Hello welcome to Cheap Show, I'm Paul Ganon and this week we're taking a week off from Cheap Show, I want to rest. So we're going to present to you one of our Patreon episodes called Nightbusting, but Eli what the ark is Nightbusting? Nightbusting Paul is a spin-off podcast from Cheap Show, the main body, the parent body, the parent, the bulbous parent body, the mother brain, the womb-like uber mum of Cheap Show has birthed Nightbusting, it's our spin-off podcast where we get on a specific Nightbusting in London Town and we record the journey on StWith. That would be close enough.
So we are, as we record right now, about to record a brand new one for our patrons. Shh, no you can only get access to that if you're a patron, but the one we're going to give to you. Four to year patrons. Yeah, the one we're going to give to you, we recorded almost a year or so ago, I think like March or something, maybe March or May.
In the middle of the year. Yeah, March or May last, last, twenty, twenty-five. This is the Night 89. And the Night 89?
Yes. Yeah, the Night 89. When you said the word Nighty absolutely threw me off at the way at the end of the day. The N89, thank you for that.
That's fine. And it goes, it is the Nightbusting, it goes from furthest outside of London. And we started in the East and we started it, but all together. But we started in Eryth.
All the way into Trafalgar Square where so many of the Nightbusting end up. But not tonight, but the one you'll be listening to, yes. So why not come with us back a year or so ago and join us? No, it was close to a year ago.
Six months, it might be like nine months, I think. Either way, it was a little time ago, but it was a warm night as well. We talked about a warm night, so on this chilly evening. It was chilly tonight, though, it was chilly tonight.
We'll remember that. Chicken tonight. Yes. I bet you could get chicken, chili, con con, any chicken tonight.
Anyway, without any further fucking ado, what we're taking back. Enjoy the episode. Let me take you back nine months or so to our trip on the N89. Take it away, boys.
Cheep, joke. Hello, everyone. My name is Paul Ganon and it's time for another edition of Nightbusting. We're Paul Ganon and Eli Silverman.
Get on a Nightbusting. And go Nightbusting. Now, for fucking weeks now, I've had Eli go, oh, where are we doing that? Person.
When we doing that, Person? Where do we do what we do today? Where do we do what we do today? No, do finally noises.
We do. We're adapting. We're changing. We're giving the audience what they want.
No. He's on the there, look, in that bag. He really are clueless. Just don't.
It's not what this is about, Paul. Anyway. Sometimes loose things. I saw you do exactly the same thing.
So you don't attack me about that. That's hypocritical. Just calm down. We're both here at the bottom.
Winding for weeks about doing Nightbusting. I've got other stuff to worry about, right? And all you care about is Nightbusting. So we're doing it finally.
After pulling it off and pulling it off, we're doing it. It's been hot. It's been hot the last few days as well. But today, the sky broke and let's cool it down a little bit.
But it's still a bit close. It's close, yeah. And here we are at the House of Pickles. And I thought we are leaving.
OK. You got it? Yeah, I'm good to go. Mate, I've been good to go for like an hour, genuinely.
OK. I've drained me, Liz. He's all empty now. We've planned to put in a bit of contingency here, haven't we?
I've put in a five minute. We've only just come up for 10 now. The app said leave about 10 past 10. So let's get ahead of it.
Yeah, let's get ahead of ourselves a little bit of wiggle room. Wiggle room. So what? Go on.
We've all gone on the back foot. We've been very close to missing. Yeah. Do you want to check it?
Oh, he's got it on his back. So it's one of these weird lights where you might get wet, but at the same time it's really warm out. So we can't really have a lot of clothes on, not layers. So we're off.
We're off. Here we go. Should we tell them the bus later? Right.
Yeah, it's one later. We'll tell you later. For now, we're setting off. What are they here today?
My name? The... It is. What is it?
I don't know. 12. It is Monday, May 12. The evening.
