====6. The Prize Is Rock (busters)====
====6. [[28 May 2005/Transcript#Gog-lanker|Gog-lanker]] ''(0:29:18)''====
It's oh so quiet, it's oh so still... dead air. Steve says Karl is more backwards than ever. Karl advises a Japanese man who's getting married to take some good wedding photos before she gets old. He says in a roundabout manner that Suzanne's mum isn't exactly a pretty thing. He promises to tell of his holiday with Suzanne later in the show. Ricky tells of the Rockbusters prizes; a signed Spinal Tap poster courtesy of Christopher Guest, a drawing of Homer Simpson insulting our Karl by Matt Groening and a drawing of the Holy Trinity of Comedy as Flanimals; "bloat dumbplunt" "gog-lanker" and "pinkloid numbscrunt".


[[Image:Spinal.jpg|100px|right|]]


====7. Craptic Clues, it's Rockbusters====
*Karl advises a Japanese man who is soon to marry his Japanese fiancé to take some good wedding photos before she gets old fast.
Steve shows his hand-eye coordination by spilling champagne on some wires, before shamelessly plugging said champagne, and begging for more products, possibly literally, but we cannot see if he is kneeling down or not. Ricky promises to shoot a cork at Karl's head for the finale. Karl sets the Rockbusters:


<br>1. So you get a bulb (Karl collapses into a fit of the giggles as Ricky mocks his accent) and look after it, teach it stuff, what're you doing there, know what I mean, what's gone on? - R.  
*Karl comments on [[Suzanne]]'s [[Suzanne's Parents|mother]]'s looks.


<br>2. Errr... People have problem doing this when they get home from a night's drinking, what's the problem? - K.  
*[[Rockbusters]] prizes include a signed Spinal Tap poster, a drawing of Homer Simpson and a drawing of Ricky, Steve and Karl immortalized as [[Flanimals]] "bloat dumbplunt", "gog-lanker" and "pinkloid numbscrunt".

====8. Arachn-eats Chicken====
[[Image:Champagne.jpg|100px|right|]]
Steve tells listeners to keep listening for the cork-popping finale, just for the sound. "It's not 'app'nin'" Karl says. Ricky hopes for a cowbell or woodblock sound. Ricky wants people to send him stuff to "Harm Karl" with, Steve suggests trapping his head inside a George Foreman grill. Ricky tells of his torture instrument; a tea towel with a spoon in, he turns it. "It hurts" Karl, the victim, contributes. Steve says he was praying for a tsunami while watching Celebrity Love Island. The Oggmonster compares Karl to Paul Danan, thanks to the Ex-Hollyoaks simpleton's plea that "I like Lady Isabella Harvey 'cause she don't like books and I don't like books." Ricky and Steve hate Big Brother, Rebecca Loos ("wonked off a pog") and Abi Titmuss ("do these people have families? Her nan must be proud.") Ricky confesses that he'll watch Big Brother for the next 6 weeks to see if anyone gets hurt. He says Karl should go on but the Manc hates it, and it annoys him that Gervais watches it, presumably while eating cheese and drinking beer. Karl says there is always something better on, for example, the program about foot long spider that eats chicken. He thinks it's worrying that nobody is talking about it, especially as it can move,; "they come over here in bananas" he frets.


*Steve spills champagne by accident, then asks for more free products.


====9. Bad Lyrics====
*[[Rockbusters]] clues given.  
Ricky advertises "Rock Godz", with a "z" and an umlaut. He tells of the bad lyrics in the song by Rick Springfield; "I tell her I love her but the point may be moot." Steve quotes Brian Adams ("he thinks he's Bruce Springsteen" the lanky one says); "I'm in my hotel room/ There's a knock on the door and I get nervous/ I'm hoping it's you/ It's just room service". The DJ on the show that Steve heard that piece of tripe on, Christian O'Connel remarked "that sounded great", which Steve thinks is a perfect response to a rubbish session as it compliments the engineers, Karl chuckles at that, being as how he works in sound and all. Ricky applauds Brian Adams for buying the noisy pub next door to him, Karl thinks it's daft. Ricky says the highlight of Extras was dressing his editor up as a baby, such a sophisticated man!


Rockbusters Answers:

Oh yes, the finale! Steve films as Gervais readies the bottle. Karl adopts the Brace position with this hands on head. Ricky fires! Karl grunts in pain! "Did that hit me?" he shouts, it seems it went off course. Steve wants more bottles to practice.  


*Karl tells a tale of a foot-long spider which eats chicken, which worries him as he thinks they come over here in bananas.


====11. Don't swat a fly, SWAT a monkey====
====9. [[28 May 2005/Transcript#That Sounded Great!|That Sounded Great!]] ''(0:49:12)''====
Gervais and Merchant recap ("finger up arse, Kants, racism, cork on head...") Monkey News time people. Karl says he hasn't really had time to digest it properly. Ricky says they're not proper anyway. Karl suggests a repeat, Gervais demands new stuff then when Karl begins he thinks he's making it up as the Manc isn't reading from a piece of paper. Karl proceeds. He says that the police are having recruitment problems so the American SWAT have been taking on Monkeys and giving them Walkie Talkies ("They can't talk!" Ricky argues. "They're just Walkies," quick witted Merchant adds.) Karl says the monkeys have been given commands, they're good at getting into small spaces and good at cracking stuff. "It's just half a story I picked up on," he protests when Gervais gets angry. "It's not a story!" the little fat man with the pug nosed face (David Bowie's words, not mine) shouts. "What do you want?" Karl asks, like a little boy in a corner. "Monkey News!" Steve shouts, sounding not unlike a chimp himself as he blares it into the ears of XFM listeners. "This is one of the worst shows we've ever done," Gervais criticises. Even placid Steve gets angry. Karl protests that he needs to keep the show fresh, then he cuts to adverts. A triumphant return!
