Episodes: |
Track Listing
1. It's Ten Past Four
Ricky does a very professional, comprehensible link.
2. Singing The Praises Of Penk
Steve asks Ricky about him allegedly signing autographs, which Ricky did whilst at an Xfm 'roadshow' in a Dr. Martens shop. He signed at least 30 or 40. Gary Crowley, who was also there, apparently looks like a spotty shop assistant. Ricky tells a joke, they're only allowed to tell one a show lest they become like Steve Penk, not that there's anything wrong with Penk.
3. Why Should I Stay?
Steve gives us a reason to stay tuned - an upcoming movie quiz! Two more fake adverts, one for Brainmangle and their new single Blood, Sweat and Cum and one for Fuck Like a Rhino by Velvet Nazi 666 UK.
4. Is Ricky Gervais A Very Good DJ?
They talk about the impending split of The Spice Girls and rumours of Geri leaving following bullying from Scary Spice. Steve was also bullied by a pop star at school - Lionel Ritchie. Apparently the 14 year old Steve had no chance against a man with a string of top ten hits. Amazingly Ricky had a similar experience, being bullied at school by a whole band - Hanson. The bastards. A skit plays advertising a helpline where upset Spice Girls fans can call Ricky to help them cope with Ginger's departure. An example of such a call is played, it inevitably ends in Ricky discussing mucky photos.
5. After The Advert There'll Be Another Break
Another innocuous link, followed by an advert for Muff Shandy's "Earplugs are Gay".
6. D'you Know Terry Wise?
Steve doesn't remember Pillsbury Dough, Ricky asks people to call in to inform Steve of his twatitude, Steve promises a reference to stump Gervais, but struggles. Was the Pillsbury Doughboy a toy? No! Though Ricky does play with his food. Steve conjures up Jamie and His Magic Torch, but Ricky's heard of it. Ricky rambles on like an old incoherent drunk, Steve asks if he's on crack. Another sketch advertising some new toiletries - "Panderers with Aloe Bahaha Groovy Caring Stuff" which can be used as a 'clunge protector' for your granddad.
7. Super Slick On The Mic
Steve has figured out what Pillsbury Dough meant, and explains what the advert was for those who could not understand Ricky's nonsense. Steve explains how he communicates using thought and careful word selection, unlike Ricky who just goes "words, words, words, stop, words, words, annoyed, annoyed, words". They argue about Gervais' excitement undermining his speech. He should never start a sentence with 'and' or 'because'. A listener ask does Ricky remember a show called Billy Liar, and he does except Steve points out there was no such programme but does remember the film, the play and the book of the same name. Ricky demands booze and Steve asks for margaritas. Ricky was on the margaritas the night before, as was Steve, in what turns out to be a filthy innuendo.
8. Were You Crawling?
Ricky has a very limited set of DJ patter. Steve recounts an anecdote about a very short man with a face that looked stapled together that he encountered on the way to Ricky's house. When the little man asks for a ride on Steve's back, Steve said no and encountered some hostility. If it had been a little woman however, he might have been more accommodating.
9. Steve Made Me Do It
Ricky introduces some ads, then The Housemartins.
10. You Know She Had Two Nos
Steve explains that he chose The Housemartins track because it reminded him of a girl he used to go out with. The girl was quite odd, obviously. She used to decide things by selecting random pieces of paper with different answers on. Should I carry on going out with Steve? No.
11. Xfm Ginger Helpline
12. Ricky Lists What is Coming
13. Competition Time!
The gang play a clip from a classic movie and discuss Ricky's constant swearing and how Ricky's swearing is magically being bleeped out live!
14. Competition Answers
15. Labour MP Attacked by Strange Freak
Also includes advert for Tony Buddabing's Easy Metal.
16. I Wish I Could Beep Him Out
Ricky and Steve hang around for the start of Lawrie Hallett's show.
Quotes
Steve: See when I want to explain something alright, Gervais, what I do is, I think 'What do I need to say, how can I best express it, which words shall I use and in what order ... When you want to express something you just go 'Words, words, words, words - stop. Words, words, oh, annoyed, annoyed, words..' D'you know what I mean? It's just gobbledygook, Gervais!
Trivia
Steve was incorrect in his claim there was no such programme as Billy Liar.
