This is it! This is Episode 450!

To celebrate, Paul & Eli are putting the final touches on their CheapShow Album. However, this will lead to an adventure like no other before in the podcast’s past. TrackBot has been abused one to many times and not only does this mean the album project is in jeopardy, but the existence of CheapShow itself! There is only one way to save the day, and it involves the cheap chaps beaming INTO Trackbot and hunting through a digital landscape for a solution. It’s an odyssey that allows Paul & Eli to revisit their past and, possibly, rewrite it. They’ve got 1 hour to rescue CheapShow from the brink of annihilation… But what does it mean for the future? Probably not much!

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!

There is a slight change to the content of CheapShow this week as Paul & Eli decide to wade into the unfamiliar waters of technology. It’s an episode that begins by enjoying the joys of the past and ends with a lament as to it’s embarrassing secrets. Gannon is trying to make “Tech Talk” a new feature on the podcast and begins his crusade by pitching two retro gaming consoles to Eli. One is a reasonably expensive well-known brand, and the other is a surprisingly cheap knock off, but which will come out as the champ? And keeping on the tech talk theme, Paul decides to extol the virtues of a long dead audio format… The Minidisc! The Cheap Chaps go on a whistle stop tour of the medium, with all its pros and cons, but the episode ends with an embarrassing/adorable reveal. It seems Paul has found a minidisc with his 17 year old self on it! What is on the disc? Why don’t you listen and find out!

It’s a nice and simple, back to basics episode this week. We can all relax knowing that at no point will Paul & Eli be singing or inventing new characters or retreating into waves of personal verbal abuse. No siree Bob! They are searching for proper culture for this episode. Paul’s found a book to discuss and dissect for his “Page Turners” segment. He’s found a book called “Read Me Out Loud” which contains a poem for every day of the year, and he decides to pick out a few choice dates to see if there is anything inspiring for Eli to ultimately crap on. To wrap up the show, there is a new “Gannon’s Golden Game” to enjoy called “Bargain Hunter”. It’s from MB Games and challenges the Cheap Chaps to put their money where their mouths are. Can they complete their shopping list without overspending? Does this segment ever go well? Exactly… So enjoy!

The events of last week’s thrilling episode have taken their toll on Paul & Eli this week. They’re so tired out, they forgot to plan something to do and to make things worse, they are not in “the zone”! Thankfully (or not), Eli has something up his sleeve to “enhance” their “performance” and it may end up giving them both a false sense of confidence. If the stuff works at all! It’s a snack packed episode anyway, with the Cheap Chaps munching through hot habanero potato rings, Japanese Kit Kats, Cheesy Takis and a fair few hot sauces too! And finally, after MANY MANY threats to the Coca Cola company, Eli has got his mitts on some Orange Cream flavoured cans! Oh, lucky day! It’s time to get our munch on.

It was supposed to be a regular, fun “walkabout” episode whilst the summer sun still shined on London, but one phone call and shocking explosion later, Paul and Eli are running for the lives at the whims of a mad man! Two Hundred and Twenty Three episodes ago, two evil baddies were defeated and now an angry relative wants to play games with the Cheap Chaps. They’ve got 90 minutes to solve riddles, race around Crystal Palace Park, diffuse “bombs” and get increasingly more drunk and angry in the process! Along the way, Eli and Paul will tackle dinosaurs, hunt for a gorilla, drink nasty cheap cocktails and get pathetically lost in a maze! Will the day be saved, or will the CheapShow hosts get too tired and drunk to remember the plot?

Blimey, something amazing has come in the post! After weeks of waiting, Eli and Paul get their hands on a test pressing of the CheapShow album, which would be exciting if it wasn’t for the awkward threat of Mr Postie! It’s not the only thing that has come in the post either! There is a USA flavoured “Price of Shite”, or rather “Cost of Crud”, this week! The question it raises is “Can Eli continue his hot streak?” and how much will that upset Paul? It’s a P.O.S packed with trivia, tat and trinkets for Eli to gush over! Finally, we return to the often forgotten “Tales from the Shop Floor” segment with an email guaranteed to upset everyone… Which includes its author, Paul and Eli and (worst of all) CheapShow listeners. It’s another rollercoaster of an episode!

It was a mistake to record on one of the very hottest days of the year. However, the show must go on, even if involves sitting in a small room as the heat melts Paul & Eli’s brains. Paul does have a plan though! He reckons after a slew of epic length episodes; they can afford to throw out another “real time” 60 minute romp that should make everyone happy. As an extra bonus, because it’s so ruddy sweltering, why not spend the episode drinking nice, cold and hopefully refreshing drinks that have recently come their way? It’s a win/win. Let’s just hope these drinks are worthy of quaffing during a heatwave and aren’t a bunch of cheap, nasty bottles of garbage. And what’s this? A new character? Oh dear god, how bad does this episode of CheapShow get? It’s time for a proper quenching!

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!
