Steve: Gervais, looking at the cover of the News of the World today,
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: I'm shocked. I mean we all know, I mean how are you coping?
Ricky: Um, I'm,
Steve: How are you getting through the days?
Ricky: I'm in shock. I'm- I'm sort of pretending it hasn't happened, I'm playing a lot of the old records.
Steve: I know, I know, exactly that. Yeah uh... The Spice Girls are on the brink of splitting up,
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: Geri Halliwell has left the band, uh, rumour has it. But, even more worryingly, alright, uh apparently, the reason Geri left was that she was bullied out of the group by Scary Spice. Apparently Scary Spice, Mel B, is absolutely vicious. Lots of you know, lots of remarks about Geri...
Ricky: Oh dear.
Steve: Always sniping and going at her and uh,
Ricky: Well this must be...
Steve: Geri's left.
Ricky: Particularly close to your heart cos you were bullied at school by a popstar weren't you?
Steve: I was indeed.
Ricky: Who was that?
Steve: Lionel Richie.
Ricky: (laughing) Really?
Steve: Yeah. It was a nightmare. The thing was, uh, Lionel had just left The Commodores,
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: And he had a lot of pent up nervous energy, d'ya know? Which he just used to take out on me by-
Ricky: Take it out on you.
Steve: By pummelling me in the face.
Ricky: Because you, looked gimp.
Steve: Yeah. It was just annoying really.
Ricky: What year was this?
Steve: That was... must've been, ooh... '82?
Ricky: Well it must of- must of worked cos he was about to have like, um, big hit with Dancing on the Ceiling.
Steve: True enough.
Ricky: He would- hold on. He would've been flying high before that with Hello.
Steve: Well exactly that you see. The thing was, um, you know. He'd had a string of top ten hits,
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: I was about 14.
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: I didn't have, the chart credibility...
Ricky: No.
Steve: With which to fight back.
Ricky: To fight back.
Steve: D'you know what I mean? I mean often he would just be throwin' my satchel in the tree you know, uh, and singing "Hello. Is it (Ricky joins in) me your looking for?"
Ricky: What chance did you have against that?
Steve: How could I cope with that? You know. he's got a great singing voice. I haven't got soul.
Ricky: That is terrible.
Steve: You know, what can I say?
Ricky: That is terrible.
Steve: Umm. But you had a similar problem, didn't you?
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: Were you not bullied by a band?
Ricky: That was before- I'm older than you. This was about 20 years ago when I was a kid at school.
Steve: Really.
Ricky: And uh, I was bullied by a whole band.
Steve: You were bullied by a whole band?
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: Who?
Ricky: Hanson.
Steve: ...Well, they're bastards.
Ricky giggles

Steve: Wha-
Ricky: Shut up, no, forget it! Right it's after the um, ad break,
Steve: Jamie and his magic torch.
Ricky: Yeah I remember that.
Steve sighs
Ricky: Yeah. I remember that... what's that little kid in the comics, had a magic... pipes. He'd go past an ad of like, a women eating a cream bun and the cream bun would come to life. You know what I mean, now at 14 you'd be getting different material wouldn't he, to bring to life. Don't you remember him, he was in a comic book.

Super Slick On The Mic
Ricky: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Gomez. Yeah.
Steve: I have-

Steve: I have finally figured out what on earth you were waffling on about just a second ago.
Ricky: What.
Steve: Pillsbury Dough,
Ricky: Yeah?
Steve: Right you just- Pillsbury Dough, "Nuh nuh this is wha-". Apparently, I have managed- I'm talking to the listeners Gervais,
Ricky: Go on then.
Steve: Not yourself. Apparently Pillsbury Dough right, it's an ad from years ago,

Ricky: Yeah?
Steve: And he comes on, and a woman presses his belly,
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: And he makes a noise or something?
Ricky: Yeah! That's what I said.
Steve: Well you didn't say that at all!
Ricky: Why?
Steve: You didn't explain it. See when I want to explain something alright Gervais, what I do is I think "What do I need to say,
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: "How can I best express it, which words shall I use and in what order."
Ricky: Yeah?
Steve: When you want to express something you just just go, "WORDS."
