Ep 203: Jizzy Pigs

from CheapShow Hosted by CheapShow Pod

If you want to know why this week's edition of the economy comedy podcast is called "Jizzy Pigs", you will (sadly) discover all too soon. Suffice it to say, it's not nice and it involves pigs. Beyond that nightmarish promise, it's business as usual in the House of Pickles! This episode comes complete with an edition of The Price of Shite, and in a nice change of pace, all the items are actually useful. There are also a LOT of "Ptwings" for the taking, but will Eli manage to grab them all? Also, Paul and Eli take a deeper than expected dive into the world of "Irn Bru" the famous Scottish soft drink that has quite the history! Somehow this segment involves a visit to both the Frothshop AND the Soda Jerk Store. Kinda. And if you like us, why not support us: www.patreon.com/cheapshow Share & Enjoy.

Oh hello. The voice is on now. No? Yes.

How have you just say hello as if it was normal? I did. Hello. Well, two things I don't want you to say.

Hello. No, that's fine. No, and that's fine. I kind of say no, and that's fine.

Don't be a cunt. Oh, I won't say that though. No, I haven't started listening to things. No, I'm not.

Two things. Hello. And Mr. Silverman.

What's this together? No, I said together. No, I can say Silverman. I can say hello.

I can't say hello. I can't say hello. You can't say that phrase. That phrase is way out.

So can I say? That's the boat and can I say no? You shall not say the verbating phrase. But what I'm saying is it's just Mr.

Silverman. I can't say it. But I can say Silverman. Yes.

Right. So I have said hello, Mr. Silverman. You're ready.

Yes, it's me. Hello, Mr. Boys and Girls. No, that's the other thing.

I didn't want you to fucking say boys and girls. Mr. Boys and Girls. There's been quite a lot of positive feedback on that.

So what about you saying boys and girls? Yeah. Hello boys and girls. Mr.

Boys and Girls and ladies and gentlemen or whatever it is. Oh, you said Mrs. Mr. Yeah.

Mr. Yeah. I like Paul. I've lost the wheel to even fucking exist.

Excellent. We are 40 seconds into notice. I was yesterday. Yeah.

Hello. It's the economy comedy podcast. A few years ago, actually. It's the economy show podcast about kind of gave up, gave up on personal hygiene.

Can I can I do? No, you're not allowed to do the intro of some sort of description before we get into your massive aimless ramblings of verbal nonsense, please. I haven't said anything nonsense. You haven't said anything nonsense.

Not yet. That counts as you saying something nonsense ago. You know what? I've put the nonsense in the back pocket nonsense.

I'm packing it like the Azir woman. Yeah. She puts her change. She saves that for a deal go or whatever.

Here we go. Fuck it. She's fucking what's her life? She just buys food for the kids.

What's the Azir woman's life? You're on your own, Mr. Ladies and gentlemen. I'm stepping up.

Go on. I've gone. I've gone. I've gone.

I've taken the nonsense. It's in the back pocket. Yeah. The nonsense will come out.

Hello. I'm a nonsense. Ooh. Squib, dongle, etc.

But I'm putting him back in. No, no, don't put me back in. Just get warm black balls. So what have we got coming up?

Is this warming up? I just have to get the whole family. Ooh, the family brown grains. Right.

Okay. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go. The Economy Comedy Podcast. We go for the bargain into charity shops.

Oh, no. What else do we go through? There's ours. There's ours.

Rummages. Rummages sales. Rummages sales. Double sales.

Bargain basements. Power lands. Women's. Anyway, you pick cheap things.

Women's Institute Jam. Saw. Women's Institute Jam saw. They're always out.

They're a great band, by the way. They're at Jamble Sales, aren't they? They've always bought themselves jam. For the women's Institute.

Traditionally. Right. You ever bought a ladies' jam? Oh, I'm generals selling their medals.

Yeah. Or bastard. Oh, I can't make rent. I've got a selfie.

George Cross. Yes. Modern Britain for you ladies and gentlemen. Modern Britain.

What else is there? Sprung up. Phone shops within larger discount stores. Right.

We go to those. Phone repair places inside discount hardware shop. Oh, hey. Hello.

Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.

If you're having a little thing there, I can get the nonsense out. No. I can get it out. No one's getting it out.

Right. So here's some actual news for you. A little while ago we had to close the PO box. Long story short, it was more for cheap than this.

That's the whole thing that you're not allowed to say anymore. What? Right. And number five.

