Hello everybody it's Chief Shai Time again, I've got no energy and Paul's a mess. I am not a mess, how dare you? I'm just emotionally distraught. Oh, because...
Why? I went... I noticed he didn't go to Jimmy Biscuit's funeral. Right.
Why didn't you go? There wasn't that many of us there, it was only me. I'm a serious figure in black. Paul, and...
Listen, bring me the head of Jimmy Biscuit's and then I'll go to his fucking funeral, right? Okay, so I refused to believe that someone... His level of expertise and experience in the field and just determination... Right.
...would find a way out of that explosion. Well, all we know is that that building was completely destroyed and they didn't find his body and so police have decided that he is dead. He's probably gone up to the stratosphere. Do you mean?
Up to the stratosphere! That's what he'd say. Don't you dare. Jimmy Biscuit's voice.
I went up to the stratosphere! Anyway... Anyway... I got...
You have my question. I went up to the stratosphere! You have my question. Oh...
Two minutes and I want to punch her. So why didn't you go to the funeral? Because I hate Jimmy Biscuits, is that what you want me to say? Mate, why didn't you go?
Because I'm trying to push my character, Don McNubbin? Oh, you want to bring Don McNubbin? Don't... Come over here.
I said I don't McNubbin, how you do it? I... I ate a gugget. Hey!
Already I know this is the worst episode of Cheep Show! Hey, talk to me, Paul! I'm done with nothing! Hi, Don!
Tell us a bit about you! Ah, well, that's a long story. I'm sorry! Well, say for another time, then, shall we?
Alright! Welcome to the Economy Comedy Podcast, Cheep Show! Should I go? Should I go?
I would love you to go! Where do I go? I'm... I'm done with nothing!
I know! I know! Thank you! Bye!
Hey, Eli! Yeah! Your character added nothing! Well, he's here now.
I hate you! And your fucking mood will post it! People love noodles! Hey, Cheep Show!
You're gonna have to learn the fucking insects! Cheep Show! Up, round, round, round, round, round! Cheep Show!
It's a price of shite! Paul Ganon! Eli, still holding him! And a girl and a nuzzle!
Hello! Hello! We're back in the theme song now, ended. In all its glory.
Welcome to Cheep Show! The Economy Comedy Podcast, I said, already! Just keep the bargain in the charity shops and powerlands! And bring you to the theatre now!
That's what it's there! The list has come to come to that! Every time we try an E-long date, it's a factor in every possible... I'm trying to get something!
Go on! Go on! Go on! It's obviously mine off!
Is it? I've got one of those squeezers! Eli's new book! Cool!
It's obviously mine off! I'm gonna have to get it out of public! What are they pumps they sold in the old corn mix? What do the pump do?
The elongates? Does it though? It doesn't make it look like an egg for a bit! It just almost swelled up like a little egg!
Oh man! Like one of those round called jets! No! Like a duck egg!
It makes me a duck! Like a guy! I had some duck eggs over there! I had a bit fishy!
Bit of the waterfowl! You know what I mean? When they look at the dogs we had on Digitizer! The Sentry Egg!
They did have fishiness! Fishy-willingness! I've got a horrible weight with nausea! It wasn't the cre- ugh!
No! He hasn't even put anything in his mouth! It's funny! It's the memory of it!
It's a lot of it! It's horrible! I did not care for those! They were very very creepy!
It's the creaminess! Anyway, thank you all on this subject! I'm moving on! Thank you very much for the kind word people said about the Chief Show Awards episode!
There were some lovely emails that came off the back of that. It was lovely to do! It was a little bit different, but we had a little bit of fun doing it! They also helped his sites and loose ends, plot-wise, and the lore of the Chief Show!
Hopefully, create a few more ones to come! Hey, look reader! Listen up! Yeah!
Nice to see Grumpy Sessions getting some work! We didn't pay him for his performance! No, we didn't even tell him there was a microphone in his house! We just put a microphone in his house and left it on him!
Do you know Paul that's my relatives? They referred to him as squishing a grumpy! No! Now everything makes sense with you!
Hi few grumpy! A lie! And then it will all your family sounds like Gibby! Did you squish out at grumpy?
I certainly did! YES! PAPA! I think I'm gonna get Don back!
No, no, no, no, no! He's gone there! He's gone forever! He's gone forever!
