Hello, welcome to another episode of Cheep Show. This is Paul Gallon saying hello. Before we start, this is something different. I thought we'd try and do, meaning like getting out and about and visiting a car boot sale and taking our interesting brand of comedy and podcast out into the real world.
Now, with that in mind, if you liked it, tell us. And also, one of the things I wanted to mention just on top of the show is that we are thinking of asking for money. I know, right? Cheep Show being cheap and all that.
But we think this is like a Patreon. And we want to give rewards out and offer things to people for donating because that's amazing. It doesn't take much roster on this podcast, but we're thinking if we can cover our costs and maybe use it to buy things for the show for cheap eats or for a PO Box or you to send things to, that's kind of what we're thinking. We're not thinking about buying Eli a Golden Toilet.
Although, now that I've mentioned it, he may want to Golden Toilet. But anyway, if you have any ideas what you'd like us to do for Patreon, get in touch with us at the Cheep Show Poly is our Twitter account where you can reach out to us there and get us suggestions on our email, thecheepshow at gmail.com. Get in touch with us there and tell us what you'd like us to do for Patreon. We'll try and get an idea of the feedback on that.
Now, I'm gonna show up and offer all that. Here's the episode. We hope you really liked it. We had a lot of them making it and we'd like to make more.
Hello and welcome to a very special edition of Cheep Show. Well, not that special. We're just not doing it in a studio. And with Eli, hello.
You look like shit, mate. Oh, well, I haven't said... LAUGHTER Do that again. Ask me the questions again.
You're right, Eli. Yeah, that's a question. That's your ask someone politely. Not you look like shit.
Now, we're gonna start the show with you look like shit. You don't look like shit, though. You look tired. I'm tired.
You like the most tired line in the world. I have not slept very well because we had to get up for this fucking shit. And also, I'd just like to say, any aspect of today's show that is a competition, I should have some kind of sleep deprivation, deprivation, handicap. Yeah.
So I win. Right, exactly that. As long as that's understood. Right, OK, it's understood.
So here's the plan. Right, here's what we're doing. We have decided that on a lovely, grey Sunday morning in London. Eli and I will go to a...
Is it a carpet sale or something? An ear-cobboard sale, yes. In a Holloway Road in London. They don't have any markets in this culture.
No. All right, so stop trying to Americanise the part. Fuck's sake, I just thought that was the phrase for it. It's not the...
What? And then we go to the 7-11 and get a big slurpee or something. You're fucking right, Tardy this morning. Well, I have not.
OK. Expect some vinegar and I will win. Yeah, so we're at Eli's flat in London. I stayed the night.
Eli was DJing all night. Tales from the dance floor. You met someone who said they could have a birthday suggestion and you said no and they were a bit upset. Well, yes, you've nicked my bit.
So, just get out of the way. So you've had like, what, three, four hours sleep? Yeah, in the round before or five. I'm not very rested.
Well, we'll not be out long too. No, I'll say that again. We'll not be long out. We'll not be too long.
We're not going to be long outside. So you can come back and have a little bit. I'm going to be short as fuck outside. Oh, yeah.
So, what you need to do right now is lay out the label land out. Yeah, lay out the label land out. So lay out the label land out. Right.
So we are going to a car boot sale in Holloway Road. It's open every Sunday. Free entry, which is good. And it's basically a little car boot sale where everyone gets shit from their house, put it on a table usually used for a flying paste to wallpaper.
What do they call it? Workman's table. Yeah, Workman's table. And then they put all this shit out and then you buy it.
Some people are professionals. Oh, yeah. You get dealers who deal stuff, don't you? Yeah.
I'm quite excited. I've never been. Never been to one of these. I've never been to a car boot sale.
I've never up this time in the morning. It's always on the weekends, you know? Yeah, well, see, they could do it. See, anyone can fucking do it.
Necklace has to be Sunday. That's when they're open. Otherwise, it makes no sense. So we're going to go.
We're going to investigate what you can get at a public sale in London. But to make it a bit more fun. Eli and I are going to have a little challenge. We're going to have a budget of five pounds each.
And we're going to try and find there's very interesting items for a five as possible. Right there. And then what? Then we'll.
