Xfm: Season 1 Volume 1

Features

"Then the new stuff comes in, as always I like to get words and tweak them - there's a lot of weird rituals, there's weird stuff going on round the world. And I was gonna tweak that to 'Rick-tuals'..."

Prizes

"It's just one of those things where I think 'What Xfm listener would want this particular goodie bag?' So, yeah, if you'd like Geri Halliwell's 'Body Yoga' video, that's one of the treats we're giving away..."

Presents

"Let me just tell you first why I didn't go all out on the old present front. First of all, I've covered it up since then, that present, 'cos I bought her some shoes yesterday and she did say 'I'll give you the money for them' but when we got home I said 'It's alright. You can have them.' "

Girlfriend

"How ungrateful. What an ungrateful woman that is. Fancy not wanting a box of economy condoms from Boots!"

Rockbusters

"I'd better warn people, you've got to get into the mindset of Karl here. These are not real cryptic clues. There's usually something wrong with them. He's usually completely changed the word to make it fit."

Fun

"This is a terrible thing to say and I apologise - I can't think of the PC term for it but I think Karl is slightly retarded. Could we get ourselves registered as a charity?"

Octopus

"I love the fact that Karl can confuse a scientist. All systems of logic break down, even the scientist is going 'Aww...Get rid of Limpits...' "

War

"What do you mean you read the first line where you get enough information?! Imagine if you were someone's defence lawyer! And he's on death row and you're like 'Well I don't think he did it. I read the first line...' "

Stress

"In the New Year the idea was to come up with some good, snappy stuff. And today I think it's been a mess with you, to be honest..."

Rickydiculous

"...the honeybadger has got skin so loose that if you grabbed it by the neck it could come away from it's skin, turn around and bite you out of its anus!"
