Cheap Shots: Eli's Playing Cards

[@JustForgottenGames]

Out of nostalgia i watched an old Barshens episode, just subscribed, you guys are criminally underrated!!

[@cheapshow]

thank you kindly - enjoy the YEARS of content! better late than never and all that jazz!

[@JustForgottenGames]

​@@cheapshow Indeed! Finally something new and entertaining to watch while i eat

[@ellaaa1498]

You guys are so funny, I always get excited when I see a new upload, thank you for doing these 😊

[@MrSamuelStreamer]

I would love an episode spent deciphering Eli’s arty cards please fellas

[@ymebo]

So Waddington's are standard Bridge cards and Bicycle are standard Poker cards. Which is why they are different sizes. I don't think they play much Bridge in America. But it makes sense because in Bridge there are more cards on the table than in poker so you can fit more. I also collect cards so this was my favourite video I have seen of yours

[@cheapshow]

@@ymebo ooh thank you!!

[@ymebo]

@@cheapshow No problem Happy collecting.

[@redwolf92]

wow, I didn't know Eli plays Balatro.

[@LuminalSpoon]

Nope!

[@AlphaLima-g7l]

Eli you would have been a fantastic magician

[@superscatboy]

He regularly does a trick where he makes Paul's will to live disappear.

[@MTRM]

I have never been less surprised by something than when Eli said he plays Balatro

[@ricksanchez3557]

You cannot get better than just mates just talking shit for a podcast. I've been through my usual lot of the Yogpod and the Ricky Gervais Show/XFM. Cheap Show has been a blast so far.

[@Thieks]

5:38 Eli does have lovely hair!

[@hairyapefilms]

Eli and Paul are the future

[@jezzermeii]

I am interested in seeing those cards, mentioned ~ 04:00. Take that, Ganon!

[@AcornElectron]

13:55 card backs are often referred to as ‘the obverse’. Just means ‘the other side’.

[@greeftish]

In the cut and thrust of a competitive card game, you need a clear design. It may make all the difference in who says SNAP! first.

[@deviatefishy]

I need to see all of Eli's deck.

[@cadburybunny]

Eli would have appreciated my literal BOX of freebie decks of cards that came with the Liquor/Booze from when I worked at a pub/restaurant YEARS back. I saved a few for emergency use and just cause some looked cool, but donated a bunch to the hospital along with a box of Archie Comics I sometimes buy when waiting in line for groceries still lol.

[@velocityfpv5231]

you are the only channel i leave a like on before watching the vid tbh. Your chaotic and care free yet friendly speech is hard to find these days

[@lkr90]

Did a post-xmas loft clear out and found that exact Blankety Blank board game 😂😂

[@LuminalSpoon]

Listening to Eli talk about Balatro while playing Balatro

[@omnipresentsnowflake4698]

When are we getting cheap show card art on balatro?

[@DarkSphinxx]

I love these cheap shots

[@PerplexityComplex]

I live for these

[@BigTsutts]

Do enjoy eli getting his deck out on the internet

[@KnugenMooMoo]

Yeah I'm interested in Eli cards.. just wanna see Paul indure the card talk in the follow up video 😂

[@adamdenby1282]

The over eating cards are great

[@rossvegas7]

Eli was definitely jealous of Paul's superior deck of cards 😂 but yeah eli bring your other cards in we would love to look at them 👍🏼

[@Kumimono]

I used to have a pack, where the, people were real historical Swedish monarchs and nobles, very lifelike, in a medieval art way.

[@kevintobin3223]

The Deck Report is the way forward.

[@jksmellie]

Balatro is absolutely addictive as shit. Honestly, roguelikes in general are fairly addictive and Balatro is just so simple to pick up and play for a few minutes, it's great.

[@SkullMan---]

I have a Red Dead Redemption deck of cards, they look the same as the ones in-game.

[@Forcefield23]

Just rediscovered you guys after the Barshens reunion, is there a good recent place to pick up the podcast?

[@cheapshow]

well, the pod is on almost every platform we can - you can pick an episode you fancy and dive in, give it a go... or start with the Barshens Reunion episode we did in early 2024 (www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-377-barshens-rises) or every 100th episode, or every 50th episode as we try to use them as "reset" points you can re-enter the show! Have fun!

[@Forcefield23]

Cool, thanks! I like idea of the soft reset after 50 episodes actually.

[@TimeToSlashZoom]

Episode 4: Ashens Eats Sponch.

[@EarthboundX]

I always think ep 12 or around ep 12 The Cheapshow Creepshow is the best place to start if you plan to listen to all of it. It's their first "story" ep, and their first Halloween ep. It where I feel the theme and feel of the podcast really started coming together.

[@TylerAtlasRay]

Post 350 Would be good, maybe. The LA stuff 357-359 is worth checking out for sure

[@issinkyi2867]

It's 2008, Joe Wilkinson, and Sean Lock have a new show. About cards 😂

[@DarkLightSoraJakSnake]

Eli should be sober for literally just one single day

[@Jourmand1r]

Eli has shown me the truth. If youre born looking like a 40 year old man when you actually turn 40 people will see you as ageless dudes a noodle vampire

[@metalthrashingmatt]

"I would call them trotters"

[@lukaskubik4698]

If you like Balatro, try Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers. Kinda similar but with blackjack instead of poker.

[@WateringCan]

Paul going on and on about how much he doesn't care or find it interesting is annoying, especially when he's talking over Eli talking about the subject of the video.

[@gaz9411]

"The part I find annoying about Cheap Show is basically its fundamental format"

[@cheapshow]

​@@gaz9411 and it often works vise versa too!!!

[@WateringCan]

@@gaz9411 I think it's at its best when they're both just having a casual, slightly mad chat about something they're both interested in. For this reason I think the platters sections are often best. Just people talking about weird old silly music and having a laugh.

[@gaz9411]

@@WateringCan Fair enough. I guess I prefer the parts where they call each other tossers

[@alexwells6876]

@@WateringCan they can't always have brotherly love and they can't always be bastards, as is life, the yin and the yang. Embrace it all, let it into your heart dear listener
