CheapShow - Ep 67: HoP 09 The Defecator

Episode Date: March 1, 2018

Following on from the fallout of the infamous SEX episode, Ash is feeling considerably left out that no one wanted to write him into one of the sordid tales of CheapShow nookie... So Paul vamps one, much to Eli's chagrin. Ash then goes on to tell us about his vegan adventures in Rome, discovers who is in charge of penieses at the Vatican and what a little pooping statue means. Elsewhere, Eli is typically hung over, Paul gets his Dollop Rip Off indefinitely postponed and the cheap chaps finally settle on the rules for the forthcoming "League of Snacks". It will change the world! It's another mini trip to the House of Pickles! And if you like us, why not support us: www.patreon.com/cheapshow Share & Enjoy.

Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another House of Pickles adventure. It is Cheap Show and with me, as always, is the hairiest, darkest rain cloud in London. It is Eli Silverman. Whatever, Paul. Yeah, hi. You've ruined it now. How have I ruined it? How have I ruined it? I thought that was quite a nice intro. Well, it wasn't. Not only, in your inimitable style, it was neither witty or cutting enough. 20 seconds in. 20 seconds in and you've got a fucking problem. Only, in your inimitable style, it was neither witty or cutting enough. It was just a bit of... 20 seconds in.

20 seconds in and you've got a fucking problem. It was just a bit of verbal fliff-flaff, which he hadn't thought out. And, yeah, how are you? All right? Yeah, I'm fine. Anyway, also joining us from that there Essex, it's... Why, it's only Ash Frith. All right.

How are you doing, you dirty little bastard i'm not dirty enough i feel a bit disappointed if i'm honest paul so well let's get to that after we segue quite nicely into our theme tune that goes like this i hate you and your fucking noodle posse. People love noodles, alright? It's a fact of cheap, so you're going to have to fucking reset. Noodle time.

Tales from the Dark, for a while. Tales from the Darkspawn How's the big guy? The fight of the shite This is gonna take a long time Eli Silver Welcome to Geek Show Right, so, okay, we're back, we're in the room, we're hot to trot, and Ash, you're upset, why? I just wanted to hear some stories about me wanking, mainly, I think that's what I'm mainly annoyed about

Yeah, but you can do that on your own time the sex he wasn't in the sex episode at all also furious at you two i sat in that dungeon for about seven hours and neither of you showed uh well i made the best of it don't get me wrong but what did you get up to did you just have a one or two orgies or did you just kind of a wank and cry and go home well i think when in rome uh go to an orgy i think that is the the done thing and i was in rome as well ah yes oh yes did you have an orgy um well yes yes we did yeah it was lovely lovely time me and the guys rugby's a hell of a sport isn't it yes but we

I had a lovely time in Rome and it was made even better by spending some of it speaking to you guys oh bullshit

and then listening to you guys do you know where I listen to the sex episode I listen to it in the queue in a dark room this is genuinely true I listen to it in the queue. In a dark room.

This is genuinely true. I listen to it in the queue on the way to the Sistine Chapel. Oh, classy. That's true. Nice. That's actually true. That's high culture and low culture, like clashing. I tell you what, though, some of the stuff you talked about

still wasn't as risque as some of that Roman art, honestly. Really? Oh, goodness. There's all sorts of things going on. Lots of things with goats. What, like Jesus giving a reach-around to John the Baptist or something? Well, not necessarily Jesus, but other people. You know, there's all sorts of stuff. What's the hottest thing in the Sistine Chapel? In the Sistine Chapel, the hottest thing thing there's a lot of nakedness but you know they chiseled off all of the uh all of the dicks of the statues in about uh maybe 800 something like that a pope come in who disagreed with uh nudity

so they went around and chiseled off all of the dicks of all of the statues be they you know cherubs or adult men and then another pope come along went no no no we don't need to chisel off dicks we just cover them up so then they stuck on like marble seashells and then another pope come along and he said they don't need to be marble anymore we can make them out of metal so so you'll see statues with like uh you know seashells covering their junk and that's just because they couldn't show their dicks. But probably, I saw a man. It was a statue. It wasn't a real Roman man.

