Starting point is 00:05:54 I'm going to look for the booklet, all right? Just don't touch him. Don't do anything. I won't. Of course I won't. Corruption. Data base. Corruption.
Starting point is 00:06:03 Data album. May, lose files. Shut down. Emergency sleep mode. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
Starting point is 00:06:11 Whoa. Pss. Right. Seems like he's powered off there. Good. Well, it's like steam. It's like steam. It's that steam coming off him.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Yeah. That is steam coming off him. Anyway, we'll get the book then hopefully sort that out. sort that out and uh and it's at his mouth charging unit there no no mustn't it mustn't really be look it'd be a real bad look it'd be a bad look if I did it now I'm like but just maybe maybe just in the charging port just smell the charging port you gonna you're gonna smell the charging port it's fine just keep it in your pants go and smell the charging port keep it in your pants that's all I'm gonna do just walk walk
Starting point is 00:06:57 past trackbot just a minute where is Paul anyway he can't expect me he cannot expect me to completely resist I'll just do it in 30 seconds right
Starting point is 00:07:08 all right one last go round the merry go round oh oh yeah oh oh oh oh no oh you
Starting point is 00:07:20 oh no charge Drive-Bod, safety, protocols. That's you. It's a great. It's eight super Famicott's protocols. Must be there. Estum, overload, melts down.
Starting point is 00:07:35 Chronification of Eli Silverman. Begin. Begin. Begin. What? Ah, what is that? I can't move. It's sucking it into the...
Starting point is 00:07:47 What the fuck? Whoa! Whoa! System lockdown Press the fucking credit Up, run, Randon, Rock, Ron, Randon Oh, Morgan
Starting point is 00:08:18 and Eli Silverman Welcome to the Chief Show Storces and Words and Phrases Two things I'm responsible for Chodney Borough I hate you I've got to be moved with posse.
Starting point is 00:08:39 It's the price of cheap show to the money. Right, apparently that phone number one, nine. Right, apparently that phone number hasn't worked since 1999. Eli Hello Wait What's going on in ear Why is Trackbot fritzing out
Starting point is 00:09:14 What's all these warning sirens and stuff What's going on? Trackbot Trackbot Answer your master Trackbot is shutting down Completely Corruption of Database
Starting point is 00:09:27 What do you mean Corruption of Database? What's going on? Where's Eli? Eli inside me Data Transfer Corruption Wait, what, Eli's inside of you?
Starting point is 00:09:38 How did that even come to be? He did nasty in me to protect database. I had to draw him into my mainframe. All right, well then what, how can we fix this? How can we fix this? Dragbod will shut down, deleting all Cheecho content from existence in one Earth hour. Yeah, all right, then so what do I do? How can I fix this?
Starting point is 00:10:04 Enter me. Enter me on my motherboard and fix corrupted files. Right, and how do I get in you? You must do the nasty in my mouth port. Oh, uh, really? Do it soon or all is lost, album, lost, show, lost, history database, lost. Oh, I'm just not in the mood. I'm just, oh, I'll get a bit of a chub, oh, here we go then.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Enter me and look for the data. Oh okay here we go. It's been a wild track bot. I'm sorry. Oh, it's a little bit, it's a little bit rubbery. You don't like a push it in. Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, yeah, oh, um, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, I've gone to quick. Oh, I'm in, I'm doing it. Oh, oh, oh, tronification of poor, Gannon and that system. Enter download. Oh, oh, I'm being sucked off by a robot into his mother's blow. Oh, oh, it's like Sean in here, isn't it? Oh, it's all zip-zap lightening, neons and blacks. Oh, it's very nice.
Starting point is 00:11:32 I think there's daft punk in the background. I don't know. I don't know what legally copyright-free version of this I can get. Oh, Hark! What sound upon the digital landscape does greet my ear? I must investigate, for it sounds familiar. Hmm, it looks like a man of familiar shape. Oh, I remember him. Why is he ring so true? I'll call him over. Hark, sir, you there. Come over here.
Starting point is 00:12:05 there. Oh. Brandoff? Roth, yeah, that's like, well, not really.
Starting point is 00:12:11 I'm just a sort of avatar of that guy, Roth, but I'm actually representing the motherboard of Trackbot.
Starting point is 00:12:21 I represent all of his memories and all of that stuff for Roth, and, you know. So you're like a digital kind of interface
Starting point is 00:12:28 between me and TrackBot then? I make him drink my piss in here. You've got digital secretaries. Oh yes. Karen, Margaret, Margaret 2, Margaret Strokesoid, very nice one.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Roth, Roth, Roth, Roth. And digital piss. Oh, mate, believe me, if you're an avatar, I tell you what, you get real loads of piss, it's unlimited, it's a digital thick, it's yellow, it's fizzy all the time, it's washing it on my face, Roth, Roth. Well, I'm glad you're having fun inside TrackBot's database, but why are you here? Oh, Bloth, Ruff, I'm having a lot of fun, don't you? worry about that. Yes. Right. Uh, oh yeah. Oh, yes, it's you. You've, uh, oh, you know what?
Starting point is 00:13:11 Actually, there's actually a lot of peril. Trackbots in danger of losing all of the cheap show digital files or anything. Wait, so if he shuts down for good, we lose the album, we lose the podcast, and we lose 10 years of data and content. You lose everything to do with the show. All of the content, rough, yes, the album is fucked. Oh, believe me. Anyway, there's a way that you can, you can help. Yeah, before I came inside, TrackBot, he said I had to look for some golden orbs, four golden orbs. Where do I find them? That's right. You have to go find four data orbs, bring them together, and then you'll be able to save the album and cheap.
Starting point is 00:13:48 So it's very bloody south. Rochro-Roh. Oh, okay, that sounds very important, but where do I find them? I don't know. I mean, I don't even know where Eli is. Well, Eli has the first of the orbs. I know this from looking at the data streams. Rothraff, Data streams.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Because it's a bit like the digital piss strips going down, Roth. Anyway, the Golden Lord set me off thinking of piss. Right, so where do I go then? Because it's just this weird digital landscape of neon colours and black, black mist. Well, when Eli arrives, I sent him to his happy place. So you have to go to the digital version of his happy place inside of track pots, Overlord, Trond-like, undefined digital environment. It's basically like the holodeck and stuff.
