CheapShow - Ep 324: Red Nob Day 2023

Episode Date: March 17, 2023

It’s been months in the planning, but it’s finally here! RED NOB DAY 2023 has arrived and it’s Paul and Eli’s one chance to claw back some respect for the podcast and it’s colourful cast of ...characters. Richard Brandoff is hoping this redeems his standing in the community and with the “knock off characters” lurking in the shadows, this special episode could make or break the whole podcast! Everyone has gone all out to make this a spectacular fundraiser and you’ll be encouraged to donate to these “definitely legit” causes during the show. Expect songs, exclusive sketches, variety acts, and special guest appearances from folk like Sooz Kempner, Stuart Ashen, Ash Frith, Mr Biffo, Ethan Lawrence and Tom Mayhew, as well as a lot of the CheapShow characters you love so much! Nothing could possibly go wrong….

If I had tuppence, I would go and I would buy a piece of bread. Well, we could get you more than that.
Starting point is 00:18:08 By just giving eight tuppence or half a bob to Red Knob Day, you could get him a piece of bread or maybe even a hat. Oh, that would be amazing. I do love it so. On a cold and blustery night on the dark streets of old Victorian London when a celebrity comes along and helps us by giving us a tuppence of some such. Well we hope we can make a difference to your life tonight on Red Knob Day. Now can I just get a shot of you, can I just get a photograph with you?

Starting point is 00:19:58 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome... Oh, I can't wait for this, by the way. I've been looking forward to this. Yes, it... And he's been... Preparing backstage. Preparing a lot. He's...
Starting point is 00:20:07 A lot of powder. A lot of powder. But he is an actor. He is. He needs his powder on his face, I suppose. Without any further ado, please welcome onto the stage, just for a quick little chat
Starting point is 00:20:15 before we see what he's got for us. Please welcome... Grumpy Sessions, everyone! Hello, boys. You've got something on your nose there. Sorry. That's a bit of... Sorry. It's all right. Hello. Hello, Gr. You've got something on your nose there. Sorry. That's a bit of... Sorry.
Starting point is 00:20:26 It's all right. Hello. Hello, Grumpy. Now, everyone knows you from Cheap Show, obviously, but since that time, since that time, you've had a bit of success in that they've rebooted the old 60s show for a modern era. They've brought you into it,
Starting point is 00:20:42 and it's Professor Whippy and the Magic Axe Cream Van. What's that like? Oh, it's amazing's Professor Whippy and the Magic Ice Cream Van. What's that like? Oh, it's amazing. I'm working with the same team, Paul, and it's just been like... They're still alive? Yes, just about. Yes, you know it's like that feeling of putting on a fresh nice, just out
Starting point is 00:21:00 of the wash, old pair of underwear. A nice powdery pair of pants. All powder powdery pair of pants. All powdery. Get the talc in there. Powder it up. And it's all very comfortable. So I've been having an absolute hoot.
Starting point is 00:21:14 Yes, it's a great show. And it really, because of the type of show it is, it gives an... It's not just all us old, you know, old business... Old faces. No, there's a lot of new talent. There's a lot of new young talent coming up and really finding their feet with this show.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Now, if people don't know, the original show back in the 60s had a mysterious, crazy professor called Professor Whippy. That's me, Professor Whippy. He travelled around the UK solving folk horror-based adventures in an ice cream van. It was a time-travelling ice cream van. He had one or two moments where it time-travelled.
Starting point is 00:21:49 You have to... Well, I mean, the conceit is you have to get enough whippy ice cream into the special unit on the back. Right, OK. It travels in time, but it can go very fast. Well, you updated the show accordingly because now you sell your hot dogs there and your coffee in the back of that van as well. Oh, okay. He travels in time, but he can go very fast normally. But you've updated the show accordingly, because now you sell your hot dogs there
Starting point is 00:22:06 and your coffee in the back of that van as well. Oh, yes. I wasn't too in favour of that. No, but that's the way the modern world works, isn't it? It's the modern world. And you get your cream quotients out of it as well, so you're getting all that. I totally get my calibrated cream quotients
Starting point is 00:22:19 right up into the thing. So anyway, it's becoming a big hit at the moment on TV. I know, surprising, isn't it? It's great. It must be great to have some success, finally. It's just, I can't say how happy I am.