Who wins? How do you? Yeah. Because obviously we know I've pulled you to five.
So we're not going to go over that. It's not going to be a guessing game, is it? Of the price. Well, you could do a little price of shot.
We could do a little price of shot. Let's just make it two price of shot. A price of shot off. And then between us, we'll decide who did best.
Yeah. And that will be arbitrary. It will be myself. Why?
Because I didn't get my sleep. So the handicap will just kick in. We need to have some grand rules. What's more, you will buy Ghostbusters stuff.
Maybe there is some. You'll buy vinyl. That would be. Cherlish.
Cherlish. No. Right. OK.
I shouldn't buy vinyl. I shouldn't buy vinyl. I should. No.
Maybe if I see a very interesting piece that fits the format as in racist nostalgia record. Because I'm not going to sell it. I'm not going to sell it. I'm going to wear a hungam from the tree.
No. Novelty. Yeah. Doggie.
Unplenty. Okay. Anything by Bruce E. Well, he's got a Louvre to pick from.
You never see his singles. No. No. He must have had some.
Probably. Or his part of those albums where it was like live in the London Palladium. Track seven, Bruce E. Yeah.
You'd have to buy that. How would you smell that? I think it's a YJ BBIBB. Okay.
So we're going to have a little price of shine off. We won't have to return to that. We can't buy stuff for ourselves. Right.
Because we're trying to impress the other with what we buy. So you could buy one excellent thing and buy five small cool little things. Or vice versa. So it's going to be a bit of a contour by quantity.
It's going to be quality. And it's going to be we've got to step back and say for a fiver. That's a little fine. Okay.
Right. Yeah. We'll never agree and I'll win. Just to let our listeners know where we are.
Yeah. We are in the ante room to the House of Pickles. Who am I? Lovely flat.
Yeah. In Harringay. You've got any of this. It's things in here.
Yeah. It's a slight nip of that. So what? So you what?
It looks like the flat from bottom right now. Yes. But what am I not? Provably.
A tramp. Thank you. Well, I was going to say you can't be a homeless person Paul if you have a home. Yeah.
And my home is the House of Pickles. Which is just over there. Yeah. Yeah.
I know. Although your House of Pickles smells more like Doritos. Like quite light odour. Yeah.
You know when you just finished a packet of cheese Doritos and you sort of sniff the pack. I was like is it a Doritos smell or is it the processed Doritos smell? You know when you've had a big bag and then you go to bed and you wake up in the morning to find you've had nitrumps? No, it's not a far tea smell.
No. It's not that kind of cheesy Doritoey farty. Do you know what I haven't never seen? You know what I haven't never seen.
You haven't never seen. You haven't never seen. Gurgin crisps. Oh, okay.
Who's missing a trick? Well if you're listening Mr. Walkers. I bet there are.
That'd be a great addition to the House of Pickles and Pickle flavor. Like your room does not need any more pickle and it really doesn't. Your room is pickled. Right.
It's the House of Pickles. You've got the only human being I know who has a pickled body. I don't have a pickle. Stop.
It's just constant attack. I'm tired. I'm doing this. Should we just get ready?
Give it a go. Okay. We need to go. Okay.
We might have missed all the best bargains already. We'll give you a report once we are in situ. In situ. Right.
We're off. How's the weather Eli? It's cold. Very cold.
It's cold. It's that kind of cold that creeps into your bones. Sober's your inner. I thought I didn't.
You fucked that up. You fucked that up. So. In a piece.
It's grey. Very grey day. But we'll just get some cash out. We'll get the boss from Eli's top secret abode.
How are we getting green lines? To Nag's head. Hollow way. And it's number 29.
Good. Famously one of the Bendy buses. There are Lord and Saviour Boris Johnson who got rid of. Although we're not getting the 29.
That's a Bendy boss though. They stopped doing that. A long time ago. Because they were lethal.
That's what I was trying to say. Boris got rid of them. After bringing them in. No.
Ken brought them in. Oh. Tell you what outside of the UK or even London. That's not going to be more interesting for you.
You guys trying to give the podcast card? I'm trying to give it colour and feedback. I mean background. I'm going to get some cash out.