Ricky laughs
Steve: "WORDS. WORDS. STOP. WORDS. Oh, ANNOYED. ANNOYED. WORDS." D'you know what I mean, it's just gobbledegook Gervais.
Ricky: I was excited about remembering Pillsbury Dough!
Steve: Yeah but you- you must not let your excitement-
Ricky: I couldn't believe you're so stupid and sheltered not to have heard of him!
Steve: You must not let your excitement, right, undermine your use of grammar. Do you understand me Gervais, it's not an excuse.
Ricky: Or- or motor... se- sense... sensibili-
Steve: Anything. Alright? Just think-
Ricky: ...sensibili... bleurghhh...
Steve: Think before you speak.
Ricky: Why?
Steve: Please think before you speak.
Ricky: I'm a DJ.
Steve: Think before you speak.
Ricky: Where would I get if I did that? Um... and, someone here says- "And". Starting off with "And"!
Steve: Never start a sentence with "And" or "Because" Gervais!
Ricky laughs
Steve: Everybody knows that.
Ricky: Ohh I no-
Steve: Never start a sentence with "And" or "Because".
Ricky: Uh Mandy from Chingford wants to know if I remember a program called Billy Liar. Of course I do you see, and you probably don't.
Steve: A program called Billy Liar?
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: Rubbish! That's never existed!
Ricky: You've embarrassed yourself again.
Steve: No there's a fi- I, I admit there's a film and a play and a book...
Ricky: Happy birthday Charlotte. No, Catherine. It's from Charlotte, she's 20.
Steve: Yeah, man! You're super slick on the mic! Oh yes sirree Gervais.
Ricky: Get me another one, get me another one. Cos the thing is if you stop drinking you start going a bit... mad.
Steve: ... Can we... Can we get the margaritas in here please, Nick?
Ricky: Oh I had a margarita yesterday. Sitting outside a little restaurant in Camden, had a margarita.
Steve: I went to a party, I was on the margaritas. I saw one of them the next day actually, she was a lovely girl.
Ricky: (laughing) No, you can't do jokes like that. What were we talking about before that though?
Steve: Play a record Gervais.
Song: Drugstore - Sober
Were You Crawling?
Ricky: Drugstore - Sober, on XFM 104.9, London's only alternative.
Steve: Yeah. It's interesting that you say that sentence every time we've finished playing a record.
Ricky: I've learnt it.
Steve: Cos it's the only thing you've memorised isn't it.
Ricky: Exactly yeah.
Steve: You can actually say that and get from beginning to the end without sort of, keeling over, or something.
Ricky: You take a deep breath.
Steve: Yeah, taking another swig. You should see him preparing... to come out of a record, (breathes deeply) "Alright... XFM, 104.9..." And off you go. It's beautiful Gervais.
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: Absolutely gorgeous. Uh, walking along umm, the other night towards your house on that route, that direct route from XFM... walking along,
Ricky: Zen line.
Steve: Very short fella, walking alongside me, and you know sometimes your eyes meet with these people, I saw his face,
Ricky: What were you doing, crawling?
Steve laughs
Ricky: How short are we talking?
Steve: He's a short man.
Ricky: 4 foot?
Steve: 3 or 4 feet?
Ricky: Really?
Steve: Yeah.
Ricky: Ok.
Steve: Carrying a big bag, I saw his face, it looked- you ima- you know those people that look as though their face has been stapled together?
Ricky: (laughs) Yeah.
Steve: He was one of those sort of people.
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: And so his face was very odd I mean you know I don't want to sort of, it's a bit like the pot calling the kettle black.
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: D'you know what I mean?
Ricky: He was short and ugly, you're tall and ugly.
Steve: Exactly. He was a... he was a weird looking fella.
Ricky: Worse than you?
Steve: He looks up at me Gervais, he looks up at me and he says uh, "Can I jump on your back?"
Ricky: (laughs) Really?
Steve: Absolutely what he said. Can you believe that, "Can I jump on your back?" What was I gonna say, it was ridiculous! He- "Can I jump on your back?" And I don't know what his plan- once he'd got up there I'm not sure what his plan of action was gonna be, I dunno what he was thinking.
