It’s been a while, but Eli and Paul are finally diving into a new batch of instant noodle. It’s a new year and because the Country Urban Noodle Testlab Kitchen is “occupied”, Eli is going to have to open up the “Noodle Boutique”. It’s a place where Eli can show off his hand picked noodle discoveries, and this week, he’s got two very interesting examples! Will they pass muster? Listen and find out! Paul contributes to this episode by simply p****** Eli off with a range of new and annoying characters. There’s a mean old man, a Scouse poet and a desperate ghost hunter out to ruin Eli’s return to noodletown. Maybe a quick game of The Price of Shite will make him feel better. Spoiler Warning: It doesn’t! More mucky business on CheapShow awaits you.

Ep 374: Noodle Boutique

Sometimes, when Paul and Eli ask a big name to join the podcast, they fully expect the answer to be No. So when comedy legend Robert Popper agrees to appear, the Cheap Chaps are going to have to pull out all the stops to make this episode special. Luckily, Robert has come prepared and he’s brought along with him something sonically demented. It’s been a guilty pleasure of Robert’s for over 30 years and he’s agreed to share it with CheapShow. Prepare your ears for something even Urinevision would reject. What is “Scared of Me”? Who is Clifford? You’ll find out soon enough! Meanwhile, Paul has decided to make this week’s “Price of Shite” extra special for their guest. He’s tailored his cheap treasures around Robert’s career… But Paul may have gotten a bit confused. As if that wasn’t enough, we have another extra special guest who pops up to make for a grand finale! Cor blimey guv’nor! I can’t believe my ears!

With Special Guests: Robert Popper & Paul Putner (Spoilers!)

Ep 375: Scared Of Us

They said it would never happen, but somehow it has! For the first time in over 5 years, the Barshens team have gathered in London for a special reunion episode of CheapShow! Paul and Eli welcome Stuart Ashen, Barry Lewis, Chris Bullock, Ryan Livermore and Izzie Jones (kinda) into their podcast world. It’s a packed show. Paul kicks things off with a few Sharticles, ranging from sexed up whales and dead hamsters to late library books and smooth bollocks. Along the way, there’ll be plenty of nonsensical tangents too. Not only that, but Paul crafts a Gannon’s Golden Games Gauntlet edition of Bars Vs Hens. Barry versus Stuart in three games to test their agility, creativity and dexterity. It’s the ultimate game of skill with a shocking outcome! Ryan and Chris get to play along too, as they’ll be betting on who will win AND play The Price of Shite for some quality p’twings! If you need your Barshens fix, this is the episode you have (probably) all been waiting for. Barshens Rises!!

Ep 377: Barshens Rises

Every year Eli races off to Florida to spend time with his family, but he always makes sure he brings back something for the show. This week on CheapShow, Eli has a big bag of bounty filled to the brim with all kinds of snacks, treats and drinks. Maybe too many. It’s a food stuffed episode of CheapShow that has the cheap chaps tackle Buffalo Cheetos, Doritos Dinamita Sticks, Hot Nuts and (sadly for Paul) potted meat. Horrible potted meat. Hopefully the soft drink segment of the podcast will wash away any unpleasantness, as there are three fun sodas to sample. The only downside is that this part of the show allows Paul to make a load more enemies by proclaiming his hate for a particular type of pop! In amongst all the snacking, we get to catch up with TrackBot… Poor old TrackBot!

Ep 378: Gob Job

It’s another week of American snacks as Eli brings more sweet treats to the table. How will the Cosmos Oreos, Hostess Orange Cupcakes and Dr Pepper Peeps go down? More importantly, what exactly do Horse flavoured fried bread taste like? Paul and Eli are going to find out. There are some musical curios to listen to this week, and in a change from the norm, Paul is bringing the vinyl record goodness instead. There is a fascinating dive in the life of radio presenter and “soul singer” Steve Walsh and we also find out what a disco hit designed to entice Burnley Building Society customers sounds like… Especially when you consider who wrote the lyrics! Sadly, the addition of music to the show means another appearance from Trackbot and he still being defiled by anyone and everyone! It’s all very sticky business.