I've just thought of it. The only talk number four is yet. And the three didn't exist. Long story short.

Long story short. Long story short. Long. Yeah.

No, I'll give you that. Yeah. I'll give you that. I'll give you that.

Don't fucking say it no more. The other one. The other one. I'm going to put a six one on.

The Saurus. The Saurus. The Saurus. Theosaurus.

I don't think they did. The sixth thing is the point being. That's another thing. I noticed that.

When I'm editing this podcast, I'm just saying, Shut up with the point being. Anyway, the point being is that we are we have a new PO box. We certainly do. We've taken on the responsibilities of off digitized hands.

But if you want to send stuff to digitize it, you still can. To this new PO box address, which will be on our website. But here it is. Send stuff to anything you like.

That's a weird address. Yeah, it is actually anything you like. It's a weird town. Anything you like.

They got their own like rules. They sort of declared independence from a rest of Britain. Anything you like. You go in there.

There's some old granny fucking a pig down the road. With a strap on. Right. Oh, Mr.

Skringle. The pig's got a strap on. Yeah. And the granny.

This is not necessary. This is not necessary content. It's a careening down the hill. Or necessary content.

Oh, he turns your friend. He goes. He's just going to say this is not necessary content to move on. Oh, right.

They've escaped. The nonsense. They focused. Let's stay focused.

Cheap show. PO box 1309. Harrow. H-A-1-9-Q-J.

G'ry. What would be the opposite of goodbye if you said it like Harrow? Hello. No.

If you say Harrow and then I say, Good-ry. Good-ry. Good-ry for now. So, yes.

Send us anything you fancy really. I need to put on. I need to put on. He's doing the hand.

I've got to get this out. I've got to do Daddy hands. I've got to read out the PO box. No.

I love your voice. It's Red House. You can read it at the end. Right.

Yeah. But now I just want to put some rules out there. If you send a price of shite, please have two separate bits of paper. One with the items and then one with the items and their price.

Because sometimes I get a bag and a full of stuff and I don't know in the mix of prices. Yeah. So we'd like to curb that. So please, if you do send a price of shite in, do it by that means.

Secondly, put your name on things. Sometimes you get really cool stuff. And then I go, oh, it's from here. No, we can name on.

So please put your name on. So we can extol to you. Is that right? Exalt?

Exalt, yeah. Exalt is a combination of different things into one mass of some kind, isn't it? Exalt, entity. Enthity, gestalt, gestalt.

I've used gestalt. I've used gestalt on that. So there's no such word as ex-talt. There may be.

I'm going to find out. It'll be some kind of philosophical technical. Ex-talt. I'm going to write it.

Ex-talt. No, won't find it. How would it be spelled? Ex-t-O-L.

Ex-talt. Ex-talt. There's ex-talt, which is to praise enthusiastically. Which brings us back to the point of this.

I just waited one minute. Ex-talt it. Ex-alt it. Ex-alt it.

I want ex-talt it. There's no ex-talt it. This has got to be one of the worst bits. Oh, it might be.

It's a good chance of that. Right. So, coming up on the show today, we are doing a nice cheap pizza as well. That's coming up on the show today.

And Mr. E-O. Mr. Silverman.

Have you been? Hello. Oh. I feel a bit joyless and flat, Paul, actually.

I think probably not alone in that. Would you like a tickle for Mr. Secret Hand? Not Mr.

Secret Hand. That's what I call my arm now. That has a secret attached. I don't know the answer to the secret.

All I know is that it's the arm of a prisoner. We don't know. He could have been done for... He dropped tattoo, signified, killing a man.

Does it? Yes. I did not know that. And it's covered in him.

There's a whole row of him. No, that's not too. One of those teardrops has got a little bit of writing on it. It says this bastard deserved to die.

Right. That doesn't seem practical from the murder's point of view to go for the effort of putting a teardrop on that. He's in prison for life, wasn't he? He's in prison for life.

Paul barged to smoke 20 packs a day. And his arm had to take an arm. And again, I've lost you to nonsense. Really?

You're all ready, Greg? I bought a life for this arm outside. Well, just how do you think he lost his arm? The point being that I don't want no tickles or joshes or any strokes from your fucking murderers arm.

You might not have an option. I can't control what it does. It just comes to life. He's wobbling it around.

It comes to life with a wobble. Right. Let's do that then. Hey, it's cheap show time.

Hey! Oh, mister. Do you want to buy a book of matches? Not the days are.

