Ep 308: Mulchy Fibbage

E

It’s a proper chunky show this week, and that’s despite there is not a lot to be getting on with! A delightful PO Box delivery brings a bit of joy into Paul and Eli’s hearts before offering a snack based Off Brand, Brand Off that will task their taste buds. Can Eli tell which is the Nik-Nak and which is the Nik-Nak knock off? The odds are stacked against him. Elsewhere, Paul crafts another deeply weird character that, for a change, Eli becomes incredibly fond of! Is this the beginning of a beautiful new friendship? Meanwhile, behind the scenes, there is trouble brewing and it’s all going to end badly for the Cheap Chaps, they just don’t know it yet! All this and Paul amusing himself to death, enjoy!

Ep 307: Grim Dilemmas

E

As the weather, once again, gets colder and the days become shorter, Paul and Eli are feeling a bit gloomy. It’s even worse for Silverman, as a long-standing issue with his teeth rears its ugly head and Gannon takes full advantage of his vulnerability. Don’t worry though, they’re both given a bit of a perk when they take on the tastes and textures of some cheap eats. There are new Doritos to try, knock off Monster Munch to investigate and something a little more… unusual! Things take a sour turn again when the Paul’s Parlour Pass Times segment reveals a card game that is only going to bring out the very worst in them. “The Dilemma Game” asks Eli and Paul to solve some moral quandaries and it quickly becomes apparent that it’s going to get very ugly and hit a bit too close to home for one of them!

Ep 306: Two Conspiracies

E

Whoops-a-daisy! We were so busy planning out Halloween Twitch stream (now available on YouTube) that we forgot to plan for the actual podcast recording session beforehand. So, what do Paul and Eli go when they’ve got nothing to nibble on, play with or argue over… You’re about to find out! The cheap chaps come up with some segments on the fly (say hello “Eli’s Dream”!) and, in an act of pure desperation, whip out some “mystery” themed Story Cubes. As a result of this, prepare yourself for two tales of mind-boggling conspiracy that will challenge everything you hold dear… Or make you realise just how poor Paul and Eli are at improvised storytelling. They promise to be better prepared next week!

Ep 305: Little Sweet Shop of Horrors (Mono Edition)

E

Mono Edition Happy Halloween! …And welcome to a rather troubling episode of CheapShow. This edition of the economy comedy podcast has been pieced together from the recording equipment and audio footage that was found abandoned in a dirty back alley earlier this week. During the early weeks of October 2022, Paul and Eli attempted to record their Halloween episode for that year. Tragically, that recording session was abandoned and the “Incident on Harbet Road” will never be publicly shared… for now. In a desperate attempt to get something out for Halloween, Paul and Eli tagged along with Mr Biffo and Sanja for a “Digitiser’s Supernatural World” film shoot at a haunted sweet shop in Chatham, owned by a chap called Dan Does Crafts… The whole film crew slowly succumbed to an uninvited evil and, as of the publication of this episode, have yet to be found. Their whereabouts are still a terrifying mystery. What follows is an upsetting and, at times, disconcerting document of what happened on that fateful night, October 24th, 2022. And with that, we present this week’s episode… See pics/videos for this episode on our website: https://www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-305-little-sweet-shop-of-horrors See The Digitiser Supernatural World Video Here: https://youtu.be/XJPV1skAk9s And if you like us, why not support us: www.patreon.com/cheapshow If you want to get involved, email us at [email protected] And if you want to, follow us on Twitter @thecheapshowpod or @paulgannonshow & @elisnoid Or follow our guests: Dan Does Crafts @AnatomicalBomb, Sanja Rose @CharmFairy8 and Paul Rose @mrbiffo Like, Review, Share, Comment...

Ep 304: The Doppledangler's Fondant

E

Sometimes, Paul just isn’t in the mood for Eli’s antics, and this is one of those weeks, for sure! Eli is going to have to tiptoe around Paul as best he can, but when there is a middling sauce report and a super packed Price of Shite to get through, it may not be as easy he thinks. There may be something that perks Paul up a bit, and that is the sexy, alluring new “protector of the p’twings” who is sitting in for Poindexter. Will passions overflow? Will Eli leave the podcast in protest? Do you have the stomach to find out?

Ep 303: You Must Be Joking?