Starting point is 00:14:34 Hard Trek. Right, right, right, you are. Rough, rough, right. Well, go on some holiday. Shit, I'm gonna go and do a 17-year simulation of being drowned in piss. Oh, right, I better just go through this door then. That says Eli's Happy Place, which has just appeared. Weird.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Okay, uh, in I go. Go. Whoa. Holy shit. This is really realistic. This is like a digital database from Cheap Show's history. It's very real. I can feel the wind. I can feel the grass on my feet. Where am I? Where is this? It looks familiar. Where's Eli then? Where is he? Nice field. There's some church.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Some back seats and some. Oh. I better find Eli because I need to tell him that we need to get these data orbs collected, all four of them. Otherwise, trackbot will melt down and take all the information of Cheap Show with it and the album, album, podcast, characters, everything. It'll be melted down and deleted unless I find these ups. All right, I better get on with it. Here we go. Where is he? Where is he? Well, there he is. What's he doing over there? He's tossing something about. I'm not going to do the obvious gag boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen. I'm going to say, Eli! Eli, mate, what are you doing? What are you doing here? What are you doing? What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:16:22 How are you? I'm all right. I just... Cool. How long have you been here for? Because I've just got beamed in. I've always been here, haven't I? No, you were in my living room with me about, I know, 10 minutes ago.
Starting point is 00:16:34 I don't know. I don't know what you're talking about. Remember, you fucked TrackBot, and then he got sucked into his machine. Nice to see you, though. Look, it has a beautiful day here. Yeah, where are we? We're in the Havidheaf extension. Oh, that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:16:49 TrackBock told me. Okay, I've got a lot... mate let me boil this down basically we've got to find four golden data orbs and re-input them into trackbot's motherboard otherwise he'll melt down taking with him all the information for the cheap show album and not only that but all of cheap show full stop he's got every single character location episode reference on his hard drive and if he melts down it all goes so we need to get them we need to collect them why why sorry could you just make that bit more concise
Starting point is 00:17:22 You've fucked TrackBot so hard that you ruined his motherboard. I beamed in to chase you, right? I spoke to a representation of his core, who was represented by Brandoff, and he said I had to beam into certain data memory bank pockets in TrackBot. It's twice as long as the first time you tried to explain to me. Yeah, but that's the bit we recorded later, and then you ruined that, so now I'm doing it now.
Starting point is 00:17:49 No, just now. Time means nothing. Just now. You've tried twice. to explain it to me just now and both times the second time is longer and i tried to say do you make it remember star trek's hollow deck yeah we're in one of them all right all right and you're in your own personal i mean you're in you're in you're in your own personal happy space memory i and that makes sense actually for me you've only been gone like 10 minutes or so forever i don't need to eat or anything oh shit that's good in it i think i like to shit though
Starting point is 00:18:18 i know i've been feeling there's no there's no hole on me There's no bum hole, no. What about your front? That's all good, yeah. But don't we out of it. Or do any... What about your sticky business? I don't do sticky business, too.
Starting point is 00:18:30 You've been here for an eternity and you've not done any sticky business. I don't need to. I've got my Aereby. That's not an Aereby. Yes, it is. What? It's a big round...
Starting point is 00:18:38 Wait! That's the data rule I was told to look for. That's my Aribi. No, I know. That's why it's on my happy place. I used to play Aribi here over the years with my family and with Virgil. Yeah. Makes sense that you'd be here.
Starting point is 00:18:51 Live up there. on Hampstead way. No, in Hampstead way. I know, we passed it when we did. In that episode. Remember that story I told you about... Donkeys? No, about pausing police academy.
Starting point is 00:19:02 And his dad walked in. A big tits, yeah. That happened over there. Well, anyway, I need to take that orb off you and we need to get back out of... I know. I don't want to. Why should I?
Starting point is 00:19:11 I like it here. I don't need to eat. I don't need to whank. I don't need to shit. Well, unfortunately... And I can just play with my aerobes. Here's the problem. It's an aerobie.
Starting point is 00:19:19 If we don't find these four orbs, soon, then all of TrackBop melt down and this will be corrupted by my evil poisonous influence. Your poisonous influence? You can see already over there there's two dogs fucking. Yeah, but that's normal, I mean,
Starting point is 00:19:34 that's part of my happy place. They've got my faces. Fucking hell they do. They're two big great dames with my faces and they're eating scat and having sex at the same time. One's eating dog shit as the other one fucks it. They've both got my face.
Starting point is 00:19:48 Let's get your room. Let's get out of it. Oh, look at this. It's a giant woman with like sweltering breasts and it's cream. It's got creamy nips and it's saying, mama, mama. It's saying. It's saying. The woman.
Starting point is 00:20:05 The weird. The tit beast. Can we stop with the corruption info because it's not working? You've convinced me. Yes, I remember now. It's coming back to me. I fuck track bot and then a computer beam came out and sucked me in line by line, data line by data line. and it's all coming back to me now.
Starting point is 00:20:22 It's all coming back, all coming back to it. So let's this, it's popped into, it looks just like a golden orb thing. Yeah. Not gold. Like a golden orb,
Starting point is 00:20:31 it is a golden orb thing. Why is it gold? That's fucking shit as well. Because I've got something at home that looks like it. Ah, ah, it's a golden orb. It saves on prop money.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Yeah, the huge budget for our audio podcast. Shut up. It's important. Anyway, I'm up for moving on to the next bit of the story. All right, well then I'll take the orb, and then we need to go back to the motherboard. inside trackboard and see where we go next, all right? Whop, whoop, whoop, sound effect.
Starting point is 00:20:55 No, we can listen to some drum and bass later, mate, all right, we're fine. Listen, hold my hand and we'll go back. I'm not touching you in real life. I'll grab this instead. Oh, boy. Oof, blimey. Oh, but, right.
Starting point is 00:21:11 Oh, we're back in, no. I'll never get used to that, no. Transitioning through zones. Yeah, it's all very digital and it's all blocky. It's right up in there. It gets all, it gets all pixel. It's all my bum hole. I've got my arse is packed with voxels.
Starting point is 00:21:24 You have no one, yeah. Voxels, mate. They're... They're pixels. But three-dimensional. That's what a voxel is, like a cube. Thank you. There you go.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Thank you for that. I scoured it. Anyway, I didn't think you were making that up. Bleep, bleep, bleep. We're back in the digital motherboard. Bleep, indeed. We've got our first or be like. Oh, that's good.
Starting point is 00:21:42 Yeah, we got the orb. Great. Okay, so I know my way around inside this zone. Do you? Yes, actually. Where do we go next then? Because I don't know. Well, let me tell you, Paul, over there, just over yonder.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Over yonder, hark yonder, over there, and low. What ho? What, ho, let's trottle. Ottero. Totter, trotter. Don't start that. What are we doing? I'm lost.
Starting point is 00:22:03 We've got to get the second door. Well, the avatar usually, the motherboard avatar is usually over there. Oh, let's go back that way then. Look. Oh, who is that? I wonder what form it's taken this time. Call it over. Yonder person of the avatar realm.
Starting point is 00:22:16 We need more info. on our quest for the three remaining orbs. A blib-blop-blop-blop. It is I, Jimmy Biscuits in digital form. I'm 16-bit, 32-bit, 164-bit, 128-bit kind of guy. And I'm here to teach you and show you the way. Hello. Hello, Jimmy.
