Special Guest: Tom Mayhew
With episode 250 just one week away, Paul & Eli haven't got any major plans to celebrate this special occasion! However, it looks as though fate has a plan of its own! Until then, it's business as usual for the economy comedy podcast as the Cheap Chaps dive into a fizzy mound of cheap soft drinks and dig up a rather odd parody of The Game of Life. This week, CheapShow is happy to welcome comedian Tom Mayhew (BBC Radio 4's "Tom Mayhew is Benefits Scum") onto the podcast to wade through the usual mucky delights. Can he survive the onslaught of Mambo Number 5 facts, wrestling fantasies, bull semen theories and Paul's new toilet routine? More importantly, Tom achieves something of a CheapShow first, even if Eli has major reservations about it!

Ep 249: Game of Strife

What would you do if you had agonising back pain and you couldn't concentrate because of said ailment? In Paul's case, he decides to press on with a podcast recording. This may not be the best plan, especially when Eli is in another of his "moods". In amongst the screaming laughter and the laughter induced screams, the Cheap Chaps still manage to make another episode! This week, there is some unfinished business at The Froth Shop when Paul & Eli finally finish off the range of Candy Can drinks. We can also promise that this edition of Silverman's Platters may contain the most awkward, awful disco track ever! It will truly curdle the soul... And that's before we tackle yet another 80s comedy novelty hit from Saturday morning TV's favourite double act. No, the other one. Crack out the pain killers everyone, CheapShow's at it again, mother!!

Ep 258: Banjo Twang

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 275: The Sloshed Family Silverman

Some week’s Paul and Eli can afford to take it easy. After the exertions of last week’s epic Golden Quest, it’s probably for the best that they let someone else do the hard work of building an episode. Thankfully, there is a PO Box delivery from listeners Karen and Adam that does all the heavy lifting. Inside (amongst other things) is a carefully curated mix of cheap eats and a pretty solid selection of Price of Shite items. What will they make of the Ketchup crisps, pretzel pieces and Blue Ball Bonbons is anyone’s guess, but the biggest question is who will reign victorious and get the most p’twings in the Price of Shite? The important thing to remember is that despite the open goal they’ve been given, Paul and Eli will find a way to ruin it for themselves. Typical!

Ep 343: An Episode In A Box

Special Guest: Gareth Reynolds
Things are looking up for Paul and Eli this week. The big wedding is just around the corner and Thrift Pod has been defeated! To celebrate, Paul ruminates on the dream guest for CheapShow and imagines what it would be like if comedian Gareth Reynolds was on the show. Sadly, this means that the only thing that can ruin this experience is his own imagination. Which it then proceeds to do. Poor Gareth is subjected to perverted personal electric blankets, a rude and vulgar board game, an album from 1980s icon Roland Rat and wraps it all up with a book that seemed more exciting when Paul first saw it… But in actual fact? It doesn’t go well. Along the way, Gareth will learn about “posh wanks”, Kunt and the Gang and tell us all about the Milwaukee Milverine! Thankfully, it’s all in Paul’s head. Or is it?

Ep 349: Dream Guest

There's just one week before we reveal our Los Angeles adventures to the podcast world, so before then, let's dive into some more good, old-fashion Cheapshow goodness! Firstly, an email to the podcast shines a whole new light on a Silverman's Platter track they discussed a few weeks ago. Paul and Eli learn a little more about "Dog and Bone" by Johnny and the Ansaphones, that both surprises and delights! The Cheap Chaps also cover a game for Gannon's Golden Games that is a spin on a VERY familiar classic. Wordle may have some competition. However, on the off chance that it's not very interesting, Paul has a pretty awful plan to try and sex the segment up. Finally, Eli is on Off Brand/Brand Off duties when McCoy's crisps goes up against a much cheaper interloper. Beware the Quirf!

