    «They are so weird»

    «They are so gross!» «They are such pervs!» «They are vile» «The quality is realy questionable at times» «Who listens to this!?» Are all things I’ve said to myself while listening to this. I’m over a 100 episodes in, so I guess I already have the answer 😂👍

  • Listening the whole 10 years

    Prefer when it they get drunk. Strangely they have crossed over all my favourite YouTubers podcasters. Barshens felt surreal when my favourite YouTubers bumped into these two gringos. I was genuinely listening from episode 8. I can’t actually believe it’s been 10 years and these two complete melts have made it this far. One day they will kiss if they haven’t already. Thanks for the laughs guys, I even named my first born Eli as I like the name

  • I started listening to Cheapshow around episode 25 and it has been a weekly source of laughter ever since. It's definitely not for those that are easily offended, but if you have a crude sense of humor you're gonna love this.
