2 to 1 was a one-time feature that aired 15 December 2001, based off of the Channel 4 TV quiz show, "15 to 1". Listeners were asked to e-mail or phone in questions that Ricky and Steve would try to answer. However, quarrels between the duo coupled with Karl's inability to remember the questions and answers made the feature largely unsuccessful.

Questions included:

  • "Who was the 1st James Bond?" - Ricky and Steve argued after agreeing that the wrong answer (Sean Connery or Bob Holness) could count as right. Both answers of Sean Connery and Bob Holness are actually incorrect as Barry Nelson portrayed Bond for an episode of American television show "Climax!" before either Connery or Holness became 007.
  • "What's the food with no calories?" - Ricky got it right (celery) but Steve thought it didn't count because Karl didn't read it properly.
  • "What semi-precious stone does the Pope wear?" - Karl bungled the question, then forgot the answer, Jonathan Ross claimed it was topaz, and finally Karl couldn't pronounce the correct answer when he found it (amethyst).
  • "What is the most expensive pub in London?" - Ricky got it right (The Punch & Judy), finally ending the game.

Later more questions were e-mailed in, and were of much better quality. Steve was grateful that the game was over because he didn't know any of the answers to the questions.