E

It’s been a while since Paul & Eli got their taste buds wrapped around some filthy American snacks and treats, so they are both as happy as Larry to dive into a selection of crisps, sweets and disgustingly yummy delights. However, this is CheapShow we are talking about, and it goes without saying that even a simple Cheap Eats section will go off on disgusting tangents: from euphemisms about dirty toilets to poultice policies and arguments about jingle performances. It will all make some kind of loose sense, we promise! There is a Gannon’s Golden Games that yields reasonably underwhelming results and throws Paul into full on pun mode, but despite all the laughs there is a danger lurking. Will they be able to see it coming? Definitely not!

Ep 302: Tea!

E

Sometimes an innocent enquiry can lead to a cavalcade of outrage, and this week on CheapShow, a simple test throws everything Paul and Eli know out the window. It’s a question they’ve posed in the past on the show, does how you prepare a good old British cup of tea matter? Does it really effect the taste? It’s time to put it to the test… and the results may be pleasantly surprising to some, and absolutely disgusting to others. Will you respect the results or call for blood? To calm the rage, we also have a chunky Silverman’s Platter to share with a dip into the world of “break-in” records, novelty songs about Jaws and the braggadocio of early rap artists. It’s quite the episode, and that’s before we even get to mentioning Paul tries to pitch a sequel to Clankerman to Eli! How will he take it? As ever, listen and learn!

Ep 301: Talk To The Hand

E

Following the events of Episode 300, Paul isn’t quite feeling himself and so it’s up to Eli to tackle the tatty topics of the week. He finally gets to finish off the selection of Japanese “worthless” snacks and Gashapon pods, which brings him a lot more joy than Paul gets, who’s really not in the mood. Speaking of which, Paul is (sadly) on full “tinker mode” and decides its time to censor Eli’s tawdry tangents. This does not go as well as he’d hoped, but at least he has a plan up his sleeve to end the episode. As it was Paul’s birthday recently, his mother sent him a box of extremely random items and it’s up to Mr Silverman to roll up his sleeves and dive into Paul’s Mum’s Box with gusto. In more ways than one, it’s a very random episode. Oh, and they also try a few “Sodi-Pops” too. Which brings up a bit of an awkward moment. One that may cause trouble later down the line!

Ep 300: The 3rd Live One!

E

Roll Up, Roll Up for (possibly) the Greatest Live Podcast Recording Ever Made. This Year. In Harrow. CheapShow, for once, is very proud to present its 300th EPISODE, recorded LIVE on Sat August 13th at The Harrow Arts Centre to a PACKED HOUSE! It’s easily the biggest live performance Paul and Eli have ever done, and they’ve gone all out to put on a show that is unlike any other podcast recording you can think of. Hopefully! In just under 2 hours, they pack in sketches, characters, games, guests, songs (!!) and even a few BIG surprises. The Cheap Chaps are joined by guests from the podcast’s history, who have no idea what’s in store… Poor souls! CheapShow 300 with Paul Rose (Mr. Biffo), Ethan Lawrence, Octavious King, Stuart Ashen, Sanja Rose with special guest appearances from Sooz Kempner, Brian Wecht, Paul Putner & Pat Sharp! It’s an episode NOT to be missed. And nothing goes wrong. At all. Promise!

Ep 299: Almost Everything All At Once

E

There is a loose tradition on CheapShow that when it’s the week of Paul’s Birthday, he decides to do as little as possible to get the episode out with as little editing as possible too. He also likes to drink. A lot. This puts Eli in a bit of a bind. He’s going to have to put up with all of Paul’s s*** and make sure that as many CheapShow segments fit into one hour as possible. So, hold on tight as the Cheap Chaps race through an Off Brand/Brand Off, a Sauce Report, a Soda Jerk taste test, a Cheap Eats treat, a Froth Shop candy, a Gannon’s Golden Games and a Paul’s Page Turner too! Is it possible? Is it even a good idea to cram in this much into sixty minutes? Well, you’re about to find out… Share & Enjoy.

Episode 298: End Of The Line

E

As Episode 300 nears, Paul and Eli decide to squeeze in one more walk before summer ends. In this edition of the economy comedy podcast, the cheap chaps decide to take on the 3-mile London Parkway Walk, which is London’s Longest Linear Park, don’t you know?! It’s certainly a long walk for two out of shape idiots who have nothing but Japanese “worthless” snacks as a form of sustenance. There is also no guarantee they will make the trip from Finsbury Park to Alexander Palace in their state! As they follow the abandoned railway line, they’ll attempt some arty augmented reality, wander through a few “kissing tunnels”, explore a bat cave and wander forgotten platforms, cursing and arguing every step of the way! They also attempt a few weak stunts. It goes badly. Obviously. Share & Enjoy.