Ep 379: Expressionate Men

It’s common on CheapShow that we’ll have to look at the genesis of a very popular (or obscure) brand and often run straight to the arms of Wikipedia. Well, no more! In this week’s episode, Paul’s found a book called “How It All Began” that gives the potted history of some of the world’s most popular brands. There’s way too much to cover in one episode, so the cheap chaps pick a page each and find out more about the birth of plasticine and Y Fronts. Yes, Y Fronts! It’s a book that may come in handy in the future. Gannon’s Golden Games returns with a board game based on a reasonably recent ITV show that Paul & Eli have never heard of, nor care much for. However, it leads to one of the most exciting, twisty and thrilling games in the pod’s history. As if all that wasn’t enough, Graxton Industries have challenged CheapShow to create an event for sponsorship in the near future, but will their eventual plan be any good? Only time will tell. Also… Can Eli PLEASE stop grabbing his crotch, please?!

Ep 380: Brand Aide

Oh Muvva! This week’s episode of CheapShow is a brain melting, word gargling, logic defying audio adventure into the madness of Paul and Eli. Eli is excited to showcase another Noodle Pot Blitz with a wide range of favours and gimmicks. Some will delight and some will disgust, but they will ALL be judged by the world’s best noodle opinionators. Elsewhere in the podcast, CheapShow “scholar” Ivenne has sent the Cheap Chaps another Price of Shite package, packed with an assortment of weird and woeful items. Sadly, this leads to one of CheapShow biggest s*** shows. It also doesn’t help that Paul and Eli are running on fumes and you know what that means for the actual comedy content of this episode… It’s going to get weird.

Ep 381: Three Swiss Francs

Sometimes it can get TOO exciting on CheapShow at times! This week is no exception as Paul and Eli decide to see if all Ready Salted crisps are created equal. They’ve sourced six different types of “pre salted potato crisp snacks” to put through a rigorous flavour test, with Super Taster Eli J Silverman dolling out his expertise and opinions. Will the cheap Smiths crisps be able to compete with the mega brand Walkers, and how do they all stack up against the fancy kettle style crisps? It’s a potentially gripping segment, if you are the type of person to have strong beliefs on snacks. It’s not just salty treats on offer either! Paul has grabbed a load of super sour candies to excite and possibly appal the taste buds. Hopefully Paul doesn’t injure his mouth in the process. That would be terrible… About as terrible as his apparently psychic bum hole and dark homunculus magic spells. Oh CheapShow, never change!

Ep 382: A Right Royal Ready Salted Rank Off

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

“Is there such thing as Too Much Sauce?” That’s the question CheapShow will have to answer this week when Eli turns up to the recording with a massive bag of random sauces. Donated to the podcast following a live show last year, these sauces have been festering in The House of Pickles for months, just waiting to be devoured by eager mouths. That time is now. Originally there were 16 sauces to tackle, but luckily half of them can be discounted, but that still leaves 8 interesting condiments to put to the taste test. The only real problem here is that Paul is tired and grumpy and is in no mood to gobble down saucy muck. Things don’t get any better when the Price of Shite is revealed, leading to a rather fractured game of tat pricing action. It’s a choice selection, ranging from the odd to the deranged.

Ep 384: Dikkeneks

Sometimes all Eli and Paul need is a bit of Moog music to quell their troubled souls. What they present this week ranges from the misguided to the truly odd. On Silverman’s Platters they’ll investigate the strange Flamenco Moog, a track inspired by the sport of Ping Pong and a piece of music from a long forgotten, and oddly sci-fi flavoured, 1970s musical! Let’s hope the Cheap Chaps get through all these tracks quickly as Track-Bot is apparently about to reboot! Thanks to a kind listener, CheapShow has another PO Box sourced Price of Shite to investigate. As they try to guess the correct pounds and pence, they’ll discover a bit about the confectioners Bassetts, try to figure out the maths of 3D Tic-Tac-Toe and give their worthless opinions on the legendary Goon Show radio show. All this and much, much less!

Ep 385: Fallow Moments

To Paul’s surprise, it turns out that CheapShow has never tackled the classic TV game show “Celebrity Squares” on Gannon’s Golden Games, so to rectify that, he’s whipping out the 1970s board game for this week’s episode. However, what makes “Celebrity Squares” so interesting are all those famous faces that gives the show a bit of class and humour, and the Cheap Chaps don’t have of those kinds of people hanging around… So, they will have to invent their own Celebrities instead, and that can only be a mistake, right? You’ll learn the hard way how successful they were! Before we get to that board game show down, there is an Off Brand/Brand Off to enjoy. Eli has his “supertaster” taste buds ready to go to see if he can spot the “Ben’s Original” microwavable Mexican Rice from the knock off offerings. Will the Aldi or Tesco alternatives come out on top and what will be the best value for money? As ever, CheapShow has all the answers, you just need to brave enough to press “Play”…!

