We've got the sound, we've got the donation computer all set up.
Got the computer all set up, Ralph.
I think we've got our running order in.
I directed the show down to a T.
Well, I'm depending on you, Jimmy, old friend, old pal.

Ruff, this is very...
There's a lot riding on this, Ruff Ruff.
A lot.
A lot.
Winky, winky.
I know there's a lot riding on this.
A lot more than I'm even letting on.
The name of Cheap Show is up for debate in this event tonight.
Absolutely so.
I've got ready.
How do I look?
How do I look?
Oh, you look fantastic.
You look like a dream come true.
There's a little, the beard thing.
You think that's worth it?
No, the just for men things come out quite nice.
Ruff, ruff, good, yes.
It's not showing then, though.
No, no, and you don't smell of piss.
Oh, Ruff, I'm glad, because it was like a beaver or something on the roundabout,
and it came and it... Anyway,
I was... We can't talk about the beaver right now.
Focus on the actual job at hand.
Some kind of stink beaver.
I got rid of the stink beaver. We won't get worried
about the stink beaver going further from this point.
Now let's just get our hosts over.
Come on, let's just get the hosts over. I want to go through the script with them.
Where is Eli and Paul? Paul and Eli,
are you free? Ruff, Ruff, come over here.
Yes, what?
No, hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello, Richard.
Hello, Jimmy.
There's a lot going on and no one's spoken to us yet about the plans.
We're here.
We're ready, though, Paul, aren't we?
Listen, guys, I just want to go through this with you right now.
You've got the script.
You know the running order.
You know where you've got to be and when.
This is a live show.
We're raising money for a lot of good causes tonight.
Absolutely.
All of the causes look really good
and we're happy.
We're happy to do this.
And you guys are the spine of this show.
I'm the skeleton
and you're the spine
and Randolph is the guts.
I'm the...
Well...
He's the stinky,
flatulent guts of this
and I'm the sexy skeleton.
Well, whatever.
Yeah, no.
No, we get the point.
We're gonna be all right.
We're very excited about this, alright?
So, you just want us to be
on our spot when we go live in... Oh, that's

Eli, you're a good man as well.
Thank you very much. It's good to know.
Thank you, Richard.
I'm glad you put your trust in us to front this
and be the face of Red Knob Day 2023.
Red Knob.
Red Knob Day.
I know I said red cock last week.
I'm not excited.
I didn't get the memo.
Well, it is Red Knob.
Just so everyone's on the same page.
Knob.
Knob.
So, Red Knob Day.
Charity.
Buy your things. Jimmy, Jimmy. Yes, buddy. Yes,, charity, buy your things, blah, blah, blah.
Jimmy, Jimmy!
Yes, buddy. Yes, buddy. Get out the way, Paul. Sorry about this.
I was just, I'm waiting to do my thing and it doesn't, the green room, there's nothing in it.
The green room's being sodded as we speak.
I had the ride. I had a Zoom.
No, we had the Zoom and the ice cream's coming.
Is the Zoom here?
I promise you the ice cream's coming. Is the Zoom here? I promise you the ice cream's coming.
Because, you know, I know it's for charity and everything.
I don't usually work without a full ice cream.
I've even got you a dusty dress from old mama's vintage clothing emporium.
Has it been powdered?
It's been very powdered for you today.
Has it been pre-powdered?
It's been pre-powdered.
Hey, look, just give us some time.
The running late book is going to be sold.
There's going to be drinks.
I'm sorry.
There's going to be a little something extra to give you all a bit of a pep in your step as you get out and do this live show for us tonight.
Okay, as long as they've got the 99s.
Now, just get into your position and get into your costume for later.
Come on.
Good luck.
Come on, everybody.
Guests, come on.
Can we get this sorted now, please?
Ruff, Ruff, everybody.
Get everybody into the places.
Everybody, get into position right now.
I'm going to the production studio.
I'll see you up there.
We're going live in five, four, three...
Ladies and gentlemen, live from the Grunty Studios in London,
it's the first inaugural Red Knob Day 2023!
And here are your hosts for the evening.
It's Paul Gannon and Eli Silverman!
Ruff, ruff!
Hello, hello, yes. Welcome to Red Nob Day 2023. I am Paul Gannon.
I'm Eli Silverman. Ooh, exciting!
Ooh, this is very exciting. We're here tonight live to raise money for some great causes. They're great causes, Paul. And I've been very excited seeing the red knobs popping up all near me, all around me.
I see you're wearing yours right now on your face.
I'm wearing it.
It's snug, but, you know, I think at least it'll stay on.