But he was having what looked like consensual missionary position sex with a goat. Wow. Yeah, that was a statue. How could you tell it was consensual? I mean, on the goat's part? Yes, were you projecting? No, no, it had signed a waiver. how could you tell it was consensual i mean on the goats yes were you projecting uh no no that

it had signed a waiver ah there so the waiver was depicted in stone at the goat's hoof was it well the stone seemed to be grinning so but you know it was 2 000 years old so it's very difficult to tell but you know what i hadn't i didn't hear of any complaints and You didn't hear a statue of a goat being fucked complain? No, no, there was nothing of the sort. And if they had have, there was no sort of alternative statues of like the statue of the goat in the dock pointing its hoof at the man with his head in his hands looking sorry for himself.

There should have been. Now tell me, Ash, I'm curious that you were in Rome. Did you have pizza in Rome? Because I've heard things. Well, yes, but I am... Listen to this, right?

I decided that I'm vegan, aren't I? Oh, he's fucking gone and gone vegan. He's fucking blown vegan. Big loser. He's gone full nut cheese eater. But, oh my goodness, the Romans know how to do vegan. Believe you me. They are incredible.

The pizzas were the best I've ever tasted. And it's really genuine. I was terrified about what was going to happen out there. What did you get on it then? I got on it. Tell you what, I got on it. All sorts. What?

I'm also not very good vegan because I don't like mushrooms or tomatoes. You are in such trouble as a vegan if you don't like mushrooms or tomatoes. I don't like aubergine or avocado. Do you just eat, I don't know, crackers? Is that your diet? No, no, no, no, no. But they do lovely stuff. It was delicious.

They do a pizza that begins with M that doesn't have cheese on it. Well, no, pizza doesn't begin with M, though, does it? It begins with P. A pizza begins with M. That's your first mistake. He meant a kind of pizza, but not a margarita. Because a margarita is a classic cheese and tomato.

Yeah. Or as the Italians say dos chezos. What did you say? What's the one you just said? Milano. Is it Milano? It might have been that. It might be a milanese

oh a milanese or a or a or a madonna okay uh but it was just anyway it's just tomato paste and and vegetables is it tomato paste sounds great but it was honestly it was delicious and we went to like a proper authentic italian pizzeria a couple of times. And the whole, the party, there was four of us, three meat eaters, one vegan. And everyone said that the pizzas were incredible. Yeah. It's meant to be the best pizza in the world, Paul. I don't care.

I didn't expect this podcast to turn into food and drink. Well. Or even worse. Okay, how about this? How about this, Paul? Bobby's crisps. Yeah? I spunk on a pizza. Does that make it cheap show enough for you? this podcast to turn into food and drink. Well, okay, how about this? How about this, Paul? I spunk on a pizza. Does that make it cheap show enough for you? You fucking despot. I can't even talk about

what I've... My passion. I can't even talk about it. You're a despot I know it's a bit strong I wish I had the power of a despot oh you got me we've lost Ash

this is bad audio I'm sorry Eli Eli Going back a bit Eli Going back a bit Paul I'm peaking

I'm peaking What does that mean? That my My waveform Has been touching the edges Sorry Oh Lucky for you

Just Deal with it And not be so fat mouthed Oh fuck fat mouthed Yeah you're a fat mouthed twat Just because Listen dick brain Oh dick brain

Dick brain You've got spunk for snot You've got a cheesy Krusty cock end that hasn't seen love In a decade so going back going back Paul going back if you were Pope Eli

where do you stand on penises never stand on a penis well alright where do you stand on penises on statues do you want them on there do you want them off I yeah I'd say okay, you know, let's have

the stone cocks. I'd have to say that Rome is one of the few European major cities that isn't obsessed with cocks. You know, you go to like, where was it I went to, and it was just dicks everywhere. Barcelona, dicks everywhere. Absolutely covered in dicks. Really?

Wooden dicks, just dick-drinking vessels. And in Barcelona as well, there's a thing for shitting ornaments. So anything you could think of, there is an ornament of it doing a shit. Like, my son is obsessed by Mario. That's got a certain name. That's got a certain name. It's a disgusting thing, isn't it? It's disgusting.