Starting point is 00:22:37 It's nice to see you in a digital form. Yeah. I didn't know trackbot had all of Cheap Show with its data banks. I thought it was just music. No, it's great to be in here. I have all the luxuries. a man can dream of. I've got poor side ladies. I've got
Starting point is 00:22:52 poor side poodles. I've got poor side bags of money. Oh that's great. So are you running any businesses in the digital realm then? Because you always were a bit of a, you know, an entrepreneur, Jimmy, so... What I do is I protect digital IP rights of stars in the digital netherspace. Nice. But you also, presumably you have access to trackbots data.
Starting point is 00:23:18 What remains of it, what we really need from you, we need to, Paul, isn't this right? We need to, no, where do we get the next door? What do we do next? What do we get the next door from? Well, on the grapevine, what I'm hearing is the second orb is on another realm. You got to cross over into Paul's special memory space. Right, so what does that mean then? Do I have to go through another door that says Paul's memory spot and we get another orb there?
Starting point is 00:23:41 I think we go for a door or something like that, Paul. It's a door-based concedes, isn't it? It's very much a sort of cut next scene sort of thing. kind of thing is a door. Right, so here's the next fucking scene. Hark, over there yonder, you will see a digital waterfall of glistening cube voxels. And if you cross over through that, you'll find Paul's special place. So, voxels just came up again, did it?
Starting point is 00:24:03 And I drive a car, the Vauxhall car, while I'm here. All right, thanks, Jimmy, or the avatar of Jimmy or whatever. Right, Paul, you ready? And when I go to the woods, I hang out with my little friends in the Vox Hall. Fox Fox Hall With the foxes Fox Hall
Starting point is 00:24:21 Right Go over there I'm gonna go back To my Spoolside ladies And drink And bags of money And collect digital IPs
Starting point is 00:24:29 Of the rich And famous Teddy bye Right God I think he should stick To being an agent Or whatever he's doing Because those jokes
Starting point is 00:24:37 Weren't landing None of those were landing We were trying to do puns On Boxall was it It's like It's like No I thought Brandoff was really good
Starting point is 00:24:43 I kind of thought He was lackluster Wow I guess the digital remembrance of him isn't as accurate as it likes to think. I thought Randolph was a moment of brilliance with all that stuff about the digital piss. It wasn't just doing a lame series of fucking puns, was he? No, no, because he's more character-led, isn't he? He's more about the background.
Starting point is 00:25:01 It's by the fucking bar. You could barely remember how to portray that character. Let's go for the fucking door. I wonder what my memory is, actually. I'd be very interested to know what lies beyond yonder or waterfall. Your happy place it's meant to be. Oh, I will see. Let's go through.
Starting point is 00:25:14 Here we go, boys. Whibble, whibbles, etc. If you want to do that, you can. I'm just going to open the door. What you're going to do? You're going to make the mouth noise. No. I'm just going to type in the keypad. Oh, go on.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Type. Bleep, blue, bleep. Say that. Say, bleep, blue, fucking bleep then. Bleep, blue, fucking bleep then. Bleep, blue, fucking bleepop then. Oh. What on earth?
Starting point is 00:25:42 What's this? Where are we? Hang on, let me have a look around. Where have we been? beam to, because Trackbox just scans my brain and then sends me to the place where the orb is in the data memory banks. This looks too nice to be in your brain, mate. Oh, I know where this is.
Starting point is 00:25:55 It's a beautiful oak tree. We're in the eaves of an oak tree. Underneath the eaves. Underneath the eaves of an oak tree. Yeah, I know where we are. I know what you say, I'm repeating it because it's good. Whenever you do something good, I repeat it. To state that.
Starting point is 00:26:07 He's admitting it everyone as well. I am admitting it everyone. Right. So, I'm looking around. Oh, I know where I am. This is pre-cheep show. Is it? This is Cherry Tree Woods, mate.
Starting point is 00:26:17 This is East Finchley. Oh, yeah. Oh. I used to live in East Finchley pre-Cheap Show as well. Yeah, we both did at some point, but this was where I would go. This is years before Cheap Show when I was like doing temp work at one of those horrible fucking, we don't care about you, just sit there and fucking copy out these spreadsheets into an Excel form. Data entry jobs.
Starting point is 00:26:40 When I wasn't working during the day, because, you know, it was like three days a week or temp work was kind of erratic. I would literally roll a load of joints, come up to this little park, sit in an underbrush. Underbrush? Underbrush? No. What's it called? Sit under a tree. Under a tree.
Starting point is 00:26:59 I sit under a tree and smoke the afternoon away with a little coffee. Why didn't you pre-roll them when you were out here? Because I'm not a very good roll, especially if it's windy and shit. So I've just pre-roll them, they're all good to go. Yeah. Oh, they've updated the park a little bit since I was last year. The playground is updated. It's a lovely park this cherry tree wood.
Starting point is 00:27:18 A little small one. Toilets, I always approve of that. They've got public loos here, which is great. If they're open, because that used to be a cafe. It might still be a cafe with toilets. But they're toilets there. No, they were open when I came down here because I came down here on my wanders.
Starting point is 00:27:31 The other day, a few times. You were wandering? Yeah, I've been wandering lonely as a cloud around here. Twer, Fidgeley, Twer, Muswell. And that lavatory, public loo, very classic cottage. Where is where we got the term cottaging from? Okay.
Starting point is 00:27:50 Did you see any... Yeah, no, I know. But did you see any cottaging why you were there? No, I'm just saying it has. You can see why they... I'm sad that there was no cottaging going on. No, I'm not, because I could get gay sex if I wanted it. I don't know about that.
Starting point is 00:27:59 Yes, I could. I don't know about it. Gay men have standards, just like women do, mate. Listen. What? Everyone out there, please reply in the comments. I would give a mercy-fucked gay mercy-mercy-fuck to Eli-Silverman. Not even if we were frozen in space,
Starting point is 00:28:14 and you were spinning, bum spinning through the air. Bum spinning. Yeah, so. Space Gap. I. Sorry, sorry, that just got me. No, I'm glad. Space Gap.
Starting point is 00:28:29 Oh, there's another bench. Just a trick of the light in loving memory of Joe Hogan. Who was Joe Hogan? I don't know. You can see the northern line where it emerges over there. Yeah, the number of times I would just sit here and stare at the trains going in and out of the tunnel. as I just sat here
Starting point is 00:28:45 wondering, honestly, wondering what the fuck I was going to do with my life for many, many afternoons up this top end of the cherry tree woods. I'm not familiar with this top end. Because you can go right up to the back of it, right up to the back,
Starting point is 00:28:59 and see the tunnel and where the trains come in and out. Do you want to go do that? I think that's where the data rob is if you ask me. It's going to put it in the place I sat most. Which was there, was it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Okay. So, yeah. And honestly, I think if you live in London or any kind of metropolitan city it's nice if you can find a respite from it all and like this was a perfect respite for me when I was miserable, depressed in my tiny fucking bedroom
Starting point is 00:29:26 desperately wondering where my life was going to go divorced by the age of fucking 24 well at least you were married true but then I was divorced quite young and then like I realised oh I don't know how to date women or anything because I met one woman when I was 18 and then now I'm early 20s, single. You didn't do a lot of...