The bus or when is the bus will do to get? We just need to get to 29. They come all the time, so it's not really... Oh, 29.
It's nice and cool, but not too cool. As I say, it's close. Yeah, but it's not too bad right now. You don't get your chill, are you?
You've got a light jacket on. It's very kind of a nice. I like your light jacket. I'm glad I got it, because it's so light.
It means I feel cool if I get too nippy. Anyway, that was really getting very boring. I mean, I just complimented a jacket. Just leave it.
Leave it. No one knows. What's the no? Anyway.
We're not doing funny voices. I'm not doing that. Construction site overnight. Really?
Yeah, I did. I get picked up in the back of the van with eight other strange men you've never met before all on the same job. Now, let's go to Harangay, Putin. Yeah, let's see what we just put the credits in right now and get going.
Yeah, listen, we're off. It's another night of recording. We're going to get some provisions to get started, like some Red Bulls and stuff. And then after that, we're on to go.
So, night button, here we go. That's it. So, hello. We've got another one for one.
We've got another one for one. We've got another one for one. And we're outside Manner House Station. Where we'll be going.
Where? We're going to be doing a little bit, but this journey itself is in and of itself is going to be off the fucking effort. There's going to be a lot of pre-pods on this one. I get three.
Maybe. We'll see. I've got a bit of pre-pods coming off. I've got the toilet before.
It's what it is. It's what it is. So, here we are. We've got the Cape Line.
We'll just get my wallet out. There we go. And we're on the underground. Pick a dimmy line.
Put my other house. Go inside. That's right. All the way Kings Cross, we are going to be getting a Dartford bound train from Abbey Wood or something.
I mean, it's nuts. They are. They are. The bus that we're getting though is every 25 minutes outside of the leisure centre in Essex.
So, let's get this straight now, Paul. What is the safe word for tonight's night passing? Look, look at him. The brand is very tired everywhere.
Some of us have actual things to do all the time. And some people just wander around, they can pictures for their Instagram. They should be out. They should be out of any work.
I was working. I was working. DJing twice over the weekend. Is that not?
You're on the afternoon with us. Yeah, it looks like it. Anyway, trains have come in. Now are we going to change it?
Things we've got to work quicker, journey. Or just want to get this away to Kings Cross. I'm not sure. Do you think?
Do you trust it? I mean, at this point, you make it as well. You trust? In an extra change.
And it might not be ages. Look, I'll show you the actual rules. I'll just say, get to Kings Cross then, yeah? Well, this is what we need to discuss.
We are just looking at the room first. Let's look at the room first. If we catch the tutorial line changed, then we'll end up shaving about seven minutes off. Anyway, he's on his phone.
There's a scary van. The other end of the car is a long area. It looks like he might be a wiz-goer wall lock. He looks fine.
Does he? All right, Kings Cross, then we get the northern line at Kings Cross. So is that closer to the Vidri-Dili or to the Victoria platform? The northern.
Honestly, if we go into the Lizzie line, we might as well just get off on Vidri-Bark. It's like you two laps, we're going on a thing. We could change it, Victoria. I go to Victoria all the way to Lizzie line.
No, no, no. It's not what it's telling me to do. We're going to Morgan. We're getting the Lizzie line at Morgan.
So I ask you again, it's a simple question. Is the Victoria platform that we're becoming on? If we change it for this week bar, closer to the northern line platform that we want, or is the Vidili line platform closer? That's why I'm asking you.
I don't know. Or care. And you're too busy texting your mates now, so you don't seem to be engaged in this. What did you say?
You just said like, care? No, I'm just saying. I was lacking information. I'm getting off here.
Oh! I'm mixing this up. Oh, well, this is your decision Daniel. Yeah.
I told her that might have been too loud for anyone to understand what we were saying there. So I put my foot down and we're changing now to Victoria line. Here we go. How many blocks have you been in this?
Dream, we're just going to take this. The King's Cross. What's it? Now, it's coming now.