People collect that kind of poo novelty poo things, don't they? Yeah, it's weird. Let me use the internet to find out what it's called. And I bet also in Spain they've got those men in a barrel and you take the barrel off and they've got a massive elasticated cock that's with a spring action. Do you remember the really inappropriate things from the 80s that was like, it would have been, I don't know what the correct, incorrect term is, but it would have been like the mum from Tom and Jerry, like the house, the woman.

Oh, the aggressive black stereotype of the housemaid. Yes, yes, yes. And then, but she would have been wearing a grass skirt and a grass sort of thing around her top. And when you squeeze to her, boobs popped out from the grass. I remember that. There was a shop in Covent Garden. I can't remember its name. But it had a whole row of like dancing girls' legs.

Automatic robot dancing girls' legs outside it. And they all used to dance in unison. That was the sign for the shop what was it called and it had all novelty toilet paper with Margaret Thatcher's face on it and it had all sorts of cock you know I've always hated

I'm not approving in any way but I've always hated that kind of dick sort of dick stuff you know when people, kids used to think that was hilarious at school i've always thought you would have hated this shop you would have hated this shop ash it was pure pure novelty poo vagina tit and dick toys there was nothing else in there it's if you could put that into a podcast form what would you call that podcast

cheap show cheap show with willies and bums and tits And a big dick and poo There's been a lot Like can-can girl Like can-can girl legs Yeah we got it They used to not have any knickers on didn't they That was famously what a can-can girl was

It wasn't just them doing a special dance No they had knickers on No they had knickers on that was the point I thought the point was every so often you saw their... No, you didn't. You saw their bloomers. You saw bloomers? Their big, sarchy, matronly bloomers.

Yes. Anyway, going back to that ceramic thing in Spain, they are called... Is this off the top of your head? To the best of your knowledge. No, this is off the internet. Oh, yeah, now I knew that was just a joke. Sorry, carry on.

No, don't. Don't you dare. Don't you dare. Right. So the squatting doll, Pooping, goes back to the 1700s when a peasant farmer version of the squatting statue began popping up in Christmas nativity scenes across the region of Catalonia

alongside Baby Jesus and the Wise Men. So there'd be a stable Baby Jesus Wise Man and a shepherd. Well, you probably can. It was christened El Cagana, which translates most politely into The Defecator. The Shitter!

Which is a great name for an 80s cop show the defecator what about what about the grumpy squasher did you hit grumpy squash yeah in america my family was uh goes squasher grumpy was uh how you wow well in this case the statue was meant to be a sign of fertility and good fortune so plenty of poo plenty of crops to be a sign of fertility and good fortune. So plenty of poo, plenty of crops, and it became a good-look charm. And now, when you buy them in Spain, they usually have famous people. So, you know, Barack Obama. Super Mario.

Super Mario. David Dickinson. David Dickinson. Timmy Mallet. Timmy Mallet. Noel Edmonds. Edmonds. Noel Edmonds. Noel Edmonds. Noel Ed Mallet. Noel Edmonds. Edmonds. Noel Edmonds. Noel Edmonds.

Noel Edmonds. Noel Edmonds. Oh, no, no, no. Noel Edmonds. Can I tell you a very quick story about a thing that happened to me this morning? Yeah, go on. So, have you got thick, thick snow where you are? No. Nothing at all, actually.

It's not thick but it has been uh threatening to sit down and it has settled a bit this afternoon i can tell you ash it's we are we're cold snow here yeah yeah it's colder than it's been it's colder than i've seen london in about three or four years literally we are that's literal we are in south end is like the epicenter for the snow so it's really bad oh really and today i was taking my son to school and there was this really cute dog and it just looked like it was going crazy and the snow looked like it was having a great time turns out what it was trying to do was find a way of doing a shit so it sort of finished dancing

around and me and my son are laughing it did this poo standing up i then saw the owner of the dog this old guy just kick snow over the top of the poo which was on the pavement that's bad form so i wound down the window and said oh you grubby and then i said a very bad word in front of my son pick it up and he did not pick it up. Did he swear back at you? Or did he, what did he do? No,

no, he just walked away. He walked away. He heard me, but he just walked away. He'd covered it up. He'd laid a landmine of poop. That's horrible.

I would have picked it up and thrown a shitty snowball at you. Well, this is the thing. We, on the, outside the school, they had to, they sent a text out saying there was a dog that was like a serial pooer

was pooing outside the school. And could the owners of the dog pick it up? I genuinely considered going there an hour early before school, watching the people let their dog poo and not pick it up. Pick it up and just smear it into their coats. It makes me furious. This sounds like a job for the defecator. Yeah, there you go.

