====Buttplugs====
====1. [[29 November 2003/Transcript#Free Buttplugs With Every Sale|Free Buttplugs With Every Sale]] ''(0:00:00)''====
-But we're award winning people! We've written a TV show...<br>
[[Karl]] has seen an unusual offer in a Soho shop window. What is the purpose of butt plugs?  [[Steve]] can't believe they're already talking about this.  [[Ricky]] makes them take an impromptu phone call on the subject. 
-Not on radio though, not on radio! We're rubbish on radio! We've got nothing to lose!


====Rude====
====2. [[29 November 2003/Transcript#The Hassle Of Having Friends And Family|The Hassle Of Having Friends And Family]] ''(0:04:41)''====
-You didn't even bother to have a look. You could have been courteous and have a look at the picture.<br>
Karl's had some phone calls about butt plugs but is bemused.  Karl likes short stories. He's in ''Heat'' next week and dislikes the picture they're putting in. He doesn't want people knowing what he looks like, including [[Karl's Brother|his brother]] and [[Karl's Sister|sister]].  Ricky tells about when Karl ran into his sister in a car park and wasn't interested in a picture of her new child.  Ricky imitates a Northerner and Steve is angered by Karl's rudeness.
-If it was her first, I'd say "fair enough", but she's got loads of kids.


====Date====
====3. [[29 November 2003/Transcript#A Problem With Her Marrow|A Problem With Her Marrow]] ''(0:08:24)''====
Well yeah, I thought: "What's the point in spending time with her, spending money on her and stuff and then she's gonna die on me..."
Ricky went to see [[David Bowie]] in the week and it was brilliant.  Karl's doesn't attend gigs often and doesn't want the songs to be messed with when played live.  He took a girl to see ''Bottom'' in the '80s on a blind date, but the girl had a sickness so he didn't pursue the relationship.


====Parasites====
====4. [[29 November 2003/Transcript#Fella With A Maggot In His Head|Fella With A Maggot In His Head]] ''(0:13:54)''====
Oh no! There's a fella with a fish up his cock now!
Karl calls Ricky in the week whilst watching a programme about maggots inside people, and proceeds to recount the stories it included.  A look of frightendness. 


====Evolution====
====5. Whoever Gave 'Em the Necks! ''(0:21:00)''====
He said: "It's like giraffes. I read that giraffes grew their necks to eat." They didn't grow their necks to get the food, the ones that had upshots lived longer, and so got the food and passed on their... He went: "Yeah, but why didn't they just give em wings?" I went: "Why didn't ''who'' just give them wings?" He got angry and went: "Whoever gave em the necks!"
Karl reminded Ricky of what he taught him last week, about Ivan the Terrible gouging out a builder's eyes. Karl's annoyed that Ricky and Steve believe in Newton but not interesting facts he gives them.  Steve thinks all the things Karl teaches people are instantly forgotten.  Goldfishes memories are longer than people think they are. There are loads of Chinese people; if you put them in a line, you can't get to the end of it.  The world may end in 32 million years.  Ricky tried to come up with facts to interest Karl, including ones about an owl's eyes and giraffe's necks, which anger Karl. Steve compares Karl to someone with Alzheimer's. He reads from his [http://www.pilkipedia.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Isaac_Asimov%E2%80%99s_Book_of_Facts Asimov fact book] about baboons waiting tables and wants to know what they did next.  Peter the Great kept his wife's lover's head in a jar in her bedroom.


====Head-in-a-jar====
====6. Quite an Interesting Mind ''(0:28:18)''====
It's like you follow the subplot. Which is quite an interesting thing, you know what I mean? It's like... I tell you a story, you'll always pick up on something that I didn't even think was an important bit. It's like you always look out the window all the time.
A caller has some clarification on the man with the maggot in his head.  Steve further explains his Peter the Great fact to Karl. [[Karl's Dad|Karl's dad]] thinks he has common sense. Karl queries the importance of the Peter the Great story.  Ricky wants adverts.


====Karl's Film Quiz====
====7. Karl is a Really Good Actor ''(0:31:31)'' ====
"I just wanted to know if he thought Mr. Webfoot who's at number 42 should've took up swimming, but...."
[[Karl In A Film]] this week is [[Fan Animations#A Few Good Manc|''A Few Good Men'']], and Ricky has a compliment for him.  Steve reads off the prizes which include Ricky's "mediocre" stand-up DVD if you know who was at number 50 in Karl's book.


====Headlines====
====8. Don't Read the Sundays Tomorrow ''(0:37:10)''====
78 year old Chinese woman... well, she says she's 78...makes you wonder, with my theory...
An email about opening mail as treason.  Copies of [[The Office#Christmas Specials|The Office Christmas Specials]] got sent to the wrong person and the woman in possession might have sold the script to the Sundays. It's a good job Karl sends out the prizes. Ricky tries to explain Pandora's box to Karl. Karl's got this week's interesting headlines:
* Bong: "Man who walks backwards around lake falls in"
* Bong: "Chinese woman eats dirt"
* Bong: "Man lives in rubbish dump for ten years"
* Bong: "Czech family says they've got a rabbit with three nobs"
Steve has one more Asimov fact about WWII but Karl's not interested. Leonardo DaVinci could write with one hand and draw with the other at the same time.


====Demo's====
====9. Juke Box or Junk Box? ''(0:45:16)''====
It's weird though, innit, music? No, d'you know what I mean? It's like, it depends what you're doing. You know, I mean, that's alright if you're just having a game of Crib or whatever, it's just on in the background, eh, that's the thing with music, I don't think you can sort of slag any of it off, it's times, innit, it depends on what mood you're in and stuff, so eh...
Steve's been looking through the pigeonhole and decides to play out clips from a few bands who've sent them tracks.
* [http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.kellertonroad.com/ Kellerton Road] - ''Secretly''
* Toffee - ''Born Depressed''
* [http://www.discogs.com/artist/Picture+Center Picture Center] - ''Fireworks October 1990''
The second band has a cover with the band naked and Karl looks at the woman's nob.  Ricky's favourite is the third band but Karl's not that bothered about music.


====Babylonian====
====10. What's a Babylonian? ''(0:52:29)''====
-I've got another fact for you, Karl, that might be of interest to you, the final one: The ancient Babylonians had...
A listener wants to know [[Cess Ave|what school Karl went to]] so he doesn't send his kids to the same place.  [[Karl Look-alikes|Karl looks like Gollum]]. Ricky has a new way to squeeze Karl's head which includes a tea towel and a spatula. People from Baba. Karl's not interested in the fact about sick Babylonians sat in the city center and again brings up his weird facts. He's got one about a man who left his money to a theatre if they'd use his skull for ''Hamlet'' and about the albino inventor of 7-Up.  If Karl and [[Suzanne]] had kids, she'd teach them the proper stuff.  Karl has a solution to her wanting small people about.
<br>-Can I just stop you there? What's a Babylonian?


====Education====
====11. A Jumper for Pants''(1:02:14)''====
Well, Suzanne's always saying, you know, that she'd like to hear tiny feet running around the flat and stuff. I just said "Let's get a little midget cleaner."
Ricky's wound up because Karl has no [[Monkey News]]. [[Karl's Mam|His mam]] sent him something about monkey throwing in Lincolnshire as a memorial to a man who got attacked by a monkey.  Donna Air is going to let a gorilla look after her baby for a week.  A listener has a fact about Attila the Hun who cut off a man's arms and legs and stitched them back in the wrong places.
