I remember reading somewhere that americans do not use electric kettles often because their electrical grid runs on a lower voltage than most of the world. This would slow down the boiling process to roughly double the time while using the common heating elements in cheap kettles.

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…

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

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 306: Two Conspiracies

As the year rolls to an end, Paul and Eli decide to cram in one last walkabout adventure that will eventually push them a little harder than they were expecting! After discovering something called “The Celandine Route” they decide to take on all twelve miles of it in four hours, despite the guide suggesting it will take six. Can they pull it off and also attempt a modular, al fresco Price of Shite that Paul has procured? As you can imagine, it’s not going to be as easy as the Cheap Chaps think. Along the walk, which follows the River Pinn through green spaces, conservation areas and wildlife retreats, Paul and Eli will argue, complain, rage, laugh and annoy each other every step of the way. Will the relentless mud, pitch black, misty surroundings and chilly autumnal weather be too much for them? You’re going to have to listen to find out… Sorry about that!

Ep 310: A Ball Of Chalk

Paul is ready to record another thrilling episode of CheapShow this week, but Eli forgot to tell him he doesn’t have the time. He’s off to Florida (again) to visit his family so he can’t record a full edition of the pod. Undefeated. Paul whips out his time machine macguffin and hops between the present (or the past, as of the recording) into the future (or the present… It really doesn’t matter) to see if Mr Biffo is interested, once again, in taking on a timey-wimey Price of Shite. This (last) week, the POS items come from a PO Box delivery and contain three cute charity shop curated curios. Both Mr Biffo and Eli will evaluate these items and guess the price, but which one will come out victorious? Only time will tell. Oh, and it also seems like there are more nefarious schemes afoot behind the scenes, but what can it all be leading to? Yes, it’s a pointlessly gimmicky episode, folks! Enjoy!

Ep 319: Another Tale of Two Podcasts

When Eli returned from America, he came bearing gifts. Sadly, those gifts were cheap snacks bought from gas stations in Florida. None of this seems like a particularly good idea. There’s mystery meat, misguided gummies and peculiar Peeps to sample as well as something Paul is pretty sure is spoiled. Elsewhere in the show, there are more musical musings to be had when Silverman’s Platter showcases a Thunderbirds themed rave track, a rap from Barnsley Bill and a vinyl record full of nothing but laugh tracks. Along the way, the Cheap Chaps get lost in way too much vulgar punnery, create the “Wacky Boys” sitcom, and barely keep their s*** together. Enjoy!

Ep 321: Sprayonnaise

Paul reopens his candy store this week and invites Eli in to sample his latest sweet offerings. Surprisingly, they’ve never covered jellies before (or jams, if you prefer) and they thought they’d look for the cheapest to see if they pass muster. Will a Vimto or Slush Puppie jelly be any good, or will they be embarrassed by the Hartley’s brands? CheapShow intends to find out! It’s also been a while since we last had a Tales from the Shop Floor on the show and so the cheap chaps dip their toes into another tale of woe from the world of commerce. Before you think that this all seems pretty normal, bear in mind that in this episode, Eli tries to convince his new “mink” character isn’t a total embarrassment and Paul would rather come up with a load of mucky James Bond film baddies. Bloody idiots.

Ep 327: Silversquirt

When it comes to cup noodles, we sometimes wonder if they are so preoccupied with whether of not they could make wild new flavours and didn’t stop to think if they should. On this week’s CheapShow, Paul and Eli are about to find out if Nissin’s Cup Noodles have gone too far. Can a “breakfast flavoured” noodle be anything other than disgusting muck? Will Nissin’s winning streak finally end on this very episode? You are going to have to listen to find out! Before they can dive in, the Cheap Chaps have a few choice vinyl platters to wade though first. There’s an odd collection of music curios to sample, with offerings from Smiths Crisps, The Bolton Bullfrog and a reggae track packed with farts! This is definitely a weirdo week… and Paul and Eli’s egos may be getting the better of them too!

Ep 330: The Pork Open

What’s all this then? Everything is back to front on this week’s episode. Instead of Eli, Paul is going to be the Super Taster in Off Brand/Brand Off. Can Paul pick out the HP Sauce amongst a few imitators? It’s a proper saucy romp as there are surprises abound in this battle of the brown sauces! Later in the show, Gannon’s Golden Games becomes Eli’s Excellent Entertainments as it is Mr Silverman who has discovered the board game! They both get to dabble in a bit of nostalgia as they try to wrap their heads around the rules for the Dad’s Army game, based on the very popular 1970s BBC sitcom. However, there is one draw back to having the hosts swap roles… Eli’s is going to get a taste of his own medicine, and Paul’s playing doctor!

Ep 331: Brown Sauce

In Episode 310, all those months ago, Paul and Eli attempted to complete the whole of the Celandine Walk in 6 hours. They absolutely failed and had to abandon the walk because Eli had somewhere better to be, apparently! However, this failure got under their skin, and they decided that they both need closure. This week, the Cheap Chaps decide to finish off what they started and endeavour to complete that walk, taking them from Swakeleys Park to the Grand Union Canal in Cowley. That means there is a good five miles of walking ahead of them! Along the way, they decide to also cram in another modular “Price of Shite” and guess the prices of seven weird and wonderful charity shop finds. Who will win the most “p’twings” by the end of the journey? Why do they keep getting lost? What happens when they run out of places to walk to and who smokes too much and nearly whites out? Find out in this bumper walkabout edition of CheapShow!

Ep 334: The Walk Men (A Ball Of Chalk Part Two)

There is a lot going on at the moment. Paul and Eli (but mostly Paul) are organising Urinevision 2023 (live on YouTube Friday 2nd June at 8pm GMT!) but Paul hasn’t got the time to mess about with all that “editing business”, so they’re going to deliver one of their patented “real time” episode. No cuts, no retakes, just 60 minutes of raw CheapShow action that dives into cheap spicy noodles, some limited edition flavoured soft drinks and, unfortunately, some bloody Durian Cookies. Obviously, this means this episode can’t end well. Will their stomachs survive the episode? Find out as the Cheap Chaps slap on the lapel mics and go a-wanderin’ around Eli’s abode. OH! We also announce the 10 finalists for Urinevision 2023 too! Listen in and find out if your track was lucky/unlucky enough to make it to the live show!

Ep 1: Brian Wecht Lowers His Standards

CheapShow is a comedy podcast all about getting the very best out of the worst! Be it Poundlands, Charity Shops, Car Boot Sales or Bargain Bins, hosts Paul Gannon & Eli Silverman poke around in the corners of the high streets and internet to find treasure in the trash.

One week it could be a studio based show, the next, a live comedy event. It could even be a location report or a scripted adventure! A few things it is, however, is rude, crude, silly and drizzled in pop culture, nostalgia and plenty of verbal violence!

It has guests, videos, songs, reviews, games and dares.  We apologise in advance!
