False Economy

The Love Island winner and actor joins Vix and Paul to give us an insight into her shopping habits - from ice machines to kitchen knives, teeth whitening to something called a hair nurse (which frankly is a revelation to us all).

She also reveals why she’s no good at haggling, her friends unfortunate incident with a low-quality dress and we hear about her Danny Dyer’s penchant for eBay and how it can sometimes backfire spectacularly.

Rufus Hound has run away to join the circus (quite literally) but he’s popped back to tell us about his spending habits, from bargain microwaves to problematic cars and the very best way to get a refund on something you’re not happy with. 

Plus he tells us why appearing on TV isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and we learn about Steve Davis’ post-snooker career of all things.

Geordie Shore star Sophie Kasaei has quite a few stories about her spending habits - from trying to recreate the love island garden at home (spoiler alert, bad idea) to the moment she knew she had to stop her partying lifestyle. 

She also has an incredible story involving a holiday job and the Kaiser Chiefs, as well as an incredibly important cautionary tale about cosmetic surgery.

Oh, and she teaches Paul what BBL stands for, and it’s a wonderful moment.

Max might be our coolest guest to date: he’s a designer, an upcycler and a TV presenter (who you’ll recognise from various shows including George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces), he owns a double decker bus AND he lives in a shipping container. No word of a lie.

As well as taking us through some of his best projects, he lets us in on the dark secrets of product design, plus the one downside of his current living situation (and it’s one that requires a fair bit of daily planning!).

Oh, and we also learn how much it costs to stay at the very worst hotel in the whole country…

It's a family affair this week as Paul's brother Mark joins us in the studio to discuss his retail habits and quirks - talking everything from fancy restaurants to getting bargains on train tickets, and even the two of them sleeping on the floor of Kiev airport at one point.

Check out Mark's podcast Menkind, wherever you got this podcast.

TV legends turned hugely popular DJs Dick and Dom are our guests this week, telling Vix and Paul all their retail tales (retales?) - including the issues they had agreeing on spending when they lived together for real, which one of them is a brilliant blagger and which one writes to complain about every grievance they have.

Plus they have a LOT of love for Gloucester services (and we mean a LOT). It's a fairly decent portion of the episode, truth be told.

Dick and Dom reviving Da Bungalow and taking it on tour early next year! All dates and ticket links can be found here...

Our guest this week is the man behind the viral sensation that is Troy Hawke, the well-dressed greeter who effusively welcomes people to shops and other venues.

Milo tells Vix and Paul his best retail stories and habits, including having a stroke of luck at Chessington World Of Adventures, the danger of googling yourself too much, and an incredible story from a trip to the cinema.

TV presenter and comedian Nick Hancock is our guest this week, and he joins Vix and Paul to discuss computer troubles, his complicated relationship with the country of Denmark and why buying clothes does not come naturally to him.

And when you're done, you should give Nick’s football podcast a listen - it's called The Famous Sloping Pitch and can be found wherever you got this podcast.

The winner of this year's series of The Apprentice joins Vix and Paul this week, to talk Scratch And Sniff, walk-in fridges and how she relaxes (strangely it involves a product she bought from Poundland...).

We also dig into her time on the BBC show and find out how scary she actually finds Lord Sugar - plus we answer a question I imagine you've never considered before: how much would you pay to wash your own car?

This week’s guest is an absolute superstar: a comedian, writer, actor and musician that may recognise from The Voice - but if you aren’t familiar with her work yet, you will be before too long.

She’s just been nominated for the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award after selling out her entire run of shows at the Fringe - and she’s here to tell Vix Leyton and Paul Watson all about the quirks of her retail habits.

From the biggest sitting-based bargain of all time to the worst possible product to get advertised to you as as a trans woman, we cover a whole host of topics - as well as getting all the insider gossip from her time on The Voice. 

And we find out the answer to the age-old question: how much does a life-size cardboard cutout of Michael Bublé?
