| ==Track Listing==
| | <br /><br /><br /><br /> The first thing you should do when considering investing in penny stocks is to pick the right security. '''Stocks''' that represent shares of companies that are very new and hardly established often mean a lot of risk is taken on in a trader's investments. So it can be wise to refrain from buying into them. Companies that are well established can also make great investments, even if shares are very cheap. Of course, don't forget to check trading charts for the past few years at online trade sites to find out how new certain companies are. And then if the security is somewhat stable, you should consider on buying shares of a '''[http://www.alphapennystock.com/ penny stock]''' that overall seems likely to rise in value.<br /><br /><br /> And if a stock is very cheap then a lot of shares must be taken on to see any profit, and to beat commission, if applicable. Buying enough shares of a low valued security is an imperative part of any trader's potentially realizing actual gains, as small profit on each share of '''cheap stock''' must be seen on many shares for any actual gain in trading '''[http://www.alphapennystock.com/ hot penny stocks]'''.<br /> |

| ====1. [[29 March 2003/Transcript#That's Safe, You're Going Home with That|That's Safe, You're Going Home with That ''(0:00:00)'']]====
| |
| Ricky dares the audience to listen, or they can take what they've got now. Defaulting to Karl doesn't help. On deck: [[Monkey News]], [[Cheap as Chimps]], some great music, an amusing sketch about a fly..(What?) and the girls from Mystique. Ricky plays the song he used to pose like a motherf... it's ''Street Life'' by Roxy Music. Steve preferred Black Lace's ''Superman''.

| ====2. [[29 March 2003/Transcript#My Auntie Had Wind for Five Minutes|My Auntie Had Wind for Five Minutes ''(0:02:28)'']]====
| |
| Ricky recalls the outfit he would have worn while posing to music, which included a shirt with women in a bikini eating bananas. When combined with a leather jacket, it made him look like quite the man. Steve has Ricky recite the story about his "Bullshit" sweatshirts. Ricky also remembers the time he took a bath with all this white shirts and Daz to kill two birds with one stone. Karl is provoked for thoughts, but is just trying to work out how to cram in all the features, including [[Songs of Phrase]], [[Cheeky Freak of the Week]], and [[Karl in a Film]]. A listener suggests other Songs of Phrase including "Karl.. I don't know where to start." and "Karl which bit of that do you think is true?". The phrase this week is "my auntie had wind for five minutes" a throw back to the time that Karl's [[Auntie Nora]] passed gas for five minutes straight. Ricky is laughing and loving it. Steve lists the [[Competition_Prizes|competition prizes]], which includes Series 1 and 2 of ''Bread'' which prompts Ricky to sing the theme song.

| | |
| ====3. [[29 March 2003/Transcript#Welcome to Chinatown|Welcome to Chinatown ''(0:09:59)'']]====
| |
| E-mails are weak for Songs of Phrase, but Karl hypothesises it's because of the website. Steve begins an anecdote about walking through [[Fan Animations#Chinatown|Chinatown]]. He believes it's more of a novelty street, and not so much a town. Ricky and Steve roleplay debating the merits of Chinatown. Steve had imagined it with gongs, rickshaws, and little wooden shoes but it's actually more like a cheap museum ride. Ricky then tries to rationalise "traditional" Chinese music. Karl chimes in with his Chinatown pet peeves. He doesn't think there should be so many Chinese restaurants because there is too much selection. He also doesn't like the dead ducks hanging in the window, because usually you put your best stuff in the window. Plus, there's always lard in the streets (hence the little wooden shoes). Karl replays Songs of Phrase because he's getting annoyed that no one can get it.

| | |
| ====4. [[29 March 2003/Transcript#And You Stitched Him Up On Radio|And You Stitched Him Up On Radio ''(0:15:30)'']]====
| |
| Steve apologises for his comment about little Chinese shoes, which spurs a discussion about complaints. Ricky talks about the time he received about a complaint for telling a story about a man who used bacon and a dog for sexual reasons. Karl doesn't think it's that bad. Ricky says the two highest number of complaints received for a broadcast were the showing of the Last Temptation of Christ and when Anne Robinson slagged off the Welsh. Karl doesn't see what's wrong with insulting Wales because it's not an uplifting place. Karl cites [[Karl's Dad|his father]] nicking food from the telephone box as an example of the Welsh lifestyle. Ricky is shocked. Karl realizes what he just said but justifies it by saying that they haven't got Sky yet.

