It's too hot to record in the festering House of Pickles this week, so the Cheap Chaps move next door to the slightly more pleasant House of Sausage and Eggs. Once there, the heat rises and tempers overflow, so expect the usual rants, meltdowns and overuse of the word "thwopage". The only way they can cool down is to take a trip to visit the Soda Jerk Man and try out some of his fizzy, frothy, cheap delights! Sadly, they are lukewarm. Which means more disaster for Eli and Paul and the deaths of some "beloved characters". Oh, and there's a quick Price of Shite BFG Edition too.
It's a fractured, heated and extra chunky episode of CheapShow.
136 - GOOD GAME!
Higher, higher? Lower, Lower? In this week's edition of CheapShow, Paul challenges Eli to an epic edition of "The Price of Shite" that will spin wildly out of control at various points and then limp to a finale. The usual. It's a special "Rank Me Off" edition that will involve the cheap chaps getting off on clicking sounds, exposing their dark truths, showing off their dark magic skills, pretending to chat each other up and having the job interview from hell. There may be a little bit of "wind warfare" too. To put it politely.
This show is never going to win an award, is it?
Oh, we also do cheap eats and get to celebrate a certain song and dance man... Bruce Forsythe. It should be a "good game!"?
135 - EXCUSE ME ABOUT THAT
CheapShow apologises for the temporary malfunction and break down of Eli J Silverman, co-host on this very podcast. Although his faculties clear throughout the episode, it's important to note that Eli is still in early beta stages as a human. We hope this doesn't affect your enjoyment of this week's episode. Elsewhere in the show, we get a long overdue "Tales from the Shop Floor", some delightful confectionery donations to the Froth Shop, introduce a new (possibly problematic) character, have a quick discussion on American comedy, drink something that reminds them of a public toilet and uncover some very cool vinyl from Paul's recent trip to Los Angeles. Its frothy, man!
134 - THE OFFICE DAY TRIP TO BRIGHTON
Grab your sunscreen, slap on your sunglasses and suck on an ice cream... We're going to the seaside! Welcome to the first ever "Office Day Trip To Brighton" and come along with Paul and Eli as they soak up the sun, the drink, the shops and the sea front. It's an epic episode, one packed with surprises, both delightful and horrific, as well as panic attacks, bathroom accidents, word salad and a quick stroll along the pier. What will they discover? What will they do? Why is Eli having a great day and not Paul? Strap in, it's going to be a proper Carry On... but with more knob gags and disappointment.