You're meant to wear it on your face.
No, you know, it's a knob.
What are you talking about?
Why have you got a big knob on your face?
Oh, sorry.
That's your nose.
Ha ha ha.
Just a bit of fun, ladies and gentlemen.
Yeah, he's great, everybody. Yeah, just a bit of fun. No, honestly, That's your nose. Ha ha ha. Just a bit of fun, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, he's great, everybody.
Yeah, just a bit of fun. No, honestly,
Paul, just be serious.
Be serious for a second here. Yes. Because there are a lot of very good causes.
That's true. And all of the
characters. They've all got something special lined up.
Something special lined up. It's going to be,
it's not just going to be about
raising money. It's going to be
about entertainment. And that's what it's about. The red knobs, I've seen them in the money. It's going to be about entertainment.
And that's what it's about.
The red knobs, I've seen them in the shops.
Yes.
Here, there, everywhere. Maybe you're listening at home wearing your red knob tonight.
And maybe you're wondering, what is this red knob all about?
Well, for me, it's a medical condition.
But I'm guessing we're talking about the things you were buying from the shops.
And ladies and gentlemen, here is the man behind it all.
The man who's made tonight possible and who has a few words.
Come on, come on, Richard.
Come on, ladies and gentlemen.
Come on, Richard.
Richard Brandoff, the man behind the dream.
Ruff.
Ruff.
Oh, thank you so much, Eli.
Thanks, Richard.
And thank you, Richard, for coming on the show tonight.
Ruff, Paul.
Tell me why Red Knob Day.
What did you decide to do?
Why have you decided to do this? Well,
Paul, for a number of years, the original
cheap show characters
have been just losing their
identity, is what I thought. Maligned
and misunderstood. And I haven't been
the most perfect rough, rough person
or businessman. No, you're a
conman and a murderer. Husband or
employer. Probably sex acts involved too.
Or anything in the past.
Yes.
We all know this.
It was a whole thing with the smelling.
I mean, you still like that.
I do.
I know, that was your rider.
You're in.
You're in either.
I sorted that out.
How did you know about that, Ruff Ruff?
We're alive.
We might want to skip past this.
I, Ruff, I thought to myself,

Oh, hello, everybody.
Hello, Uncle Grumbly.
Hello.
I tell you what, oh, it's nice being back on the show after a long absence.
I know they killed me off, but I've been watching from the sidelines
and I very much support what you're doing tonight.
Why do I have to be here?
And how have the phone lines been?
Have you been getting a lot of donations tonight?
Oh, yes.
No, I've had quite a few donations.
Margaret from Nextdoor left a lot of scat in my bedpan,
and so I've turned that into a nice kind of
minestrone soup of some kind, you know.
Lots of bits in, lots of flouties.
Oh, hell yeah.
Ah, I see.
So, no, you weren't meant to make your own donations in the form of food.
You've been on the line.
I've not been taking any money.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Well, that's what they do.
They call you.
I think you've got one coming through now.
I'll take this phone call.
And then see if they want to donate money.
You've got all the details there on the paper in front of you.
All right.
Hello.
Thank you for calling Red Knob Day.
How much would you like to donate today?
Oh, he wants to donate a fiver.
Well, that's it.
Use the details in front of you there.
All right.
Do you want some scat, sir?
Can I interest you in a nice mucky soup?
Oh, he's gone.
Oh, he's gone. I didn't take his mad car details.
Look, just keep...
Yeah, we're going to have to move on from this.
All right, I tell you what.
Listen, there's a lot going on.
We're live.
It's been really exciting.
It's really exciting.
It looks like the donations are going to hit our target.
Yes, so it's very exciting.
Oh, it's a good time we're having here tonight.
We hope you're having fun at home watching this as well.
But before we go any further with the entertainment tonight
We just want to tell you and remind you about what you're giving money for tonight
Why you're donating you know often it's all fun and games with us on cheap show
It is indeed and you know we do but there is a serious side of the story of the characters very serious
Like there's a few short films tonight
We're gonna be telling you just where your money's going
and so we've got one for you right now.
Let's take it away.
Okay.
Hi, I'm podcaster and comedian Paul Gannon.
I'm out on the streets in Victorian London
to show you where your money's going to go to
this Red Knob Day 2023.
And we're just going to look around now
and just see some of the places
that your money will go to if you donate tonight
on the show. Would you like an all-night
box of matches? Here's one such
poor child who you could be
helping tonight. You boy, you boy,
come over here. Oh, hello. I'm
Paul Gannon from the Internet's
Cheap Show and a reasonably
famous said list celebrity. And I've
chosen to meet you. I didn't understand
any of that well
I'm just out here oh my trousers oh they're very they're all torn at the knee ragged at the hem
and your shoes are all held together with bacon fat nothing but two pieces of old leather with a
nail and the nail don't half dig into me toenail. Oh, it goes under. Can you get a close look at this on camera?