Ep 297: Mall Madness

E

Attention Shoppers! There’s a clearance sale at the Fashion Boutique! Will it be Paul or Eli to first secure a fancy jacket at a huge reduction? And who will grab the Designer Shades at the Opticians? Ooooh, it’s thrilling! It’s a fast-paced shopping spree this week on the economy comedy podcast. Paul’s been after the MB Games classic “Mall Madness” for a while, and finally, he inflicts his obsession on to Eli. After a few false starts, the Cheap Chaps take on the challenge to see who will be crowned “King Shopper” in a game primarily aimed at young teenage girls in the 1990s. If you think that’s going to make for a simple and pleasant game, then you’ve obviously never listened to the podcast before! It’s a s***show! Share & Enjoy.

Ep 296: It Ain't Half Hot, Son!

E

In what was meant to be an easy-going, laid-back episode of CheapShow, the show not only goes off the rails halfway in but spends a good chunk of the remaining runtime feeling terribly ill! It’s a packed show this week as Paul and Eli take on a whole host of topics. They angrily debate the “expert opinion” of a Top 10 best Walkers Crisps flavours list. Eli gets over-excited at the discovery of a lost bit of Tiswas merchandise and Paul wants to reboot the show with a Wild West theme. All of this is overshadowed by a very special Sauce Report segment that is special for ALL the wrong reasons. In fact, it may be the most traumatic Sauce Report they’ve ever suffered through.

Ep 295: The Kindness of Strangers

E

On a good day, Paul and Eli are old, clapped out, exhausted and useless. So, can you imagine what condition they’re in after foolishly exerting themselves following their BIG live show the previous day? You can find out in this week’s frail episode. Following the events of the live 300th episode performance, some kind CheapSkate listeners donated all sorts of weird, wonderful, and woeful packages to Paul and Eli and in this week’s podcast, they dive into some of the more edible offerings. After being wowed by their Cheese and Onion flavoured crisps, the cheap chaps are delighted to learn Tayto have a whole range of flavours to discover! Sadly, the same excitement can’t be observed for the soft drinks that have found their way into CheapShow’s orbit. As if exhaustion wasn’t enough, there’s also the matter of an ever largening room full of knock off characters to worry about!

Ep 294: Tat Hunt: Pinner

E

A few years ago, Paul and Eli did a “Tat Hunt” episode that challenged them to go to a certain part of London, investigate its charity shops and put their discoveries to the ultimate Price of Shite test! Obviously, as it’s been a few years, they thought they would do it again, but this time in Pinner. You know, that place just outside of North West London? No? It doesn’t matter, as the cheap chaps will be doing all the research for you! What will the find in Pinner’s charity shop offerings? Will Paul find something amazing? Will Eli even bother to make an effort? Who will win in the Price of Shite Face Off? It’s a high stakes edition of the podcast. Ok. Maybe not “high” stakes, but Paul is determined to win and Eli is determined to pocket the £10 budget. Typical.

Ep 293: Mystery Chocolate

E

It’s been the talk of the internet for weeks, but this week, Paul and Eli finally give their opinion… On what the hell those unknown flavours are in the Dairy Milk Mystery Bars! There are two bars to investigate, both very different in flavour profile, which is hard enough to figure out without Paul creating a new, deeply annoying, character. Will this new cheeky chappy break Eli or will he succumb to his charms? Elsewhere in the episode, a Silverman’s Platter and a Gannon’s Golden Games segment smash into each other when the cheap chaps have a quick look at the “Animal Kwackers” music album. You know, for kids! It’s an oddity of a platter but one that quickly gets ignored in favour of creating a new jingle and arguing over the point of musical copyright. Oh CheapShow! Sigh.

Ep 292: Quite Uninteresting

E

Sometimes you look at the world and think “God, it’s pretty shit out there!”, so this week on CheapShow, Paul and Eli dive into a book that hopes to inspire positivity and some warm nostalgic cuddles. Along the way, they talk about the joys of dunking biscuits in tea, the random beauty of the lost property office and the childhood joy of penny sweets and pick n mix candy memories. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it? So, it’s a shame all that goodwill goes out of the window the minute Paul pulls out the QI board game based on the TV show of the same name. Then it all gets very ugly… and that’s after the ongoing friction of those CheapShow “knock off” characters establishing a new club and Eli’s appalling attempts to reboot the jingles. Oh dear, indeed!

