Line 1: Line 1:
The Darkness--Growing on Me. Best rock band since Thin Lizzy. So says R. Gervais.
{{Template:Infobox_Xfm_Series_2}}
Ricky reads a survey--Mancunians take more sick days than anyone else in the UK.
Karl takes a shot at the Liverpudlians. Something about thieving? How many computers are gonna go missing? ...so says the K-Man.
Got a girl at your flat on a friday night? Karl says, "Stick the telly on"  Sexy songs are rubbish.
"Please welcome to the stage, RESTLESS DIESEL!" They're playing tonite locally...won't see them opening for U2 at Wembley though.
Back from a song....Karl has another go at Steve about being sick at his parents' house in Bristol with tonsilitis. Ricky--The piss taken! we're like three blokes in a pub!
Karl....London is making him ill, he's not sleeping. "If I dropped down dead tonight, I'd love it"
Steve--"Rick don't take this the wrong way, he's (Gary Kemp) aged better than you"
and then--"what old times did you have with Gary Kemp?"
Karl then has an opening about Steve's looks and he takes it. Of course, to Ricky's amusement.
Steve comments about MTV ads which are absolutely drivel. 40-somethings trying to make adverts that are cool. "Isabella's 17, she has a tattoo, she's wild she's crazy....etc. she doesn't smoke cigarettes!"  Rubbish. Ricky mimicing mum: "I'd rather she smoked! She now has a spider's web on her face for the rest of her life!"
There used to be an advert apparently (Charlie says?) where a cat gave kids advice, so there's talk about that. Karl recalls ("maybe these adverts GIVE you ideas") when he and his mates faked an abduction in Wales, after seeing one of the adverts, and of course the mom went mental thinking her son was gone. "She was maybe screaming a little bit an' that"
Another Karl childhood story .... on the beach. Mum gave Karl a balloon. But then the problem--loads of kids also had balloons. Bin that idea.
Steve then recalls a balloon story. In Bristol on New Year's eve, he had a balloon, and the girls came up to him ("hey yeah, maybe a little new year's kiss"), and said, "we've arranged to meet BACK at you, cause we can see you from anywhere." Of course Steve got no party invite, and watched them go off in a cab.
An emailer gives his pre-emptive Rockbusters answers before the cryptic clues are even given. Brilliant.
Taking the radio show on the road dies a quick death. What was that band playing tonight? We could have them on. Someone from Big Brother 2...
Steve reads this week's prizes now. And now Rockbusters--after a bit of Blur.
They decide to do Educating Ricky instead of Rockbusters--"OOOHHH, you've told me! Educating Ricky" is the jingle. Sounds familiar. Same people do the jingle.
Mount Everest. There's a littering/rubbish problem up there. Whoever is in charge of the mountain is not happy. And do you know how they named it? When you get to the top you need to HAVE A REST....EV-E-REST.
But that wasn't even the educating Ricky part. Karl read about cryogenics recently and they discuss it. Walt Disney apparently is cryogenically frozen, e.g.
Karl wonders what would become of him and Suzanne if he was suspended for 40 years. Would he have to stay with Suzanne--cause she'd be 70! It's not fair is it?
"They're never gonna find a cure for what ails you" says Steve.
Steve then recounts the Biblical King Solomon story about the women arguing over the baby.
Karl reads the rockbusters clues again.
1.All the police cars are on fire--BS
2.The director of "28 days later" is shouting about sleeping outside--DB
3. He wants to be a sailor. why is that.--B
Ricky quizzes Karl--what towns DID you like?
Karl doesnt like NYC, Paris, Venice, ANYWHERE
"That was 'wish you were here' with Karl Pilkington!"
Then we find out--
Karl's family isn't even living in Manchester anymore.
Ricky--"That's just ONE family, who loved Manchester!"
World record for breaking wind....Auntie Nora didn't get in the Guinness book of world records because neither Norris nor Ross McWhirter witnessed it, to make it official. "I'll be there in a bit, get the windows open" said Karl's Dad
Split tennis ball...we've covered that, says Karl.
Rockbusters answers coming up. "There ya go, someone's got it" says Karl


BS--"I can think of something" says Steve
==Track Listing==

Karl then has a brain teaser for ricky and steve. The girl at the funeral story who fancies the good looking lad. Why did the girl kill her own sister?
 