Starting point is 00:22:32 The reviews have not been great, but, you know, it's got a nice fan base. You know what I say? They say the reviews aren't so great, and you know what I say? Go on.
Starting point is 00:22:39 This show, this show, Paul, is critic-proof. Oh, it's review-proof. It's critic-proof. No, fair enough. All right, well, what have you got for us tonight? Oh, Paul, is critic-proof. Oh, it's review-proof. Fair enough. All right, well, what have you got for us tonight? Oh, Paul, tonight we did this the other day
Starting point is 00:22:50 after we'd finished a week's shooting. They kept the cameras rolling. We've done a very special Red Knob Day Professor Whippy special thing. Wow, that's really impressive. Holy shit. Thank you, yes. Wow.
Starting point is 00:23:04 And it was a pleasure, and I love the good causes, and I think the Cheap Show characters are coming back. That's what we like to hear. That's what we like to hear. Watch out for an extremely special guest at the end of it. Well, it's really exciting stuff. Big celebrity cameo. I can't wait, so I'm going to let you introduce the clip yourself.
Starting point is 00:23:26 This is Professor Whippy brings a friend to the field. Here we go. Roll VT. Oh, it's a lovely day. I'm Professor Whippy. Here I am in my magical ice cream van, and I wonder what adventure I'll find myself having today out in the open roads of Dorset. Oh, what's that? Who's that over there? There seems to be a little boy sitting on the side of the road, and he's crying. Well, I wouldn't be a bona fide professor of ice cream if I didn't stop and see what the matter was. Oh, hello. Hello, Sonny Jim. Sonny Jim, what is wrong?
Starting point is 00:24:47 Oh, mister, I've lost my mummy and my daddy. And I've lost them in the woods. And I'm all alone. Oh, what's your name? Little Sammy boy. I'll call you Sam. Now, Sam, don't worry. I've got...
Starting point is 00:25:04 Would you firstly... Would you like an ice cream? I'd like an ice cream. What kind do you like? Zools. I've run out of zooms. Anything else? What's the orange one?
Starting point is 00:25:16 Clippo. I have Clippo. Oh, I'd like a Clippo, please. Now, I'll fetch you a Clippo from my magic ice cream van and then we'll see what we can do about finding your parents, okay? Here you go. Oh, good. Are you feeling better now?
Starting point is 00:25:34 Yeah, I am, but I don't know where my mummy and my daddy are. Well, Sam, I know a very special person. Who lives in the wood. Oh. And is connected via fungal networks to all of the knowledge of the wood. Oh, all the knowledge? All of the knowledge of the whole terrain. Oh, what do you know where my mummy and my daddy are?
Starting point is 00:25:58 You're one step ahead of me, Sam, little Sammy boy, Sam Sam. Oh. You're a clever little boy. I like to think so. Another Calippo? No. A different kind of ice cream? No, I just want to find my mummy and my daddy.
Starting point is 00:26:13 All right, don't cry. Stop, don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry. Stop crying. Please, stop crying. Don't cry. Stop crying.
Starting point is 00:26:22 Please, stop. Don't. I'll take you. Would you like it if you could jump in the back of the magic ice cream van? Oh, I'd like that. And then I can go super fast. Do you know why? Why? We run on ice cream power. Oh, it sounds like a magical adventure and I'll find my mummy and my daddy.
Starting point is 00:26:42 I have these magic sprinkles that I use as fuel and they're very advanced scientifically. So jump in and we'll go and see my friend. Oh, I can't wait. Let's go. Come on, Sammy. It's up this pathway. But we've been walking for hours and I'm tired. Well, I'm sorry about that, but we're trying to find your parents. Couldn't you park the car closer? No, it disturbs the spirit. Oh, all right. No, but we're almost there.
Starting point is 00:27:20 Come on. It's very dark here. We're almost at the spot. Here we go, just through this copse. Who's that? Ooh, gribble, globble, slipple, blobble, bleeple, blobble, deeble. I'm Moatsy Fibbage in the flesh.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Blubble with the gribble, globble, and the slipple, flibble. I'm Mulchy Flippage in the flesh. With the gribble-grabble and the slibble-flipple. Who have you brought this week? Oh, hello. Hello, Mulchy. Oh, hello, Professor Whippy. Hello, Mulchy. Yes, this is little Sam. Oh, gribble-grabble, Sammy, whammy, blim-blim, glum-blim, nubble.
