There are strange things afoot in the HoP this week! Paul & Eli focus carefully on the economy comedy content... By talking about how to get rid of a dead body, the practicalities of cannibalism and the fact that Paul may be seriously considering starting up a cult (just as long as he doesn't give away the final destination for all of his followers)! What exactly is Frothtopia? Eventually, the cheap chaps get back on track and deliver a retro video games based edition of The Price of Shite and a thoroughly interesting biscuit based edition of Off Brand/Brand Off. It's choc-tastic!
168 - UNRESOLVABLE SENTENCES
This week, we are sad to announce that Paul Gannon is broken. Whether it's the hard grind of his usual day to day existence or whether it's just because he is an old fart, who knows? All Eli knows, is that he finds this highly amusing. Paul obviously doesn't. It's a show packed with cheap eats and a Price of Shite that we can assure you is all above board and chock full of p-twings!
We'd also like to apologise for Eli's new terrible character. You'll find out why soon enough!
166 - BETRAYAL IN THE HOUSE OF PICKLES
It was turning out to be a lovely episode, it really was. It begins with the most epic Sauce Report ever reported. Not only do Eli and Paul enthusiastically discuss McDonald's Big Mac Sauce, but plan to make their own. Eli also brings an amazing sauce discovery to the show, and it's a discovery that could blow the whole segment apart! A little later on, Eli is gifted two delightful treats that brings smiles to everyone's faces...
And then they played The Price of S**** and it all went wrong. Badly wrong.
This is why they can't have nice things.
163 - NO CHARACTERS GUARANTEED
After last week's thrilling murder mystery epic, it's back to basics for Paul and Eli on this week's economy comedy podcast! There is a strict "NO CHARACTERS" policy this week as a result, but who knows what happens when push comes to shove. Luckily there is plenty to discover this week when we get a mini Winkie update, reply to some reader emails, dip into the PO Box, tackle a Price of Shite that becomes a "peh-twing" fest and ends with a reveal so demented, so stupid and childish, that one of the cheap chaps will have their reputation in tatters! But who?
162 - MURDER ON THE CHEAP EATS EXPRESS
All aboard for a train trip you'll never forget! Although the "Cheap Eats Express" looks luxurious enough, it hides a deadly secret. This week, Paul & Eli board the train, thinking they are in for a nice, relaxing journey... But instead, they will come face to face with a gruesome murder! Who will be that tragic victim? Who is the killer? It's going to be one hell of a journey for the Cheap Chaps, as they meet a cast of CheapShow "favourites", dodge bullets, battle to the death atop the train itself and maybe, just maybe, find out "whodunnit". Somehow... they also manage to cram in a Price of Shite and a Cheap Eats Segment too.
161 - SEX EGGS & SAUSAGE SQUASH
The truth can now be revealed, one that Eli has been hiding for far too long. What is it? Well, let's just say you won't be able to look at Breakfast the same way ever again. CheapShow returns for its first proper new episode of 2020 and it's packed with all the usual mad, engrossing, unusual and occasionally informative larks. Paul's takes us to his new pizzeria this week to test some cheap frozen pizza in "Off Brand Brand Off", Eli tosses off a Price of Shite and we get two very opposing tales of woe and wonder on the dance floor. It's a packed show, so get comfy, you're going in!
157 - THE SKIDS STAY IN THE PICTURE
It's a cornucopia of crap this week as stakes are heightened, tat is donated and voices are raised. In a surprising turn of events, Paul upgrades The Sauce Report to a full, proper segment. It's a decision he soon learns to regret. Eli gets carried away and things get messy. There is a special Price of Shite this week, donated to our POP Box. It would have made for a great head to head... had Paul not read the prices! Along the way, Paul and Eli meet a vengeful Uncle Grumbly, create a new surveillance system and somehow get into another noodle based argument!
112 - BEYOND PUNDERDOME
It's the Punderdome, a pun filled battle to the death. Two men enter, one man leaves... followed by the other a little while later! When the Cheap Chaps play a board game based on a New York comedy night, their comedy skills are put to the test and left sorely lacking!
Before all that madness, there is a classic Price of Shite with one particularly angering toy discovery, Paul erupts into the most prolonged and pointless piece of toilet humour in the show's history and we get a little trippy with a visit to Silverman's Platter. The show just got silly!