Zoom in on that.
Oh, mister.
You wouldn't have half...
Can you zoom in on the stains on his shirt as well?
Well, you wouldn't have half penny for me to go to the workhouse
and then they let me sleep in the gruel pen.
Well, look, tonight, me and a lot of famous internet podcast celebrities
are raising money to help people like you out on the streets of Victorian Britain.
I'm only an orphan, mister. I'm an orphan living on the streets of Victorian Britain.
What would tuppence get you?
Tuppence? That's more money than I've ever imagined in my whole life.
If I had tuppence, I would go and I would buy a piece of bread.
Well, we could get you more than that.
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?
Oh I've only got 10 minutes, I've got to get back to... Isn't the exposure on these old-timey photos very long?
Stand next to me.
Stand next to me.
I'm just going to pretend to put my arm around you.
Oh, the warmth of your arm is so comforting, mister.
And smile.
And great.
Okay, wonderful.
Now you can go.
All right.
Thank you.
That's just one of the faces your money could be helping tonight on Red Knob Day.
I'm handing you back to the studio.
Thank you.
Moving stuff there.
Very moving stuff.
And I looked great on camera next to that porky.
You looked okay, Paul, yes.
And the phone lines absolutely ringing and a ding-a-ding, ding-dong.
Let's have a quick look at what we've raised so far.
Wow, £500.
You've only been going for about half an hour.
£500. £500. £500 will make a difference. going for about half an hour. £500.
£500.
£500 will make a difference.
Keep on calling in.
We want your money.
We do.
We do want the money.
And now, something very special.
Our first guest spot of the night.
It's our first guest spot of the night.
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...
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
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.
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,
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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...
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?
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?
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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,
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.
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
music and when
it's for a
special cause
you know the
characters
Cheap Show
have been so
good to me
I thought I'll
come out here
and come around
to the studio
and I'll do
something really
special this is
something close
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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
and I've been
doing tours
of the male
cock pants.
People love it,
you know,
because there's
a lot of natural
caves and
they can see
the studio.
Big scribble
turnout.
Oh,
the scribbles,
they're running
everywhere,
scribbles,
people love them.
They pick them
up and I say,
oh,
don't pick them
up because
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
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,
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?
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.
They do.
They need it.
And your donations could help tonight find a Sasquatch or a Yeti
or any cryptid at all a home that's safe.
Mothman.
Mothwomen.
Mothman's out there.
He's looking for a place to stay.
Those horse ones that live in box.
The Jersey Devil.
The Jersey Devil.
The Jersey Devil.
The Jersey Devil.
He's looking for a gas. There's a whole lot. A lot of people don't know, but there's a Jersey Devil. There box. The Jersey Devil. The Jersey Devil. The Jersey Devil. The Jersey Devil. He's looking for a gas.
There's a whole lot.
A lot of people don't know,
but there's a Jersey Devil.
There's a New Jersey Devil.
There's a Rhode Island Devil.
There's a Birmingham Devil.
So, without any further ado,
could you please introduce your song?
Okay.
Thank you very much.
It's a pleasure.
You can get this song tomorrow.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Let's have a little look now.
And here we go.
Hit it.
It's £50,000.
£52,540.
I mean, that's great.
No, but Paul,
how is that possible? I don't know. that's great No but Paul How is that possible?
I don't know
It's great news
for the charities
but that's a lot of money
Where's that coming from?
We've only got
Maybe it's a big hit
and everyone's donating
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
£52,000
£52,000
Excellent work.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Amazing.
Now,
I think it's about time
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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'll let you go.
Fuck off.
Hello.
Red Knob Day.
Storytime Grandad speaking, so I am.
And who is Eli talking to over there in the corner?
Paul, I'm over here and I'm talking to Adolf Manson.
Yes, baby.
Yes, he's taken the night off from being a bartender in a trendy nightclub in Berlin.
It's cool, baby. It's cool.
Okay, hello, Mr. Manson.
Yeah, it's cool, baby. 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.
Brilliant, brilliant.
The most I've ever had, five pounds.
Okay, brilliant, Mr Manson.
They're cool babies. They're such a cool baby.
I give them kissy on the phone like this.
You give them kissy down the phone? I go, for every pound cool baby. I give them kissy on the phone like this. You give them kissy down the phone?