Starting point is 00:28:05 Yes, and Sam has lost his parents. I've lost my mummy and my daddy in the woods, Mr Moochie. Yes, he has, and we thought, because you know all the ins and outs and nooks and crannies. I know every blimble and every blobble of this wood. I know every cribble and every crobble. I'll find your parents. Oh, blimble, blimble, blimble, blimbble. I'll find your parents. Oh, blim, blim, blom, blim, blom, blim, blom, I'll find them.
Starting point is 00:28:28 You've just got to come a little closer so I can read your thoughts. It's right, Sam. Go and step closer to the multi-fibbage. Should I? He's a little bit frightened. No, it's fine. It's fine. Just step a little bit closer and maybe multi-fibbage has something to say about your parents.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Yeah, come closer. Are these your parents? Fibby, Fibby, Fibby, Fibby, Fibby, Fibby, Fibby. Is that my mummy and my daddy in your tummy? Oh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh, bleh. they're just having a nice sit-down. Come closer. Oh, look closer, Sammy. What are they doing in there? Sammy, it's fine. I'm a professor of ice cream.
Starting point is 00:29:12 I wouldn't fool you. Come on, you just need to see a little bit closer. Come closer. Step closer to the box. Blim-blim-blubble, closer. Please, please, Sammy. Closer. Step closer.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Closer. Step closer. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No Closer. Step closer. Closer. Oh, dear God. What have I done? What have I become? Why have I got this compulsion
Starting point is 00:29:46 to feed the bog man? You'll be back next time and I'll give you more power for your ice cream van. Yes, the power for the van. I need it. Say this though, that boy was a little bit too chewy for my multi
Starting point is 00:30:04 little blog. Oh, how about next time I stick a 99 up him? That boy was a little bit too chewy for my multi-living blood. Oh, how about next time I stick a 99 up him? Ooh! Well, that was a sketch. That was really something. Grumpy, Grumpy, come here. That was a bit dark, wasn't it, for a comedy sketch? Well, that's, you know, in the modern day and age, that's what sells. What, like feeding children to bog monsters? It's a horror children's show mash-up.
Starting point is 00:30:50 No, fair enough. Can I go back to the green room? Yeah. It's all going off. All right, we'll go back to the green room then. All right, fine. Just seem a little bit kind of out of place for a charity comedy night show. That's all I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Anyway, right, we're live. We're still going on. We're still we're live. We're still going on. We're still live, Paul. We're still going, but let's remind you once again of where your money is going. Dial one. Dial one right now. But here's a little video just to show you where your money's going. Roll VT. It's another day like any other on the high seas.
Starting point is 00:31:22 Ooh, arrr. And here is Captain Blue Balls, an experienced pirate, going about his daily chores. He has a very important position managing a whole pirate ship. Go on there, over to Davy's Locker, you bro. But Captain Blue Balls has an issue, and it's a problem that affects more pirates than you would have thought. It's a problem that affects more pirates than you would have thought.
Starting point is 00:31:46 Who are you? It's a problem that isn't out in the open. People don't talk about it. We bloody don't. It affects one in four... Thousand. One in four thousand. One in four thousand pirates and privateers of the high seas.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Hello, Captain. Hello there, Eloy. Arr, thanks for seeing me. Now, we're here from Red Knob Day. Oh, I've got a fucking... Talking about Red Knob, I've got blue balls, mate. I don't know how that works. Seems a bit insensitive to the likes of me.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Now, we're hoping to raise money, pieces of eight. Oh, arr. And what are they called? Plantoons. What are they called? I know what you mean. Those little gold coins. Buckaroos. Buck, horror. And what are they called? Plantoons. What are they called? I know what you mean. Those little gold coins. Buckaroos. Buckaroos.