Ep 291: The Heat Is On

E

If Paul and Eli thought last week’s woodland adventure was hot, then this week is going to be a very unpleasant surprise! As temperatures rise throughout the UK, the Cheap Chaps decide to forge onwards and record an episode on one of the hottest days on record. This, as it turns out, is not a good idea. With energy running low and drenched in sweat, Eli suddenly as a great idea… Let’s call Juicy Jeremy and see if he can deliver some cool, refreshing “sody-pops”. Luckily, he is in the area and stops by with some fizzy drinks and maybe acting a little bit “suss”. What will they discover this week? You can expect confectionary flavoured waters, a new trendy special edition Coca Cola, something super sweet, something super sour and something… utterly gross. Find out what that drink was AND ALSO find out what’s in that new room in the far corner of the podcast that contains a certain tier of CheapShow characters. You’ll be glad you did!

Ep 290: The Boys of Summer

E

It’s a scorching hot day so Paul and Eli decide to skip recording the podcast and take themselves out into the wild to get up to some mischief. In the great tradition of mucking about in the woods, the cheap chaps are trying to recapture those naughty adventures from their youth. They plan to smoke ciggies, drink cheap booze, look for a place to call their “den” and, of course, search for a pile of disregarded porn mags. As with most walkabout episodes, things don’t go according to plan. Along the way they get lost in a cemetery, take abuse from little old ladies, reminisce halcyon days, make toxic cocktails, have a meltdown in Tescos, dangle from trees and make an utter show of themselves. It’s a shameful day out for everyone. Come and join Paul and Eli as they soak up the sun in this Summer Special ramble.

Ep 289: Platter Spectacular

E

Who likes the Silverman’s Platter segment of the podcast? You’d better, because it ain’t a segment this week, it’s a whole ruddy episode! Paul and Eli take a deep dive into the shallow end of novelty pop records and there is a lot to get through. If you ever wondered what a radio show would be like if it was hosted by the Cheap Chaps, then it would probably sound like this. Packed with weird music, chock full of idiotic tangents and more than its fair share of salty language. So basically, the same old, same old, but with a bit more music than usual. If you ever wanted to know more about unsettling Heinz mascots from the 70s, whatever “gummage” is, the delicate art of the “answer song” and what exactly a “poo chant” is, then you are going to get answers you deserve, and instantly regret hearing. Ready to listen? Not half, pop pickers!

Ep 288: Bite The Wax Tadpole

E

It’s time, once again dear listener, to tackle some more cheap instant noodles, but this week, Paul and Eli may have literally bitten off more than they can chew. They’re tasked with trying to eat a dangerously spicy noodle that warns them of the danger, but the cheap chaps forge ahead… and promptly regret their decision. How spicy can it possibly be? They’re going to find out the hard way. Elsewhere in the episode, it’s time for a new Paul’s Page Turner segment and Gannon is desperate to give it its own proper jingle. Even if that means stealing a bunch of old ones no one is using any more. Finally, Eli finds more joy in a treat Paul’s discovered on the floor. For real. It makes for some serious ejaculations of joy. Which is troubling!

Ep 287: Infinite Knick Knacks

E

Every now and then, an episode of CheapShow comes along that is “nice” and “lovely”. This is one of those rare episodes where Paul and Eli aren’t at each other’s throats (too much)! It’s time to jump into another listener sent PO Box treat this week and the Cheap Chap are overwhelmed by the goodies that are revealed. Luckily, it’s not all flowers and sunbeams, as Paul (typically) finds a way to make something Eli is enjoying, unenjoyable. Whether it’s creating a naughty limerick or crafting another convoluted score system, Gannon’s out to be a proper annoyance. Eli is spoilt rotten by the box’s contents, Paul, however, just wants to spoil it. From Butt Detective toys to Godzilla gadgets, this episode is heaving with knick-knacks – maybe too many for Eli’s heart to take!

Ep 286: This Is Who's Life?

E

Somehow, the economy comedy podcast has made it to SEVEN years of existence and Paul and Eli think it’s only fair to do something special. Or at least different. The Cheap Chaps have something up their sleeves and it’s going to make this year’s birthday episode a little more juicy than usual. Things start off familiar enough, with some admin, a chat about self-love and then it’s straight into an Off Brand/Brand Off segment all about instant coffee. So far, so good… But when an old familiar face turns up during the proceedings, things take a very unexpected turn, but why and for who? Expect revelations, shocks and scandals aplenty in this week’s reminiscence filled episode!

