Steve opens the show by boasting that he thinks a woman pinched his arse on the way to the studio. Karl has a similar story; on the way in, a homeless person called him a "dickhead".
Ricky begins a quest for a great boxing nickname for his upcoming celebrity fight and appeals to the listeners for suggestions. Karl wonders what the point of Ricky's endeavour is, if he isn't considering a career in boxing.
Karl describes his experience as a child with the Crusaders, a religious youth organisation. On Fridays he'd go because they'd have Subbuteo and Table Tennis, but the Sunday bible study session was like a "totally different club". With no Table Tennis and no Subbuteo, he stopped going on Sundays and would hide when the "head fella" would come to his house, looking for him. Steve asks if the "head fella" was God.
Karl beleives he's running out of material for Educating Ricky, because in the few weeks they've been doing it, he's covered a lot already. He did read a story on the internet about an eight year old child in America who still breast feeds and insists Ricky tell him what he'd do about it. When Ricky turns the question around, Karl says that he'd suggest the mother "put it in a bowl" for him. Ricky and Steve wonder where on the internet Karl finds this stuff. Karl says he just searched "Why", in an attempt to confuse the computer.
Rockbusters includes the classic "Wet-knee Houston" clue that Ricky will refer to for years to come.
The show also includes Karl's musing that 'you never see an old man eating a Twix', which is received with a mixture of delight and horror by Ricky and Steve.