Ep 386: Celebrities Squared

It should’ve been an easy adventure for Paul and Eli. The plan was to meet at Woolwich Arsenal and get the Clipper west along the Thames to Putney Pier, along the way they would play some games and nibble on some snacks… But things are never that simple for the CheapShow boys! Instead, they’ll battle delayed trains, false starts, inaccurate timetables, cancelled bus routes and Paul’s insistence that Eli has become a drug addled gambler. They’ll do their best to fit some actual “cheap” content into this week’s episode, but it will be hard to do so in amongst their squabbling and ever changing travel plans. Will they make the Clipper? Will they get around to eating those Bubble Gum flavoured Crisps? Do they know where they are going? Will they even be able to get home? Find out in this accidentally epic race through the centre of London!

Ep 387: Day Clipper

Lights! Camera! Action! This week on CheapShow, we present the podcast edition of our YouTube Live Stream event… “The Trash Cannes Film Festival 2024” (sponsored by Graxton Industries)! Paul has arranged an evening of experimental short films, movie chat and a glittering awards ceremony. As you can imagine, it doesn’t exactly go to plan for Mr Gannon and there will be tears before bedtime as everything begins to collapse around him. A big part of Paul’s problem is Eli’s ego and his demands for “samples”. Will he get his hands on the mysterious Graxton chemicals and what will he say to accusations of plagiarism? Luckily, Ethan Lawrence joins us to add a bit of star power and represent his masterful mini movie! Sadly, Eli and Ethan are going to fall out, pretty quickly! And that’s before we even get to the horror of the short films themselves AND Channel 84’s sticky offering! FINALLY, as this event happened last week, Paul and Eli have recorded over 45 minutes of new, podcast exclusive, material to explain what’s going on and make many, many apologies. The show must go on!

With HUGE thanks to: 
Tom from Channel 84, Ethan Lawrence for appearing live, Vorratony for the exclusive art for this episode AND Ash Frith, Stuart Ashen, Richard Sandling, Tom Mayhew, John Matthews, Ben Baker, Alexis Strum & Paul Putner for their contributions to the show!

Ep 388: The 2024 Trash Cannes Film Festival (Interrupted)

If there is one thing CheapShow loves without exception, it’s Tomy toys from yesteryear! We’ve covered much of their back catalogue in the past, but this week we have three items that are very beloved. Paul and Eli get to tinker with kitties in a Water Wonderland game, battle sharks with the Tomytronic 3D “Shark Attack” toy and take on the challenge of Screwball Scramble: Level 2! How will Tomy fare? Only CheapShow has the answers! Also on the show, we wet our whistles with three soft drinks, two of which will probably be godawful, and investigate “milky straws” that are filled with candy flavoured beads. Will they make the milk better or worse? We sample two new “Candy Cans” but it’s almost a foregone conclusion that the cheap chaps will not take kindly to them. Maybe Eli’s new Red Bull (sigh) will save the day? If not, don’t worry, as Eli is obsessed with making crude jokes involving genitals and types of fish. As you can expect, Paul isn’t too impressed, but despite suffering from food poisoning whilst recording, he’s going to have to craft a gag to appease Eli before the day is over. Oh Joy!

Ep 389: The Tomy Triple

Sometimes people accuse CheapShow of being “too” random. With that in mind, Paul and Eli are about to throw a bit of chaos theory into their usual “walkabout” episodes. Following the principles of “The Theory of the Dérive” and using an app called “Randonautica” CheapShow is heading into South London to plot an unplanned journey through its streets and parks. Will the Cheap Chaps stop focusing on their everyday relationship to their social environment and start seeing the world differently, or will all that booze they’ve brought along with them create the kind of chaos that no app could possibly generate? As Paul and Eli pinball around Colliers Wood (because why not?), they’ll battle the high temperatures, odd liminal locations and confusing maps until it all gets too much. It’s another epic adventure on an epically small scale!

Ep 390: Dérive Time!

If there is one thing you can say about Eli, it’s that he is tenacious when it comes to trying to sell an awful gag. His problem is he never thought to think ahead at what may happen next. Of course, Paul is going to try and run the joke into the ground and spoil it for everyone. Luckily, there is plenty to be getting on with. Eli’s found 3 condiments for The Sauce Report to taste and review. One is going to be cheesy, one is going to tasty, and one is going to piss Paul and Eli off greatly! The second half of the show brings you another Paul’s Pleasant Pastimes segment and Mr Gannon has got another one of games that really needs three players to enjoy properly. What pleasures will “Snake Oil” bring to the podcast? As you can most likely predict, it’s going to get out of hand (as per usual), when they attempt to become secret admirers, clowns & bouncers in a ropey bit of role play!

