Xfm figures have gone down because of the war, and Ricky wants to know how many listeners died in it. Afterwards the gang went out for drinks and some to Stringfellows. Ricky and Karl are perplexed. Karl makes an analogy and would want a namecheck from Newton if he'd been one of the giants upon whose shoulders Newton had stood. You can't have your cake and eat it unless it's a breast cake.

Karl's school diary was always about getting potatoes and bread. Hugh Fays. Karl's 13th birthday in which his mam had him go buy a cake. Stories Karl wrote as a kid always ended with him waking up from a dream. Karl's teachers had scams going on. Karl hasn't slept well since he was about 12. The time he laughed himself to sleep.
6. What Have You Got For Us, Karl? (0:28:53)
Ricky's mad because he thinks Karl hung up on an old man. The man is still there and how. Ricky reads off notes about listener calls but fails at that, to Steve's anger. Rockbusters prizes have improved and Ricky is in hysterics and Steve is giggling over the shambolic clues.
7. If It 'appens It 'appens (0:35:16)
Karl and Suzanne will have kids only if it's an accident. If you think about having kids, the negatives outweigh the positives. Karl looked into whether marriage saves money but it doesn't seem to. Suzanne would stay home with a kid but Karl doesn't like that idea. If they won a load of money, Suzanne would want to go to Egypt but Karl's already seen it on the telly. What would Karl do with £250,000? There's a gibbon for sale, and Ricky is angered by the idea of Donal McIntyre doing Cheap as Chimps.

Karl's got Monkey News about a monkey typing to some scientists but it turns out it was written on 1st April. Ricky, Steve and Karl are young, gifted and black.
Rockbusters
They're having problems; they haven't got any rice. C.C.
The Geordie fella doesn't know what he's been charged for. B.W.
If I had two bricks, and I had to throw them at two women; didn't hit any of 'em. M.M.
Quotes
Karl: You're not paid per listener.
Steve: It seems like it.
Karl: I just don't get it; you pay your £20, they dance in front of you but you're not allowed to touch. To me that's like going to a restaurant, ordering a nice big warm dinner and they put it in front of you but you can't eat it. It's going cold!
Ricky: I love songs you write when you're 14. You know, three chords and it's always stuff like 'There's a man/He's a lonely man/Take a look at him/He looks a bit like me/It is me'!
Karl: When you're a kid, I remember really loving going to bed. There was one time where I actually laughed myself to sleep, 'cause I couldn't believe me luck.