I go, for every pound you give, I give kissy.
Give them a little kissy down the phone.
Just a little kissy down the phone.
Yes, I do.
That's very good.
Thank you so much for coming in.
Yeah, it's been groovy.
And you're going to stay with us?
I'm here all night, baby.
Are you going to have a little break in a minute?
Go back to the...
Actually, I've got...
You know what?
That's a good point.
I've just got to pop backstage for a groovy time, baby.
One sec.
Okay, he's gone back there.
That's...
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
Thanks, Paul. Squishing Squishing Squishing my turds Thanks Paul Will you dance with me?
I'd love to dance with you my dearest
Please come to the stage
And let's have a little bit of a sing song too
Let's have a little squish off
Here we go my darling
Let's sing a song
Please go squishing my turds
I will squish in my turds I will squish in your turds
Oh honey, if my bowels get restless
I'll be there to squish out whatever comes out
Squish it down
So go on, squish on my turds
I will be squishing your turds
Oh honey, when I scat on the floor
I will squish it right in
With my big boots I squish it in
Ooh, and nobody knows it
When I squirt brown, I squish it down
Ooh, and nobody knows it.
Right when I shart, I squish it all round.
Ooh, I squish it all round.
Squish it down, squish it down.
So go on, squirt my shart.
I will be squishing it down.
I apologise for that, darling.
I'll be squishing it.
I'll be squishing it down.
I apologise, it's a live show, I'm a bit nervous.
That's OK, darling, as long as you produce fecal matter,
it'll be the squish.
And nobody told us.
I'll be squishing your shit.
But now you've got to squish on my gravy.
I think I can manage that.
I'll squish it down.
Shh.
Camera three.
Camera two.
Camera three.
Camera three.
Camera three.
Keep on top of that.
Jimmy, one minute.
Yes, Randolph.
Just come over here. Okay. Into this quiet little nook. Jimmy, one... Keep on top of that. Jimmy, one minute. Yes, Brandoff. Just come over here.
Okay, okay.
Into this quiet little nook.
Now, Jimmy.
Yes, boss?
How's it all going?
Like vis-a-vis taking all the money?
Right, well, we are going to circumnavigate that money
through a few offshore accounts.
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.
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.
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
now. Have you heard this song? Have you heard what they're singing?
Alright, alright, good. Ruff, ruff, ruff. And of course, I'll be expecting my share for
the cocaine that you're selling.
I got... we can buy more of that. We can buy more of that with the money we're gonna make.
Have you been getting high on our own supply, Jimmy Ruff Ruff?
I can't speak..., capital, capital!
Right, and also, I need to do one or two things to, you know,
sort out, you know...
You've got some business things to do.
Yes, I got it.
At the end.
And so, could you just elongate your magic act or whatever it is you're doing?
Yeah, but how much more do you need?
Five minutes, ten minutes, what do you need?
Well, I need about an hour, Ruff Ruff.
You need me to do magic for an hour?
Well, just elongate what you do already, Ruff Ruff.
Perhaps instead of cutting the lady in half,
you could cut her into quarters.
Oh, okay, I can make that work.
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.
Oh, the big finale song?
You get the daimler. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you've got it sorted where we're going after, is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah., the big finale song. You'll get the, you'll get the game,
yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then you've got it
sorted where we're going after.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, we've got it.
We'll get the car going.
But they're all
going to be on stage,
all singing their little hearts out.
We're going to be
razzing and bedazzling.
We'll be razzing and,
as you say, bedazzling.
But where are we going?
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?
Yes, if you want, we can go to somewhere that's full of fucking roundabouts.
Good, rough, great.
Right, listen, I've got to get back.
We're getting to the end of this song, so I've got to go back to the studio.
All right, Jimmy.
No, we'll do something like some noise searching.
I don't know what's coming to you, lady blops.
Oh, it's an intimate twister.

I don't even need to wiggle my knob on.
You don't indeed.
I'm getting seepage.
It's not Red Seepage Day, is it?
No, I hope the seepage isn't red.
It's looking quite clear, to be fair,
with a slightly milky hue.
Milky hue?
Anyway, no characters, whatever you do.
Just put a pin in Milky Hugh for next week.
We can't be inventing characters, honestly, because they get angry.
That's what this whole thing's about.
Just put a pin in it for next week.
I want to bring in Milky Hugh.

to our big finale, let's just see one more
time what we've raised on the totaliser
tonight. Yes, let's have a look. Let's have a look. Let's look
at those numbers.
£800,000. £800,000 pounds.
800,000 pounds. Which is clearly wrong.