Alright, little this pissy prandemic, fizzy knickers. I have to text my name. So, sorry. King's Cross, six minutes, how you going to text me underground?
I have to just deal with this now. I'm sorry. So rude. See what I mean?
I'm totally present every single time we record this. And right now I'm going to leave him. I'm going to sneak over here. Because there's a, there's a pit.
There's a corridor between the two platforms. And there's a pit. Oh, here comes the train. I'll find that pit scary.
See? He's not invested. He just wants the attention. Talk to the audience who I care about.
You are being Mr. Pussy Prandemic. I'm not being Mr. Pussy Prandemic.
Listen, let's just get the King's Cross. Then we'll take it from there, right? OK, I agree with that. If that bit before was too noisy to get near anything, I'd put it out and you'd miss nothing.
Basically, Paul has gone maverick on this journey. And now we're doing the shortcut because it's basically quicker to get from Fin's Republic to King's Cross on the Victoria line than it is on the team. Take a few minutes off. Yes, but it's going to mess up all my timings.
Well, I don't care. Right, let's see you get a bit. We'll see you in a little bit. We'll see you in a little bit.
We'll get to King's Cross. Right, we're at the platform on King's Cross, Northern Line, waiting to go south. Some more gate. There's a couple of stops in the more gate, and that's when we join the Lizzie line.
We're going to get the Lizzie line all the way out to Abbey Wood. And then we go on to the main line, a dot foot bound train, or take us to our final destination before we catch the night bus. Bring us back here. Bring us back to Trafalgar Square.
And you know what night bus it is, Paul? Tell us. The 89. 89.
That's right. It's the 89. It's a proper night bus. It's the 89, but not the rear.
No, well, it's going to be after midnight anyway, isn't it? We couldn't be doing that. So you've been sitting on doing the SL7, which is also not a night bus. Yeah, but I've always said, I've always said, I've always said, you get it at night.
It counts. Fine, so then this would count if it wasn't a night bus. Right, so that's not what you said right now. Whatever I said right now is the opposite to be true to what you believe.
Exactly. I'm always going to be contentious. You want to know me? You're easily annoyable.
Paul, shut up. It's meant to be a good vibe on these podcasts. And you're just being a little bit comfy, aren't you? Look, it's because you've got a sweaty lip and you're all tired.
And I've worked all weekend. And most of last week, and no one thinks of Paul, he did four night shifts overnight last week as well. I did two nights off. Yeah, but you weren't getting over five a year, were you?
Yes. You drink, you'll give me play record, you don't have the stress and responsibility of live radio. So I'm just going to go ahead and say, the hour's a longer, the work is harder, but what I do is completely different and harder than what you do. It's not harder.
It's different. I don't think you could do what I do, but I think I could do what you do. That's just a despicable, horrible thing to say. I think that's true.
It's not true. You are not a skilled worker. No one claps for you during your pandemic lockdown. They don't clap for you either.
They never do. You're a horrible man. I'm not horrible man. I'm just tired of you thinking everything you do is off about you or equal value.
You're right. You really are. You didn't want to do that. I didn't want to do that.
I'm tired. He hasn't wanted to do it ever. No. He wants to stop the night passing series.
I just want to do it when I'm not running on everything. We've already put it off. As you said, we've put it off loads of time. Now, can you just...
You can give me grief about it? Every time you meet up everywhere. Not like a grief. Just dial down the nasty, please.
I can't promise that. Just dial it down there. Can't promise that. Now, do you want to hear about the night bus?
Now, what might change my mind? Do I get into my gummies later? Just eat them and shut your mouth. Let me talk...
I've got a parabola twin snakes. One side, sweet, one side, sowing. Oh, I've never seen those before. Poor.
No, I want to tell them. I want to tell them about the night bus. Now... I still haven't said when the next train is here.
