Just how deep is the "Winkie" Rabbit Hole? As it turns out, pretty damned deep! What started as a curious vinyl record find now encompasses 80s toy crazes, billboard stunts, a weird wedding and a famous American fringe artist! Find out more about Winkie... and what we plan to do next.
Elsewhere in this extra chunky episode, Eli dishes out a decent Price of Shite and Paul gets to dip his toes into the warm waters of Off Brand Brand Off. Unfortunately, we all know what's coming next as a result. You have been warned.
114 - WINKIE
What is "Winkie"? Who is "Winkie"? Why is "Winkie…"?
This is the mystery we try to uncover in this week's episode. Paul and Eli take the deepest dive they can into a world of weird and unusual vinyl in Silverman's Platter. Along the way the Cheap Chaps tolerate "pub singing", strange French musicians and uncover what must be the most obscure record in podcasting history... which leads down a very odd rabbit hole!
For those of you missing out on some hardcore Noodle action, fret no more, as CheapShow also returns to Eli's "Country Urban Noodle Testlab.... Kitchen" for a selection of cheap and cheerful instant noodle snacks.
It's a big, fat chunky one this week, folk! Get comfy!
113 - 221B BAKER STREET
The Game's Afoot... literally! This week, Gannon's Golden Games gets a modern classic board game mystery to solve. But once 221b Baker Street starts, the competition becomes fierce and stakes become higher. Will Holmes and Watson solve The Mystery of the Unholy Man? Find out in this week's thrilling adventure. Somehow, the show also manages to cram in some Muppet talk, reader's letters and a dodgy new night club venture. Typical.
Many thanks to Stuart Ashen for his guest appearance.
112 - BEYOND PUNDERDOME
It's the Punderdome, a pun filled battle to the death. Two men enter, one man leaves... followed by the other a little while later! When the Cheap Chaps play a board game based on a New York comedy night, their comedy skills are put to the test and left sorely lacking!
Before all that madness, there is a classic Price of Shite with one particularly angering toy discovery, Paul erupts into the most prolonged and pointless piece of toilet humour in the show's history and we get a little trippy with a visit to Silverman's Platter. The show just got silly!
