What’s in the box? This week, we take a cautious peek into the CheapShow PO Box and see what’s inside. Luckily there are no severed heads, but there IS a rubber duck, a collection of dusty albums, a selection of European candy, a collection of lesser known gross out cards and, in a shocking twist, our greatest enemy gifts the podcast with something actually kinda awesome! And if it’s your 18th Birthday, he also has a message for you too. Lucky you!
(Yes, we know the episode title is stupid, but there is a reason! Honest!)
166 - BETRAYAL IN THE HOUSE OF PICKLES
It was turning out to be a lovely episode, it really was. It begins with the most epic Sauce Report ever reported. Not only do Eli and Paul enthusiastically discuss McDonald's Big Mac Sauce, but plan to make their own. Eli also brings an amazing sauce discovery to the show, and it's a discovery that could blow the whole segment apart! A little later on, Eli is gifted two delightful treats that brings smiles to everyone's faces...
And then they played The Price of S**** and it all went wrong. Badly wrong.
This is why they can't have nice things.
165 - BAD JACKFRUIT
It's a blast from the past on CheapShow this week. After the cancellation of a planned guest, Paul had to reach out to a face that, although familiar to Eli and Paul, will be unknown to YOU! But who is this person? Why is he here and why has it taken 5 years to get that person on the show? Once the mystery is solved, it's another case of the usual CheapShow shenanigans, with a sweet Cheap Eats, a rather scat heavy Tales from the Shop Floor and a shouty take on Family Fortunes. Join us in the Tudor Crypt! (Soho Radio)
164 - HOW TO BE A COMPLETE INCH LORD
If there is one thing that Paul and Eli know how to be, it's how to be a bastard! Over the past 160-odd shows, the cheap chaps have been shouting, screaming, arguing and causing trouble for each other without any assistance or guidance. However, this week, they explore the world of "Bitches" and "Bastards" by looking at two books and two board games based on the "How To Be A Complete Bastard" brand. Elsewhere this week, there is a "chunderingly" good edition of Tales of the Shop Floor and we can finally announce the debut of a brand new character, "Inch Man". We're very sorry!
