Track Listing

Annoyed

-Fancy that, I had to go to [the] Capital [radio] library to get a couple of records I wanted, right, place is falling apart, the e-mail's not working, it's so shoddy. He's had two weeks off - "oooh, holiday", I mean, really, they might as well bulldoze this, honestly. We get paid peanuts...
-You get paid, do you?

Holiday

Your criteria are so basic, it's weird. Hotel? Yes. Roof? Good. Food? Adequate. Beach? Clean. Next!

Nude

But when I saw him, and I thought: "Well, right, is he doing it to sort of be free and be comfy and all that?" And then I thought: "But he's carrying a big bag, I've got a pair of shorts on", and I'm not looking at him, thinking "pfff, I bet he's really comfy..." D'you know what I mean, I wasn't going: "I can't wait to get home and get me shorts off, they're really annoying me..."

Ideas

-Do you remember 'Big Brother'?
-yeah...Do I remember 'Big Brother'(?) No, go on!
-'Big Mother', right? You call in, if your mum's heavy you win a CD.

Bob

Let's just clarify a couple of rules here, Karl, let's make sure we thought everything through. Cos I'm pretty certain when they get these things on TV, they at least have a go at them in the office first, before they put them straight on air, I'm sure that's how it works. I'm sure Bob Holness just didn't turn up the first day and he goes: "Oh, we'll wing it, it'll be fine. Bring the students in, let's have a go."

Silence

-right, right, get people on the air now...
-No Rick, calm down.
-Play a record then! Do something! For Christ sake!

Rockbusters

You're tuned to XFM 104.9, Karl Pilkingtons quiz 'Rockbusters'. The format is still available to the highest bidder, please give us a call, or you could e-mail on ricky-dot-gervais-at-xfm-dot-co-dot-uk...

Abduction

-It turned out, he got home, and he said to his wife, or his girlfriend: "It's a bit weird. I just got out of the car to look at a bright light, and I got back in the car and I grew a beard!" and she said: "Never mind your beard, where've you been for three days?" And what had happened, is...
-He passed out, cos he was pissed?
-No...

Educating

-How is that alongside 'Hanging Bacon'? Alien abduction, a hairy chinese kid and a little interesting fact about the derivation of a phrase?
-....What d'you mean?
-He didn't understand a word of that. Play a record. I knew the word derivation was gonna cause problems. I thought: "Derivation shouldn't have come out!"

Stories

-Yeah! yeah! Good one! You couldn't fade it out, could you? Cos you'd go: "Oh, what happened?" And that's what I'm saying. Not just any sort of pop song that keeps repeating itself, and it's like it doesn't matter if it skips or, you know what I mean, if you turn the radio off. But I'm talking about songs...
-"Ernie, the fastest milkman in the West."

Sequel

-There's a whole other sort of section.
-Maybe we should change this section: "Abridged versions of songs..."
-No, next week, we'll play the second bit then. It'd be like, eh, 'Star Wars' or something like that. Brilliant!

Recap

Well, it's been a good show, hasn't it? There's been like some sort of Rock 'n Roll 70's feel to it. Mainly the equipment, but we got through it.

Auntie Nora

Passing wind, farting, for five minutes. Not like, you know, trumping and then nothing...Continuous.

Cheers

-Next week though, we'll have more 'Educating Ricky', we'll do the quiz, 'Rockbusters', do that again.
-Right, I might not be here, if that's the case.