Forever! I'm fleeting! New entry to the Chief Show! We've played the whole characters!
Right! We've tried to discover the existence! Hmm, yes! Do have we all over the show?
Well on the show today, Mr Silverman, we have a pac-show. Two segments! We've not really done properly in a while! We are doing Eli's Platter, Silverman's Platter, Silverman's Platter, and we are also doing that we are also doing a pause pleasant past times.
It's again and golden games. All pleasant past times where I make that sound annoying. I know you can make anything sound annoying. You do.
I'm regularly a little re-do. If you want to do past times, I'm working on some weird way to say that already. The hard piece put me off that. So, uh...
Well, it's a cool idea. Don't do anything, you dickhead. Just don't do it. And on today's Gannen Golden Games, we're once again dipping into a board game based on a 1980s game show TV property.
So there is that to look forward to. And that is your thing. There is. Are you doing?
Can I have something? It's kind of... It's a... What?
After we did the awards episode, it felt like a weight came off my shoulders because I know there's only six episodes now to 200. But that's still a month or so. You're peeling back the... The fetid, the second, beef curtain of the show.
Yeah, I'm peeling back the withered, tight, foreskin. Withered and tight. Yeah. Withered.
What about Century Egg? We're peeling back. The Century Egg. Of Team Show.
Yes. In a moment. No, I know you mean I pull over. I feel spent.
Mate, you know what? And you brought it up in the Patreon poll we did earlier. Let's pop outside the podcast. Just...
The hell of it, really? Just pop out the podcast. Just pop out the podcast. I'm like, I'm...
Up here. Alright, come on. Oh. It's a nice idea, isn't it?
Oh, it's more like an endless void though. Look, if you look all the way down there, there's all the unused segments from the beginning of the show just floating around in the cosm. Disconnected. I think that's John Coneyhole riding on one of the segments.
Yeah, John Coneyhole. I can't make him out. What does he sound like? Anything about John Coneyhole?
What? He's just over there. He's riding around on one of these loose flying segments. What segment is that?
Oh, it's the Take a Break segment where we look at magazines with it. Yeah. And the rest of the segment. I don't like it.
It was a depressing segment. Look at it swirling around. It's trippy. I'm getting trailbacks off the segment flying in the air.
Oh. It's nice and hard. Isn't it? Nice and...
Don't look at that. I'm just a bit excited about that. I'm talking about your dick. Quite up.
Can we not have any dick talk outside the podcast as well? Do you want that to be a new rule? No dick talk outside the podcast. I just think we've got some fresh air.
We're breathing in the void of outside the podcast. Yeah. And I was just saying, the top of the podcast, it's got a nice hard white... sci-fi vibe to it.
That's all. Like an egg. It is like, in many ways, this show is like an egg. And we're on top of the egg.
It's egg-like segments stretching to infinity. It's a fragile, ironically strong shell. Do you know what it smells like outside the podcast as well? For me, it's sulfur.
It's a slight tinge of sulfur, but there's a rose wood. A rose wood. Like a fireplace. Yeah.
Crackling fire. I don't want to go back to the podcast. There's a slight breeze. I don't want to go back to the podcast.
Well, you're going to have to come back down. I'll go back to it. I'll go back down and let you have a moment. All right.
Let me go. See you in a bit of your life. Bye. Fuck dickhead.
Paul's lost it, everyone. He can't take it anymore. Oh, I don't like going outside the podcast. Let's go back in.
Well, I am back in already. I'm talking to them. Oh, when Paul's going to join me back in the podcast. I'm just closing the hatch.
Okay. I come back down, Paul. Ah. You got it out of your sister?
Yeah. All right. I feel better now. All right.
Show me how hard it stays. Let's do it. Let's do it because we're the only podcast that matters. See you guys after the sound effect.
Yes. Yes. Yes. It's time again for Silverman's platters.
This is where I felt. Oh, God. Here we go. Felt.
I don't felt. What? What? What?
What? I was looking for a word of looking through stuff and felt out. You do the phrase. I was looking through the records.
Yeah. And I found. Yeah. It's the part of the show where I look through my records.
I can help. And I select things of interest to me and you, the listening public. And hopefully to you as well, Paul. Well, I have it now and then I like to join in.
Oh, I like good. So Silverman's platters is a segment that has a patron site. I was hoping you'd bring him on. I'm going to call him now.