| ====5. [[29 March 2003/Transcript#Havin' It Away on Film|Havin' It Away on Film ''(0:20:51)'']]====
| |
| Ricky addresses the listener about the posters advertising the show. He thinks Karl should be in the poster as well because that's who the listeners tune in for. Karl puts up a weak argument against him being on the poster. If he was on the poster, there'd be too much to take in. Steve likens it to Ringo being left out of the Beatles, Ricky thinks it's like Rutherford and Genesis. Steve tells Karl a lot of listeners think he's fat. Karl then uses a strange circular logic to close the case. Karl is baffled by footage of himself that Ricky shot in the studio, though he would be more confident if stood next to Steve. Ricky brings up the Last Temptation of Christ again. Steve explains complaints were given because of the depiction of Jesus having it away. This compels Karl to ponder over sex in films. He recalls when growing up how his father would leave the room when a sex scene happened. His father still doesn't like sex scenes today. Steve says that most films have their sex scene warranted, unless it's a film like ''Illegal Briefs''. Steve rants against a faulty IMDb. Karl's curiosity brings it back to the Temptation and how to avoid getting complaints for it. Karl cites ''Meet Meet Meet Joe Black'' as an example of his parents avoiding sex scenes. Steve theorises that it's them trying to prevent Karl from learning about procreation. Karl says the other predictable thing about his mom (aside turning the channel during sex scenes) is saying Elvis likes fat ugly people whenever he is on the telly. Steve and Ricky are bamboozled at the alternate universe the Pilkingtons are living in. Karl stops the link.

| ====6. [[29 March 2003/Transcript#That's Been Put to Bed|That's Been Put to Bed ''(0:32:56)'']]====
| |
| The listeners agree that Karl should be on the poster. One e-mail likens him to Charlie Brown. Karl launches into another argument saying that after people have seen him there's nowhere else to go from there. Karl announces the answers to Songs of Phrase. Steve incorrectly says Karl got the numbers confused in his own brain.
| |
| | |
| ====7. [[29 March 2003/Transcript#Yep, Alright? Monkey's Gone Mad Again|Yep, Alright? Monkey's Gone Mad Again ''(0:37:09)'']]====
| |
| Time for ppprrwww Monkey News, zzzzzsssoo Monkey Monkey News. Today's monkey is Koko. He speaks, highly educated, photographer, and also likes going on computer chat rooms. Steve brings up the [[infinite monkey theorem]] again, and Karl reckons that this one would be too busy to type. Karl would love to have a little monkey. Ricky tries to explain things to Karl in vain. Karl references Stephen Hawking and believes he's smart because he has the time to learn because he's in a wheelchair.
| |
| | |
| ====8. [[29 March 2003/Transcript#Where Does the Cheap as Chimps Element Come In?|Where Does the Cheap as Chimps Element Come In? ''(0:42:19)'']]====
| |
| Ricky requests Karl do Cheap as Chimps. For this week Karl has looked online at prices of various animals and Ricky and Steve have to guess how much they were. Karl doesn't want to give away the website name because of the immorality about it.
| |
| *Camel - $8,000
| |
| *Sloth - $3,000
| |
| *Bengal Tiger - $1,800
| |
| *Chimp - $55,000
| |
| Mad innit? Karl wants to axe the feature because apparently chimps aren't so cheap. Karl cuts the link.
| |
| | |
| ====9. [[29 March 2003/Transcript#Useful Patter|Useful Patter ''(0:45:38)'']]====
| |
| Ricky remembers his days as a DJ in a pub and starts a rant against wedding reception DJ patter. It should be more useful: "Would the overweight aunt please in the purple dress please take the floor with the little unfortunate kid..." and "Will the 45 year old woman recently divorced, please cry now." Steve goes into the rules of DJing, saying "Oh What a Night" should be saved and talking buffet dynamics. Karl brings up his days in [[Pilkie's Makin Music]] and how [[Colin Makin|Colin]] would flick the lights on and off in beat to the music. Karl then tells a story about his friend DJing and how the police had to come in and have everyone sit down, except for the kid in the calipers. Steve comes back with the time he played for some scouts and they went out of control. Ricky is suddenly baffled by the concept of a Bar Mitzvah.
| |
| | |
| ====10. [[29 March 2003/Transcript#Cheeky Freaks|Cheeky Freaks ''(0:53:55)'']]====
| |
| Ricky makes a run through of all the people they've offended over the course of the show. Karl doesn't think they have time for the film thing, so Cheeky Freak of the Week is done instead. Karl likes freaks when what you hear is what you get (e.g. Elephant Man, Hairy Chinese Kid). The subject matter turns over to obese people. Karl tells about a German man who needed the firefighters to bring in the hoses to save him after he fell over. But the actual Cheeky Freak of the Week is a fella with 27 toes and fingers. Ricky and Steve speculates on what his job could be. Karl gives some pros and cons to being the Elephant Man. Ricky goads Karl into telling about the Elephant Woman from Manchester (aka Spudhead) from his childhood.