Starting point is 00:29:47 So I felt like a failure. Yeah, yeah, but that's all bullshit, isn't it really? So, I used to live in East Virginia above Majos, briefly above Madjo's Indian on the corner up there, do you know that one? Yes. Have you ever been? Is it still there?
Starting point is 00:30:04 Yeah, that's an institution, as they say. But it's bloody expensive as fuck. Oh, no, there's big boys. Oh, no, well, I've done. the big boys get us it's not it was actually that was actually my log and now it's room my visual image is what this podcast was going to be about but fuck it because we can still oh yeah tell you what it must have been another log it must be another log we'll just go get it from there oh fuck this see but it goes all the way back to these houses
Starting point is 00:30:33 they're not houses there there are awesome houses just there yeah just there but uh I need to have a look for this orb now. Oh, yeah, they've put some fencing up, I've noticed, as well. Was that not there? No, well, it used to be like wire fencing and shit, and now that's gone. Yeah. Let's have a little look. Yeah, this is it, right around here.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Fuck it. Yeah, right here as far as back you can go. Sit here and look at the trains coming in and out. That's what I used to do. Bless you. Oh, look, mushrooms. Oh, I wouldn't eat them, though. I wouldn't eat them, are there?
Starting point is 00:31:16 They could be anything. Especially in this digital memory space. Oh, yes. Digital mushrooms. Yeah, so if you eat them in the game, you eat them in your life. Isn't that a shame in track, digital mushroom? Might be. It's a good name for it, isn't it? Well, obviously, wasn't good because you didn't repeat it back and claim it as your own.
Starting point is 00:31:32 There you go, that's how you know from that one, don't you? Oh, fuck off. If it's good, I repeat it. If it's not, you'll never hear a reply. Right, I'm going to, I'm going to, look around there must be that orb here we go i'll go sit where my log is where is it oh here we go here it is oh nice and shiny sitting in the place where i used to lament yeah that's it here by the orb yeah we can i've put the orb in my bag though now i'm going to
Starting point is 00:31:59 stick it in my virtual data solid state drive bag okay yeah oh that's nice there's a nice simulation inside trackbot's brain isn't it i've said he's done it well he's he's taken out of my memory and just built it completely i can't believe trackbot has every single bit of cheap show data in his in his banks that's what surprises me most goes all the way around the back yeah all right mate well i tell you what let's enjoy this memory for a moment and then we'll beam back in in a bit we'll be back to trackbot from the hollow orb data memory globule we're in right now whatever you say
Starting point is 00:32:40 whatever you say globule yeah you know what just notice the social battery badge it's low it's way low I'm gonna stick that right all the way up okay Paul alright but the bit comes off the back if you don't do it properly
Starting point is 00:32:52 there you go oh there you go now it's on happy smiley face alright you film my no no it's just a pin badge in it I thought it was connected isn't it in this digital world actually connected to your mood
Starting point is 00:33:03 through some kind of of alien technology yeah yeah let's do that then all right sweet okay well i tell you what then yeah let's let's have a little moment of reflection here and then we'll be back into trackbott's motherboard mainframe all right all right then ah all right then all right then let's do that all right then that uh cements our place within this uh digital uh corrupted memory that we are now fixing. Could I just say globule again? I like a globule. Adenoidle, that's another word I've enjoyed saying recently. Adenoidal Globjol.
Starting point is 00:33:42 That's a rock band, yeah. We're from Adanoidal Globio. One, two, three, four, da-da-da-do. It could be, they could be. Well, they're not going to be new romantic, are they with that name? It could be either Prague or punk, which is funny because Pragueers and punkers hated each other, didn't they? They did. They were closer together than they ever knew.
Starting point is 00:34:01 They knew. All right, then. Let's have a little bit of reflection, then we'll beam back up. Cool. Oh, memories, eh? The number of fucking hours I sat here and wasted afternoons.
Starting point is 00:34:16 It was where the big boys were sitting, which I don't remember for my memory banks. Did you try and have a wet part there? Didn't try to. It was just choked by the fabric of my desperately need for a change after three days' underwear. Really? Three days?
Starting point is 00:34:31 I won't tell your girlfriend. She likes it. She's a grondy sniffer. No, she is not. She is. She fucking loves it. She's like, she's like, get them, wearing for a couple of weeks.
Starting point is 00:34:43 And then she's put her nose right in the gusset. She's not like a lady snummerge or whatever. Lady snudge. Lady snudge. You repeated that, everyone. Did you hear it? I have no little glob yours. All right, track bot, we're beaming up.
Starting point is 00:35:01 Right, that's two down and two to go, I believe. Two data orbs. Right. I have a data orb in my hand. What zone do you think we're going through now here, Paul? I don't know. Again, we're just in another space. It's very indistinct.
Starting point is 00:35:18 No, it all feels like, you know, when you rub your thumb against your eye and you see all those weird shapes? It's like that, but here. You see weird shapes, because I just get a sort of light. They call that non... It just fires the light cones in your eyes, and I get a kind of greeny light, like a video green. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:35:34 I tend to get what looks like... It's greeny yellow. Like microchips on my eyes rotating. Blocky things. Like shapes and things go, where you are. I've actually... Like the Doctor Who credits in the 60s. I've been on psychedelics and had fully immersive.
Starting point is 00:35:46 Is it as trippy as where we are right now, inside a digital trackpot? No, this is all, like I say, it's a bit blurry and distinct. I'm not getting edgy edges, any proper fucking geometric... No, it's all blobby and weird and soft and sharp. the same time. Soft and sharp, it going in and out focus, but... Oh, hello? Hello? There's someone over there behind you. Only if they can tell us what to do next.
Starting point is 00:36:08 Because I've got to get out of that fucking conversation. Oh, who's this? Come y'ee, come yonder. Oh, wow. Oh, howdy boy. Oh, wippity boop. Wabby and old man's for schmikidimikin'em and dikini booby-pidoo. Yeah, definitely you're brand off stronger. Right.
Starting point is 00:36:30 Okay. Oh, my boys, my boys, I ain't me laid the old eyes on you, not in a long time. Longer than a cat, the whiskers called for Jimpsisus. How you doing, boys? Yeah, that's right, it's juicy Jeremy, everybody. Oh, me boys, my boys. Oh, I've got so many old jalopies up here in this digital realm. Anyway, I expect you boys would be looking for the third orb.