Jimmy, is that right?
Is that really right?
It can't be right.
Jimmy.
I mean, it's great if you gave.
Jimmy.
Is that?
He's not answering.
Anyway, so we have our big finale now with a great outcome.
Lots of money going to great charities. But I think it's time now we introduce our big finale now with a great outcome. Lots of money going to great charities,
but I think it's time now we introduce our big finale.
Yes, it's a showstopper if I ever did hear it.
What is it?

Oh you with your red knob standing proud.
Ladies and gentlemen, singing tonight, wave your knob.
It's our Cheap Show charity players.
Roll the song.
Right, stop this.
Stop the music.
Stop this.
This has been an outrageous sham tonight.
I'm sorry, who are you?
Step back.
I'm acting as a citizen of the police.
Who's this?
And I'm here to announce and report malfeasance
in this very studio tonight.
Paul, what's going on?
I am Arthur Point,
and I have got shocking evidence
about what's been going on.
Sorry, you can't just come in here
and just barge in.
We're doing a song.
Who is this?
Arthur Point?
I am Arthur Point,
and I demand the mic.
Get out of the way.
I demand the microphone.
You sit down.
Stand over there.
I've got things to say.
Fucking hell.
First of all,
everyone listening,
everyone watching,
everyone listening to this,
take heed,
cheap show,
everyone involved,
con men,
scummers,
they've taken your money and they've given it to private parties who I will soon be revealing.
I'm sorry, what proof do you have of any of this?
Just take a quick look at that totalizer.
What does it say before?
Over 800,000.
800,000, that's a funny number, isn't it?
Now check it now.
Zero.
Hey, why does it say zero all of a sudden?
How can it be zero?
Yeah, because it's gone.
You dickheads are about to sing this song.
Brandoff and Jimmy Biscuits have been siphoning that money to other accounts,
transferring it to bitrate bitcoins, NFTs and back to make real cash,
and they're out the door with all your cash.
You scummers.
How dare you take the kindness of people's money?
How dare you rely on the kindness of strangers and abuse them and their kindness
and take their money and use it to feed this filthy podcast.
I'm sorry, Mr. Point.
You're all disgusting here.
We didn't know about...
Where is...
And they've got the police coming to check into all your dealings.
You're obviously involved.
Where is Brando?
We have nothing to do with this.
We don't know what's going on.
Where are they?
I don't know.
They should be on stage with everyone singing, but no.
Where's Brando?
I can't see him.
Where's Brando?
Look, there he is, coming out the back door.
Yes, watch him. Stop. You come here. What there he is, coming out the back door. Yes, what's Brando?
Stop.
You come here.
What?
What appears to be Roth.
What's in that suitcase?
My stuff.
Roth.
What stuff?
You didn't come in with a suitcase.
You didn't come in with a big, heavy, brown bag.
Well, look, there's actually a lot of things that go on behind the scenes.
Ask him if it's full of money.
It's full of money.
Stop beating around the bush.
Full of bloody money, that.
No, these are simply the receipts.
800 grand.
Ask him where that money comes from. Ask him it's a receipts. 800 grand. Ask him where that money comes from.
Ask him.
It's a bag full of bloody money.
Ask him where it's come from.
No, actually, Ralph, Ralph.
Yeah.
What's going on with this?
These are receipts from the donations,
which the tax office insists on us delivering.
Okay, but where's the money gone from the totaliser?
Why is that all of a sudden gone?
Oh, that's just a glitch or something.
It's just the totaliser's just been... Where's the money? Oh, that's just a glitch or something. It's just the totalizer's just been...
Where's the money?
It's all safely in the foundation.
What do you mean, foundation?
Well, we had to set up a non-profit foundation
in order to process all the gifts
and to give them out to whoever needs
and to run this whole...
Jimmy! Jimmy!
They've rumbled us!
Bring the daemon round
right away!
I got our escape plan sorted.
Get in the back!
Get in the back!
Wait!
Wait!
You fucking fools!
Ruff Ruff!
We've done it again, Jimmy!
You fucking dipshit!
Get out of here!
Back to the roundabout!
See, I told you. Didn't I fucking tell you? We've done it again. We've done it again. We've done it again. We've done it again. We've done it again. We've done it again. We've done it again. We've the roundabout. See, I told you.
Didn't I fucking tell you? He's on the run.
They've ripped us off again. They've gone...
No, they can't have done this twice to us now.
They've ruined this podcast again.
I bet they've gone back to the same roundabout as well.
Well, we can send the police. We can send the police to the roundabout
right now, but I'm not going... I'm not taking the fall