Do we need to get that 29? No. It's coming every two minutes. Alright.
Okay. I can go. Update. Just about to get the boss.
Oh you've got your money. Oh good. I'm going to have to top of my oyster because I left my contactless debit card in the house. So are you going back to the house?
Literally left the house two minutes ago and there's already problems. I'll just top up my oyster. Alright. We're getting food or coffee or anything.
Yeah we might as well do that at the same time. Yeah. Let's do this. So about to get the boss now.
We've got a coffee. You got a full meal. It's very nice. Thank you.
Well I had some. And this will be of interest to some of our more economicising listeners. That's not a word. That's not a word.
That's my job. I haven't had much sleep. But yes. More economically minded listeners will be interested to know that I cash in on a loyalty card in my local coffee Emporia.
Emporium. And a shout out to you. I was in my pool. That was nice.
Very impressed by this. Now immediately I was interested in altruism. Yes. And I'm suddenly feeling a lot perky than about a minute and a half ago because of this fine fine coffee.
Good. And the boss is going to get to see it now in the 29 taking us on route to our destination. Which is on a way road, car boot sale every Sunday. Every Sunday.
Free. Hopefully. Some of the ones I looked at had quite a nominal entrance fee like 30p and stuff or early entry was like a quid or two. Oh yeah before.
I've seen that though. I'll talk about your legs about seeing that in action. It's going to be cool. You get there.
Scrumage. I'll get the boss. Let's get up. Right.
We're on the boss. Nearly at the boss stop. Very exciting. We're almost there.
We're just going past the Michael Sobel Sports Centre. Who's my sort of bell? He's Sobel. I have no idea but I do know that I once tried to attend a rave there and got mugged.
Just on that wall down there. Oh I see. How much did they take? I didn't have any money.
He just took my gay view cache. No. Not funny. Come on.
I'm trying to add colour and you're just being a dick. So yeah. He just took my ticket. Which is a turn out to be lucky because it's notorious rave.
And about three people got stabbed. Oh wow. So you did get to get me the result. You did not get stabbed.
Yes. I just went home and cried. No. I was on drugs.
Well there you go. A bit of colour for you ladies and gentlemen. So just to update the ladies and gentlemen. We are going to the car boot sale.
We each have five pounds to get interesting stuff. And then we will play the price of strike with that stuff. So there's two contests. There's the artistic contest.
Who gets the best. Bargains. Interesting items. It's all a subjective choice that we won't agree on but I will win.
And then you made that a bulling fucking play. The price of strike is an actual contest. Played by the rules. Two Points on the nose.
One point within 50p. Right. Okay. Good.
And how we cleared that up. Right. We are getting off it. Like the dream right now.
Okay. Pops. Do you have any colourful stories about a Holloway? No.
Nothing. No interesting stories where you've pissed chat. It's plugged. Anything like that.
I told you the story Paul. I told you the story Paul. I said stop. What?
Have you got? You know what I mean? This is out of the blue. I'm just realising that if we don't give some content that could be a very short podcast.
I'm just trying to add in bits of our journey. This is us walking now through Holloway. Past the Odian cinema where opposite is where the car boot sale is. I can't see anything there.
No, it's down in alleyway isn't it? So I think we have to go down in alleyway coming up on the right hand side now. That's what we'll see. So that's the plan.
Hopefully it exists. If it doesn't exist what do we do? We've got a plan B. We'll just go to a charity shop.
That's not the fucking point. This is market car boot open. There's sign. Everyone's going in.
We spotted it now. Right. Okay. It's very exciting stuff.
Past the netwes. It's in a school. Y'all, that's all we didn't like. Right.
Let's go in. Let's have a little quick look at our surroundings and report back up obviously so far. Alright then. Okay.
What's on offer just generally speaking? What were your first impressions therefore? I was a bit depressed. Yeah.
It's a great day and there's lots of second hand shoes and bin bags and stuff. It's very much your bin bags for sale. Yeah. I mean, I felt sad walking through.
So this is a great episode. Yeah. I'm going to get depressed. There might be some ice bits in there though.
We just don't know. We might be trying some treasure. Yes. I'm hoping to find some prime shite and put it in your face.