Ash Frith is the defecator. Keeping an eye out on a dog's eye. There is something so unpleasant about the way that dog shit colours the snow surrounding it as well as

melting it. There's something about that that is truly troubling. Yeah, you're right. That's my little observation. Anyway, I think we need to move on from talking about poo and very quickly just do a little sex story for Ash. So here we go, chapter one. Ash is always left out and then one day he gets a text from Paul saying, meet me around the bike sheds.

Ash goes to the bike sheds and there's Eli and Paul all greased up and nude. No, says Ash. I'm making this up right now. I'm making this up right now. It sounds like you're reading it. No, I'm making it up in my head. Right, can I add something then? Yeah, go on.

The smell of the hay. Ooh. Right, okay. Perfect. Are we in a barn or a bike shed? There's some hay in there. right okay perfect are we in a barn or a bike shed there's some hay in there I did say bike shed but I'll change it to a barn I'll say Ash come meet me in the sexy barn

in the barn stroke which is used as a bike shed at times yeah so we're there lying in the hay and we're all naked and Ash is like no no have you got a blanket down are you just on the hay, and we're all naked. And Ash is like, no, no. Have you got a blanket down?

Are you just on the hay? Oh, stop complaining, Ash. Stop complaining. It's a sexy story. Okay. I'm going to dress you up as the twins. I'm going to dress you both up as the twins from The Shining, if that's okay. And I'm going to dress you both up as the twins from Neighbours.

And I'm going to dress you both up as the twins from Funhouse. Who you know? You can't have people you know. You're in it. I know you. That's true. Continue. So, me and Eli are dressed as the Shining Twins and the twins from Neighbours and the twins from Funhouse.

And we go, oh, Ash, you're so sexy. And Ash is sort of like, oh, it feels so wrong. But then you take off your clothes and you crawl over. Did Eli cough up something in the barn as well? Gob that out, Eli, before you start. Eli and I start stroking you. Oh, fucking hell.

And then Ash is all oh no no and he blows all his dick jelly on his belly because he can't hold his load and me and you lap it up Eli and then that's the story well Paul well Paul I hate to say it but you've failed

again you've failed wow I think personally i'd prefer fan fiction that wasn't by you yeah paul look we can get someone to write you know you could just amend some of the ones we've done like when we're in the house of pickles mutual masturb masturbating, we could just say Ash was tapping on the window in a cold, forlorn way. And Ash was looking. So how long do you speak the stories? Yeah, just put them at the end of the chapter that says

and Ash was there too. That's fair enough, yeah. Right, so no more talk of sex and no more talk of poo now. We're done, alright? We will not be touching the subject of text. No. Sex? Oh. No more poo.

No more poo. No more sex. No, Eli's just finished pooing. That's how he lets you know that he needs his bottom wiping. No more poo. What I thought I'd do for this episode is actually read from my book, The World's Greatest Cranks and Crackpots,

in a dollop-esque fashion for you to both interrupt and comment upon. Yes, please. Would you like that, Eli? I don't like anything. Do you want me to read from my book that's in front of me and you guess what the book is? What? All right, but I'd rather not not i'm ready for my diary because we just put out two hours i'm sorry i know it's just that we just put out two two hour episodes and i

thought i'd like to keep this one short to at least maybe 30 40 i have a lot of fun talking to you too right anyway here's today's story. It's called The King of the Dandies. Beau Brommel took three hours to tie his cravat. That's the logline that goes with this story. That's too long. Is it? Is it too long?

Not the story. I mean his cravat. Yeah. What about if it's taken him three hours, it is too long. The cravat. Is this guy also some kind of miser as well as being a dandy because otherwise it's totally off topic mate right fine we won't do a single fucking story ever again

I just thought we'd do something a bit of fun a bit of fun is he a miser? so what's cheap about him? he sounds quite high maintenance and expensive right read it read the fucking thing Paul I'll do my stupid voice So what's cheap about him? He sounds quite high maintenance and expensive. Right, read it. Read the fucking thing, Paul,

and I'll do my stupid voice. Oh, I'm Paul. Oh. Sorry. Just read it. It's fine. Ash, you don't fancy tomatoes or mushrooms or aubergine, you said? Or avocado.