Ricky: Fight a much taller man.
Steve: Yeah. Anyway so he says that, and I say, "Well no you can't." And he says "Oh go on, let me you big c-u-n-t."
Ricky: Did he?
Steve: That's what he said! "Oh go on, let me." I mean it's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.
Ricky: Like that was gonna convince you.
Steve: I know!
Ricky: Like at first sight, "Oh no I won't." "Oh go on you big cu-" "Oh go on then."
Steve: Yeah, "Alright."
Ricky: That's lovely.
Steve: "As you asked so sweetly."
Ricky: What if he'd have been a short, ugly woman who'd had her face stapled together?
Steve: Well, I'd have let her jump up.
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: Well she might have needed to get somewhere quick you know, and I- those kind of opportunities, it would just be ungentlemanly if I didn't-
Ricky: She might have needed a ride.
Steve: She might have needed a ride.
Song: Portishead - Numb

Steve: Well it's Happy Hour Gervais.
Ricky: Again.
Steve: No it's just called Happy Hour. Don't embarrass yourself you swine.
Ricky: Why did you play that then, that was your choice for today, go on.
Steve: Well I'll tell you why I played that, it reminds me of a girl.
Ricky laughs
Steve: No seriously,
Ricky: (laughs) Yeah go on.
Steve: No it does!
Ricky: Where's the punchline?
Steve: There is no punchline.
Ricky: What, you went out with a girl?
Steve: Yeah.
Ricky: (laughing) No you didn't!
Steve: Yes!
Ricky: You didn't!
Steve: Yes!
Ricky: Go on.
Steve: And we played that song quite a lot.
Ricky: Really?
Steve: Don't mo- don't ju- you know.
Ricky: Go on.
Steve: She was- this is absolutely true, she was very odd... um...
Ricky: 'Course she was!
Steve: She used to... she used to decide everything...
Ricky: Yeah...
Steve: Via the paper.
Ricky: Go on.
Steve: She would write out- she would tear a piece of paper in half and she would write you know, "Yes" or "No" like, a question to herself might-
Ricky: You know she had two "No"s in her hand don't you?
Steve: Her question might have been...
Ricky: Every night she had two "No"s. (laughs)
Steve: Her question might have been, "Shall we go down the supermarket? Yes and no." You know and she'd choose one at random, "No", won't go down the supermarket. She might have you know, "Shall I buy a new hat?"
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: She might have. "Yes, No" oh, choose the paper, "No." And uh yeah just a bit odd. Just a bit weird. And no, that is exactly how uh, it all finished.
Ricky: Really?
Steve: Yeah she did- she wrote, you know... she made a dec- the question she asked herself was-
Ricky: Is this true by the way?
Steve: This is absolutely true.
Ricky: Go on.
Steve: The question she asked herself was, "Shall I carry on going out with Steve?"
Ricky: Right.
Steve: Piece of paper, "Yes, No"... "No."
Ricky: phew
Steve: Do you know what I mean, that's quite a tragic story.
Ricky: She had 30 goes.
Steve: ...Best out of 3 she kept saying.
Ricky: (laughs) Yeah.
Steve: That is absolutely true.
Ricky: That is tragic, no I mean that really is quite tragic.
Steve: Do you think so?
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: It makes me a love martyr don't you think?
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: Wouldn't you say?
Ricky: It's so much like, cos you can put it down to like, fate and luck now as opposed to the you know...
Steve: Yeah. It was the gods.
Ricky: It wasn't your fault. Well if you're listening this was your tune. This is The Delgados - Everything Goes Around

Ricky: Go on.
Steve: I'm... you know I'm very impressed,
Ricky: Yep.
Steve: The work you've been doing, you've obviously put a lot of effort into that.
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: That little sort of... that little quiz there. I'm most impressed Gervais, what can I say?
Ricky: Good.
Steve: But I'm a little bit worried...
Ricky: Go on.
Steve: It seems to me that a lot of your humour is based around swearing and then just sort of bleeping out the swearwords. D'you know what I mean, it just seems a bit juvenile.
Ricky: Well it is juvenile, yeah.
Steve: Yeah.