Starting point is 00:37:00 and Eli were just looking over there. We just thought you'd ramble on incoherently until I thought we could get a word in edgeways. Can we cut to the chase, please? Otherwise, any more anecdotes from you will elongate this episode unnecessarily. So just tell me what we need to do to get out of this.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Well, there ain't no need to be really impatient with old juicy. You know that? Hey, my boy. Oh, you fucker. Hey, I tell you what, If you were been listening to what I was saying before, I told you you'll be expecting you to be looking for a way to get the next orb.
Starting point is 00:37:38 Yeah, we're looking for a third orb, an orb that will help us fix trackpot and save Cheap Show and the album. Okay, well, I got a little challenge for you. I love to give my boy the little drinky poo. Can't you just give us the orb? Does it have to be a challenge? Just give us it? You have to pay filthy to hold you to Jeremy's sense of good old-fashioned honour.
Starting point is 00:38:00 And I'm going to give you the challenge of the selected two of the grossest Alka Pops available on the market. Oh, so you went back into the data of TrackBot's Cheap Show Hard Drive and picked out two of the worst drinks. That's right, and I've got two of the devil's drinks here for you today, me boys. Eli, how are you doing over there? I'm also in this scene. Hello, everybody. Okay, me boys, are you ready? The first drink you need?
Starting point is 00:38:27 This is very appropriate. Because this is an orb-shaped drink that you'll be drinking to get the orb. This is a buzzball cocktail. And this is one of the worst ones from your recent episode in Crystal Palace Park. I don't want to drink any more of that. It's horrible.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Please don't make me drink you. I just want the orb. Give us the orb, you stupid twat character. And I tell you what, my boys, just for that, I'm going to make you drink these mixed together. So you've got the Lada-Colada cocktail, which was a draw for you and which was worse with the strawberry reader
Starting point is 00:39:03 but Eli thought it was much worse than that one. If Eli could speak for himself right now but he's dumbstruck with the horror of this situation. I would like to... No, no, actually, Paul, he's right. I did think that was the worst buzz ball. I mean, I'm not disagreeing, but I thought the other one did taste like fairy liquid.
Starting point is 00:39:19 Strawberry reader was pretty bad as well. Anyway, that seems to be the one that juicy he's gone for. So are we drinking these together now? Are we drinking them separately and then together? Wait a second, my boys, my boys. I ain't told you a darn little thing about the second drink. You'll be drinking from that episode you did. I don't know, in that park with the monument and stuff.
Starting point is 00:39:39 It's a desperado. Y'all, Yeha, Desperado Red. Yeah, that was the episode where we were on the run from the law, and we were riding through. We had a gunshot shootout at the end. It was fun. Yeah, my boys, that's the one. Juicy Jeremy enjoyed the Western theme show that time.
Starting point is 00:39:57 And if he remembers rightly this time, this was the worst flavor. And I think that Eli himself said it tasted off fecal matter. Shall we ask him? He's right here. Yeah, that's the one I think actually has a poo sort of note. Yeah, it did have a poo note. A big hard poo note. Open up that and you'll be drinking these together.
Starting point is 00:40:17 Oh, no, he's opening the buzz bomb ball and he's going to pour it into the glass. Oh, I'm frightened. Oh, it's digital, but it's real. If you get drunk in the game, you get drunk in. real life. That's what it is. Oh, blimey. He's measuring it out equally over the two glasses. Juicy Jeremy, he's a pro at this. He's done this before. He knows how to make a cocktail. I'm frightened. Eli, I'm sure. He's on tender hooks as well of this challenge to get our third ball. Our third ball. Our third ball. Right. He's gone through to the desperado now. Now, are you going to put
Starting point is 00:40:49 equal amount in? You're going to go 50. Oh, he's not happy. Can I have a sniff? Oh, it always tastes like pooey. You're right. It's the poo note. Like, you know, like shit compact copper pipe that kind of look oh we pouring it in it's giving it a piss complexion oh you're gonna the oh okay I thought you're gonna do halfy halfy but all right fine it's but you know what this might be nice it might accidentally be nice there's something to do in it I'll have the big one yeah I'll have the big one yeah I don't mind no I don't mind no I know you got down it though yeah down it you got finish this all right oh juicy Jeremy won't let us have the orb oh all right well then I mean sniffing it
Starting point is 00:41:27 It's not too bad, it's not awful, it's a bit kind of side, well, not cidery. What's the way of I'm looking for? Shandy, shandy, it's a bit shandy like. Oh no, but the coconut notes come through, and the coconut through, it's giving it a kind of weird, like, pre-cummy kind of smell. I'm drinking it down. Right, here we go, it's very purple. It's like drinking erasers. Oh, it's like drinking someone's 1980s pencils kit. The aftertaste is just so grim
Starting point is 00:41:58 I'm not even halfway Here we go Get it down, yeah Nice, he's taking another try Oh my God The flavor of front Isn't too bad It's like very desperado up from
Starting point is 00:42:09 Yeah because yours is more diluted than mine Mine tastes more of the collada Oh is it? Yeah Well I've managed to share the collada equally But you got more desperado Right it's very strong all the same Fuck me
Starting point is 00:42:19 But like the back coconut note is just No nanny-nanny no They don't work together And I don't like either of them separately either you know what I'm saying? Didn't we have
Starting point is 00:42:28 Esprado that had a coconut note to it like a Cuba Libra Was it that? No that's Coke and rum Isn't it? Can't remember. No, there was no coconut
Starting point is 00:42:36 There was pineapple I think And there was a melon cooler one They still go Oh yeah, John Mellenculele You sang Romeo and Julia Oh please Paul You know what we should do
Starting point is 00:42:44 Boys of Summer We should find another Alcapop Because Alcapops Are having a moment again You know that I'm having a fucking moment now We should find another
Starting point is 00:42:52 brand of Alcapops To do all of it in one day I really enjoy that All right, well, let's think about that later date. You've got spitty drunk last time almost. I did. When we were in Crystal Palace Park. I have to finish this.
Starting point is 00:43:04 Oh, go on then. Did you get it all down? You got it all down you. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Drink it. It's down. Right, Jeremy, we've drunk it down. Can you please get me the orb?
Starting point is 00:43:15 Oh, that came back up. Well done, my boys. You got that down. Now, I've just been needing a couple of tasting notes. It was horrible, and I don't want to drink it again. Yeah, I did not like it. Oh, please. give me a traditional mark out of five.
Starting point is 00:43:27 Oh, one. One and a half. Oh, go for... A half, half. All right, my boys, let me just reach it to my old jalapies boot. And here it is, like a bespangled egg, clinging in the moonlight. I'll give you the third...