Starting point is 00:32:29 No, that's a toy, isn't it? That's a toy. Now, perhaps you can explain how you got this problem. Debloons. That's the one. Debloons. That's the one. We got it. We're hoping to raise a lot of doubloons and pieces of eight. Now, Captain, perhaps you could explain when you first started to have your problem.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Well, I was just a young whippersnapper, just a young private ear on the seas, and I wanted my own ship. I wanted to be a pirate of my own, so in desperation, I made a pact with the god Poseidon of the sea, Poseidon himself, Poseidon, and I was Poseidon myself
Starting point is 00:33:03 when he agreed to give me my own first command of a pirate ship, the Mischievous Herring. Oh! He gave you command of the Mischievous Herring? Oh, I did, indeed. And that was a very good ship. However, however I angered him. What did you have to pay in return?
Starting point is 00:33:18 I had to give him my ability to spank, so now I am cursed. I am cursed, so I am to get hard, to fly the mast. But unfortunately, I can never throw myself from the crow's nest no more. So you, just to be clear, you cannot achieve male ejaculation. No, no matter how stiff and hard
Starting point is 00:33:37 I get, no matter how much my balls swell with yearning, I can't. I can't emit seed. Oh, I can't. I can't emit seed. Oh, I can't. You look at these. Look at those big blue plums. Oh, look at them all.
Starting point is 00:33:53 And when does this problem affect you? Does it affect you all the time? All the time. I'm a constantly aroused pirate. And since that day with Poseidon... We can't do it. I can't squirt out my old day with Poseidon... We can't do it. I gotta squirt out my old mother of pearl. Please.
Starting point is 00:34:09 I can't do it. Please. I just need help. Please help Captain Blue Balls and other... Just a piece of eight. Pirates who aren't able to ejaculate. Maybe just a little bit of money could maybe buy some porn that would shock me into ejaculate.
Starting point is 00:34:22 You know, like a dog thing or something. Please dial 1 or text 4444. Help Captain Blue Balls on Red Nob Day. Yeah. There you go. Just another one of the great causes that you could help out tonight by dialing 1 or texting 4444 and putting cheap show and your donation, sending it our way,
Starting point is 00:34:45 and you could be helping out one of these fantastic charities tonight. Really moving. Really, really. You don't normally think, Paul, about what pirates go through when they can't come. But now hopefully we've opened people's eyes a little bit more. We've opened people's eyes to not being able to spank pirates. It's a real thing.
Starting point is 00:35:05 But anyway, look, the entertainment continues on Red Knob Day 2023, and it's now time for something very, very special. Now, we've got a very special guest, and they've created a song for us tonight, which is going to go on sale tomorrow to help continue to raise funds for this event. But let's, ladies and gentlemen,
Starting point is 00:35:22 give the biggest round of applause so far tonight to everyone's favorite Sasquatch of rap, Wyatt Teen Yeti. Hello, thank you. Yeah, thank you very much. Teen Yeti. Hello, Eli. Hello, Paul.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Hello to you. Thank you so much. It's great to see you guys and it's wonderful to be able to, you know, write music. I'm blessed. I'm privileged to be able to produce music and when it's wonderful to be able to you know write music I'm blessed I'm privileged to be able to produce
Starting point is 00:35:47 music and when it's for a special cause you know the characters Cheap Show have been so good to me
Starting point is 00:35:53 I thought I'll come out here and come around to the studio and I'll do something really special this is something close
Starting point is 00:36:02 to my yesy heart one of them because you have two. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I've got a little one also. How many hearts do you have? I have three hearts.
Starting point is 00:36:11 Three hearts? Yeah. You've got the two main ones. Yeah. One under each breastplate. Tit, tit. So then there's one where? Yeah, where the chocolate's made.
Starting point is 00:36:19 It's made, isn't it? We're just skipping the lemonade segment then, are we? No, you've got another heart tucked down there. Right, okay. Near the prostate on you.
Starting point is 00:36:25 That's definitely where the chocolate's made. It's near where the chocolate... So how have things been? Where the wagon nuts are made. How have things been for you anyway in the time... It's been a while.
Starting point is 00:36:34 Well, you know, I've been doing the music always in my studio, but I've also been side learning because there's a recreational market for... Has everyone got a cold tonight? Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Sorry. I've got a bit of a runny nose. I've got no fine gold cans. What's it been getting up to? Sorry. I've been... Well, there's a recreational legal market for psychoactive wagon nuts in the US now. And so I've been...
