The final show of Series 2, before [[Ricky]] and [[Steve]] are away filming the [http://www.pilkipedia.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=The_Office#Christmas_Specials|The Office Special].
'''16 August 2003''' It's the final show so Ricky introduces 'Knobnews' and tries to explain the theory of relativity.


==Track Listing==
==Track Listing==


1. '''Finale'''
====1. Embarrassing Being on Xfm  ''(0:00:00)''====
<br>''I would have thought that if someone was interested in having some good chat and some great laughts they'd spend more time with their friends. Or listen to a better radio station.''
Ricky and Steve don't need to come back after their upcoming break, and largely do the show to ridicule Karl.  Steve thinks [[Xfm]] is just for background music during hoovering, but Ricky doesn't think the fans hoover at all. You've got to Rainbow something.
 
 
2. '''Morale'''
<br>''It's interesting how Ricky was saying he only does it for the fun. I haven't even got that bit. I'm paid peanuts for working Saturdays - which wrecks my weekend - and I have no fun. When I was trying to work with Steve, I think you were playing the accordion in my ear. Was it the accordion?''
 
 
3. '''Deception'''
<br>''So he says 'Come in the flat, got an intersting book you might like' So I go in thinking that we're gonna get some good ideas from this book. Couldn't find the book, he looked for about 40 seconds and says 'Never mind, let's have a wrestle!'.''
 
 
4. '''Knobnews'''
<br>''I read that the smallest ever functioning penis was under three quarters of an inch when erect. That is bad luck isn't it? That is a micro penis.''


====2. Can't Wait for Three O'Clock  ''(0:02:42)''====
''Since You've Been Gone'' has everything, and is for [[Ian Camfield|Camfield]].  Steve gives out the email and Ricky makes an attempt at the Xfm phone number.  Karl's paid peanuts for this and has no fun.  Ricky was playing an accordion to annoy Karl, and Steve thinks Ricky will be relentless when he doesn't see Karl regularly and that Xfm won't take his badge away.


5. '''Tramps'''
====3. Are You Sure You're Not a Bender? ''(0:05:58)''==== 
<br>''Do you think they ever wake up, like at nine o clock before they've had anything and go 'Ooohhh! I was pissed last night!' 'Yeah, you were talking absolute rubbish' 'Oh, was I really embarrassing?'. I just imagine one of 'em going 'I'm not coming out tonight I've got no money', 'Well nor have we yet...'''
A listener emails in with a plea.  Ricky lied to Karl to get him to come 'round last night. Ricky gave up looking for a book and beckoned Karl for a wrestle. His pant-clad antics led Karl to compare him to a gay sumo wrester. Extensive discussion about Karl noshing off Nero.


====4. Knob News Extra ''(0:11:33)''====
Ricky and Steve have a book about man's bodies, from which they got today's [[Knob News]] about the world's smallest functioning penis.  More Nero chat and Karl continues to deny that he'd ever "do it".  Karl tells about a sex ed class he had as a kid and his [[Karl's Schoolmates|classmate]] Paula who fainted during the video. 


6. '''Rockbusters'''
====5. I Only Made 18p Today ''(0:17:28)''====
<br>''Rockbusters is basically Blockbusters - completely ripped off- done with music. It may or may not be a cryptic clue, may or may not be an actual band and may or may not be the letters he said.''
Ricky walked past some tramps near Shaftsbury Avenue today planning their social calendar and proceeds to speculate on their day-to-day conversations. Steve is annoyed by a tramp who asked him the time.  Ricky has 8 standing orders, Steve feels as if people are just trying to take his money between his house and the tube and Karl is now helping out Africa, but doesn't like giving out his bank details.  Karl moved from his last flat because of the hassle of tramps and charities.


====6. It's Just Some Words ''(0:25:00)''====
For the last show, Karl has brought back [[Rockbusters]] and Ricky and Steve attempt to explain it, without much enthusiasm.


7. '''Streettalk'''
====7. It's All Slang ''(0:28:15)''====
<br>''it's the idea that an East End villain is going to write his biography and go 'I think I'll play with the form here, I'm going to get quite post-modern with this' he can hardly write probably...''
Karl has done some research on Ebonics.  Why use police slang like 187?  Steve and Ricky query just how cryptic Cockney rhyming slang actually is.  Lots of new words get in the dictionary.  Karl talks about when he tried to read ''The Guv'nor'' by Lenny McLean, but the pages were in the wrong order.


====8. We Don't Need Him  ''(0:34:14)''====
Karl doesn't like reading books but tried to learn about Einstein from a science magazine.  [[Suzanne]] suggested he read it aloud to himself in the bedroom but he still couldn't understand it.  Ricky tries to explain how time is relative, and Karl also has thoughts on Newton.


8. '''Relativity'''
====9. They're Gonna Tear Us to Shreds ''(0:39:24)''====
<br>''I mean, I mean my head's buzzing but I can't be bothered. I just can't be bothered. Don't think that this reaction is a good reaction, I just don't know where to start with this drivel!''
Karl as ''dimis mancoid''. ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'' are listening in today. Steve is taken aback by this news and is embarrassed by the show so far.  Does Karl look between the lines?  Karl attempts the word "antediluvian" but thinks it's "antidewean".  Ricky and Steve love ''The Telegraph'', its font, the Tory party and think it's too inexpensive.


====10. Buy The Telegraph  ''(0:44:33)''====
The people who work at Xfm are drug users, alcoholics, and sex offenders but normally Ricky and Steve talk satire.  Oh, Proust.  Ricky loves politics and has something to say about John Prescott and George W. Bush. 


