Joins Previous show mid-conversation...

Ricky: We don’t know…

Steve: Yeah, The problem with me is it’s like when you multiply anything with naught.

DJ1 and Ricky Laugh

DJ1: To the power of as well…

Steve: Nothing ever happens.

DJ1: Yeah, okay shame.

Ricky: And I’m a fat little ugly fella like that Reg Varney.

DJ2: Were there loads of people there that you don’t like and you could go up to afterwards and almost like metaphorically flip the bird?

Ricky: What’s that mean?

DJ2: Last week…you know “Flip the Bird”.

Ricky: You dirty…No.

DJ2: Middle finger.

Ricky: And you see I’m married, Steve’s single and he doesn’t…

DJ2: No what are you talking about…and there’s lots of people there…

Ricky: I thought it was a euphemism…sorry.

DJ2: …Who you haven’t got on with in the past, and then they’re all being really nice to you…

Steve: We got on with everyone don’t we?

Ricky: What does “Flip the bird” mean?

DJ2: Flip the bird means……you’ve got that hipster thing.

Steve: The finger, it means giving the finger.

Ricky: Yeah but I thought there was a dirty metaphor.

DJ2: No!

Steve: You’re always thinking this!

DJ2: Don’t bring me down to your level till at least 5 minutes…Coming up after the break we’ve got Steve and Ricky and the lovely Claire will be driving their desk. Alright Claire?

Claire: Hello!

DJ2: Don’t bend over like that Claire.

Claire: Sorry!

DJ2: Put a longer top on or something. You alright boys, you your very studious there.

Ricky: Just working out what we’re gonna play Dermot and what order!

DJ2 Laughs

Ricky: Ummm

DJ2: I love the way you even live the pretence.

DJ1: What about some Foo Fighters mixed with The Strokes, Ricky?

Ricky: I wouldn’t mind a bit of The Strokes or New Order, what shall we kick in with?

Steve: Err undecided yet Rick probably got some ads to err to help us decide.

DJ2: That dilemma.

Steve: Some advertising.

DJ2: That dilemma will be revealed in just under four minutes, stick around for it.

Steve: Merry Christmas Dermot.