106 - BET YOUR SPUNK
Paul & Eli accidentally invent a new, terrible game show idea in episode 106. Hopefully, the rules are too awful to make it a recurring feature. Consider this another warning! Elsewhere in this edition of the world's most brilliant economy comedy podcast, the cheapshow boys learn about the Tooth Gremlin, delves into some Sex Shop flavoured "Tales from the Shop Floor" and try to telepathically communicate during a very special "Price of Shite".
Hold on tight, this is an odd one... and Paul "may" be hung over.
VOTE NOW at first ever (and only, who knows) CheapSkates People's Choice Awards and have YOUR say for the best (and worst) of the podcast!
096 - A NEW LOW
What happens when Paul relinquishes responsibility of CheapShow and demands Eli dictate the order of events? Well, it's possibly be a new low for the podcast... But we say that a lot. In a baggier, more loose and frankly deeply troubling episode of CheapShow, we promise one collection of features and then give you something completely different all together.
Paul and Eli talk cheap medicine, dive through some more Tales from the Shop Floor and cram in a Price of Shite with that "Bought, Found, Given" twist! Everything is wrapped up in a game of The Great Debate... eventually. Warning: Spare a thought for Poindexter and avoid the wails of Madam Rabbitplops and Squelchy Jim!

090 - THREE SIMPLE PHASES
It's been a long time coming, but we are returning to "Life Hacks" in this week's episode. However, we asked our audience to suggest them and, well, we may have made a mistake. Eli is especially critical of some of them, so apologies in advance. We do, instead, discover 3 simple phrases to live by and uncover a creepy little perk Eli is willing to offer if you see him DJing.
So what else happens, then? Elsewhere, Eli is HEAVILY censored, we taste test two exciting Instant Noodles, become befuddled by some Morons from Outer Space vinyl and remain shocked by a game changing gaff in The Price of Shite! Welcome to the economy comedy podcast of your dreams!

085 - FUN CITY
Do you wanna have a bit of fun? Shall we have a bit of fun? OK. Let's do it!
In episode 85 Paul & Eli bend over backwards to have a super duper fun time and YOU can join us. How much fun is there? Lots.
We have super fun pretending to be hard bitten detectives when a Tales from the Shop Floor inspires the cheap chaps to go overboard on the over acting. There is a even a wicked fun Price of Shite that manages to cram in TWO completely different versions of the game. That's fun, isn't it? Yes. Yes it is.
But the fun doesn't stop there. Hell no! We end the show by taking a trip to "Fun City" a retro board game that demands Eli and Paul have as much fun as humanly possible... but don't forget to help the old lady cross the road!! What does that mean? Well why don't you listen to this FUN episode of CheapShow and find out? Fun. Fun! FUN!!!

083 - MOUTH SOUNDS
How many characters can CheapShow sustain? Has Paul created one too many pointless, annoying characters? Eli seems to think so, in this, our magnificent 83rd episode!
It's all the usual larks and laughter, covering all your favourite segments... and even some you probably hate too. We have Tales from the Dancefloor, "Mi Casa, Su Casa", Cheap Eats and The Price of Shite. It's a ruddy packed show!
Eli huffs some potentially poisonous fumes, Paul decides to turn every single bloody moment into an opportunity to make more infuriating animal sounds and voices and it all leads to CheapShow's typical concoction of comedy and violence!

079 - A VERY BROWN SNACK
Yup. It's another CheapShow. You love it. Same old, same old!
Ask Silverman? Check! Price of Shite? Check! League of Snacks? Check! Paul & Eli hurling insults back and forth, with verbal violence and threats of something worse lurking in the shadows? Check!
Along the way they rant about mixtapes, hipsters, hot nuts, sexy lady pictures, recordable paper and Eli has even promised a "mindblowing" edition of Price of Shite... But has he? Paul isn't impressed. Or even knows what is going on! Typical.

076 - HIT THE MOOG
You want Moog? Oh boy, do we have Moog for you!
Silverman's Platter goes all electronically wibbly wobbly this week with some joyous and also frankly demented music.
Fairweather co-host Ash Frith joins Paul and Eli for a show that covers all he usual bases.
Want to know what Eli thinks about sloppy noodles, wasps and what he once found in his poop? Well, you can find out in an "old skool" #AskSilverman and instantly regret asking.
There is also a "classic" Price of Shite with Paul in control of the cheap tat... Will he finally get the upper hand on Eli? Find out!