Ep 391: Shepherd's Delight

It’s been a while since Paul or Eli curated their own Price of Shite segment. Whilst it’s always delightful to receive P.o.S offerings in our PO Box, they wanted to see if they still had it in them to find the most weird and wonderful charity shop oddities. This week, Paul ran around Muswell Hill in North London to grab five items to parade before his co-host. It’s up to Eli to wade through all five curios and put a price on each and every one. As a result, this edition of The Price of Shite spans the whole length of the episode and bounces across some familiar CheapShow segments. We listen to a smutty sci-fi record, evaluate some board game merch, read up on some London Underground facts and even play an improvised rap based board game! And yes, it IS every bit as cringe as you fear! But WAIT! Who is this strange fellow lurking in the shadows? Who is Professor Joke Thief? Find out this week!

Ep 392 Professor Joke Thief

CheapShow is back on the snacks on this edition of the economy comedy podcast. Thanks to yet another brilliant box of goodies from Ivenne, Paul and Eli will get to sample a range of weird and (hopefully) wonderful, flavoured popcorn. There will be some surprises along the way, some good and some very, very bad! One may even turn Paul’s stomach! After all the popcorn has been rated and reviewed, it’s time to pop over to Silverman’s Platter to investigate some “interesting” musical vinyl offerings. They’ll hear more from Black Lace and discuss their self-styled “holiday camp novelty pop” track, “I Speaka Da Lingo!”. It doesn’t end there either! CheapShow discovers the work of Jon Isherwood, Portsmouth’s own godfather of “Polk” music. What starts with “Apple Pie” will end with “The Cucumber Song” and Jon’s own legacy. If all that isn’t enough, Paul and Eli will be visited by food reviewer John Gunty who will give us his own thoughts, as long as his wife stops interrupting… And as ever… Poor Track Bot (you’ll find out why this week)!

Ep 393: Popcorn And Polk

Yee-haw! Howdy Partners! This week, for no reason whatsoever, there is a “Wild West” theme to this particular “walkabout” episode. Paul and Eli are on the run from the Justice of the Peace and have decided to hide out in the woods and guzzle down their illegal moonshine. If the worst happens, they’ll have to shoot their way to freedom! What this actually means is that the Cheap Chaps will be putting on awful cowboy accents, running around Trent Park like idiots and drinking a range of unusual, flavoured Desperados beers. It has all the ingredients for an episode packed with chaos and stupidity. During their epic adventure, they’ll attempt to dangle from a broken swing, hold down that vile booze, abuse joggers under a obelisk and attempt a gun fight finale to see who is best sharpshooter! It’s a hot day and it’s all going to get weird and messy in this 2 hour 30 min odyssey!

Ep 394: A Bagful of Desperados

After weeks of harassment, Paul and Eli finally get their hands on Heinz Pickle Ketchup this week and give their final analysis on the product. Will it be worth the wait? Probably not. It’s a packed episode in general with a Sauce Report, a Charity Shop Showcase and a PO Box sourced Price of Shite to evaluate. Paul’s CSS item was meant to be a showstopper, guaranteed to wow his co-host, but it may be that his offering is a load of old balls. Will it join the Showcase, or will it have No Place? The show wraps up with a truly useless Price of Shite competition, a festival of garbage to price up for those much desired “p’twings”. If all that isn’t enough, the podcast welcomes The King of Pepsi to the show and Eli takes an INSTANT dislike to him, AND Paul says, “the funniest thing he’s ever said”! That’s quite the claim, we guess it’s up to YOU to decide. Enjoy!

Ep 395: The Quid's Gambit

Often, the “Paul’s Page Turners” segment of the show can offer up some wild and unfathomable books to investigate, but this week’s choice is a truly mad experience. Paul and Eli may be skeptics when it comes to all things supernatural, but they’re willing to hear a story out if it shows promise. The book in question was sold in Cancer Research Charity Shops across the UK and is entitled, “The Show Must Go On: Book Two”. Written by a possibly naïve believer, Malcom Thorogood’s proof of life after death comes in the form of visitations from one of the UK’s most notorious 1980s light entertainers… Freddie Starr! The man who allegedly ate a hamster (!!) and dealt in high energy, near crazed comedy is now back from the dead to offer some mindboggling experiences from beyond the grave. Paul is gobsmacked and Eli doesn’t believe one bit of it! But hey, if you don’t like ghosts there’s an “Off Brand Brand Off” segment to enjoy. Eli must rank FIVE orange soda brands to see if the Fanta or Tango brands are up to scratch compared to some considerably cheaper alternatives! See? There’s something for everyone!