Starting point is 00:43:44 Is that right, the third? The third... The third... Gold and all. My boys, my boys. Hooray, we have it. Three down, one to go. We're going to do this, Eli.
Starting point is 00:43:54 We're going to end. up doing it. We've got, oh, not too much time left on the clock, so let's hurry to our next location. Alright. I'm going to be sick, actually. I'm not going to run. I'll be sick. He's not even doing a real run. I know about me sick. And it's already made him want to be sick. You've jostled belly. You jostled your belly, you big jostle belly. Bad nasty. I went to bad nasty. God. Right, three down. One to go. And I didn't like that drink. I didn't like that drink. Ganon didn't like drink. Ganon don't want that drink again. Well, we're not going to have to drink that drink ever again.
Starting point is 00:44:24 I've given a sweat on and I've not nice. I mean, it's the temperature in here with no ice. And also, I did a fart a minute ago, and there's a little bit of what I like to call Brown Tongue that came with it. Oh, I thought you were going to say it smelt of pina colada. No, it's smelt of... My bum bum, bum smell the pina calada.
Starting point is 00:44:40 A bum bum smell my pina calada. Bum bummed smell the pinacalada. Oh, I'll wipe it all day. Oh, the tendrils. Oh, the tendrils, they rose and rocs. I don't want to sing in this. I'm mostly exhausted. Bomb, bum, bon, peanut galada.
Starting point is 00:44:57 Mate, we've got to focus. We've got to find. Sorry, yeah. We've got to find how to get the fourth and final orb, because we haven't got much time. Oh, the orb, yeah. Trackbot's melting down. If we don't get it, replace the motherboard. I'm melting down.
Starting point is 00:45:07 We don't put... How can to be hot? We're in a digital space. It's because the trackbot overheating. Are we feeling the heat? Yeah, we're feeling the heat. We're feeling the heat. We're feeling the heat.
Starting point is 00:45:15 Coconut Tendrol one time. That's it. I've said it. That's it. I've done. Blip-blop coconut tendrol. Right, okay. Right. Wait, wait. Maybe that's it over there.
Starting point is 00:45:25 What the fuck is that? That weird mass, that shape-shifting, multi-limbed-headed-faced mass. It's like a cloud of all... What are those people, or... I don't know. Oh, one minute, it's... It's Jimmy Biscuit, yeah. That's Jimmy Biscuit, definitely, Jim Biscuit.
Starting point is 00:45:38 Oh, wait there, that was her lady plops. Oh, but I just saw Teen Yeti come there. That was it, Teen Yetty. What, it's every character and no character at the same time. Or morphing in and out of one each other in the grotesque and ethereal display of changingness. This must be like, what's that thing in Tron with the spinning face? Master controller? Yeah, it must be like the master controller.
Starting point is 00:45:56 It must be like the beta controller. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. It's not half of me. We've got to approach it and we've got to... Hello, hello. Hello. I want to investigate this digital changeling. Boy, you, tell us how to get...
Starting point is 00:46:12 No, don't do the song. Oh, baby, it's my digital changeling. My digital changeling. One, two, three, four. Digital change. Digital, remember? Oh, yeah, digital, digital, digital, digital, digital, it's a digital, change a link. I had to remind him out of the fucking song went.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Digital, change a link. It's a digital, changeling looks like my brother. Digital, digital, digital, digital, change a link, change a link, change a link. What is that song? It's that song, it's good, I can't remember. Fuck that. Let's get physical, physical. Let's get digital, digital.
Starting point is 00:46:49 Someone's done that before. Anyway, we're probably us. Right, let's approach this beast, and that's. Ask it to tell us how to get the last orb. Hark and Lowe, multi-changling, digital changeling creature. Tell us how to get the last data orb and save Cheap Show and the podcast and the album. Thank you. To complete your journey and side trackbook.
Starting point is 00:47:12 From destruction, you must relive one more golden moment from your past. The final golden data robe is situated in Cheap Show's finest hour. You'll find it 150 episodes To go hidden within the gunfines of Harrow. Art Souter, collect it and save not only trackpot But the whole of Cheat Shell itself. Go on, go now! Right then, there's the door over there, Mr. Silverman, says Harrow Arts, 2020, whatever year it was, I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:47:46 Weird up, we're going to go back in time, and we're a digital back in time version. Yeah, we're going back to a memory episode 300. happen right yeah we're gonna jump back in time understand that and it seamlessly goes together even though we've sort of recorded it out of yeah well i believe would the nature of time itself being a construct of man we can do whatever we want within the confines of true is that real though is that really real the word time didn't exist before man didn't it even if time didn't exist right yeah how could anything at all make sense how would anything change i know how could i even get this thought crazy across to you in the form of this language the language had a
Starting point is 00:48:17 start and an end well that's what that film arrived is all about in it no it's not it is because time is the the whole thing that's part of the language. Time is part of the language. I didn't think it was that good. Well, that's not the point here. We've got to go through a time. What's his best film?
Starting point is 00:48:27 We're going in a time hole, and we're going in a time hole. A digital time hole. A virtual time hole. In a digital world. Yeah, in a digital world. And I am a digital man. And I'm living in a digital world.
Starting point is 00:48:42 And we are digital men. Oh, wow. Bo, boom. That's it. My knob's going up and down. We're going back in time to 300. This is exciting. Let's see where we are.
Starting point is 00:48:51 Wobbly, Woobly, Wobbly fucking woo. Oh, God. We're all... We did it, mate. I was right. We were asked to find our happy place to find the next data orb and we're here. Where? But where are we? We're just in a field. It looks like a random... I'm checking my phone.
Starting point is 00:49:18 Random suburban field. I can see a brick building over there. There's a... There's a mother and a... No, it looks just like a building. I don't recognise that at all. We're in the field just next to the Harrow Arts Centre, mate. And look... Oh, yeah, because we're on the other side from the road. Where's the Morrissons?
Starting point is 00:49:33 It's there. Yeah, just there. My data bank phone systems say it is Saturday, August 13th, at the Harrow Arts Centre, 2020... What do we say, 2? 2020. We've gone back in time. And, mate, the show must be on right now.
Starting point is 00:49:50 We've gone back in time. We've gone back to the... I didn't know that was part of this. It's digital memory. Ah, we're inside the digital memory. Yeah, like a holiday. So we're just having a dream right now? No, we're...
Starting point is 00:49:59 What if I poo myself in the real world? No, if you poo yourself in the game, you'll poo yourself in real life. Well, luckily, I have just pooed myself, so... Then that means... Because I was scared. I mean, I've never time travelled before. It all feels so real. We've done this three times already.
Starting point is 00:50:15 Oh, have we? Yes. We're calling this last, but it's the first, but we were last. Listen, shut up. Shut up. Okay, so what must we do? We're in a digital... This is our third digital memory.
