4. Freaks (0:10:52)
Karl might be the one person who can outwit Derren Brown. Karl watched the film Freaks and gives his lukewarm review.

Karl would be more drawn to Steve than to one of the freaks. Steve slaps Karl.
5. Boo! Not Freakish Enough! (0:18:27)
Freaks was built up too much. Steve has always been honest with Karl, who looks stupid. When Steve came back from 3 weeks in LA, Karl was reminded of his weird looks. Ricky wants them to stop arguing, but is a stirrer. Extended discussion about the film. Future Olympic-style games of abled vs. disabled people. Cat replacement and sex change operations debated.
6. At the End of the Day, You Still Look Like a Fella (0:26:55)

7. Ahoy! (0:33:21)
At a certain age, you can nod at a copper, back in a van driver and tell if bitter has gone off. Steve's grandfather on the beach in a suit. Ricky in his pants or elasticated trousers. Has his tuxedo got velcro? Ricky and his sesame seed chest. Names you cannot call kids now. Karl's Uncle Alf who slept in a dinghy and had two tellies.
8. According to the Laws of the Sea (0:41:20)
Posh beardy twats climbing mountains. No need to get a cat out of a tree ("Get another one!") or bother with a cloned sheep who dies ("Clone another one!") Steve and his father in a boat. Karl's been thinking about better ways that money should be used, like inventions. Karl's never needed MC squared in his life. Cat mops. Is the telescope better than Rockbusters?
9. Tell Me More (0:50:17)
Ricky and Steve have Karl choose between proven modern inventions and some bizarre ones Steve reads from a catalogue. Protection from killer bees, pet petters, cheese-filtered cigarettes. Songs of Phrase answers but no time for Karl in a Film. Ricky ends the link with pseudo-proper DJ banter.