Starting point is 00:37:01 They're doing trials of these. Oh, no. They do them. They smoke them. They do everything with them. So I've been sending those over. And I've been doing tours of these. Oh no, they do them, they smoke them, they do everything with them. So I've been sending those over
Starting point is 00:37:07 and I've been doing tours of the male cock pants. People love it, you know, because there's a lot of natural
Starting point is 00:37:11 caves and they can see the studio. Big scribble turnout. Oh, the scribbles, they're running
Starting point is 00:37:18 everywhere, scribbles, people love them. They pick them up and I say, oh, don't pick them up because
Starting point is 00:37:23 the problem with a scribble, they are gorgeous creatures but they see a little hole and they try and ram themselves. They swim up urine, don't they? They smell. They're very good noses and they can smell
Starting point is 00:37:37 anything and they try and ram themselves in there. Right in there. I've been there. I've crossed that path. So I have to have signed up and you can watch the scribbles. If you do come to Mount Glop Plants,
Starting point is 00:37:51 you can watch the scribbles, but only from a safe distance. Fine. Well, look, what have you got for us tonight? What was your inspiration for this official Red Knob Day 2023 song?
Starting point is 00:38:01 Paul, you know, as I said, it made me look inward to myself and think oh i have been lucky as a cryptid i have been accepted i have my own territory it's very important it's very to have an area which you frequent and people see you you know and tonight i will write a song about all those cryptids out there beautiful uh who haven haven't got an area of land to inhabit, and they need it.

Starting point is 00:39:01 Oh, yeah. In shops, so buy it. Oh, ho, ho. Tonight, playing live, raising cash for Red Knob Day, it's Teen Yeti with what is it? This song is called Cryptid's Paradise. Ladies and gentlemen, take it away. Oh yeah, thanks to Red Knob Day letting me have my say.
Starting point is 00:39:22 It's Teen Yeti. Against me don't bet. All the mythical creatures, yeah. Got something to say. Cryptozoology has always been a word that's important to me. And although I mainly say I'm a yeti, I stand up for the whole community. Now, whether you're a goblin or a yeti smoking snow, at the end of the day, you need a place to go. Where does it pogo go?
Starting point is 00:40:02 Yo, well, if you're asking me, you know I just don't know. It even gets hairy for the two fairy when they build a fucking car park on a little prairie. I'm dreaming of a place where everything is nice. I guess you'd call it cryptids paradise. Scream it for the cryptids. Yeah, big daddy Bigfoot, everybody. Kypho, the mythics out there. Yeah. Waylon. Wow.
Starting point is 00:40:41 Fucking hell, that was, I mean, pardon my French, but that was absolutely excellent. Amazing stuff. Hard-hitting stuff from Mr. Teen Yeti there. And I hope it's rang a chord with you at home, and it compels you to buy that track tomorrow. Struck a chord is what Paul was trying to say there. That is what I was trying to say. Thank you, Eli.
Starting point is 00:40:59 Rang a chord. Anyway, I can't believe they got Daddy Bigfoot for that as well. Amazing. I can't believe it got Big Daddy Bigfoot for that as well. Amazing. All the stars come out. Yeah, Tine, he really has this affinity and ability to pick up the new talent that's coming through. And there he's reached out, and it's great to see the different generations of cryptid rappers.
Starting point is 00:41:18 So there you go. Wonderful stuff. Again, buy that track tomorrow from your record stores. All the money goes to red knob day and as we like to say if you've bought your red knob for the occasion we like to say this is what we like to say we do like to say it if you fancy a giggle give your knob a little wiggle give your knob a little wiggle wiggle wiggle red knob wiggle it about for charity if you've got a plan give that knob head a little twang yeah that's we should have gone through that in rehearsal. Don't drop that on me live.
Starting point is 00:41:46 If you like to josh it, give Red Knob a big old shabby up the mountain. Yeah, no, we're going to just pull out of that one. Pull out, come on her back. Anyway, we've been going for a while now, so it's time to check in on the donations, see how much we've raised so far. Now, just a little while ago, it was £500. That's a great amount. Let's see how much it is right now. Let's have a little look now. And a little while ago, it was £500. That's a great amount. Let's see how much it is right now.

