There is only ONE WEEK left until CheapShow turns 10 years old! A magnificent achievement considering Paul and Eli didn’t think the show was last 50 episodes. All they have to do this week is survive one very simple edition of The Price Of Shite without fighting, threats, verbal violence and underhanded behaviour. If they can do that, then maybe all will be OK. Sadly, it’s not looking good for the Cheap Chaps as the show starts very badly and ends in absolute shock and outrage. Paul is desperately trying to make a rock band name word mean something funny, Eli is trying to become a joke-smith by crafting an equally as desperate gag and The Tales From The Dancefloor rubs them both up the wrong way. The big question is whether Paul and Eli’s friendship will survive the next 70 minutes!

Five years ago, Paul & Eli went for a day trip out to Brighton, to say it didn’t go well may be a bit of an understatement. To celebrate their 10th Birthday, CheapShow is going back again to do it properly… Whatever that means! Paul is determined to truly soak up all the fun of the seaside by being as sober as a judge and Eli has a few ideas in mind for things to do that are all truly awful. What begins as an aimless adventure soon turns into a glorious day out involving swarming seagulls, classic ghost trains, painful beach walking, mini electric train trips, elephant tunnels, “long eggs” and annoying tourists. Will Eli find his seafood snacks? Will Paul stay sober throughout the day? How long can Paul and Eli stay on good terms as the day drags on? Find out in this 3 hour epic walkabout romp!

[Intro]
(Male Vocal, confident)
Ayy, Russell Nomer music!
(Female Vocal, excited)
American Thrift!
(Group Chant)
¡Vamos! Let's go! Find your treasure!

[Verse 1]
(Male Vocal, English lead)
From New York down to Florida sands
Got the best deals right in your hands
Racks on racks, the style's on lock
Ten thousand new things around the clock
Yeah, the price is low but the vibe is high
Find a vintage gem, you gotta try

[Chorus]
(Male & Female Duet, energetic and catchy)
Oh, American Thrift, come on, ¡vamos!
Find your treasure, tu tesoro, you know it's fabulous!
Daily sales that feel like a dream

[Verse 2]
(Female Vocal, Spanish lead)
En New Jersey, la gente lo sabe
Ropa de marca, esa es la clave
Muebles, joyas, un mundo entero
Cada día es un hallazgo nuevo
Por el planeta, es la misión
Ahorra dinero con convicción

[Chorus]
(Male & Female Duet, energetic and catchy)
Oh, American Thrift, come on, ¡vamos!
Find your treasure, tu tesoro, you know it's fabulous!
Daily sales that feel like a dream
American Thrift, be part of the team!
From designer bags to rock and roll tees
El mejor precio, guaranteed!

[Bridge]
(Tempo slows slightly, beat gets simpler, vocals are conversational)
(Male Vocal)
Heard Russell Nomer made this track...
(Female Vocal)
...to take this thrift store to the map!
(Male Vocal)
From a local gem to a world-class name
(Female Vocal)
Join the mission, fuel the flame! Únete al crew!
(Beat drops back in, full energy)

[Outro]
(Group Chant, layered with ad-libs)
American Thrift! The ultimate hunt!
(Female ad-lib: ¡Qué ganga! What a bargain!)
Find us on Facebook, find us on the 'Gram!
(Male ad-lib: Join the family!)
American Thrift! ¡Tu Tesoro!
(Sound of a vintage cash register "cha-ching" followed by a final horn stab)
[End]

Leading with Purpose: A Conversation with Steve Preston

After far too much time away, fair-weather co-host Ash Frith re-joins CheapShow just ahead of its 450th episode and what an episode! It’s a nice chunky one that throws Ash in at the deep end straight from the start. They’ve all got a lot to catch up on and it’s been a while since they’ve all been in the House of Sausage and Mash. It all leads to a 40 minute diversion into the sex, drugs and Rock & Roll private lives of comedians from yesteryear! It’s getting censored to F***! After that, it’s time for a classic Price of Shite and, to make things more challenging for our returning guest, Eli’s confidence and ego is off the charts. There is a mix of tat, toys and musical surprises that must be priced rightly and Paul is struggling to juggle his loyalties! One more episode until 450, it’s exciting!

Ep 449: Mumchance

Burger King

It’s time to get our platters out on CheapShow this week! Paul & Eli have unearthed a few comedy albums from the once popular Grumbleweeds musical troupe! Who are these gentlemen? Where they any good? Has their material aged well? Will we get annoyed listening to “There’s No Business Like Show Business” over and over and over? A quick listen to their output should answer a few of those questions! Elsewhere in this week’s episode, Paul’s got a Gannon’s Golden Games on the go and is very excited to play it. The game is an early 2000s electronic “eBay auction bidding game” and, as Eli and Paul are sadly about to find out, absolutely doesn’t work as an audio only podcast medium. Just how bad does it get? Listen in and find out…

This month on What’s Good, Goodwill?, Michelle and Heather sat down to chat about October events and treasures with Goodwill! From seasonal thrift finds to inspiring stories of giving back, tune in and see how every donation makes a difference.

October Treasures: Giving Back, Thrifting Forward

Paul threatens to reduce his word count down to 25 words this week, but Eli is desperately having none of it. He just wants a nice, normal episode of CheapShow. But when as CheapShow ever been nice and normal? On this week’s episode, Eli is obsessed with assonance and tongue-twisters for no good reason, a package from New Zealand offers a lot to munch over and Paul has discovered an old board game based on the career of UK comedian/actor Lenny Henry! Thanks to an online website called Sanza, a very kind listener to the podcast has sent CheapShow some tasty treats from New Zealand and there is a LOT to slurp, crunch and guzzle over. How will they go down with Paul and Eli? For a Gannon’s Golden Games segment, Paul has discovered a “stand up comedy” themed board game, but will playing it actually raise any laughs, or will the usual in-fighting ruin the love of the game? As ever, you’ll find out over the next 75 minutes!

Ep 462: Munchos By Proxy

Although Paul & Eli have sworn off getting anything from Temu, Ali Express or Wish, that doesn’t stop our listeners! Whether that’s for good or for ill. This week, CheapShow HQ has been sent something via the PO Box (details below) and its jam packed with Ali Express (and charity shop) treats and, in some cases, horrors. Not only do the Cheap Chaps have a few awesome presents to be grateful for (thank you Obie!), but there is an Ali Express themed “Price of Shite” to tackle. When the items can be truly random and the prices could be anything, just how many p’twings can Paul and Eli hope to get? Eli has his ideas, Paul has his own… but who will win, not only the game, but the “special prizes” on offer to the winner? It’s another tat filled audio adventure.

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!
