Ricky: Well, here we are again. Xfm on a Saturday, just gone one o'clock Steve, if I'm very much mistaken, but we're not here, as such, we're away again, gallivanting around, erm, we've gotta do a special sort of 'Best of' again.

Steve: Okay.

Ricky: Which we did a few weeks ago, so this is the best of the last three weeks...

Steve laughs

Ricky: Which I think is, I mean I think it's the best three weeks we've ever had. But I'd like it condensed into two hours.

Steve: Yeah, some great music as well in there?

Ricky: Yeah, there'll be some great music, interspersed with fine chat, that you've already heard.

Steve: Yeah.

Ricky: Except this bit, this bit's new. We've actually, out of the kindness of our heart, we've come in, erm, we've come in last week.

Steve: Yep... yep.

Ricky: ...and we've done a few clips. Just cos we felt a bit guilty about shooting off and leaving...

Steve: I mean even now, having heard this link, I'm beginning to wonder if it was worth our time.

Ricky: Oh dear.

Steve: Xfm 104.9, Ricky Gervais show with Steve Merchant, hello there, and we're not here this week, we're off jetting around the world, so we've pre-recorded these links, the time is currently somewhere between 1 and 3 o'clock.

Ricky: So, a timecheck there from Steve Merchant.

Steve: No problem.

Ricky: Yeah and oh, what- what about this weather, isn't it warm – stroke – edit that Karl – cold, okay, whichever one.

Steve: I'm pleased to see that the congestion charge has had some considerable effect/had no effect.

Steve: I enjoyed it.

Ricky: Do you remember that?

Steve: I...yeah...

Ricky: Yeah, well...few weeks ago weren't it really, I mean...

Steve: I think it was last week.

Ricky: We'd have to have very, very bad memories, not to remember that hilarious clip, I'd like to hear that again maybe in a couple weeks time when I'm away.

Steve: Yes, absolutely.

Ricky: This is embarrassing isn't it. I mean, you know... but then you know the good thing is, on telly I feel a bit guilty about putting out shoddy rubbish cos I'm getting paid an awful lot.

Steve: Yes.

Ricky: But, here, you know, I don't, I don't give a sh*t. They can bleep that.

Steve: They will do, they will do.