Starting point is 00:42:36 But no one even knows about our podcast We might have some big whales or something who are donating tons of money I don't know Anyway
Starting point is 00:42:41 £52,000 £52,000 Excellent work. Whoa. Whoa. Amazing. Now, I think it's about time
Starting point is 00:42:50 we now go back to the phone booth nest and see who's manning the phones and what they're getting up to. Hi, I'm Suze Kempner and I'm supporting Red Knob Day 2023. Red Knob Day, when it first arrived on the scene,
Starting point is 00:43:12 obviously was seen as something funny by some people, but through the work of people like Anna and Eli, Red Knob Day is now something that's taken very seriously and rightly so. The work they do is so, so important. It's the reason I got into charity in the first place. And I just, I just feel very strongly that the work must continue. Thank you, Gannon and Eli. Thank you for the work you do on Reb Nob Day. Hi, I'm Tom Mayhew and I'm supporting Red Knob Day 2023.
Starting point is 00:43:59 This is mainly because Red Knob's Day doesn't really support modern day comedians. They care much more about just booking the same comedians who've done it for the past 30 years. So I thought, yeah, this is the future. Red knobs are the future. Because without red knobs, we might all end up green behind the ears. What could be worse? Oh, mind the cables, mind the cables. Oh, it's wacky and it's live here. Come on, come on.
Starting point is 00:44:28 Sorry, it's coming through, coming through. And who have we got here on the phone? Now, you recognise them. Wow, they've been telling stories for generations and he's here tonight taking your calls. It's Storytime Grandpa. Yes, madam. No, it was genitals, definitely.
Starting point is 00:44:44 It wasn't just chewy spam. No, so it was... Storytime. Oh, excuse me, madam. No, it was genitals, definitely. It wasn't just chewy spam. No, so it was... Story time. Oh, excuse me, madam. Thank you very much for your donation, madam. Thank you. Goodbye. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:44:54 Oh, hello. How are things with you? I am so good, so I am, so I am, Paul and Eli. So it is, I am. Now, here's the interesting thing. I'm on the pipe. I'm having a whale of a time. You've been minding the phones, taking donations.
Starting point is 00:45:07 I've got little snack trays. Now, you also, before the show started, you had your own little fundraiser, didn't you? You decided to eat as many testicles as you could in an hour for charity. Now, how many did you eat? I managed, so I did manage, so I did manage 75 testicles.
Starting point is 00:45:28 75 testicles? Is that 75 purrs or 75 single testicles? Single testicles, but I also ate a scrotal snack. So, a boosie bonus for you. And how much have you raised? I've raised 200 pounds in just the last 10 minutes.
Starting point is 00:45:44 200 pounds, well done. People are calling me. What kind of wacky calls have you had? I've had people, you know, so I have, Paul. I've had people calling and, you know, they want to donate. But they're also very interested in the stories I have. Are they really, though? They say, story time granted, they say to me.
Starting point is 00:46:05 They say, so they do. They say, what are the stories you have, story time, Grandad? But they're all the same. From the war. Yeah, but they're all the same. From the wars you've been in, story time, Grandad. We're going to move on from this. And I say, well, there's one story.
Starting point is 00:46:19 Well, we don't have time for another story. I was in a bunker. We literally don't have time for you to eat more testicles. And we were starving to death. We don't want time for another story. When I was in a bunker, so I was. I was in a bunker. For you to eat more testicles. And we were starving to death. We don't want to hear this. So we had to eat bollocks, so we did. Why don't you man the phones again? I've got a call coming through now, so I do.

I just love being here, baby. It's so sweet and fine and I'm just taking course number nine on the line. And what kind of money have you seen coming in for Red Knob Day? Well, I've seen quite a lot of groovy coins coming in. People giving anything from the penny to the pound to the two pound to the three pound to the four pound.
Starting point is 00:47:15 Brilliant, brilliant. The most I've ever had, five pounds. Okay, brilliant, Mr Manson. They're cool babies. They're such a cool baby.

Starting point is 00:47:53 He's back on the phone. Are you back on the phone now? Now, who else is on the phone taking donations? How much money do you want, bitch? Paul, are you with someone else over there? I am. I'm over here with one of our most cherished characters on Cheap Show.
Starting point is 00:48:12 He brings us the soda every week and then we rate them. So, why? Oh, my boys, my boys. Here he is. Here he is. Why indeed? Oh, little old juicy Jeremy sitting here taking a call on the old telephonator. Who's looking after your rupee, then?