It's a proper Psych test. Answer--She figures she would get another chance to meet the guy again at the funeral of her sister. Psychotics/killers get the right answer most times to this riddle.
====4. She Doesn't Smoke Cigarettes ''(0:12:40)''====
"well, you wasted three minutes trying to balance a pear on me head!" but you're not happy with THAT test...says karl to ricky
Radiohead - good, innit.  Steve saw an advert he's not sure is actually going to work on teenagers.  Billy Bragg, Mick Hucknell and Rock the Vote. Steve was unnerved by Charley Says, and Karl thinks they just gave kids ideas.  When he was a kid he and some mates put a lad in a wardrobe and told his mum he was missing.  Once [[Karl's Mam|Karl's mam]] gave him a balloon to keep track of him on a beach, until all the other mothers got the same idea.  [[We've Arranged to Meet Back at You at Midnight|Teenager Steve at New Year's]] and the girls who wanted to meet back at him at midnight.  No party invite, but he did have a balloon.  Can that hoe D.A. see Tupac?

"As ever Karl, this is an arbitrary email. We're basing it on the ramblings of one of our listeners"
====5. Hello Bournemouth! ''(0:21:17)''====
People do not want Rockbusters. Listener James guesses before the clues are given: No Van Ear, Kid Creosote and Hairy Seek'em.  Ricky suggests doing a road show but as he's not keen to leave W1, let's just do it outside the building.  [[Rockbusters]] prizes include The Best Air Guitar Album and an old Only Fools and Horses.  Karl gives up and won't bother with Rockbusters. 
 
====6. Mt. 'ave-a-Rest ''(0:25:40)''====
Listener Phil could do with the Rockbusters prizes for additional tat for his upcoming car boot sale.  [[Educating Ricky]] this week is about how people are leaving rubbish on Mt. Everest.  Karl discovers cryogenic freezing.  If Karl were frozen now and reanimated in 40 years, would he have to stay with [[Suzanne]], who'd be 70?  Walt Disney and Plug. 
 
====7. Pilkington Avenue ''(0:32:42:40)''====
Ricky and Steve are intolerant of Karl's whinging about his one job ("they have loads of jobs").  Karl's trying to get out of London, and Ricky recommends selling his flat and buying a Manchester street. Ricky tells the story of King Solomon deciding which of two women is the mother of a baby.  It's not a very good solution.
 
====8. Wish You Were Here, with Karl Pilkington ''(0:36:48)''====

====9. That's One Family Who Love Manchester ''(0:41:29)''====
All of Karl's family moved away from Manchester.  [[Karl's Brother|His brother]] joined the army, [[Karl's Sister|his sister]] lives in Ireland.  The world record for farting was 2:45 minutes, but [[Auntie Nora]] [[Auntie Nora Has Wind for Five Minutes|beat that]]. [[Karl's Dad|Karl's dad]] went round to make sure she was OK but asked her to open the windows first.  Nora has ice cream tubs in the fridge of old mashed-up food, and doesn't answer the phone in case it's a burglar.  Someone's answer to the Rockbusters clues is 1.I 2.Don't 3.Care. Karl reads the proper answers and give a shout-out to the winner, Joe in Catford.
 
====10. Proof I'm Not a Psychopath ''(0:47:55)''====
Karl's been to Greece.  In Turkey there were little midgets in the kitchen hassling Suzanne.  In Edinburgh he saw a traffic warden putting a ticket on some bin bags.  Bath is old and you can just visit once.  Brighton has a lot of gay people.  Karl's got a psychological test to do on Steve.
 
====11. Good at Weighing Up the Situation  ''(0:53:17)''====
