==Track Listing==


1. '''Interactive'''
====1. '''Bit of a Blow at the Sonys''' ''(0:00:00)''====
<br>''Some of the criticism we received was that we're perhaps not taking the listeners into consideration. A lot of radio shows cater to the community. I'd just like to justify why we don't tend to interact with the listeners - here's a typical e-mail from Vicky, aged 25. She asks 'Do you ski?'''
Nothing won at the Sonys. Ricky intros the show and their new efforts. Steve reads out an email from a listener who wants to know if Ricky skis.

2. '''Foxy'''
====3. '''You Can Have Your Cake and Eat Tit''' ''(0:05:35)'' ====

Their show is up 34% and Ricky wants to know if they're getting a pay raise.  Ricky attended a presenter's meeting to annoy Karl. 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.

3. '''Lapdance'''
''The reason why'' <br>
<br>''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 resteraunt, ordering a nice big warm dinner and they put it in front of you but you can't eat it. It's going cold!''
''The reason why''<br>
''The reason why I had to die''<br>
''Did I bleed the blood of greed?''<br>

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]].