068 - THE LEAGUE OF SNACKS
The episode that nearly wasn't! But we rescued it! It's been a long time coming, but finally, Paul & Eli begin to put together their long awaited "League of Snacks" has begun to curate it's collection of snacks and crisps for review. It will be the most important thing of all time ever! Where will your favourite snack end up ranked? But before all that, it's the usual CheapShow madness... We have more weird and wonderful Tales from the Shopfloor, Paul challenges Eli to a devious round of The Price of Shite, we cram in an Off Brand/Brand Off and instantly regret buying so much mayonnaise. Finally, Paul opens up the doors to his Froth Shop and treats Eli to a whole host of cheap and cheerful candies... as long as Eli promises to stop creating any more stupid, awful new characters!

064 - A CRINKLY BOTTOM WEREWOLF IN LONDON
It's finally happened... The curse of Noel Edmonds has struck and has dreadful ramification on the whole show! The latest episode of the world's best and probably ONLY trash based comedy podcast returns with all the usual bells and whistles. Elsewhere, Eli tries to bring back the classic "Price of Shite" format but Paul seems determined to ruin it by pointing out as many flaws in Eli's logic as possible. There is also a very special edition of "Silverman's Platter" where the CheapShow Chaps dive, track by horrible track, into 1980's light entertainer Russ Abbott's cringe worthy album "I Love A Party". It becomes a feat of stamina. They also uncover one of the most unsettling kid's music singles ever and a random B side about... making a cup of tea? All this and much much less in Ep 64!!

057 - SPIRIT SQUAD
Let's get spooky! It's another Halloween special at CheapShow HQ and you're all invited along for another episode filled with ghosts, games and grumpy old men.
It starts out typically rocky, as Paul & Eli have a very early blow out over Eli's silly voices, but things become a little more steady as the cheap chaps play a ghoulish edition of "The Price of Shite 2.0". Later, we play "Trick or Treat" as we mix Halloween candy with scary musical choices from Silverman's Platter. Paul also gets to show off his knowledge of the supernatural by listening to some truly spooky EVPs and plays a few audio anomalies of his own! Finally, CheapShow delivers something truly novel... A scripted horror comedy adventure! Ever wanted to know what it would be like if Eli and Paul were proper Ghostbusters? Well, you can now find out with their special audio play "Spirit Squad"
It's a bumper spooky CheapShow... Enjoy it. If You Dare!!!

053 - DON'T GET MAD STRIKES BACK
You demanded that it returned. You wanted this. After long last, it's back... We are returning to the ugly world of "Don't Get Mad" and this may be the most demented, twisted, hilarious one yet... But don't say we didn't warn you! In this long awaited episode, Paul & Eli go back to basics with a classic Tales from the Dancefloor (one that manages to break Eli), a revamped "Price of Shite" that goes down very well indeed and a super sour "Cheap Eats" too! It's stuffed with the usual CheapShow madness but with the added volatility of an "angered by toothache" Paul and a "ready to snap" Eli... It's definitely the most CheapShowy CheapShow to date and it may destroy your tiny little minds. Hold On Tight. CheapShow was recorded at "The Pod" at White City Place.

049 - BUM EGGS
Paul & Eli tackle more delightful and demented charity shop finds in an episode carefully entitled "Bum Eggs". Why? Well, why not find out? It's a bumper edition of the show to tide you over until the forthcoming "epic" 50th edition and the cheap chaps cram in lots of the usual features. Eli fields a new batch of noodle questions, much to Paul's annoyance...
Can you tell the difference between brand and off brand snacks? Eli takes on the challenge to see if Aldi's range of bubbly chocolate and potato hoop snacks stacks up to the genuine article and the results are shockingly surprising...
There are more random vinyl singles in Silverman's Platter to listen to, some of which are actually quite good for a change (but not many) and it's Gannon's turn to deliver "The Price of Shite" with one item concealing a horrid, unsettling surprise!
It's more of the usual awesome bouts of tat and chat and, for some reason, Paul is not going to take Eli's crap any more (and Eli isn't particularly bothered)!