I still think we should get outside. Just attack me and my lifestyle again and say you're basically better just because you're in a bad mood. Do you want to stay there for another two minutes? Do you think I'll feel really good about everything?
It makes you feel better, doesn't it? It doesn't really. I don't think I'm a family of petty people. Yes.
Horrible, petty, whining people by the sense of it. I think that's the luck you're skipping with my family. Yes. So don't bring that here, please.
Please don't bring that here. I think the fact that you make such a church of this means I just want to burn the church down. Of what night bus? It is a church.
This is my church. Anyhow, we have had... We've done some records on night busing. I'm not going to be a church.
I'm not going to be a church. I'm not going to be a church. I'm not going to be a church. I'm not going to be a church.
I'm not going to be a church. We have had... We've done some records on night busing. We've done the longest route in London, which was the SL7 to Heathrow from West Corridone.
We've done the longest night bus route in London, which is the 199, actually. Now this is, I typed in, what is the night bus that goes? London night bus that goes furthest out of town. That's what this one is.
We're starting with furthest point working back in. Yes, which is not in London, which is out east. It still counts as an end London bus and it's red. That's right.
So that's it. It's another landmark for once in a better word. Well, we do this. We found another excuse to get on a night bus.
So that's what we're going to be doing. I think the train's coming. So I'm going to put this away. I'll promise I'll be in a better mood.
Please. I'll just leave my sugar off. I'll have some twin snakes. I'll show you what boots I got.
I'll show you what boots I got. That sounds like a double-headed build. One side suite, one side. You make a whole film now.
Here it comes. Here it comes. I didn't say when it was going to be yet. Right, well now we can reach more gate.
We can change onto the easily newly built Elizabeth line. We like to call it Lizzi line. We're heading eastbound on the platform. A false sense of like distance.
It's because you're underground into the same stage. You don't think you're going that far. But actually, it's like five streets over the book. It is, yeah.
It's across a whole significant chunk of the city, in fact. Here we are. So we're going to Abbey Bood. But we can get the Shamfield one?
The Shamfield one goes. No, we have to wait for the Abbey one for the second minutes. You know we had this issue before when we were. It was the day clipper episode.
Day clipper episode. That's exactly right, isn't it? Hey, you know you've got a boost. I guess what I got.
A boost of ice coffee. You haven't dried those, no. And they're right. Now I might regret it.
So it's an energy drink, ice coffee, larté. Does it have taurine as well as caffeine? I'm going to enjoy your velvety smooth iced larté. The perfect blend of bold espresso and milk.
Maybe it's not them. I think it's just ice coffee, yeah. You still have a caffeine here. He just thinks he's all boost.
Must be full of shit and things. I've been doing a lot of advertising here. I can't see any a taurine. I've got my last time so I can't really see much right now.
I'm getting all this fucking sobering. Right. It just keeps getting worse. You might as well look like you're over here.
But there was quite a power outage on the whole of the underground today. So there was a bad disruption. But touch wood, it hasn't really affected our journey, has it? This isn't ours, is it over?
This is Shenfield one. How massive these platforms are. It's literally like a four minute walk down the other. Yeah.
That's like walking from my house to almost the street. Yeah, absolutely. It's crazy, isn't it? Yeah, but again, that false sense of distance because you're going to go just to platform.
It is really long. The state. We're going there and we're going to go down this one. We're going down to that.
We're going down to that. We're going down to that. We're going down to the happy wood. It's not a final destination.
We have to get another train from there. No, no, no. On this line is at the final destination. Are we getting off the happy wood?
Yes. Let me get the 2308 to Chingford. To Daford. To Daford.
Daford, isn't that where the Gansers used to be? This is pure Gans Well, then we get off then. Well, then let's just say Warren Street. Warren Street.
The same boys are on the bus. No, that's a big boy. It's not one word. Well, but let's say...
Let's say B-73. Warren Street. How about that as a compromise? Warren Street.