Fucking hell, mate. So once I went to dinner somewhere. Sorry sorry paul i don't want to devalue your story um i got i got i i went to dinner and i'd never had avocado before and i put the first bit of avocado in my mouth and it is one of the worst things i'd ever tasted or felt and then um i ate it all up like a good boy and then the person who said oh did you like that and I said oh yes thank you very much it was delicious and she went oh I've got the other half out in the kitchen I'll get it for you and then I had to sit in another half of putrid avocado disgusting I don't believe avocado is nice I think when people say I love a bit of smashed avocado or whatever it's called, I think they're just lying pricks. Well, I'd say

it is overrated as a vegetable. I'll go that far. I've enjoyed avocado in my time. Especially some guacamole, but guacamole does tend to spice it up. That's the whole point. I'll give you guacamole. I do not give you avocado.

Okay. That's the whole point. I'll give you guacamole. I do not give you avocado. Right. Here's a story then. A nice short one. I completely zoned out while I look for another book to read. It's a different chapter. Is this okay, Eli? This one's called The High Class Kleptomaniac.

Oh yeah, this'll be good. I like it. I like it already. What? Because of the kleptomania, yeah? No, just because Ash said so, and I'm, you know, going along with the flow here. Well, why don't you and Ash make a bloody podcast then, eh? Since you're so up on avocados. We might.

We might make a podcast called Food I Don't Like, But I'm a Force to Eat by Ash and Eli. Oh, that's good. I like that. Yep. It's not very catchy, but I'm a Force to Eat by Ash and Elon. That's good. I like that. Yep. It's not very catchy, though. You might want to tighten it up with a title.

I don't like cheese and onion crisps. What a great podcast it's going to be. You don't... What? Hang on. Hang on, Paul. Hang on. What was that, Ash? I don't like...

He doesn't like cheese and onion crisps. Fuck me. That's a revelation as well Yeah sorry What on earth are you on about I like Yeah what do you like Salt and vinegar crisps

Okay I like Have you heard of a thing called kettle chips Yeah Paul had a bit of an issue. I don't really like them. Paul likes to get the balsamic vinegar ones and suck them. Yeah.

Yes. Oh, yeah. No, I do like that. Yeah. A balsamic vinegar crisp kettle chip is a delightful chip. And it reminds me of going the chippy and having a nice portion. I would still go for a Bobby's Crisp over any other major brand of crisp. A Bobby's Onion Ring. Really? A Bobby's Onion Ring

over any other crisp, probably. Well, you know, we're going to start doing our own league of snacks on Cheap Show. Lovely. Yes, please. You won't be involved, obviously, in that process because you're not trained, Ash, unfortunately.

I think we should involve Ash. I think we should involve Ash. I think we should involve him, yes. He's a vegetarian, vegan. He can be our vegan expert. I could bring vegan snacks. If we meet in person again, I'll bring vegan snacks for you to try. Paul, most of the snacks you like are vegan.

For example. Are they? Yeah. Such as? Cheese and onion flavoured crisps are vegan. What? Some aren't vegan. They're vegan now.

Pringles are not vegan. I just feel inviting Ash into our League of Crisps turns this whole into a minefield of dancing around what food we can put in our mouths. I don't know. Paul, what about this? Yeah. We are, it's our league

of crisps and snacks yeah yeah but then we have advice from outside from fair weather host ash and vegan right come on guys so i've got i've got business to do you know i can't always be around that's the problem. Well, you will be our correspondent in the field when it comes to vegan snacks. How about each month I record myself eating a vegan snack in a field? Yes. Yes. See, this is working now, Paul.

Yeah, it's coming together now. Yeah. There we go. We can call the segment vegan in a field eating snacks there we go needs work yeah i did say last time we i was on the podcast we did talk about me um recording live from the seaside but it's it's fucking cold so i'm not really interested in doing that all right then well that's a good plan i like it you have to go and get snacks record yourself eating them giving us a review we need to set parameters up, actually, don't we,

about do we flavour, cost, texture? Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, what are the parameters we're working in? This is where you come in. Yes, I was thinking about that just today, Paul, funny you mention it, and I was thinking there has to be a variable. That's what you're talking about,

how many variables we'll score the snack and crisps on. And, well, let's get it down in paper right now. I'm going to write this down. So, everything's rated out of 10. So, what are the categories? Texture. Right, so texture.