Right. Okay. I'm going to get a coffee. I need a coffee and another Greg's.
Yeah. It's amazing. Listen, Paul just knows where Greg's is. He's got a Greg's star.
I home in on it. He just knows in his gut. He's got his waters pointing to Greg's. Yes.
So that's what we're going to do and then we're going to start our report. Have a little look around. So you've got your recording system. So you'll record your thoughts as you go around.
Okay. Alright. Yeah. Okay.
And five pounds. Yeah. You can tell you're recording the fights what you bought because until I edit this. I won't know what we bought until the end.
So it'll still be surprised. Okay. And I'd just like to make one thing clear. I've got two items.
Alright. I've won the moral victory. Alright. That's fair enough.
You may have won in terms of getting an item you like. But that's not the game. That's not the game. That is not the game.
Alright. So, okay. After Greg's. Anyway, Greg's.
Greg's. In a horrible, in a horrible ten of events Greg's was found to be closed on a Sunday and I forgot that fact. Your waters didn't warn you. I feel like I've let myself down.
Yes. So where are we? Paul. As an alternative.
Lucky Donald. I'm getting a lot of money. My coffee mate. Okay.
You've already had one. I've purchased for you. So it's not good enough. So there's Suck It.
Okay. Gannon gets what Gannon wants. Yes. Gannon gets sugar in his bellbell.
So now I've got a ticket from a number. 97. Waiting for a coffee. Now it's like you have a type of an Argos now.
No, it's like being at the doctor's or something. Dr. Burger. Dr.
Big Michael see you now. We like it. Right. So this is it.
We're in. We've got our coffee. He has got his big Mac and we're about to venture back into the market and have a little look around and see what we can find. So let's see what we can find and find some gold amongst the gristle.
I win. Stop seeing and a win. You might not. Alright.
We'll be right back here in what? 15, 20 minutes? No, no. Let's give it half an hour.
Like they're doing bargain. Half an hour. I've got bargain. Well, that's what we're doing.
It's that one we do. Alright. Half an hour back here. And then I'll see you in the market.
Am I lucky? Yes. We can make eye contact. No, no eye contact.
But I can see you. You should buy our indifference. Let's get going. Okay.
So here I am. I've already spotted some soft toys. They're not interesting. They're a monkey.
And also some toy story toys. Obviously they're going to be collectible from the eyes of the dealer. Probably out of my tranche. But I'm interested in a monkey plushie.
And I'll come back to that. So it seems to be in the electronics alley. Yeah. Sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. There's something. There's something. There's something.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Look at that. Okay.
So now I'm looking at this one very reasonably priced costume jewelry here. It rings 50p. You can look at some thermal socks and there's gloves. All sorts of stuff down here.
And not much in the weight of brick or brick, which is really much better. What I'll be looking out for. And they're quite a lot of new or packaged goods. And not all of the second hand stuff.
They're all out of the electronics. And what's really catch my eye is the plushies. The soft toys. And so I'm going to need to make a purchase at some point.
I over and out. Oh, I spotted. I spotted a small toy. Oh, I spotted the vinyl.
There's a whole stall of it here. I'm starting to tent in Moiten. And I'm just going to have to have a look and see if there's something. Which one get mocked for too badly in the sevens?
Perhaps a cheating novelty record with questionable products that I'm looking for. Right. Let's see if he lies. The final table, which he has.
I've spotted him. I think he's going to make it to the other side. How's it looking? Not good.
I've been, I've been way late. I know I've noticed. I'm just going to have to just buy some records. That's fine.
Sorry. So have you got anything yet? No, not yet. I will though.
Although I did do the stupid thing of trying to find my home and get coffee to say man, to point it on myself. I found some things. That's the one. What's that?
A rock with you and Michael Jackson. Yeah. I thought you had all this. I thought you had all this.
I don't. I've got a daughter coming up here. So yeah, I'm just going to get you back in and off and out. That was a zoom.
Yeah. Yeah. Fine. I'll go have a little.
I'll have a little mint. Thank you. Good. Okay.
I've been looking at records for five minutes now, wasting my time. And it is genuinely quite actually 70. I want to possess. So I don't think it's really in the spirit of this to continue with this.