Ep 285: 2 True 4 Real

E

It’s all fun and games until things get “too real” for Paul and Eli this week. What begins as a simple party game soon turns into a sober and devastatingly reflective experience. It’s a Gannon’s Golden Game from hell and no one gets out with their dignity intact. Think of it like a body swap film but with none of the hi-jinks and joy. Luckily, the rest of the show isn’t as awkward. It’s time to take a trip to the past as Paul pulls out another excuse to talk about “Look-In” magazines when he happens upon an annual celebrating the best of the 1970s pop culture landscape.

We hope you’re thirsty this week, because Paul and Eli are going to be diving into a tiny treasure trove of fizzy drinks… Sadly, that means they’re going to get a visit from the Soda Jerk Master himself, Juicy Jeremy. He’s back with a collection of soft drinks to taste and test. There is even one drink from his jalopy that the cheap chaps have been desperately trying to get their hands on for a while, but will it live up to expectations? However, Juicy Jeremy hasn’t come alone as, unbeknownst to him, there is a certain animal fancying candy man who has a few treats of his own to offer. All this AND Paul’s got a shocking royal confession to get off his chest, it’s a proper fizzy and frothy episode!

Ep 283: Norwegian Goods

E

After getting lost in the woods for two episodes, Paul and Eli are back doing what they do best. Whatever that is! Long time contributor Ivenne has sent the cheap chaps a box of goodies from Norway (and Sweden) and it’s packed with sauces, tat and candy. Eli doesn’t need an excuse to talk sauce, so he is rather excited about the Lee Kum Kee Cooking Sauce collection as well as the lemon grass siracha and Vietnamese soy sauce. Paul? He isn’t excited at all. Things improve when its time for a European Price of Shite, with items obtained from Norwegian charity shops. For Paul, he is most excited by the folk cassette that Eli promptly ruins with his improvised, horrific lyrics. Things don’t improve when a few new characters turn up, each one more pointless and volatile than the last. Put the kettle on, grab a hot drink and get cozy, it’s CheapShow time!

This week is the “thrilling” conclusion to Gannon’s Second Golden Quest! Okay, maybe not “thrilling” but it’s definitely the finale to this drawn-out disaster! Last week, Eli failed his first challenge and lost out on £3, can he salvage his reputation by successfully completing the next three tests of skill and cognitive ability? The answer will probably not surprise you. As the cheap chaps head deeper into the woods, they are re-joined by Sir Salty Freshone and The Quest Master who continue to be obsessed with nappies for men and whatever the hell “chocca” is! Finally, Paul can’t seem to go 30 minutes without having an accident, will he even live through his own quest? Find out in Part Two of this mystical walkabout adventure!

The Quest Master returns! In yet another thrilling “walkabout” episode, Paul and Eli go exploring the woods of North London and take on 4 cheap challenges. It’s an adventure so big/drawn out, that it had to be split into two episodes! The journey begins in High Barnet and takes the cheap chaps on an escapade that goes off the rails before it begins. It also doesn’t help that they quickly get lost and must back track to return to the trail. It’s an episode packed with cheeky dogs, arguments, indecent proposals, a chocka hungry goblin, a nappy obsessed knight, a few painful accidents and an “Off Brand/Brand Off” that could be a lot more difficult than it first seems. To make things spicier, there’s real cash on the table for Eli to win, so The Quest Master has made the challenges a little more difficult as a result, which please Paul greatly. Will Eli reign victorious? Will Paul injure himself? Will they even figure out where they are going? Listening to this podcast will reveal all!

Ep 280: Nasty Shanties

E

It’s a packed podcast this week as Paul and Eli dive into a range of unusual books and even weirder novelty records! In “Paul’s Page Turners” the gents briefly judge a book by its cover, absorb the wit of 50-year-old toilet graffiti and find out why coffins once had to have armed bodyguards! Sadly, Paul finds room to add a new character. Eli remains unimpressed. Later in the show, “Silverman’s Platter” unearths a strange old 7-inch record recorded by proud Bristolians from the 1970s. There is also the strange case of a rare promotional book and record that not only gives us an odd adventure with Captain Birdseye, but also a collection of frozen food themed shanties. Expect some really bad singing and bloody awful CheapShow tainted shanties. Sadly, Paul finds room to add another new character. Eli is impressed. Eventually!