Warren Street. Because it occurred to me the other day that's like the most... the station that's on the Victoria line that is most like someone's actual name. Hello, this is Warren Street.
Oh, yeah, I guess. I can't think of any others on that line. Not like Abbey Wood to maybe. Abbey Wood's a good one, isn't it?
Yeah. See, but there's a different from... from like... there's also a station on the Vicki line called Victoria.
That is someone's name. This is not a full name. It's not a first or second name. Abbey Wood.
That's not the other one. We're getting on this anyway. Harold Wood. Great Wood.
Harold Wood. Harold Wood. Chadwell Heath. No, that's good.
It could be. Now, things like Manapar or Seven Kings. That's not a name, is it? Seven Kings could be like a...
Poor. Poor. Poor. But we're bowling alley.
You know, they're playing Swiss Seven Kings or Hong from a tree. But they're the top place that serves nachos. Wherever it is. Right, let's get on this train.
The new fancy Lizzie line train. And we'll see you with Abbey Wood. Abbey Wood. Right, well.
But they've got the list of line journey from a weird thing happening because we actually got onto the list of line without leaving. Morgate station. Isn't that right, Paul? In fact, Morgate isn't on the maps that we're on.
Isn't listed as a station on these maps. That's because we walked from Liverpool street to Liverpool street from Morgate underground. They just got it one station. That's how big these, um...
Look at all these other strains at the end of the line. Zone four and so we have to get to platform sooner. We're getting the Dartford bound track train on from platform two. Hopefully it won't be too onerous to get to transfer.
And then we might have a little bit of a rush or we might have a little bit of a wait. But they are night buses and they go all night so... And it isn't just 11 hours, it's not like it's super late and... You know, we're gonna wake it out for the next one.
Well, the first one is until 25 past midnight. The first one? Yeah. Oh, we'll get it.
Yeah, we'll easily get that. Is it still 11? Yeah. Where this train terminates?
Honestly, I think it's like 10 past 5 past 11, something like that. Right now. No, you can see something that doesn't look right. Speak to sir.
Or text British Transport Police on 6106. Wheel sorted. See it. Say it.
Sorted. Well, okay. What was that? I thought they were the fucking cleveros, cocka.
I bet it was more than one person and they would have checked it. They bet it got £7 million. I'm sticking ahead. It's just like terminates here.
All chains. It doesn't really make sense though. No. See it.
Say it's all to. Say what? It's here. It's a bit like place where dreams are made of.
It's like theses are theses are theses of everything. Alright, so this is a Lizzie line train. We're on platform 4. There's two there.
Do we? I have a bother. Hang on. Only for entry or exit.
Yeah, so how we go with the bridge F2? Platform 2 is there. See? Is there a bin?
Come on. So here we are. End of the line there. I'm going over a lovely pettie bridge now.
Here we are. Abbey wood. Abbey wood. And she wood as well.
Abbey's a dirty bird. Oh, no, you can see the city there. Oh, yeah. We're quite far out.
But we're going further. Further out. We have to figure a time of where we need to put these little pelmics on. As before, once we get on the bus, meaning you like move to the pelmics, the audio quality changes.
I try to do my best to keep everything legible. And we will keep in as much as we can on the journey in real time. Sometimes we keep the whole thing in. Sometimes I make snips.
But largely we keep as much as we can in. So here's the dart for train. Lovely thing for a lovely four moon as well. Not quite full, but close enough.
The second right moon. OK, so this bus train is due in like four minutes. Yeah, OK, cool. The dart for train there.
Dart for train. You've made all our connections. So far, so good. This is the one coming up though is the real.
I think my decision to go to Victoria Land was a wise decision. It's a good example, yes. Thank you. I just want my input recognised.
Absolutely. And I think it's just because the apps don't want to complicate your life. But people in the know such as ourselves, which are almost always available. You know, it's funny enough we've got a train from St.
