Track Listing

1. The King of Rock (0:00:00)

Ian Camfield, "The King of Rock", stands in for Karl, who is on holiday in Lanzarote. Ricky Gervais wants the "four pillars of rock and the king who stands astride them".

2. Ricky's flatulence (0:03:06)

Stephen Merchant talks about Ricky's flatulence "problem". He doesn't like spending time in the toilet as he may miss out on some funny conversation, so he goes as little as possible. His farts make Steve's eyes "bleed". Camfield declares his first pillar of rock as Lemmy.

3. "What are your thoughts on Xfm?" (0:06:06)

Steve questions Camfield on his feelings on Xfm as a whole, to which he replies "it's not quite Magic".

4. Brown's Bidet (0:12:03)

Steve talks about his visit from Derren Brown, and the fact that he's got a bidet. He says "I've never got my head around it", to which Ricky replies "you're not meant to". The three of them spend a good five minutes discussing bidets.

5. Chinese gay fellas (0:17:47)

Ricky comes to the realisation that there are a billion people in China, and one-in-ten people are homosexual. Ipso facto, there are a hundred million little gay Chinamen and Chinawomen.

6. The Christmas con (0:22:38)

Steve retells the story of how distraught he was when he bought a PlayStation 2 for £20 more than another shop was charging. He then goes on to tell us a new story of how he was conned by some aggressive teenage girls who said they were doing a sponsorship for no reason apparent to Stephen. He fobbed them off with £3.
