It's only taken 5 years, but the economy comedy podcast is FINALLY doing it's own knock off version of Charles Dickens' yuletide classic "A Christmas Carol". Expect a reasonably troubling and certainly unique interpretation of the source material. Grumpy old Eli gets the Scrooge treatment this year when Paul decides he needs a visit from 3 ghosts. It's definitely not just Paul dressed up in awful costumes. Not at all. Eli is sent whizzing back to the 80s for a retro Christmas morning, hurled into a present day candy store and plays a deathly important game against The Ghost of Christmas Future. His very life is on the line! In fact, Eli's whole reality could be at stake!
Merry Existential Christmas!
157 - THE SKIDS STAY IN THE PICTURE
It's a cornucopia of crap this week as stakes are heightened, tat is donated and voices are raised. In a surprising turn of events, Paul upgrades The Sauce Report to a full, proper segment. It's a decision he soon learns to regret. Eli gets carried away and things get messy. There is a special Price of Shite this week, donated to our POP Box. It would have made for a great head to head... had Paul not read the prices! Along the way, Paul and Eli meet a vengeful Uncle Grumbly, create a new surveillance system and somehow get into another noodle based argument!
156 - MAXIMUM THWOPAGE
Stop us if you have heard this one before... Eli is unwell and in a mood and he... OH you HAVE heard this before? Well how do you think Paul feels? Paul is also not happy with Eli's constant use of the word "Thwopage" so Eli needs to up his game. That does not happen this week. Instead, you are treated to a new Tales from the Shop Floor, an amusingly underwhelming Cheap Eats and a return to Paul's Page Turners, featuring two charity shop books, one definitely more interesting than the other! Same Tat, different day!