Starting point is 00:48:30 The old rinky-dinky telephonator. Oh, the jalopy's out there in the parking lot, and I can see through the window. I can see my jalopy's all right. Yeah, now I can see it out the window. It's shining in the moonlight like old Percy May. You know who that was? What? Old Percy May was a little lady who used to have a little liaison with my papi.
Starting point is 00:48:51 My papi, Big Jay. They used to call him Big Jay. I've been here. Oh, Big Jay. I'm just getting a message in my ear telling me to tell you to shut up and just tell, what? How much money have you raised, says Jimmy in the room. I've raised £7,000.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Jimmy, I can't help it, Jimmy. They just go off on one when you talk to them. Oh, I've got a call coming through. They just want the limelight, Jimmy. I can't. I'm getting him to stop. Sorry. Sorry. Jimmy wants me to tell you to stop. Oh, poor my boy, my boy. We're running behind. Oh, my jalopy and etc.
Starting point is 00:49:25 Oh, I'veopy and et cetera. Oh, I've got a call coming right now. Do you mind if I take it? Hello? Oh, Red Knob Day. Juicy Jeremy. Esquire speaking on the old telephonator. How can I help you, madam? Right, well, we're going to leave the foot people planning the calls now.
Starting point is 00:49:42 We're going to head off and get the next part of the show. Oh, that's super characteristic. Wonderful. You've given us such an old-timey donation. Oh, wonderful. Jimmy's saying, can you shut up a little bit? Can you keep it quiet? Okay. You're still on mic.
Starting point is 00:49:55 Right, well, we've got no more time for that. We're going to have to move on and head to our next signature performance on Red Knob Day. Join us. Hi, I'm Ethan Lawrence and I'm supporting Red Knob Day 2023. Now there are plenty of reasons why this charity deserves your support. All of the incredible work they do in the communities and indeed some people just enjoy the spectacle at the main event. But, you know me. I'm a Cheap Show fan.
Starting point is 00:50:26 You're a Cheap Show fan. So much like your Envision, I enjoy it when the boys create a thinly-veiled knock-off of something that actually exists and then pretend it was an original idea. Happy Red Knob Day! Hello, everyone. It's Stuart Ashen here,
Starting point is 00:50:44 also known as Ashen's or Monkey Boy Stebbins. I just wanted to add my support to Red Knob Day 2023. Paul and Eli have put in a lot of work for what is really an exceptional cause. I've got no idea what they're using the money for, or where it's going, or... Actually, that's a bit of a worry. I don't know what the hell they're doing. Is it too late to pull out of this? Hello, I'm Morgan Freeman. Please join me in supporting Red Knob Day 2023.
Starting point is 00:51:15 In all my long and storied career, I have never before encountered a cause of such immense importance. I myself sold my entire collection of acorns and donated the proceeds. Admittedly, I only had three acorns and they were quite literally worthless, but it's the thought that counts. Probably. Anyway, I have to go now because I'm in a film or something.
Starting point is 00:51:37 Thanks, Paul. And now we have an exclusive musical performance here on Red Knob Day. They're beloved characters and they've just recently got engaged. So, of course, everybody, it's Madam Lady Plops and Squishy Jim with their rendition of Please Go Squishing My Turds. Squishing. Squishing. Squishing My Turds.

They're going to go bing, going to go bang, going to go bong. They're going to hit our system, register on our charity board.
Starting point is 00:54:23 And then you've converted it into Rothcoin. Yeah, we're going to convert it into Rothcoin. Into tethered Rothcoin. And then we're going to throw it over to some kind of Cayman Island thing. I don't know whatever it is. And it comes out as money. It comes out as real money.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Yeah, real money. Okay, and then you put it in the suitcase. Yeah, and we'll put it in the suitcase and we'll get the fuck out of here. And how's it going in the green room? Are they suspecting any of this? How can they suspect stuff? They're on the wacky town. They don't know fucking shit right

Take twice as long. Listen, listen, when do you want to get out of here? Right when they do the fucking awful, roughest, stupid song right at the end.

Starting point is 00:55:58 Has it got a roundabout? I don't know. No more roundabouts. We're going from this point on, buddy boy. Could I just pretend there was a roundabout? Yes, if you want, we can go to somewhere that's full of fucking roundabouts where we're going from this point on, buddy boy. Could I just pretend it was a roundabout?
