Track Listing

Steve is back after having been at his parents house in Bristol for the past week nursing a sore throat. Ricky injured his back on Tuesday boxing, but is here too. Karl on the other hand has just returned from holidays with Suzanne's parents.

2. Recap of Ricky & Karl's Meeting During The Week (0:03:08)

Karl recaps Ricky and his meeting during the week which involved head squeezing technique practice and a recording of a advert which Karl promises later in the show.


Thin Lizzy - The Boys Are Back In Town (00:03:46)

3. Past Experiences With The Sick (0:04:08)

Conversation returns to Steve's illness for a breif moment, before it turns to Karl recounting the first time Suzzanne was sick while they were going out. Suzzanne had a cold and Karl begged her to come to the supermarket and help him shop, he told her to "hang about in the frozen chicken section"... it made her worse. Karl retells the story where he was chosen to serve biscuits to old people because of his clean nails.

4. Ricky's Adverts (0:08:42)

Karl has found the adverts Ricky recorded for X-Ray magazine during the week. One features Ricky acting a drunk/ageing Ricky, and the other features Dr. Frog.


Badly Drawn Boy - All Possibilities (00:11:38)

5. Say Hello To Camp David & Ho-Lee Fuk (0:11:42)

Ricky introduces us to his new characters Camp David, the right queer gay and Ho-Lee Fuk, the funny little Chinaman. The latter's name is cause for concern for Karl.

Karl floats the notion of reintroducing Rockbusters


Sugar - If I Can't Change Your Mind (00:16:16)
Coldplay - The Scientist (00:16:45)

7. The Professor (0:16:53)

Karl has apparently labelled Steve "The Professor" after a photo of Steve in New Media magazine. Conversation soon turns to the looks of childhood Karl and Ricky.

8. All Things Hygienic (0:18:57)

Steve recounts a story from earlier in the week where a homeless man shook his hand in line for a sandwhich. The boys then question the hygeine of Columbo. Camp David returns from earlier as Gayvid Gray, the bent pianist.

9. Rockbusters Is Back! (0:23:55)


The Who - The Seeker (00:24:15)
After a 5 minute e-mail poll, Rockbusters returns. In the interim Richard Anderson enters as one of Ricky's characters. Up for grabs today, a Yardbirds CD, a Kugan's Run VHS, Dr Who VHS and X-List CD, aka The Usual Tat.
The clues are:

LB: The Gingerbread Man has only got one leg.
TTD: These people from the East Midlands swear a lot.
TB: Have a holiday in Italy.


Feeder - Think About Tomorrow (00:28:37)
Placebo - The Bitter End (00:28:38)

10. The Characters In Ricky's Life (0:28:55)

Posh Bloke Who Doesn't Care About The Homeless, joins Ricky's cast of characters, starting a discussion on how Karl finds Ricky's friends are all different. Ricky recounts a story where he, after knowing Karl found his friend Robin annoying, set up a meeting between the two resulting in some reasonably anti-social behaviour having Karl ask "What is he doing here? You know I hate him".

11. A Rule Of Thumb (0:33:30)

Robin's small thumbs cause Karl to research little thumbs. He found that the saying "A Rule Of Thumb" comes from husbands not being able to hit their wives with anything thinner than their thumb.

12. Kissing (0:35:17)

Steve and Ricky mock the "No Petting" signs at public pools. Karl then airs his disdain for public displays of affection. A Fat Fella With Lipstick joins as a character into the song.


The Cure - The Forrest (00:36:45)

11. Rockbusters Results (0:37:00)

Robin's small thumbs cause Karl to research little thumbs. He found that the saying "A Rule Of Thumb" comes from husbands not being able to hit their wives with anything thinner than their thumb.

Limp Bizkit:The Gingerbread Man has only got one leg.
Terrance Trent Darby (Terrets-Trent-Derby): These people from the East Midlands swear a lot.
Turin Brakes: Have a holiday in Italy.

12. The Aftermarth (0:38:50)

Karl bemoans the mountains of emails he recieved from listeners at the request of Ricky and Steve on last week's show.


Radiohead - There There (00:40:40)

Gayvid Gray drops in once again briefly.


Steeley Dan - Realing In The Gears (00:41:53)

13. Karltoon (0:42:12)

The bidding for Ricky's cartoon of Karl bidding is now up to 200 quid. Karl coins the now infamous "squoozed" term.

14. Karl's Holiday (0:45:00)

Karl recounts to Steve his recent holiday with Suzanne's parents. Things got of to a rocky start after Karl made a joke about her mother dying and while Karl liked the villa, he did find it difficult to get alone time with Suzzanne.


U2 - With Or Without You (00:51:49)

15. Cheeky Freak of the Week (0:52:15)

Today is people with deformed back legs known as "dogpeople". Ricky questions wether this segment is offensive in anyway.

16. Monkey News (0:54:23)

Today is a follow up to a previous Monkey News about Alfred who robbed the robber at the bank. Alfred, after taking the money and taking weapons manages to negotiate and strike a deal with the zookeepers to ensure their release in exchange for funds. Ricky is so infuriated by the story that he leaves the studio midway through the story.
