1. One Day I Hope To Sleep With A Lady (0:00:00)

Karl suggests a Stereophonics track to start off the show but is shot down by Ricky and Steve. Karl and Steve talk about the mobile discos they had in their teenage years. Steve reveals that his was first called "The Rock & Roll DJ's" but then became the "Fantasy Island Road Show." He then tells of the time he DJ'd a scout jamboree and caused quite a commotion when he played "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and Rage Against the Machine. Ricky suggests that this was probably the highlight of Steve's life.

2. How Many Calculators Do You Need? (0:05:41)

Ricky talks about the time he stole records from his brother-in-law and was then taught a valuable lesson by his mum. This prompts Karl to tell about the time when a misunderstanding caused him to needlessly confess to some childhood thievery.

3. Well, It's Pretty Sad But She Was 101 After All (0:11:25)

Steve reads out the Xfm policy on what to do in case of a big event, like the death of a royal, etc. Ricky reminisces about the first time he had ever been on radio, hosting a phone-in show. Then Ricky and Steve dissect the filthy lyrics of Luther Vandross in the song Never Too Much.

4. My Name Is Bond, James Bond (0:18:05)

Ricky and Steve get Karl to do impressions of Sean Connery and Roger Moore. The BAFTA's are a day away and Steve has decided to take Karl. Karl is upset to learn that he will have to pretend to be Steve's gay lover in order to get in.

5. It's Alright (0:28:38)

Karl extensively reviews the last track and Ricky plays some adverts.

6. In Progress... (0:28:51)

Karl then reads the three lateral thinking puzzles he came up with.

Quotes

Ricky: If I want anyone's opinion... I don't.

Karl: But why come to London if you’re, if you’re, blind? It’s the worst place in the world to come if you’re blind.
Ricky: To hear the sights.

Luther Vandross: Woke up today / looked at your picture just to get me started
Ricky: That’s filthy! Play it again.

Ricky (on Karl): It’s like having your very own Fisher Price toy, two hours a week!