Ep 279: Hole Ness

E

After the high drama of last week’s Derek finale, it’s very much back to basics for Paul and Eli this week on CheapShow. To bring some stability to the format, they opt to indulge in some Cheap Eats and Price of Shite action. At no point do two new, awful characters appear, destined to be forgotten about. Not at all! In Cheap Eats, Messrs Gannon and Silverman tackle a rather unsatisfactory brand of strongly flavoured Sunflower seeds and guzzle down Gingerbread flavoured Mountain Dew. It was all going so well until Eli pulls out an impromptu Sauce Report and Paul goes on a silent protest. The Price of Shite brings along a selection of weird and wonderful charity store sourced items ranging from the pointless to the fascinating. It at least gives Gannon a chance to do a Scottish accent… Sadly. It’s a thrilling finale to the game of tat and one where Poindexter gets pulled into the action too!

Ep 278: Derek: The Final Chapter

E

After many years, it’s finally time to close the book on a very important part of CheapShow history. With massive thanks to Tom, the custodian of the Derek Files, we can, at long last, wade back into the weird, wonderful, and worrying world of Uncle Derek, the master storyteller behind The Brookside Tiger, The Bone Hoover and Irish Jimmy! For this obviously momentous occasion, we are joined by Tat Lord and all round “lovely chap” Stuart Ashen to absorb more of that red hot Derek action. It’s an episode packed with young love, tragic death, family pranks, olde timey motor cars, UFOs, exploding foxes and much, much more. The only question is, can you take this level of awesomeness and imagination? Why not join us for what is guaranteed to be a life changing moment, not just for CheapShow, but for every single person who listens. It’s the end of an era.

Ep 277: Sock Race

E

WARNING: On this week’s edition of the podcast, in the Tales from the Shop Floor segment, Paul reads out a letter that some may find gross, disturbing and stomach churning. At least Eli did when he heard it! So, bear that in mind as we launch into yet another week of economy comedy madcap stupidity. If you can make it through the TFTSF section of the show with the contents of your stomach still inside you, there are more cheap thrills to enjoy. Paul also has a new Gannon’s Golden Games to show off and it’s a great one! Grab your socks, fill them with oddities and see who can pull out the designated object first. We’re having a Sock Race! What begins as a cheeky bit of silliness soon becomes an angry shout fest when Paul realises that he may be utter crap at this game… Much to Eli’s joy!

Ep 276: "Oh, Norman!"

E

Sometimes it’s fine to have a silly, throwaway episode, and this episode is about as throwaway as they come. Paul and Eli have a touch of the silly giggles this week and you may find it a) charming or b) deeply unprofessional and annoying. You know, the usual! In this particular episode of CheapShow, the cheap chaps are heading back into the Country Urban Noodle Test lab (Kitchen) after a long spell away to try out two “American” instant noodles. They are dirt cheap, but do they taste of dirt? Silverman’s Platter also returns to delve into more weird and (occasionally) wonderful musical mysteries. There is a trilogy of childhood tunes for Paul and Eli to endure and each is more wonderful than the last. In fact, it’s quite the tuneful episode as Eli may have accidentally stumbled upon a hit West End Musical, waiting to be realised… And for Paul, he dying to hear more!

Ep 275: The Sloshed Family Silverman

E

For a few weeks in March, Eli escaped the UK to visit his family in Florida and Paul thought it would be a great idea to give him a portable recording device. You know, so Eli could record his adventures in America. Turns out it was a terrible idea. Rather than record his thoughts and observations, he decided to record barely audible interactions with his family over the course of 2 rowdy days. Paul is not impressed. This week, find out what happens when The Family Silverman taste test some American junk food whilst drinking to excess, all the while Paul fumes in response to each pointless recording. In between the segments, there are some stories to tell and cheap eats to suffer through, particularly Eli’s obsession with sausages and packets of Takis. To say Paul isn’t impressed is putting it lightly.