So, overall mouthfeel. Yeah. What about the size of the packet? Because, like, I am a greedy fatso. So, I think if I buy a bag of crisps i like there to be a lot of the crisps or does that not come yeah but you see you can't you can do value for money value for money how do you two feel about slightly stale crisps i like them yeah i like it i like a bag yeah but we can't left oh i can't eat them I like a bag of Watsits. Yeah, but we can't... Left... Oh, I can't eat them anymore,

but a bag of Watsits or whatever. Chewy Watsits. Just left. I like them left open for maybe half an hour before I eat them. Mate, this is gold. Ash is in his element with crisps,

I have to say. I love a crisp. Another factor, Paul, before I forget, that I was thinking about today, is the to say. I love a crisp. Another factor, Paul, before I forget, that I was thinking about today, is the nostalgia factor. Yeah? Yeah. Okay. So I'm going to write that down. What do you mean by

nostalgia factor, though, for clarification? How much of a nostalgia hard-on it gives you. Yeah. Monster Munch, for example. And Beef Monster Munch. At the moment, my son is having Smith's crisps with the salt packet. I love those. I mean, they're not as nice as ready salted crisp.

However, something in them makes them delicious. Okay, so flavour has to be a factor. So flavour is a category. Mouth feel. I don't think we should rank them on how good they taste stale. I think that we can consider it but it shouldn't be a factor in the score texture, value for money

nostalgia, flavour, is that all? yeah keep the metric down you're happy with those four categories you don't want too many variables Paul it just becomes a quagmire do you remember we did the crisp tasting in the episode with Richard Sandling You don't want too many variables, Paul. It just becomes a quagmire.

Do you remember we did the crisp tasting in the episode with Richard Sandling a few weeks ago? Yes. And, I mean, that's one of the happiest moments of my life. Just you delivering eight bags of crisps. We all just were very polite. Well, this is the thing. There was a lot of politeness going on where you took one or two and you passed the bag i finished the bags off yeah they were good to be fair that was your rider for the show yeah yeah that was that that did it is fair yeah so texture value for money flavor and nostalgia

factor there are four out of ten no not four out of ten there are four categories that we will rate out of ten yeah very good begin to build our ultimate league. Paul, are you going to read us a story? No, I'm not going to now. Why? I don't see the point. I don't see the point. You've ruined it.

Once again, your surly attitude has brought me down. I listened to the Noel Edmonds record. We're going to talk about that in the next proper episode we do. I hate the fact I'm never in proper episodes. This is a proper episode, just not a proper episode. It's not. I hate talking on this fucking metal bollock.

Sorry. I've had a long day, actually. Oh, have you? Yeah. Have you? I feel really... Oh, for you. What happened? What happened in your day, Eli you? Yeah. Have you? I feel really... Oh, for you. What happened? What happened in your day, Eli? I care.

Nothing. I just wasn't very good at being a telephone market researcher for a number of hours, and then I came home. Another amazing Eli anecdote. Well, on that note I think it's time we signed off I know We locked out

We're going to do a wrap up now Professional wrap up and then we can all go home Alright Well I am home Are you at home? I'm home as well Paul Well then I'm also home It was metaphorical

It's called the of Pickles. It's called the House of Pickles. It's my house. All right, if someone would like to write some slaps fiction of Ash, me and Eli playing video games and then jacking each other off in a lovely sexy daisy chain. Paul, I don't have to be involved in your lovemaking with Ash. You can watch. Yeah.

Come on, mate. It'd be on. I don't want to watch. Good. And on that passive aggressive note, we'll wrap up. So, this has been Cheap Show. Support us on Twitter at thecheapshowpod. Go to our website, thecheapshow.co.uk I am at

as well, a complimentary service it has cost us a huge amount of money to have to upgrade to a more expensive because we basically got to the point where we had like a sort of thing that you pay for and we never thought we'd get to the point where they're like no too many people have downloaded it but because so many cheap show uh listeners have come over

I think that's the only thing you can think of financially.