Here we go. Silverman's platters, who's a fucking. Silverman's platters. patron site of the segment.
Clyde McFlatter. Hello. Good. Now I'm with the show.
I'm going to cover my voice for him. It doesn't matter. He doesn't have a voice. But I did.
So why do you call him? You know I've played you that Clyde McFlatter chain. Yes. So let the boogie boogie roll.
Excellent. But he also was doing work into the soul era. Watch the 60s. Yeah.
Okay. And there's a Northern soul classic, which is his as well. Cool. I can't remember, but I'll come back to you on this.
All right. So he's got a bit of everything. We got one kids record and. Oh, we should start with that one actually.
Yeah. Yeah. And two moog moog. Dare I say it?
Moog. Yeah. That was like the name of the character in Will of the Wisp. Was the Moog.
The little sausage dog thing. Yes. Not Arthur. No, he was like the dog.
No, he called Moog. Wasn't he? Moog. The Moog.
Yeah. Does anyone remember that show? Willow the Wisp. I like Willow the fucking love Willow the Wisp.
I loved Kenneth Williams reading of it. I love Paul Edna. Yeah. Brilliant.
He was a witch. Right. Well that's maybe the poison in the pie. But it's like ooh lovely pie!
I'm on ... I'm on Poison. Ahh! Willow the Wisp.
It's like, oh I love the kid show. Message TV bag, yeah! Yeah. Other shows, the classic utterly absurd example is, why don't you.
I used to want to get to want to be on, why don't you. Then I watched it back recently and I just thought what? I was trying to figure out. Because they're all part of that drama school style.
They come from straight from the state school. So he wanted to watch the most awful children's TV in the world. And this is no exaggeration. Watch Rod Hall's Pink E-Mew Windmill show where it was in 80s.
Pink Windmill. Every now and then for no reason, all the kids are dancing and singing like contemporary hits. And it's really affected British stage school man of fakes. And I think that why that year as well.
They're just real kids. No, no, why don't you use a bit more kind of a magazine format? And I seem to know it's just kids being TV presenters. But later on they did stop folding in a little bit of a narrative.
Oh yeah. And I remember there used to be this Welsh character in it. And it had a flat cap and he was weird. And then it's in that kind of uncanny valley between is it drama or is it a live show?
A bit like Cheep, Cheep, Cheep. A bit like Cheep Show. Frankly, I mean mix all the genres and the themes and the drama and characters. It's not awkward.
Anyway, the point I was trying to make about why don't you? Is in the theme tune famously? Why don't you turn off your television set and do something less boring instead? Yeah.
So how is telling you at the top of the show? Don't watch the show. Ultimately, because watch the show. How does it get that message?
I know. So you have to watch the show to get the message to watch the TV show. It's utterly ridiculous. So what does that mean?
In episode one they say, don't watch this show. Next week, just a bunch of fucking kids. What was it killing dogs with sticks? Killing dogs with sticks.
Yeah. Why don't you kill a dog with a stick? I think there was one of them. You fucking cave intended with a brick!
Right. OK. Why have you gone that way? But do you remember how?
No, that's the audition. No, you didn't. Oh, that's a shame. Paul voice number two.
Mm. Now Paul. Yeah. Do you remember how though?
How? Yeah, how? For now. And they brought it back in the 90s called How To.
We carol of Orton in the gas. They dropped the kind of Native American. No, they still did it. And that's how.
But now. As in how? They hand up and say. Because that's what Native Americans do.
That's what they do, is that just one of those things was like no, they didn't also go. Oh! And that was real. Exactly.
So it's a bit dodgy, isn't it? Now. Fred Dinej. Yeah, I remember liking How.
I used to love How. I love those shows where you learnt something in an entertaining way. Yes. So did I.
Memories. I'm going outside the podcast. No, come back down. Well, on that note.
No, no, no. We're going to go outside the fucking podcast. We're inside the podcast. We're in the podcast inside the podcast.
No, we're not inside the inside podcast. Are we nested? Is it nested realities inside the podcast? No.
Oh, no. Oh, I know what we're doing. Yeah. We're doing Sylvan's Platter today.
We're talking about kids' TV. It's just the segue I was trying to get into. But I think this I believe in a charity shop round your waist. Oh, you did.
