[[Stephen Merchant|Steve]] opens the show by boasting that he thinks a woman pinched his arse on the way to the studio. [[Karl Pilkington|Karl]] has a similar story; on the way in, a homeless person called him a "dickhead".
====1. [[09 November 2002/Transcript#Karl Gets Aggro From a Tramp|Karl Gets Aggro From a Tramp]] ''(0:00:00)''====
Steve's well chuffed as he <I>thinks</I> he got his arse pinched on the tube at Green Park and is planning to launch an investigation to track her down. Karl is put out that he has been called a 'dickhead' by a tramp after suggesting he 'dump all the Big Issues in the bin and go home'. Steve and Ricky give us a couple of short anecdotes about tramps and Ricky teases the listener(s?) with info on his upcoming charity boxing match.
 
====2. [[09 November 2002/Transcript#Ricky 'Gyppo' Gervais|Ricky 'Gyppo' Gervais]] ''(0:05:55)''====
Ricky reveals he is up against Anthea Turner's husband, Grant Bovey, for the charity boxing match. He is in need of a boxing name and suggested Ricky 'Gyppo' Gervais as a joke to the programme makers who didn't get it and told him it was offensive. Ricky puts it out to the listeners for ideas for names.
 
====3. [[09 November 2002/Transcript#Karl The Crusader|Karl The Crusader]] ''(0:10:49)''====
The suggestions for names are coming in thick and fast. Karl has a theory that choosing a good name might look bad if Ricky loses. Karl tells Ricky and Steve about his brief career in boxing and after Steve jibes Karl that he gives up too easily, Karl regales them of the [[Crusaders]], a Christian Church club in Manchester that he went to but only on Fridays when they did the fun stuff like table tennis. After dodging the churchy side of the club on Sundays for several weeks, he was tracked down by the club manager who forced him to go and gives him a lift in his car. However, Karl dodges a bullet when the manager nearly kills him by mounting the kerb in his Mini and Karl uses this as an excuse not to go again. Steve informs us there's [[Educating Ricky]] and [[Rockbusters]] coming up later.
 
====4. [[09 November 2002/Transcript#Wet-Knee Houston|Wet-Knee Houston]] ''(0:21:06)''====
There's some cracking [[Rockbusters]] prizes this week in the form of various arbitrary CD's and DVD's as well as Steve's recently discovered copy of a VHS whilst he's moving house.....EXECUTIVE DECISION! The clues are read out and Ricky explodes when he works out the third, now classic, clue.
 
====5. [[09 November 2002/Transcript#Dicky's Back|Dicky's Back]] ''(0:26:29)''====
Some more suggestions of boxing names for Ricky including 'Toad Rage'. Steve reads out the second email sent by [[Richard Anderson]], querying what the actual point of the show is "...to confuse, irritate or depress?"
 
====6. [[09 November 2002/Transcript#Karl Gives Ricky The Cold Shoulder|Karl Gives Ricky The Cold Shoulder]] ''(0:27:23)''====
It's the first part of [[Educating Ricky]]. Karl gives us this week's teaser titles "We'll have a big fire to-marrow", "He's a bit of a noose-ance" and "I'll ba-con in the morning if you're sick of having me here". Ricky opts for the latter and Karl informs him of the origins of the saying "to give someone the cold shoulder". 
 
====7. [[09 November 2002/Transcript#The Old Man And The Twix|The Old Man And The Twix]] ''(0:31:52)''====
Karl's discovered a story on the internet about an 8-year old that still suckles from his mam's nipple and asks Ricky if he 'can get anything out of that?'. After querying how Karl came upon this story, Ricky explodes in laughter when Karl remembers he found it whilst trying to confuse the computer by typing in 'why?'. After discussing at length how to solve the problem of asking the woman to stop feeding her child in public (Karl would ask her to put the milk in a bowl first), Karl's classic observation is explained to Ricky that "you never see an old man eating a twix" as it "doesn't look right".
 
====8. [[09 November 2002/Transcript#Karl's Bone-fire|Karl's Bone-fire]] ''(0:38:39)''====
After Ricky's anecdote about how Karl got confused when he saw a parking ticket being issued to a piece of rubbish in Scotland, Steve suggests a special one-off return of [[White Van Karl]] for later in the show. The second [[Educating Ricky]] clue, "We'll have a big fire to-marrow", is read out and Karl explains the origins of the word 'Bonfire'.
 
====9. [[09 November 2002/Transcript#The Boy Without A Brain|The Boy Without A Brain]] ''(0:44:14)''====
Ricky's annoyed at Karl after he informs him of a boy that was born without a brain who laughs a lot but his hearing and sight are OK. [[White Van Karl]] is back for a one week only special. Karl and Ricky have stories about the mis-use of swear words by kids who don't understand the meaning and Steve has an anecdote of his introduction of the word 'twat' to his Dad who still uses it to this day despite not knowing the true meaning (which Steve later found out to his horror).
 
 
====10. [[09 November 2002/Transcript#Money For Old Rope|Money For Old Rope]] ''(0:50:47)''====
It's the final [[Educating Ricky]] story, "He's a bit of a noose-uisance". Karl gives Steve and Ricky the true story behind the origins of the saying 'Money For Old Rope' and throws in a useless bonus fact about hangmen as well. The answers for Rockbusters are revealed and the Wet-Knee Houston clue goes down in history. Karl quickly talks about Brian Blessed crapping himself atop Mount Everest again despite Karl's confusion as to why he would want to go for a second time as 'nothing's changed'.

[[Ricky Gervais|Ricky]] begins a quest for a great boxing nickname for his upcoming celebrity fight and appeals to the listeners for suggestions.  Karl wonders what the point of Ricky's endeavour is, if he isn't considering a career in boxing.


Karl describes his experience as a child with the Crusaders, a religious youth organisation.  On Fridays he'd go because they'd have Subbuteo and Table Tennis, but the Sunday bible study session was like a "totally different club".  With no Table Tennis and no Subbuteo, he stopped going on Sundays and would hide when the "head fella" would come to his house, looking for him.  Steve asks if the "head fella" was God.


(26:48) Steve then chimes in with a new email from [[Richard Anderson]] -- "What is the point of your show, is it to confuse, irritate, depress, or what?" to which Steve replies, "All those things Dickie!"

Karl believes he's running out of material for [[Educating Ricky]], because in the few weeks they've been doing it, he's covered a lot already.  He forges ahead though and brings us the fifth installment in this series. He did read a story on the internet about an eight year old child in America who still breast feeds and insists Ricky tell him what he'd do about it.  When Ricky turns the question around, Karl says that he'd suggest the mother "put it in a bowl" for him.  Ricky and Steve wonder where on the internet Karl finds this stuff.  Karl says he just searched "Why", in an attempt to confuse the computer.
