245 - SAUCY BOYS

August 27, 2021

Special Guests: Nick Helm & Nathaniel Metcalfe

Every now and then there comes an episode of the podcast that we just don't know how to describe to you. Oh sure, Paul and Eli have a sauce report planned and a nice and nerdy Price of Shite, but that structure goes out the window very quickly. Joining the Cheap Chaps this week are comedians Nick Helm (Uncle, BBC 3) and Nathaniel Metcalfe (BBC R4, Fubar Radio) to hunt for more charity shops treasures! Prepare yourself for an episode packed with gross sauce, Top Trumps, cult movies, Tomy toys, geeky trivia and more. There is also plenty of room for Nick's exhaustive pun work, Nathaniel’s knowledge, Eli's passionate outbursts and Paul's dying soul. Brace yourself, this goes off the rails before the credits kick in!

244 - CREAMED

August 20, 2021

For a show known for its in-depth investigative reporting, even Paul and Eli decide to dig deeper this week to get to the bottom of one of life's biggest mysteries... Why are Cream Crackers called "Cream Crackers"? The answer may surprise you. Unless you know already. Obviously. It's another back to basics episode this week when the Eli reveals his latest Tales from the Shop Floor, but he isn't the only DJ with a few stories to share! Has Eli been usurped? There is also a bumper batch of sauces to investigate too! It's time for a Sauce Report that delights and confounds. Elsewhere in the episode, Paul has people popping out of his penis, takes a trip to the CheapShow psychologist and Eli is back on full mouth noise duties. Enjoy!

243 - THAT 70S EPISODE

August 13, 2021

It's been a while, but Paul & Eli have managed to trick... Sorry, convince a guest to join them for another edition of the economy comedy podcast! This week, comedian and actor Imran Yusuf visits CheapShow to wade into the sticky swamps of nostalgia. A strange charity shop discovery unearths an item that overindulges in the good old days of the 1970s. It's a bag of reproduced 70s ephemera that allows the cheap chaps and co the chance to ask was it really all that good in the past? The answer is no. Elsewhere, Paul has tailored a Price of Shite to suit Imran's love of video games, but can he guess the correct costs of these weird and wonderful pieces of tat? Eli is on hand to help and offers a top prize!

242 - OPERATION SODA POP

August 6, 2021

You're the Doctor declared the advert for classic board game Operation, but this week on CheapShow Paul and Eli are the Doctors instead, and it's not going to end well for poor old Cavity Sam! In a heart pounding Gannon's Golden Games segment, the Cheap Chap battle to become the very best at removing small plastic pieces from a toy with a tweezer! It's thrilling stuff. We promise! Meanwhile, around the back of the Willy Wanka's Candy Shop, Juicy Jeremy is waiting for you at the secret Soda Jerk Store. He's got some cheap and tasty new drinks to share and some of them are even quite nice! Willy, however, seems to have revealed a new, disgusting side to his character! With all this going on, it's no surprise that Paul is finally losing his mind. Will Eli behave himself for just one episode? For Paul's sanity, we hope so!