Oh, I'm so angry. Oh, yeah, my am. Oh, I wish I'd get some sweet. Oh, tingly tingly tingly tingly tingly tingly.

What is that? I see before my young, cupcake eyes. It's a sweet shop. The old E-Froff shop.

Oh, I'll be a gourd E-blammer. I'll go over there. I'll be a gourd E-blammer. Oh, I'll be a hate this sandwich.

I'll go over there. Oh, it's cold. I hope they'll give me some sweets. Maybe I'll give them one of these books and matches.

They've only been at my last two days. They get sodden out in the cold. Just coming to shop. Please just coming to shop.

It's fucking audition reading you're doing right now or whatever it is. It provides piece of theatre. It's not working for me. Oh, don't be so mean.

I'll go in the shop. Here I go, walking across the snowfield streets of Victoria. I'm not doing sound effects for that. Tingle-ing-ing-ing-ing-ing-al.

Oh, it's a callucopia of sweets in here. And here's the shopkeeper of old froff shop. Oh, mister Tim Oldman. Oh, hello.

Ah, yes. Welcome into my... I've got enough to do the voice. What was the voice for the Snaviditl thing?

You did that. I do the voice. And that was more of an I'll do the voice. You can't go to the section.

We haven't thought this through. No, we never do. Alright, we're in the fucking froff shop. Hello.

I've got all things set up where I was going to be the old man who ran the sweet shop and then you were going to be the one... I don't know why the version even had to appear. Well, you've got all sorts of... I'll just do a little scene to sort of...

I'll be still. Ah, yes, coming little boy. Ah, yes. We have some interesting candies today, especially if you like your soda popsies.

Ooh, I love that. I love sweets. Can you ever get them? Because I'm so poor on the streets selling paper.

Well, it's no substitute for real food, but it's all the same as the boy. Oh, the match is. The head's off the match is. And then when I fart, it goes...

Hey, pal. I like a little thing. Don't you worry about it. I'll get the camera.

I'll wrap all the loose ends. Cut too. I put matches up my arse. You and me are in the back rooms so that me, Eli and Paul can be in the shop and just taste these fucking sweets.

Right, well in that case. Right. Okay. And scene.

Do it again. Ah, yes, little boy. Ah, how are you today? Ah, come in.

Very hungry. Ooh, I've only been... Oh, licking no spaders. Right.

Here's a packet of jelly bellies. Fuck off. Alright. Bye.

Tinglinglinglinglingling. Right. Good. Right.

Right. What we got, mate. Right. So we did have this idea planned and we abandoned it.

We're kind of going on. So, um... We have a theme kind of today. Now, I don't have the details of whoever sent me this.

I think it's the person who also sent a price of shite which we'll get to a bit later. I think it's someone called Kyle. I might be wrong. If whoever's listening to this recognises the candy, where about to eat on the show, please get in touch and we'll give you full credit next time you record.

A little bit of detective work here, Paul. Yes. Kyle, Scottish name. Isn't it?

And these are overwhelmingly Scottish things. 50% of what we're going to do today is of Scottish origin. I guess you could argue. And you know what?

We've never really so far on the show talked about this lovely... Oh, brain. Talking about brain. I can do nonsense a bit while you've just reset your brain.

Come on, mate. Two episodes of like you recorded. We're not doing very well. I'm coming back.

There we go. Good. So we're talking about something from Scotland which is quite popular and we haven't talked on in the show. I don't think in any real detail before until now.

Aaron Brew. Aaron Brew. That's your note. It's lovely with white teeth and giant shoulder pads.

It's a bit of a shame. Now, do you like Aaron Brew? I've done a massive job. Do I like Aaron Brew?

I'm a bit on the fence about Aaron Brew, Paul. Yeah. I find it hard to distinguish from Tizer. No, it's in the mouth.

In the mouth? Yeah. When it's in your mouth, it all takes the same. Maybe it does take different from Tizer, but I haven't actually formed that memory.

You know what I mean? It's just like one of those ones. Vimto. That's very distinctive.

Yes, Vimto has a slightly florid black currency fruit flavor thing. You know what I mean? Floral. Floral.

Not florid. What's florid? No, we're not doing that. Florid is like when you're flushed, I believe.

No, florid language is like what we talk all the time. Oh, yeah. Fanny lips. No, that's the florid language.

I say, it's just confanny lips. Oh, it is. I'll give you a bit more. Come on.