Pancras, couldn't we, I guess. Just out of interest. Yeah, all the way here, yeah. So it would have been slower.
Oh, I see, Erith is there. Yeah. Next to Belvedere. Yeah, it's a different line.
No, that's why. You couldn't get there straight from somewhere. Oh, you couldn't. You'd have to change it.
You'd have to change it. You'd have to change it. Whatever happens. No, you could get on it.
Cannon Street or Charing Cross I reckon. And that would go down this side of the route. So yeah. Yeah, but that's for, yes, I suppose.
All I'm saying is once again, Gavin's right. Yeah. Yeah, much better actually. Coffee's good.
Right. Let me get folks off. Alright, let's turn this off now. Alright, basically just to, someone could be called Maze Hill, couldn't they?
Sounds a bit like a rapper. I'm Maze Hill. Yeah. Education of Maze Hill.
I tell you what, though Paul. I'm really starting to feel the night bus fever now. You've got to fucking fever. Chlamydia.
I was on the same side. So we're getting down to Dartford now. So we have to get to Erith. Yeah.
And we have to get from Erith to the start of the night bus route. The N89, which you said could be a eight minute walk. It's basically across the road over round the bell. Okay.
But, and the first one, like I said, is it. Let me have to see what it says actually. Yeah, find out. That'll be handy.
Behind the. Where's Erith on this much like an idea of where we're fucking going? There's this line, Shenfield. So we're south of that right now.
Abbey Wood. Okay. Yeah, great. Okay.
So, yeah. We're about here. I think we're going to have plenty of time actually. So there we are.
The sound side of the Thames history. As it gives people a visual idea of how far out from like the centre of London, we are. But anyway, I can hear it coming in actually. So I'm going to put this away.
I'm going to get our next leg of the journey going. There we go. That's Elpham. Oh shit.
I can't get glasses on. But there's Abbey Wood. So it's going to be somewhere Dartford. Maybe it's just on there.
No, because we can't go past Dartford County if the train destination is Dartford. Oh, it's not on this map. Oh, bollocks. It's not, it's not worth it.
It's not any small state. E. Ethelen, what do you call it? Erith.
Can you see it? Oh, man. Fuck, this is depressing. Fuck.
Anyway, it's not on this map. Alright, we're getting on then. We're getting on there. We're getting on there.
Two stops. Getting on. We might do one more recording when we get to the other end. I think we're going to be early.
That's fine. Give us a time to put the little pelt mics on stuff. Yeah, I think we've got that. Alright, E like taking pictures.
And I'm getting on this train. Right, we'll see you in a bit. Right, already. We were on the train ten minutes if far.
And now it's time to get off. Erith. We're playing your time. How's that all we got on?
Yeah, it looks like blood. Does it? Very much so. I thought it was like sticky coke or something.
No chocolate. Looks like blood. Looks like someone's been slashed. Anyway, here we are everyone at Erith.
This is where the 89, the 99 starts. And it's been much more smooth, hasn't it? And I thought that ride from Abbey Woods to Erith was going to be half an hour. It was for ten minutes.
Is that? Hang on. What? They got those air release doors.
What? Oh, look at that. I think this is going to be on a main road. You can hear the fucking motorway.
It looks very run down the station. I'm going to get this. I'm going to get this. Yeah.
This is a station with no need for amenities. What kind of vibe are you getting from that? Well, apart from the three separate security cameras, I'll literally right there, right now. Covering all the fucking bases.
I mean, what are we going to do for an hour? Well, not an hour. I've been out for 40 minutes. It's about a 10 minute walk from here.
So let's just think. I'll tell you what, I might finish this drink. And then you can find the route to where we need to go right now. We'll walk once, we know where we're going.
Yeah. Look at this place, man. Look at that. A rusty old.
A rusty old. A rusty old. A rusty old. A rusty old.
A rusty old. A rusty old bridge. There's the basic up-keep needed for this platform. The rest of it is kind of barren.
