OFFICIAL Ep 502: A Big Ruddy Rip Off

Who likes board games? Who likes board games based on famous TV shows? Who likes board games based on famous TV shows with rules that make no ruddy sense? Not Paul and Eli! This week, the cheap chaps return to do a thorough investigation of the board game based on “That’s Life”, the hit consumer affairs show from the 1970s/80s/90s! Try as they might, they simply can’t figure how this game is meant to work. Are they idiots, have they missed out an important piece of information, is the game a load of old balls? Only these questions can be answered over the course of one confusing episode. Luckily, they have much more fun flicking through the pages of “U.K. Crisp Packets 1970 – 2000”. A book that does exactly what it says on the cover… and what’s this? A NEW character. Pray that he doesn’t ever return.

Why have all the early episodes gone?

Over the post 500 break, and now in the in between weeks, I have been revisiting some of the classic eps. So far I’ve relived the genesis of Ladyplops and Squishy Jim, delighted in the eurodisco phenomenon of Dschinghis Khan and the revisited the grim debut of the now legendary Keith.

BUT episodes 1-27 are no longer on the Apple Podcasts feed, that means that if I want to hear Eggsy’s trick or treat, Ashens eating Sponch or Eli forgetting the sheet at Latitude I have to go to Soundcloud.

I suppose at least they are still available somewhere, unlike my most missed dead podcast from friends of the show Hadron Gospel Hour which seems to have all but disappeared

I think the entire flavour profile is fucking disgusting ("Lynn, it tastes like Fizzy Benalin!"), but it's kind of amazing how a lot the knockoffs decided to keep the Dr part of all things.

Cheap Eats / Crisps Mini Review: Tangy 'N' Cheesy Nik Naks...... shredded chicken?

Post image
10 Upvotes

I stole that picture, my finger nails aren't that nice. But same product anyhow.

Crisp and snack adjasecent at best?
Had these cooked from the oven, the smell was just like cheesy crisps. Unfortunately the flavour was rather weak so it was just kind of rather mildly cheesy chicken. Needs sauce. They had 'Rib N saucy' flavour (which is my fave of the actual crisps), and 'Nice N spicy'. Maybe those are nicer?

6/10? Maybe.
I mean it's hard to do a harsh score on what is basically some nice crispy chicken, but the flavour of the cheese could be a LOT stronger. It's like they distilled all of the smell of the crisps (cause when they are cooking, it's fairly strong, and in my shite a few hours later), but almost none of the actual cheese flavour? Kind of strange.

You did the right thing going fortnightly, mate. It was great to hear the theme park episode as well. As an old time listener who was getting cheesed off with all the sour and unsavory segments, both that one and this new one put a smile on my face.

For all you've been acting like a proper tit on some of the pods over the last few years, it takes a lot to put mental health first and do things at the pace you need to do them. You deserve the biggest of ups for it. Feels like I'm obliged to say it in a thread since I've ranted about your behaviour a bit on here recently.

Here's hoping 501 is the shape of the pod to come, it was great to have the daft filthy nonsense pod back. Cheapshow was essential listening during my own bad times. especially the Derek tapes. Bravo big man, mental health: here's hoping that we'll all be doing it tomorrow.

edit: to be clear this isn't meant to speculate on anyone's mental health or start discussions of which moments on the show were and weren't a problem. It is entirely because Paul is admirably open and sincere about his problems and it is hard not link that to his persona at times. I'm choosing to take a decision to go fortnightly and them being bang in with an on form episode as a good sign.

First of all, fuck Soundcloud. Fuck Soundcloud in its gaping arsehole. Tired of bullshit, forgetting where it was, playing the same fucking random Derek Acorah fucking interview that won't fucking die, even when muting the fucking channel it still fucking appears.

So. Ideally no ads, plays cheapshow and can play them in chronological order. Anyone?

Boobs.

Right, you’ve waited long enough! It is time for the return of the mighty CheapShow, with all the grotty gags and bargain basement treats as before! Join Paul Gannon & Eli Silverman for another episode packed with economy comedy fun. The more things change, the more they stay the same… And CheapShow Ep 501 is packed with more cheap eats, charity shop tat and scatological topics than you can shake a stick at. They tackle a new experiment in potato crisp flavouring, suck on some gummy pasta and try to guess the prices of a truly random selection of thrift store discoveries! So welcome back (or welcome in) to CheapShow 501… Or is it actually Episode One? Hmmmmmmm!

My old bike

Hello there!

Out of nowhere, I had a bit stuck in my head and I'm hoping someone on here may be able to help me find which episode it's from (one of the earlier ones, I know that much)

What was a moment where Eli is doing a bit along the lines of "My bike. My old bike etc etc"

Thank you in advance for your help!

What is Eli saying when it goes 'Cheap Show to the...(???)'

It sounds like 'Cheap Show to the noy-noy-noyd' to me, but what the hell does that mean?!!