In, um, talk into the fucking mic. All right. Arrow on the old daddy. Talking to the...
No, no. I've got the ladies and gentlemen. We're experimenting with this recording this week. Ladies and gentlemen, they don't care about this.
Well, you can cut it out there. I've got to put you like... I made them with the headphones so we can see how loud or quiet he is and you monitor his own voice. When you spoke then you had your mouth away from the mic.
I have better my technique than you in general. So shut your stupid fat bull- I have a fat mouth! Overgrown, foiled, ridden face. All right, good.
Okay, this is the first record, the first platter. And I'll be asking you, Paul, whether you think it is a platter or a splatter. Which is our little thing. A little thumbs up or a thumbs down.
Splatter, his thumbs down. Platter is right up. Right up. Right up to the knuckle.
Thumb knuckle. Oh, okay. I'll give you a thumb knuckle. Are you like, you're wearing the headphones right now.
Get this. Thumb knuckle. Nice. Nice.
I'm not going to talk about it. I'm knuckle. Yeah. And thumb knuckle.
No character. No character. Oh, and thumb knuckle. It's the same voice as up with that attitude.
I'm going to ask them to knuckle. Thumb knuckle. Inchman. Thumb knuckle versus Inchman.
Going to sit in there. 2021. That is, no, that's got something. It's got, yeah.
This is an LP I picked up in Harrow. Yeah. Bang and a drum. Songs from play school and playaway.
So, play school and playaway were very, for children who were very young, it was like primary school age or younger. No, like nursery school maybe. Like we're talking three to five, three to six years. It's like that.
And it was adults playing with toys in a set in a street type way, but not puppetry. Just they had, yeah, Jemima. Yeah. Did they talk?
No, they never talked. No, they never talked. They never talked. No, they never talked.
No, but they never talked. No, they never talked. No. They never talked.
Oh. I have this little personality. For me personally, Paul, playscore was my first experience with, oh God. No, I had the whole teddy bear face.
Yeah. HD was that the name of the pontine? Yeah. He was a nice little natty plaid trousers.
He either or go round the explainer with the egg. Yeah. Who are the biggs? Why are eggs coming up so much?
Egg to Egg base show? Nesting eggs, egg with an egg with an egg. Nesting reality eggs like the windmills off my egg. Right.
So, I'll put the drum on our website of the outcome and also the TV scene. I think it was very similar. I think they were much more muchness. Right.
The cover has all of the... Oh, there, there, yeah, you're right. How about a picture about that? Is that Humpty?
I don't remember. Humpty's like a Greek. Humpty? Paul.
What was Humpty the colour of Humpty suggesting to you? He's green, isn't he? Like a green? Like a century egg?
Humpty is a century egg. Humpty is a century duck egg. Well... Creamy finish.
That's why he got kicked off Play School. He's very natty. Did they change that? I think they must have.
He's a very trippy one. Isn't there any purple velvet trouser tops? Look, you said his trousers, you remember his trousers being... A nice tartan or a plaid.
They're all kind of green. It's a green sort of... No, what's that called? The beeper.
I don't know. It's called Paisley. Okay. There's your mime.
They're all slants sitting around and drumming. Who's this here? There's a little baby. Creepy, baby, realistic baby.
I hate that. That's unnecessary. There's big sheds. Little sheds.
Play School, it says on the drums. You love these kind of things, don't you? I love BBC records. I collect it, especially the singles.
You're expensive as well. I've known charity shops. There's that one I showed you. That was like a finger puppet.
I just think it's part of the general trend. They get someone in, goes on disc logs, and he looks at how much one was sold for. That's not the top of the search. That doesn't check the condition.
It's like some of the worst prize vinyl you can find in the whole world. It shouldn't be in a charity shop. It shouldn't be in a charity shop. It shouldn't be in a museum.
It's a little jute. Don't start jute. Why? You shouldn't be running this in.
I'm just going to do Indiana Jones in the last crusade impression. Junior. Junior. It's one word.
Oh, smarts are smart. Okay. That's... Junior.
I am the last dragon. Junior. I like it. I like it.
I like it. James Bond. My name's James Bond. Hello.
Junior. You put one of those in a bottle. You put one of those in a bottle. Junior.
Producer. He's a big fan. He's a big fan. Honestly.