Right. Another five seconds of florid language by me. Mr. Boy's a kill-sill man.

I can't up the flap. Grind it. Snuffle nose. That's tasty sweet.

Come on. I need to stop my gob. You might not be aware of either UK. There's a popular soft drink in the UK called, Iron Brew.

And to me, the flavor is very kind of like bubble gum. You know what people think of artificial bubble gum flavored things? That to me is what it tastes like. It's a fruit flavor.

It's one of these generic fruit flavors that we come across so often. Wicked Peation says, Scottie, Iron Brew is a Scottish carbonated soft drink. Often described as Scotland's other national drink. What do you think the other national drink of Scotland is?

It's very much whiskey. It's produced in Westfield, Combinalled, North Lanakshur by AJ Bar of Glasgow. And it was invented. When do you think it was invented, Iron Brew?

I'd say maybe the 1930s. Earlier. Oh, yeah. 1901.

Wow. So it is literally like Coke or, you know, one of those ones that goes back all the way to the very dawn of soft drinks. Yeah. I never thought they were all imported.

I wonder if there's anything else, there's an earlier soft drink from the British Isles. Well, there would have been things like dandelion and bird. I guess. That didn't become a brand, didn't it?

No, that is a flavor. That's not a brand. I'm talking about things like Coke, which started as a tonic. I don't know what you mean.

You're talking about actual brands. I'm very interested as to what they started. Did it start off just as a drink? Or did it have some kind of tonic?

I'll tell you what. I'll have a little overview. Early history. The first Iron Brew drink was produced by Matt's and Goldstein, chemical company of New York in 1889 on the name of Iron Brew.

There you go. The drink was imported. I didn't know that. The drink was popular across North America and was widely copied.

Was that before Coke or around the same time? What's around the same time? What's around about the same time? I think Coke was 1886.

I believe it was something. A similar beverage was launched in 1898 by London Essence firm, Stevenson and Howell, who supplied soft drink manufacturers in the UK in colonies. Many local bottlers around the UK began selling their own versions of the beverage. The fact that you've actually launched it for bars, Iron Brew, being 1901, the firms AJ Barr and Co.

and Robert Barr jointly launched their own Iron Brew drink at least two years earlier. According to documents in the firm's archive, it indicates the drink was already enjoying strong sales in May 1899. So what that's telling me, Paul, is it almost like starting off as a sort of just a flavor or a type, like Coca. But then Barr's got a hold of it and then they sort of copyrighted it.

The aversion of that. That's the only one that survives. You don't think of Iron Brew as like they're being Pepsi Iron Brew. Or they're coals, aren't they?

Because they're fundamentally coalers first based on the tonics and all the blah blah blah ingredients. But this is Iron Brew. It's a fruit carbonated drink and that's different because it's more in line then with a dandelion and burrok. Interesting that there was lots of different versions.

And Barr's, I believe, we've tasted some Barr's stuff like their cream soda and stuff and it was terrible, wasn't it? No, well, it depends. It depends. It depends.

Because Barr's is like, many old days, blah blah blah 80s, you bought your bottle of bar of soft drink and you took the bottles back the next day and got money off of it. I wasn't aware of that. Okay, so they did have a wide range of soft drinks that they do. Yeah, like I was wearing because like orange aid, lemonade, color, soft cream soda, those kind of drinks.

And now it's all pineapple aid and cherry aid and all these. They do still have a range of soft drinks. They do. Yeah.

And so there's also Schweppes. But they were popular because you bought the bottle in your corner shop and then you talk about the next day when they're empty. You got two P back or whatever. They're recycling the glass bottles.

I think what's interesting is Schweppes, didn't they invent or they they patented the carbonation system itself. I don't know about that. I wonder they were involved with early carbonation. And so I wonder whether it was Fizzy at first.

I am Britt. It doesn't save us carbonated drink. The first advertisement that featured the strong name on the cover, which is the icon that goes along with it. That was in 1900.

And that's also found in Fulk Herx Global History Archives. The trademark application for the brand name was 1946 with a drink was still off sale because of wartime regulations. The firm first commercialized their drink during this new name in 1948 once called an STI consolidation of the soft drink industry had ended. Because they basically made a way to time making soft drinks during the war to stop it and do this instead.

Yes, make guns. That's interesting because it says on the logo on the bottle pool, original and best. And that seems to imply that there were other iron brews. Yes.