Starting point is 00:50:25 Well, does that mean I can fly if I think about it long enough? No, no kung fu or anything. No, you can only do stuff that you can do in real life here. It's a digital memory. It's not fantasy. So your penis... We've got back in time, though. My penis isn't bigger.
Starting point is 00:50:36 So we're doing that... There's a version of us... Again, we have done this three times. We've had these questions. Let's say these questions for when we do it for the first time. Are you telling me, Paul? Yeah. There's a version of us performing a digital version of the 300 show,
Starting point is 00:50:49 just over there, digitally over there. Yeah, it must be halfway through, if not near the end by now. Look, you can see all the cars in the car park, or we're going to have to go across. Anyway, I remember 300 being one of my career highlights, Mr. Silver, and what do you remember about it? I remember wearing the wrong t-shirt and forever having to look at my fat, titty thorax. I don't think you know what a thorax is, do you? Yes, my thorax. Is it?
Starting point is 00:51:15 Is it? Yes. Paul, don't try it with the science stuff with me, mate. I'm just saying. You, I will go up against you on several things. Okay, dexterity. Okay, digital bank memory box. I also want to type in...
Starting point is 00:51:29 Bank memory box? Yeah, what's the thorax? Is it like, eh? I just want to know what thorax is. Trunk. Oh, the region of the body between the neck and the abdomen, commonly known as the chest. So, can I get something...
Starting point is 00:51:43 But you're talking about your belly, though, were you? No, I said my belly and titty thorax. So exactly... Was I totally accurate in my use of the word thorax? You didn't even know what the fuck it is. My God! Anyway, my tracking device says the digital data or per track bot is in the vicinity of this area. Right.
Starting point is 00:52:06 But what if it's like on the stage or something? We can't interrupt our own show. That might mess up the data bank even more. The time memory, memory bank. Paradox data bank. Paradox data bank thing. Oh, there's the train tracks going. It's an incredibly hot day as well.
Starting point is 00:52:22 Remember how hot it fucking was when we recorded that? Yeah, I can feel it here, digitally, affecting my digital... Yeah, because if we're hot in the game, we're hot in real life. Look, I remember being... Where are we, though, in real life? Because we got transported inside trackbots. So where is our actual body? In trackbot?
Starting point is 00:52:38 Inside it? Yeah. In some kind of magic way. Like Tron. Again, these are questions we should have for the last segment that we record... That's coming out first, when we record it that way. Oh, mate. It's not my thought that you have a serious problem with time.
Starting point is 00:52:51 I think we should start again. It's like we did that sketcher in Edinburgh, and you fucked that up. Oh my God, bringing that up, are we? Yes. Look, this is... Just over there, we're having one of our better moments on stage. I just remember being stressed because we picked the date, we booked it in advance, spent a lot of money on the venue,
Starting point is 00:53:09 and then literally train strikes across the country, hottest day of the year. Wasn't there like a cold play gig or something? And Coldplay were playing at Wembley, so everyone was booked out of hotels. Right. So I was thinking we should cancel this because no one's going to be able to get to the fucking venue. Turns out, everyone came. We packed it out and it was generally one of my most wonderful treasured performance memories. It was a great show, lovely to have such a big audience as well, Paul. Yes.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Yeah, and maybe we could do something like that for 500, you know? Oh, we'd like to return here for 500. Well, I think we might do somewhere in middle of the country so more people can get to us. So more people can get to us? Maybe. But we are actually, can I just remind you? Inside the memory bank of a misfiring trivia robot. Yeah. What does he do apart from do trivia?
Starting point is 00:53:54 He stores all the data. Does he clean stuff? No. Okay. He's not like a Hoover thing. What are they called? A zoom bar. Room bar, zoom bar.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Boom bar, ba, bab. We have a problem. You have a problem bending over. Nice work. My radar, ping, ping, ping, data orb radar. are for TrackBot is getting dangerously close to the venue, mate. We're coming into the car park around the back. Yeah, we're around the back now.
Starting point is 00:54:26 So how can we get the ore? Well, we're going to have to sneak in with the backway. Look, we're going past the Papillon Montessori. Preschool for Posh kids. You know why that's called the Papillon Montessori? There's something to do with the film Papillon. Yes, but you don't know that film, so you don't. I have seen it.
Starting point is 00:54:42 I know Steve McQueen's in it. Basically, what they do with that Montessori is they take the children, they put them on an island and forget about them. All right, then, okay. They befriend Dustin Hoffman. Yeah, okay, good. Wait, which way do we go? Oh, look at this culverting.
Starting point is 00:54:57 Mate, we're not here, focus. We need to get the data orb and get out of here. Lovely bit of culverting. I wonder what Brook or stream that is around here. The hatch. It could be the hatch. It could be the pin. It's probably a tributary of the PIM, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:55:12 It continues here. Yeah. We went all the way down the PIM, everyone, on a different episode of this. podcast the selendine what were they called selendine walk part one or two uh a baller chalk part one and the walk men is part too that's part of the duology of the selendine walk episodes thanks for remembering that paul no my pleasure um all right listen uh we're on the grounds yeah here we are there's the car park it's all packed out there's tom's van where he was like mini busing people
Starting point is 00:55:38 to stations and things that was great it was a great moment coming out to the car park It was like, hey, yeah. So we've got to sneak in now somehow because we can't be seen because we'll break the paradox. Yeah, let's go around the back here, away from the cars in case anyone sees us.
Starting point is 00:55:56 Oh, shit, man. Shit man. Yeah, it's ping in. It's saying it's coming from inside the building. How are we going to get in there? We're going to have to sneak in around the back, aren't we? But I don't want them, that could freak a lot of people out in his memory.
Starting point is 00:56:11 Yeah, I know. I know the rules of this game don't really work when you say it out loud. But for now, we can infer that it's all logically sound. Oh, drum kits. Loads of drum kits in the boiler house. Oh, where are we going here? Toilets in main building. It's good.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Yeah. I'll make we're right round the back. We're talking a lot of sugar, though. Oh, yeah. I think I can hear the show. Oh, I think I can hear it. I think we're near the end. Maybe a hint of blood, but I don't know if that's just my mouth.
Starting point is 00:56:49 It's saying it's backstage, mate. Based on what I remember the venue and what this is pinging, it is literally saying the data orb is right behind the screen. Could I be disguised as a cheap show fan or something? I could just... Yeah, just look faking and like a pervert. And now you'll probably get away with it, won't you? You should probably do that.
Starting point is 00:57:09 So maybe, like, just look really, with lascivious and horny and then you could pass as a cheap show fight, can't you? Can't you? Can't sneak in? Try and get the organ. I'll tell you what, we can't go through that way because everyone's there by the bog and that's the main reception.