Ep 396: Freddie Starr Swallowed My Soul

Sometimes it’s just too hot to record the podcast indoors. On the hottest day of the year, Paul and Eli take the episode outside to craft some sun-baked economy comedy content. However, this is not a “walkabout” episode, not at all! This is a “sitabout” episode. They venture to a quiet meadow near Crouch End called Shepherd’s Cot where they can record the podcast in relative privacy… Apart from all the random nosy dogs and weird men coming out of bushes! This week, Eli has brought along four unusual sodas to sample. Except one isn’t a soft drink. In fact, they’re not sure WHAT it is. Obviously, Eli loves it. Even in the scorching sun, Paul has time to play a game of The Price of Shite and Eli is looking for a victory for a change. Good luck to him! The sun’s out, so the fun’s out!

Ep 397: Two Hot Men

It’s a big old busy week at CheapShow HQ, as Paul and Eli are going to be spending most this week FILMING episode 400. However, this means that Paul doesn’t fancy doing a full proper editing job on the podcast, so demands a “real time” one hour episode. Uncut. Almost Uncut. Despite the tight time limit, the cheap chaps actually cram quite a lot into the episode. They’ll gobble down liquorice chocolate, slurp some odd Irn Bru soda, snack on some truffle chips and attempt to swallow a sour “Warhead’s flavoured” pickle. And that’s just the tip of the overstuffed iceberg. To make things even more “interesting”, Paul and Eli are playing a secret game in the background, but it’s threatening to detail the podcast before the show even gets started. Who will “Get Got”? Find out in this week’s breakneck episode!

THIS is the MONO (Keep it simple) VERSION

Ep 398: Don't Get Got (Stereo Edition)

In a change to their usual fortunes, Paul and Eli are getting to talk about CheapShow in a proper TV show. They’ve been invited to the studios of London Live near the centre of London for a quick chat about their forthcoming 400th episode. However, once the interview is done, what are the Cheap Chaps going to do next. They don’t really have an idea either! So, when all is said and done, they will do what they do best… They ramble onwards. In an impromptu “walkabout” episode, they’ll zip through East London, along the South Bank and back into the city centre and take in the sights, sounds and unfortunate smells of the capital! 400 is coming and so Paul and Eli decide to chill and take it easy this week. How do you think that goes?

Ep 399: Rambling On (Mono Edition)

This is not Episode 400. It’s not an episode of CheapShow and it’s not the 400th. The 400th episode is on YouTube. We did a proper thing for 400, this is not that thing.

This is a waste of your time.

It’s sloppy, drunken, rambling, random, knocked off nonsense.
PLEASE do NOT listen to this. Whatever this is.

This is where 400 is:

Ep 400: This Is NOT Episode 400

After all the excitement of 400, it’s back to the usual audio nonsense this week as Paul and Eli are joined by returning guest, Tom Mayhew! In a “much longer than expected” recording session, the terrible trio sample a range of odd fizzy pop and sample some homemade hot sauce! After much fuss, they’ve managed to secure the latest Coca Cola creation which is mixed with the flavour of Oreo cookies! Will it be more effervescent muck? Who knows? They also look into the curious fixation Germans apparently have with orange cola, and so they’ve got their hands on the premier brand to taste. As Tom is a bit of a Snooker fan, Paul’s found a board game based around the multi-balled sport called “Steve Davis Pot Black Snooker Break”! Hopefully it won’t be as dull as it looks. And FINALLY, Tom surprises Paul and Eli with a quiz about their past ventures, who will come out on top? We guess you will all have to find out by listening, won’t you?

Ep 401: How Many Chevys?

When the call goes out, we answer! A recent which.com article looked into whether a posh cup of tea is any better than a cheap builder’s brew. When it comes to Tea, Paul and Eli are self-proclaimed experts and they decide to do their own mini taste test. Paul has bought cheap Tesco Own Brand, Yorkshire and Twinings tea to see if Eli can notice any considerable difference! Not only that, what does Eli think is the best? If you really want the answers to these enquiries, then give this podcast a listen! Before all that “science” happens, the cheap chaps have a gift box from New Zealand that contains some hot sauces AND a collection of candy that will delight and appal in equal measure! And finally, in a shocking turn of events, Eli has remembered Paul’s birthday! However, it will soon become apparent that he really shouldn’t have bothered!

Ep 402: Tea 2: Judgement Tea

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!