Ep 356: A Log In The Gob

In 2004, Shaun of the Dead was released into cinemas and its particular mix of horror and comedy quickly made it a beloved cult classic… Turns out Paul was on set as a zombie extra during the production of this movie and he has a few stories to tell about it. It’s a pity he will hardly get the chance to do so! To celebrate the film’s 20th anniversary, CheapShow decides to explore North London to hunt for some of the real life locations from the ZomRomCom hit. They’ll roam Finchley, Highgate, Crouch End and even take a long trip to South London for their final location in New Cross Gate. It’s an epic journey that has Eli trying to inject his own misinformed opinions and hijack the walk with his memories… Which means Paul can barely be able to recall his own! They’ll argue, digress and talk absolute garbage in yet another failed attempt to be taken seriously. Luckily, they manage to bump into comedian/actor Paul Putner who’ll offer a few of his own SotD stories to balance out Paul and Eli’s nonsense.

Ep 383: Walk of the Shaun of the Dead

Special Guest Eggsy (from Goldie Lookin Chain)

It's time again for CheapShow to wander blindly into the world of the supernatural and pray they escape with their lives with a horror special!

This week the boys over use the spooky sound effects and ghostly music to bring you a show jammed packed with Halloween Goodness....

HOWL in despair as Paul rolls off more of his purifying puns!
SCREAM as Eli tells a tale of vampire seductresses! 
GROAN with anguish with Ash Frith's tall tales of terror.
SHRIEK as our special guest, Eggsy (from that Welsh Rap band you like) has to referee the world's whitest rap battle about Les Dennis.
GASP with surprise as The Hadron Gospel Hour podcast interrupts the show to save all the universes!
WHISPER in fear as Eli creates his own monster using Paul's face and £5 of horror make up.
WAIL with fear as Eli gets possessed by the spirit of another long dead 80's comedian.
CRY for your sins as all the lads chow down on a disgusting selection of "Trick R Treat" candy.
And SQUEAL until you pass out as Eli's Top 3 Horror Movies discussion comes to another verbally violent conclusion!

So turn out the lights, draw a candle close and pray that listening to our Halloween special is the only thing keeping you alive for one more night...

Ep 6: Eggsy's Trick Or Treat

This week, we have nothing. No. Genuinely, we have absolutely nothing. We finally ran out of things to do! The lock down has cut us off from our usual supplies and so Paul and Eli resort to desperate measures. Very desperate. What's available, absolutely free and can do a lot of creative heavy lifting? Why! It's public domain songs and stories. This week, the cheap chaps burrow through the public domain landfill and come back with their own horrific take on songs and popular characters from the olden days. We are VERY sorry in advance. We didn't know it would turn out this way. What have we done? WHAT HAVE WE DONE??!?!

Ep 185: Public Domain Stupidity

It's a new year and CheapShow keeps on truckin' on with more economy comedy goodness! And what a packed show it is, Guv'nor! This week, we eat some truly weird and wonderful snacks and open up the "Crisp and Snack Lab" where we can experiment with some very unusual flavours. Thanks to the PO Box, we get to go full Frankenstein with a bag of "Create-A-Crisp"s and invent 3 new taste sensations! There is also a shocking tongue bashing in the form of "Zombie Takis" and that's before we even dive into a bag of truly bizarre Kit Kat snacks. Oh there's also The Bash Street Kids, Hot Sauces, X Factor Top Trumps and a Dead Bat too. Nearly forgot about that stuff. See? It's packed... maybe too packed. We didn't even mention all the new characters. Apologies in advance.

Ep 212: Create-A-Crisp

Football is a sport. It's something Paul & Eli know very little about, but here we are, talking about sport. Kinda. This week is a Silverman's Platter bonanza where we tackle 3 very different types of vinyl oddities. This week, we look into the odd musical career of 1980s comedy double act, The Krankies, we dive into the surprisingly deep history of The Birdie Song and end by exploring the weird popularity of the UK Football team pop single trend. It yields some very interesting facts and fancies. Remember, Paul and Eli know nothing about footy, so we apologise in advance for continuously calling the song "Three Lions" "Four Lions". It's a packed pod, but you also get a quick dose of noodle news, hear about Eli's new anxiety dream and find out what he thinks an old lady should do with a hot dog. So there's that. Join us!

Ep 214: Krankies, Ducks & Goals

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!