Ep 274: A Tale of Two Podcasts

E

In a time-hopping edition of CheapShow, Paul is hopping backwards and forwards in time to challenge both Eli and Mr Biffo to a game of The Price of Shite. Why? Well… With Eli still in America, Paul has to record an episode of the podcast with someone, and luckily Mr Biffo was available to guess the cost of the charity shop tat. However, Paul realises that he can hop forward a week and task a returning Eli to the exact same game. As Paul bounces back and forth, Eli and Biffo go head-to-head to see who will reign supreme. Along the way they’ll talk mutant trains, monkey cruelty, pepper holes, unusual smells, and old toys. All Paul needs to do is hand out the P’twings. Hopefully he can at least manage that. Confused? Don’t be! You’re getting two podcasts for the price of none!

After the meltdown of last week’s episode, Eli still harbours a grudge and wants his damned 7 p’twings. Paul, however, has no interest in giving them, and worse, he seems to not want to play ball all episode. To make things much worse, there are men at work outside the House of Sausage & Mash and it’s causing quite the distraction. Luckily, there are lots of snacks to eat and records to listen to, which should keep both the cheap chaps busy. When it comes to potato crisps, Paul and Eli may have found something actually quite nice to nosh on, which makes a very nice change. When it comes to Silverman’s Platter, a daft novelty record sends them on a deep dive into conspiracy thinking, assassinations and the world’s most famous screen. Sadly, it’s derailed by Paul’s irrational hatred of Cilla Black and the reveal of his “mutton mouth”, whatever THAT is! Join us!

After the last few weeks of hardcore retro TV nostalgia, Paul and Eli are back to doing what they do best… Whatever that is! This week, Eli was promised snacks and noodles, and this is exactly what he is getting. There are unusual snacks to enjoy, odd drinks to try and not throw up whilst drinking and a trilogy of cup noodles to slurp down. Eli is over the moon. Paul, as ever, not so much! He does not care for the snacks, can’t keep the drinks down and all he wants to do is crack wise and create another batch of horrible new characters. This episode doesn’t quite come off the rails, but Paul tries his best to derail Eli’s excitement… Which isn’t that hard considering the repercussions from Eli’s confession last week!

Ep 268: Saturday Morning Showdown Part Two

E

Last Week Paul and Eli pulled apart what made Tiswas and Swap Shop work, and this week it’s part two of their Saturday Morning Showdown! The 2nd generation of kid’s breakfast TV shows were Number 73 on the ITV regions and Saturday Superstore from the BBC. Both are very different to each other, and in some respects, from the trailblazing programmes that came before them. The question is, “Which is the ULTIMATE show?” Will nostalgia cloud our opinions or has distance made us more critical? Which one has Sarah Greene in? That will probably be the best one. Ahem. The Cheap Chaps have amassed another collection of clips to review as well as some of the purchasable merchandise that came with the shows at the time of broadcast! You can expect tie-in books, novelty songs and even something lovely to pin to your lapel! At the end of the day, only one of these shows can be crowned Overlord of Saturday Morning and Paul and Eli have a lot to think about in this proper chunky edition of the economy comedy podcast. They also have a LOT of angry opinions on Mike Reid, Paul reveals his childhood crushes and Eli reveals WAY too much about his local swimming pool antics! It’s a shocker! Somewhere in between the mucky talk, weird asides and bitter rants, there is an actual podcast in here!

Ep 267: Saturday Morning Showdown Part One

E

For kids of the 1970s through to the late 90s, Saturdays were defined by their morning children’s TV programming. Whether it was BBC or ITV, you could expect 3 hours of cartoons, interviews, games, prizes, sketches and all kinds of edutainment. This week on CheapShow, Paul & Eli decide to find out which of the early, classic shows was the best. After scouring charity shops and auction sites, the Cheap Chaps have collated a collection of Saturday Morning TV tat, from books to novelty records! Based on the quality of this merchandise, they’ll decide which show reigns supreme. However, there is a problem… There is TOO much to talk about and investigate, so they’ve decided to split this quest into two parts. In Part One, Paul & Eli will look at the pioneers of those early broadcasts, Tiswas (from ITV) and Swap Shop (from the BBC) and see what they had to offer. As they will find out, there are surprises in store, quaint old practices to admire, weird stories to gawp at and dull tales to tolerate from a young Noel Edmonds. It’s a show packed with nostalgia, stupidity, and the usual upsetting and vulgar tangents.

