Ricky intros the show, including that Karl is fed up with [[Do We Need 'Em?]] and giving that up. Ricky's got a new feature idea in which people will call up and have Karl solve their problems.  Ricky and Steve give Karl stick for last week's [[Rockbusters]] snafu, and Ricky's got some fictional scenarios for Karl to solve, both of which involve stuck penises.  Karl's used to freaks, and they reminisce once again about the two lads with big heads and webbed hands. Karl's read about a woman whose head was so big she couldn't hold it up, so the doctors took it off to chip off some bone, then put it back on.

Ricky was a latecomer to Nick Cave.  Steve's got some exciting news, but before that, more [[Karl vs. Steve]] banter.  He's been nominated as one of the 50 Most Eligible Bachelors in ''Company Magazine'', fulfilling an earlier [http://www.pilkipedia.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=01_December_2001#2._Steve_Merchant_Wants_A_Wife_.280:01:37.29 fantasy of his]. He's angry that his prize won't be as good as whoever won last year.  Ricky is incredulous.

Ricky's got a new idea for a feature with Karl called [[Chimpanzee That]].  In the meantime, email in with problems for Karl to solve. How would Karl deal with teenage tearaways?  Karl's got a story about when he broke a car window and pretended to go to sleep to avoid getting caught, and also avoided his dad for fear of punishment.  Then he shares about one night as a kid when [[Karl's Brother|his brother]] had a load of women around and Karl got to keep his tractor in the house to stay out of their way.  Karl's parents had to move because girls kept claiming Mark was the father of their children.

<br>''So he called them up and said 'Alright - Mr Pilkington here. Bought a bed off you, you conned me but forget that. We've dealt with that...'.''
It's time for [[Rockbusters]] and it's a roll-over prize week, but Karl hasn't added much. Ricky's sets him off on his atrocious but legendary ''Only Fools and Horses'' role plays.  Sort of.

Ricky's made Karl a bishop's hat out of a cardboard box and a wig out of bubble wrap during the songs.  Ricky's got a jingle for the new feature and Karl's got a story about a monkey who got caught having a fag who got sent to prison.  Karl has stumped people with Rockbusters.

<br>''Yeah, but according to Heat, I was 22nd most sexy man in the world...''
Karl reckons there is more going on in space than just us.  He's was thinking in the week: will the world ever get too heavy, with all the stuff we add to it?  (A question which comes up again [http://www.pilkipedia.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Podcast_Series_2#Episode_3 later]).  Steve and Ricky recount their version of the Legend of Atlantis for Karl, and Ricky's got a solution to the heavy world problem. Listener Jay writes in for help: he wants to be a dancer but his parents are trying to marry him off and keep him in school. Karl's OK with arranged marriage and used to want to be a dancer himself but got over it. Ricky is driven to frustration in learning the full story of Karl's pathetic attempt at this as a kid.

Ricky's got another new idea, which is something like [[They Think They're Good But They're Not That Good]].  Karl's not impressed by da Vinci because Tony Hart can paint an "aborigian" and an elephant in 3 minutes.  He gives his (brief) thoughts on Newton, Gandhi, Brunel, Christ, and Richard Branson. Stephen manages to say "you know" 7 times in 20 seconds while explaining Gandhi. [[Suzanne]] wants to see the pyramids but Karl can't be bothered.  He just likes the odd little thing, like (incorrectly) learning the origin of name of "Lego".

One listener wants to know where [[Richard Anderson]] is, and another has a fetish for how Ricky says [http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Winnersh,+Wokingham,+UK&sa=X&oi=map&ct=title Winnersh]. More Lego chat including the proper etymology.  Does Karl think it's OK for a tall woman to date a "little fella"?  Karl's got a correction from last week as he got the museum worker's name wrong but he can't remember her real name now.  There have been very few right answers this week to Rockbusters.