You see what I mean? This is the original iron brew. It's slightly different formulas because there's no guarantee that the iron brew that was first sold in New York tasted anything like that. It's the Wild West of fucking soft drink manufacturing.

Back then. Because you could buy fucking Coca-Cola full of Charlie. You did try it out on a plate. You put it on a plate on top of your oven.

Try it out. Chop chop chop chop. No, you can't. Like you do with ketamine.

Can you free base Coca-Cola as well then? Heat it up on a spoon. Oh, that's what free base. You get it on a sticky note.

Free base refers to. Yeah. But three bases. What you would do is you cook powder cocaine with baking soda.

Like in an oven or in a microwave. And then it bonds part of the chemical of the baking soda to the cocaine sulfate, I believe. And that makes it smokable. Keeps you.

The only podcast that can go from that makes it smokable. I'm brew to how to free base cocaine. The whole crack explosion was when people were free basing, turning cocaine into free base. On a sort of on a manual on a what you call industrial scale.

Right. Okay. Because usually it would be a pain in the arse and people used to burn down their house while trying to free base. Do you see them in?

Oh, yeah. Yeah. And you hear all those little houses blowing up and stuff. Yes.

So then when they really got it when they got. I think there was some technique of manufacturing crack, which meant that you could just buy it ready, smokeable. Ready, smoke crack. Yeah.

Yeah. According to Robert Barr, OBE chairman between 47 and 1978. There was also a commercial rationale behind the unusual spelling of iron brew. Because we all know it's IONN-B.

Iron. Iron. Iron brew had come to be understood as a generic product category in the UK. Whereas adopting the name of iron brew allowed the firm to have a legally protected brand identity that would enable the firm to benefit from the popularity of their wartime adventures of Brabru comic strip advertising.

Iron brew name has continued to use for many versions of the drink, sold by rival manufacturers, which is why when you buy knockoff it is about iron brew. Oh, you can't get it. Okay. So it is a generic term.

So similar to Dandelion and Blowdock. Dandelion and Blowjobs. So that great break film. Hippie porn.

That sounds like a dirty record that the words will make. Right. Yeah. Who are Dandelion and Blowjobs?

I'm Dandelion and Blowjobs. You're going to get it right. Oh, we've got Dandelion and Blowjobs. You'll get down on her knees and I will pop into her mouth until she jokes.

And she's a pig. Right. Okay. So on that basis.

Yeah. Don't get away with stuff. I bought the vine brew. So apparently in the note, they said, this is the wash our mouth out between the tastes of what will be used.

Should we do a little taste test of iron brew? I'll let you taste it because you know COVID and blah blah blah. Now, before we go look at this, I want to see it's got asputainment. Aspame.

It does. It's not it's not it's it's this is the big controversy in that too because of the sugar tax in the UK and saving money. They got rid of all the sugar from my and bring a place that with this stuff and there's this someone familiar with cheap show who loves iron brew and they can't drink it now because it's a size. The same as the average.

Yeah. So now she can't drink a drink. So she's been stockpiling whatever's left of the original for a lot of money like cases of the original. It's similar to what happened with Coke and new code.

But in fact, they're not going to go back. They're never going to go out. Grim derps art online. There you go.

Just want to check out. So have a taste of that. Now I tasted this not too recently and it's it's I'm brew esque and the fake. Sugar shit puts me right off it now now Paul just for this segment.

We're in the frost shop. Main hall of this frost shop. You're gonna have to go sneak around through the door to the left is the soda. So the joke.

So the joke. So the joke. Yeah. And you're gonna have to go in there.

So shall we? No. Yes. I'm walking around the corner opening a door.

There's the there's the so we joke. Oh, guys. Oh, thank you very much. Oh, what have you got for us today?

So we're gonna. I gotta I gotta hunk a burning soda. Oh, give me a sandwich. It's as bad as anything you've done.

Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.

Oh, no. You can't do it. You can't do it either. Just because you're bad.

Anyway, here we are. You're bad. Mr. Sodja.

Oh, thank you very much. What would you like? I'm not a time bro. Oh, here you go.

Thank you. Oh, no. Tonight. Bye.

What a waste of time. Now, I'm gonna taste this time. You taste it. Tell me what you think of it because I think it's noticeable.

The flavor change. I'm gonna give it half. Oh, it does have a distinct. You imagine that end of a fridge because I see any time I ever really drank it properly was when I went to the end of a fridge and just drink I'm just wondering if I do other parts of Britain.