Ricky: I mean that's the point, it's juvenile and it's silly and it's not particularly clever but, um, it is f*cking funny.
Steve: (laughs) What? Umm... What did you say then?
Ricky: I'm just saying, you're right, it is juvenile and childish but it is f*cking funny isn't it and that's the important thing.
Steve: How did you- how did you do that- how did you, is it some kind of wind up?
Ricky: Do what?
Steve: You're swearing,
Ricky: Yeah?
Steve: And it's being bleeped out!
Ricky: Of course it is, it's radio!
Steve: Yeah but this is live.
Ricky: Yeah..?
Steve: Well how are you doing it then?
Ricky: I don't know!
Steve: Well you must know!
Ricky: ... I dunno!
Steve: Is it a wind up? Is this some...
Ricky: Well I dunno.
Steve: This is live, Gervais.
Ricky: Yeah, course it's f*cking live. XFM 104.9, London's only f*ckin' alternative.
Steve: Well can I swear? If I swear will it do the same?
Ricky: Well I dunno it's your... take your chance it's your neck on the line.
Steve: Um... (clears throat) Big hairy... dog's... cock?
Ricky: Steve, be careful, man!
Steve: Wh-
Ricky: You can't go around saying big hairy dog's c*ck!
Steve: Well you can!
Ricky: If you swear again Steve, umm, serious, I'll be annoyed cos you'll make me look like a w*nker. This is Radiohead and Black Star.
Steve: How are you doing this?
Ricky: I don't know...
Song: Radiohead - Black Star
Competition Answers
Ricky: Radiohead and Black Star. On XFM 104.9 it's the Ricky Gervais Show
Steve: But does-
Ricky: We've had a competition.
Steve: Does- does the bleeping, happen in the pub?
Ricky: 'Course it doesn't!
Steve: Wh-
Ricky: You can say what you want live, can't ya? In a pub.
Steve: I'm just a bit confused
Ricky: I know. Well you're easily confused.
Steve: There's a competition winner, you'll be pleased to know,
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: Dinesh D'Silva, from Wimbledon has won those three CDs and can I just say they're already winging their way to him as we speak,
Ricky: Yeah. Probably-
Steve: I can say that,
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: Absolute nonsense.
Ricky: They're probably outside on the table. You've lost the bit of paper.
Steve: Yup.
Ricky: And that... that excuse for a producer.
Steve: You'll be very surprised if those CDs ever make it to Wimbledon.
Ricky: (laughing) Yeah, I'll be honest. Yeah.
Steve: Uhh Gervais, I've- you know, it's been great. We've enjoyed ourselves.
Ricky: What was the film clip then?
Steve: Oh the film, of course! We didn't even give it away. It was Terminator 2.
Ricky: Of course it was. The classic scene when the uh, T uh, 1000, puts the big sword through the uh, lift and Linda Hamilton goes "What was that?", Arnie explains, as he did there.
Steve: That was a fantastic clip there from the film and hopefully another film quiz next week. Perhaps-
Ricky: We've got another one, yeah.
Steve: Gervais.
Ricky: Yeah.
Steve: And I must say that the film quiz thing is very popular at the moment. A lot of people are very excited by that.
Ricky: We've got an ad break coming up.
Steve: Have we?
Ricky: and then a classic from Placebo, yeah?
Steve: Placebo? I'd rather have one from Pulp.
Ricky: ... We'll play both.
Steve: Brilliant.
Song: Pulp - Do You Remember The First Time?
Labour MP Attacked by Strange Freak
Ricky: Do You Remember The First Time?
Steve: Gervais, if er- Gervais if I phoned up Labour HQ and said I'm willing to pledge £100, do you think Mo Mowlam would go out with me?
Ricky: (laughs)
Steve: I mean would she be obliged to, is that how it works?
Ricky: You could be her "Beau Mowlam"!
Steve: (laughing) Well, true enough, those will be the headlines: XFM's Steve is "Beau Mowlam".
Ricky: Not "Beauty and the Beast"?
Steve: Well, don't start slagging her off.
Ricky: Or "Labour MP attacked by strange freak".
Steve: Don't start slagging her off.