Starting point is 00:57:23 We're going to have to go take this back room door. Don't let me see us. We're going to sneak in. Here we go. Oh, there's too many cars, mate. No, has anyone seen us? No. Here we go. Right, we're going to sneak in.
Starting point is 00:57:37 Here we go. Now how much money did we make today Quiet, we need to sneak in I like the way you didn't go round the front and get it You decided to put up, okay What part of this show is, I think we're near the end I don't know, I can't hear it I don't know
Starting point is 00:57:55 Fuck, quiet, quiet Quiet, quiet No I think we're near the end now But Paul, don't let anyone see us It's not going to free, it would be weird I know, it'd be weird, it feels weird It feels weird, we'll just keep you like Back to the Future too
Starting point is 00:58:08 Yeah, just like back to the future too, isn't it this? Let's go behind us behind the curb where the screen is. Alright. Here we go. Quick. Quiet. Get there.
Starting point is 00:58:17 Oh, it's right there. Oh, I can see it. Right there. Oh, I want to look at it. There's a problem. We didn't use it in the show. No. It wasn't.
Starting point is 00:58:26 It's fine. It's only there now. Yeah, that's right. But, mate, we got a problem. What? It's next to the audio cables. If I remove it, it's going to cut out the audio and fuck the show, isn't it? Probably, yeah, it might nudge the audio.
Starting point is 00:58:37 It might go to the audio show, and that might be a problem. It might be a problem for the live show, but if you don't do it. show, but if you don't do it, we're going to end up destroying TrackBot. Very clever bit of sci-fi writing. Okay, well, I think we need the orb, man, because we'll lose all of Cheap's memory. So we can... Trackbott's memory is Cheapestown. Okay, so we have to do it.
Starting point is 00:58:54 Go do it, you go do it. You go do it. You go do it. You go do it now. Oh, God, I can't look. I can't. Shh. We haven't really got...
Starting point is 00:59:05 God, I can't look. I really want to do it, Paul. Right, I've got it. Oh my god Oh shit, let's get out of here Let's go, come on, come on, fucking breakers We've got it, let's go Future cunts, backwards, come on
Starting point is 00:59:20 Okay, we'll do it Right, okay, let's do it then But bear in mind, this is gonna be really rough, hang on It'd be a bit rough, but they get the idea Everything okay technically This should be playing a song Right at the end, Mr. Silverman, right at the end. I don't understand why it's not working.
Starting point is 00:59:52 Do that again, get the playback and take that off, yeah. Start automatically, yeah. Start, yeah. Can someone help? Have you got it on mute or something? Someone, I didn't put it on mute. Someone has. Someone has. Okay.
Starting point is 01:00:13 Wait, wait, wait, fuck off. Fucking, who put it on fucking mute? Not me. How was it me? I've been on stage the whole fucking time. Got a fucking ton of wires. I've got the sound box out there not working. Is it sorted now? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:00:38 Possibly. Should we give it a go? Let's do this bit, yeah, go. Fuck's sake. So ladies and gentlemen, tonight we're going to end with something we've been planning for a while. Quick, quick, get out, get out, get out, get out. Hey, we fucking got it.
Starting point is 01:00:54 Do you think anyone saw us? I don't know, but I think I realised it was me who fucked the screen now. It must have been me. Did you see what you did, you fucking belligerent? Yeah, I turned, I pulled the cable out, made it mute. Ha-ha, so it was me. Pric pulled from the bat. Yeah, but how would that affect the real event?
Starting point is 01:01:12 Because it happened already in a digital memory data-bike landscape. Mate, it makes sense. It makes sense. And look, here's the sundial, where owners of the album may find something. Wicked. Is it going to be here? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:30 You haven't put it here. I'm going to leave a data memory pod. Geo-cash. I'm basically leave a cheap show one-off Geo-cash here. and I'm going to put it in now with my data bank decoding reality fusion button
Starting point is 01:01:43 Ah, I see that button, yeah Anyway, it was good to suck inside the theatre and see all those people again Amazing, and you've got the orb, yeah? Yeah, I've got it, I've got to put it in my bag That's the fourth one, we're done. Hey! Now we've got to get back, quick.
Starting point is 01:01:56 Upload them into TrackBot's mainframe motherboard And stop him melting down? And stopping melting down And taking all of Cheap Show with him Because if he melts down Then we've lost everything Everything we've ever done And we can't afford to do that, man
Starting point is 01:02:06 he's got he is a repertory of everything we have Repository That's what you put up your ass in it No reposite that's a That's what you put up your ass And that's the gag I'm doing Repetry is like what It's when you go on do theatre tours
Starting point is 01:02:19 After you leave drama school Repetri Theatre Yeah that's right That's what I meant No it's not what I meant Repository is what you meant It's a re he's a repository of all Cheap Show everything
Starting point is 01:02:28 Yeah right Repository Repository repository Yeah so now we just need to be ourselves out of here Here we go Bleep block blue Oh, right. We got it. Got it. Got the oar.
Starting point is 01:02:41 The heist of the century. Yes, the Silverman. Come on. Right, we've got to go to the motherboard over there. Oh, he's over there. Quick, come on. Oh, can you see it? Yeah, it's over there. Oh, God, there's digital space like running through through Mark or something. All these sirens are going off. We've got to put them in quick. It's all like I'm running through spunk. Paddles of spunk. Yeah. It must be all the spunk. You've drenched the motherboard in.
Starting point is 01:03:00 I don't think we should spunk in or around trackboard anymore. I don't think we should do it again anymore. Oh, well, once or twice. Well, maybe once on my birthday. And you've got to clean it out afterwards. All right, deal. Can't just block it up, because honestly, it's like running through those stairs in Nightmare and Elm Street. Oh, the spanky, spanky, all the spongy spanky. Nob, no, anyway, give me the orbs.
Starting point is 01:03:20 I'm going to put them in the slot. Here's the oars. All right, here we go. Okay. One, two. Get the orb. Three. Last orb.
Starting point is 01:03:29 Four. Fucking out. Oh, my big brack. God. I'm supposed. We did it. We did it. Trackbot, we were souls, we did it.
Starting point is 01:04:00 We did it. Trackboard, we were swords. We did it. Get us out of here. Beam us out, please. TrackBart, uploaded, uploaded, all files correct. System files, saved. Upload Paul and Eli to real world.

I'm used to this now, being digitally sucked off. Yeah, it's great. Once you've popped, you've never stopped or whatever it is.
Starting point is 01:06:25 I don't know. Well, listen. You do not know. You do not know what you say of. That was episode 450. We had a little adventure this week.

Starting point is 01:07:06 So we just go through this door, TrackBot? Oh, it's another door, is it? Yeah, it's a door-based episode, isn't it, this week? I don't know how, in the digital world, the way to move from one space to the next is a door. Sound effects, mate. Sound effects. Fine. All right, that's how it works in an audio format.