So I'm just going to buy some and move on. I'm still empty handed and I don't know how all this doing. So hopefully not so good so far. So I've had a little bit of a round of stalls and interesting mix of things at the moment.
I've seen a table full of hammers, just a bag full of hammers on a table and a man. Selling hammers out of a bag. That's it. It really looks like he's just gone into old man's tool shed.
Grab where he could have stuck it in the bag and put it on a table. There is something I have seen that I might ask about the price, but I think he's going to overprice it. But also it is a view master, a little eyeset with a disc in and I want to see if he can get that. Unfortunately, I think that'll be, unless he's priced it wrongly.
Right. Unless he's underpriced it. I think I'm going to have to spend a pretty penny on that. I don't know if I even break a five or budget.
I don't want to do that. I don't want to walk away from one thing and it just be that one thing. I think Eli might actually do this on a pure appearance thing. But he walked past me and he's very guarded.
I don't think he's seen anything yet. But I reckon if he sees that view master too, there might be a bit of a push and pull between me and him on that. So I need to pull the trigger on it soon. If I go back there now and it's not there, I might need to pull the trigger on it.
Hey, how much is the view master? Four pounds. Oh, four pounds. Okay.
All right, cool. All right, sweetie. I might come back for that. Cheers.
Thank you. There's got any more discs in it. Do you want any one? Only the one.
All right. That's the thing. A friend of mine quite likes them. So I'm getting it more for the real than the actual thing.
Yeah. I'll be back for that. I want a bit of a budget today, but I'll have a little round of back. Cheers.
Oh, slim pickens. Slim pickens and dio went back and asked that view master had a little look at a vintage reel in. The view master itself. Quite new 1998.
Four pounds. Don't know what to do. Don't know what to do. Saw a little, uh, dillorian.
Little matchbox, dillorian there. Back to the future. Thought about getting that. What else?
What else? What else? What else? What else?
What else? There's a man selling in this order. A hammer. All of all.
And a silver dillow. And that was his whole table. Still though, this point is Eli at the vinyl desk. Looking at vinyl and he should be having his mind on the fucking ball.
Stupid little hairy bastard. I still think he's going to win this though. I need to pull my finger out. I need to buy something.
I need to commit to something. That's four pound. Can I get it for three? Can I get it for three?
I might get some change and say to him I've only got three quid when he's doing that. I'll do a bit of bargaining. I don't like this. So now back on track.
I purchased more vinyl than I'm planning on as is always the case. I have got my first item and it is something out of left field. It's a builder's pencil. And now I've come across some brickabrack.
And now this is in the classic round with a chite here. I'm having a look here. I'm having a look. I'm having a look.
I've got my second item now. And it's a lovely little pair of ashtray stroke sources. I'm staying with the McRibbit on a lovely terracotta two tone item. Kind of classy item that Paul doesn't have the eye.
Two spots. I bet you he thought something. We've got a device. It's not like DVD or game.
It's cheap. Nice divo. Piece of tatter. I'm feeling confident now.
One 50 in. Three times 50 left to go. I did see it. I did.
I did. I did. I wasn't going to go to the left. You haven't bought anything.
No. One 50 thing out. What thing? Recording device.
I used my phone right now. You haven't bought anything. I haven't lost cause I haven't. I haven't.
I'm almost finished. Looking at you. I haven't. I'm going to say you're recording that.
Yeah. You're in shrub shrub. Am I? Yes.
I'm owning it. Good. Isn't it, you know? Kind of like, it's kind of edge.
Edges of the... Kind of a good mannequin. It's like the first half hour of the film, Buster. Funnily enough, I was just looking at a full-torch record.
Yeah? Not going loco down in Acapole. Look at everyone's got that though. But, yeah.
So, two words. Yeah? Shrot on. It's been half an hour already.
Did not know that. Alright. Oh, let me show you this. What?
It's lovely. But it's completely... Is it that old radio? No, it's the old...
I feel it's a microphone. Is there any other microphones you see? No. Oh, I see, yeah.
I don't know if that'll even work now. No, it's what disconnected. I have nothing at the other hand. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