He's a big fan. Can we? Yeah. So this is an album I imagine of songs taken from the TV show.
And another good thing about it is it has a picture of all of the presenters. Brian Kant. Yes. I know he was a mainstay.
Right up until it became like Play School. You know when they kind of even vamped all the kids TV shows. So Play School finished and then it became Playbuffs and then Play Days. Now, the tune we're going to select, it's quite funky.
Surprisingly funky. But as we mentioned when we were talking about before, it's got a kind of sesame street vibe to it. It's got a lovely mellow sort of dust motes in the sun on an hour, Sunday afternoon, you know, and you're in a lobby and it's tiled and it's all those black and white tiles. And it's dust molds.
No, for me, this song is quietly on in the back of a British pub very softly as they're waiting for the pub quiz to start. And it's Sunday and everyone's they're the locals and they're all in their 50s and 60s and they all smell a piss and fags. And the guy comes out called Jack Wild and he does the he does the quiz pub quiz and he's like, oh hell. Oh hell.
My girl is a dead love. Listen, you've spent you've spent all of your creative love last week and you really struggling. I'm trying. Puffing up banks.
You wouldn't go for Don McNubbin. You could have had a real interaction with him. I think we should just since we are 30 minutes in just play the music click right now. So this is the L.P.
is Bang on a drum and this is the tune Bang on a Drum. Let's listen to it right now. It's enough if you don't know how just a cool off your feet. You heard about the rhythm of a drum.
That's a little good. You taught me how. After a new set try it. And then pretty soon I was tapped with the song.
Drums are way on boring day to extract. When I first called you can make some heat. And if it's hot you can go to the drum over and rule it. And you're right.
That is nice and chill. And I put kind of funky isn't it? Yeah. And again it does remind me of like Sesame Street.
It's like way of learning with that kind of very accessible, recognisable genre song that helps impart the message. I just like I like it because it's more I don't know it's more today. Everything's so for children. Children's music and children's TV is so focused on the exact demographic.
Okay. They've got they've solved it. They know. Things like the beginning of this was things like Teletubbies and stuff.
They know. Simple repetition. And you look on like YouTube for children. It's even worse.
And it's just these sort of algorithmic colourful. Right. And it's just completely soulless. Do you know what I mean?
Okay. I see. They love it. I mean they it's so focus grouped.
They know exactly what will keep kids watching now. Whereas then this is much more sophisticated. It's more musical. It's sophisticated in so much of that.
I think no one really knew what they were doing back then when it came to kids TV properly. That's when they were finding their way. Yeah. And then unfortunately it gets boiled down to.
Because like for a minute. I'm not going to be one of these people who says they never make whatever these days. But I find it hard to imagine shows like Bagpuss getting commission now. Yes.
I'm not saying that. Never would. Again. The Bagpuss music transports me back.
It's lovely. It's so mellow. And this has this has a sort of quality similar to that. Yeah.
It's weird because the Bagpuss music is not a genre I care for. The whole folk music thing. But what's nice is because I love the show. And I love the imagery that show and the mice and the gadgets every week that they had to fix.
Those songs are so intrinsically tied to my childhood that they surpass my knowledge of folk music. And just becomes like oh musical memory droplets. They go oh the taste of strawberries. That's something.
Bye everyone. He's fake walk out on himself. There he goes. He's gone to the end of this segment.
Come back. We haven't finished this segment. He's looking back. Did you have a little look at the window into the next segment?
No. Okay then. It's kind of a ruin. That's everything.
You're ruining everything today. I love this. I love it. Because as I say it's like I like the variety.
And you know what? It's like there's all these songs that I imagine are quite different across the album. Yeah. I mean he's involved because I think this guy Nick started off as a musician.
So he's an actual musical guy. Yeah. It doesn't really tell you much about how these were all put together. I like finding those funky little ones.
And there's a bluesy rainbow record. A similar record for Rainbow. Early days rainbow. You know when they used to have the singers.
Rod and Jay. But there's also a couple of instrumental tracks on that LP that just nice. Just sort of nice music. And I think this Bang and a Drum has that as well.
It's a lovely thing. I'm definitely going to call that a platter. It's a platter from me as well Paul. It's good.
It's nostalgic for me. But it's the level of musicianship. It's actually listenable. But even if you aren't a child, it's not impossible to enjoy listening to it.