E

It’s a question that’s often been asked in CheapShow’s 6 years of existence, “Who is more stupid, Paul or Eli”? This week the answer can finally be revealed because that answer is “Both of them. Both are stupid”. Saved from last week’s Black Bin Bag of Mystery, the Cheap Chaps have fished out a book from the 1970s called “Boiling Water In A Paper Cup”. It’s packed with puzzles, games, riddles and Paul and Eli attempt to answer some of the more unusual challenges in the book. It does not go well! In fact it’s quite embarrassing. For both of them. The idiots. Elsewhere in the podcast, it’s time to dive into the post box and pull out a brand-new Tales from the Shop Floor. In this edition, there is a terrible tale of store wars as two competing music shops battle to the bitter end. It’s more economy comedy goodness. Join us!

Behold! It can bring sweet delights, or it can bring terrible pain. It contains tat amassed from the forgotten corners of the podcast and it all reside in one place… The mythical “Black Bin Bag”! What will Paul an Eli discover this week as they take a deep dive into the unknown? Maybe there will be something delightful to nibble on, or maybe even a toy to tinker with! All the cheap chaps know is that ANYTHING could happen over the next hour. Join them for their 2nd deep dive into the bric-a-brac abyss that lurches from fast food toys, 80’s Claymation mascots, retro gadgets to Scottish snacks, odd chocolate and LOTS more besides. As if to make things more epic, there is a hidden “Price of Shite” game buried in amongst the ephemera, if Eli can find the right number of special items, he has the chance to win a very special prize. If he fails, Gannon’s taking it home. The stakes couldn’t be higher… for a podcast about charity shop treasures, that is! Oh, and apologies for the many uses of the “C-Word”, but unless Eli starts treating our brand-new characters with respect, he is going to get strong blowback! Let the madness begin!

This week, the cheap chaps dive into Eli's record collection to uncover a new charity shop purchase. If you are too young to remember, you'll have no idea what "Buzby" is. To be fair, Paul and Eli don't really remember it either, but it brings them back around to talking about Bernard Cribbins, which is nice! He seems nice. If you have ever wondered what a 1970s promotional pop single for the national phone service sounds like, you'll find out in this week's podcast. In fact, if it wasn't for Eli's instance that Paul tries some hot sauce and chili candy, this would be quite the musical episode! Are you ready for "Fizzy Gravy (The Cod Song)"? You won't be!

We're back! To celebrate the start of a brand-new year, CheapShow has decided to make a very special podcast. This week, to celebrate its 40th anniversary (ok, we just missed it but...) Paul and Eli are taking to the streets of Northwest London to try and track down the locations of a film no one has probably even heard of! In 1981 a TV movie called "Dangerous Davies" was broadcast, starring Bernard Cribbins, based on a series of barely popular books. As it turns out, it was filmed in the area Eli grew up, so he decides to use this expedition as an excuse to revisit some of his old childhood haunts... and Paul has to put up with it! Is this our most pointless episode to date? Probably! Come join the Cheap Chaps on yet another walkabout episode that quickly strays from the path.

Ep 261: The 3rd Annual Office Christmas Party

Another year gone, another Christmas is on it's way and unfortunately that means it's time for another drunken, angry CheapShow Office Party. As the booze flows, Paul and Eli attempt to bring some Yuletide cheer to economy comedy podcast in the only way they know how... badly! Paul makes a tonne of effort and Eli manages to do less than nothing and that makes Paul turn to the bottle. They break open some budget Xmas Crackers, sample some inexpensive booze, cheap festive eats and manage to ruin several well-loved Christmas songs by giving them a CheapShow update. You have been warned. For the grand finale, Paul has curated a very special "Price of Shite" for Eli to tackle. If Eli is successful, there is a very special prize indeed! But just when the office party was starting to become a more heart-warming experience, Paul simply had to answer his phone... And it all ends rather badly! If you can survive this Xmas party, you can survive any of them! Merry Christmas!

Ep 260: Swear Tennis

E

All the plans are thrown out of the window this week when the planned "walkabout" episode is postponed because Paul can't "walk about". As a result, the Cheap Chaps have thrown together a makeshift episode that we hope brings you some pleasure. Unlike Paul's back. With Paul in pain and Eli in charge, it's going to get pretty messy. The CheapShow email inbox reveals a new Tales from the Shop Floor, a strange and dangerous story... which sadly devolves into trying to define what "shotgunning" a toilet really means. Meanwhile, two very familiar voices pop up when it's time to play "Off Brand/Brand Off", but what's been going on with our two favourite fugitives? OH! Paul also got a TENS machine to help ease his agony, but will he entrust its power to Eli? You're going to have to listen to find out!