9. '''Telegraph'''  
====11. I'm Exposing Myself While Looking at Some Free Fanny ''(0:47:00)''====
<br>''I think I know what Monday's headline's gonna be. It's not gonna be about the power cuts, or the enquiry or terrorism. It's going to be 'No More To Knobnews!''
Time for the "usual" round-up of the news, because they always try to be informative. Policeman caught photographing up woman's skirt.  Karl recaps about the people outside his window at his old flat, and tells of his new neighbours who are moved in but have no curtains.  [[Karl Washes Up and Shows Some Cheek|While he was washing up he saw a woman]] with no knickers on and gave her a sly look at his arse cheek for the sake of fairness.


====12. It's Not Cryptic, It's Wrong ''(0:54:09)''====
Rockbusters answers; Ricky is livid and Steve insults the winner.


10. '''Politics'''
====13. Are You Familiar With Hundredth Monkey? ''(0:56:07)''==== 
<br>''Oh, politics. Though. What do you think of politics? Say something satirical about, er, John Prescott. What do you make of George W Bush - he's a bit stupid isn't he?''
Steve wants to thank the emailers and listeners even though they never reply. [[Adam Buxton|Adam]] and [[Joe Cornish|Joe]] are filling in for them starting next week. Ricky explains his methodical expertise on driving his friends almost to the point of madness.  The link begins to break down as Karl can't get through a [[Monkey News]] extra about monkeys washing potatoes.  The proper Monkey News is about a monkey football team in Costa Rica, who have a goalkeeper with a PhD in Physics.  Goodbyes all round, to end the link.

This vegetable started life down under.  <span title="Kelly Osbourne" style="color: red" id=title>K.O.</span> <br>
<br>''So you were looking at a woman dancing around naked, right? So the only thing you could do was immediately drop your boxer shorts?!''

12. '''Answers'''
<br>''This is rubbish. This isn't even funny it's just wrong. It's not cryptic it's just wrong! Colly Osbourne? Her name is not Colly! HER NAME IS NOT COLLY!''
 
 
13. '''Monkey News'''
<br>''Well I believe that he's got better exam results than you Karl, but I don't believe he's got a PhD in Physics...''

Since You've Been Gone has everything, and is for Camfield. Steve gives out the email and Ricky makes an attempt at the Xfm phone number. Karl's paid peanuts for this and has no fun.

3. Are You Sure You're Not a Bender? (0:05:58)

A listener emails in with a plea. Ricky lied to Karl to get him to come 'round last night. Ricky gave up looking for a book and beckoned Karl for a wrestle. His pant-clad antics led Karl to compare him to a gay sumo wrester. Extensive discussion about Karl noshing off Nero.

4. Knob News Extra (0:11:33)

Ricky and Steve have a book about man's bodies, from which they got today's Knob News about the world's smallest functioning penis. More Nero chat and Karl continues to deny that he'd ever "do it".

5. I Only Made 18p Today (0:17:28)

Ricky walked past some tramps near Shaftsbury Avenue today planning their social calendar and proceeds to speculate on their day-to-day conversations. Steve is annoyed by a tramp who asked him the time. Ricky has 8 standing orders, Steve feels as if people are just trying to take his money between his house and the tube and Karl is now helping out Africa, but doesn't like giving out his bank details. Karl moved from his last flat because of the hassle of tramps and charities.

6. It's Just Some Words (0:25:00)

For the last show, Karl has brought back Rockbusters and Ricky and Steve attempt to explain it, without much enthusiasm.

7. It's All Slang (0:28:15)

Karl has done some research on Ebonics. Why use police slang like 187? Steve and Ricky query just how cryptic Cockney rhyming slang actually is. Lots of new words get in the dictionary. Karl talks about when he tried to read The Guv'nor by Lenny McLean, but the pages were in the wrong order.

8. We Don't Need Him (0:34:14)

Karl doesn't like reading books but tried to learn about Einstein from a science magazine. Suzanne suggested he read it aloud to himself in the bedroom but he still couldn't understand it. Ricky tries to explain how time is relative, and Karl also has thoughts on Newton.

9. They're Gonna Tear Us to Shreds (0:39:24)

Karl as dimis mancoid. The Daily Telegraph are listening in today. Steve is taken aback by this news and is embarrassed by the show so far. Does Karl look between the lines? Karl attempts the word "antediluvian" but thinks it's "antidewean". Ricky and Steve love The Telegraph, its font, the Tory party and think it's too inexpensive.

10. Buy The Telegraph (0:44:33)

The people who work at Xfm are drug users, alcoholics, and sex offenders but normally Ricky and Steve talk satire. Oh, Proust. Ricky loves politics and has something to say about John Prescott and George W. Bush.

11. I'm Exposing Myself While Looking at Some Free Fanny (0:47:00)

Time for the "usual" round-up of the news, because they always try to be informative. Policeman caught photographing up woman's skirt. Karl recaps about the people outside his window at his old flat, and tells of his new neighbours who are moved in but have no curtains. While he was washing up he saw a woman with no knickers on and gave her a sly look at his arse cheek for the sake of fairness.

12. It's Not Cryptic, It's Wrong (0:54:09)

Rockbusters answers; Ricky is livid and Steve insults the winner.

13. Are You Familiar With Hundredth Monkey? (0:56:07)

Steve wants to thank the emailers and listeners even though they never reply. Adam and Joe are filling in for them starting next week. Ricky explains his methodical expertise on driving his friends almost to the point of madness. The link begins to break down as Karl can't get through a Monkey News extra about monkeys washing potatoes. The proper Monkey News is about a monkey football team in Costa Rica, who have a goalkeeper with a PhD in Physics. Goodbyes all round, to end the link.
