Track Listing

Nothing To Give Away


Because Ricky and Steve have been taking the mickey out of the tickets they are given as prizes, it was decided to "hold them back" this time. Chuffed at being punished for their subversive behavior, they attempt a high five, but fail because of their height difference.

Steve Merchant Wants A Wife


Company magazine are compiling a 50 most eligible bachelors feature, and Steve reckons he fits all the requirements to be on that list. It also brings him to tell Ricky and Karl about an idea for a TV show he's had ever since watching a trailer for The Farmer Wants a Wife [1], aptly called Steve Merchant Wants A Wife, where the public votes who will become Steve's wife. Steve doesn't mind, because "(he'll) have anything, whatever they can choose".

Christmas Telly


Steve relates about his luck with the ladies walking back from the shops the other night, when a 50-ish year old woman in a kind of rhinestone cowboy type outfit tried to beckon him. He did carry two cans of weak lager at the time. Although tempted, in the end he decides to leg it. They discuss the Christmas TV supplements papers give away, and agree they bring them out too early, so that about half of the listings are "to be confirmed". Also some rubbish talk about the difference between concerts, concertos and concertinas.

Pipes Are Dying Out


The conversation starts off with some banter about obsolete musical instruments, followed by Steve's failure to recognize Bruce Dickinson [2] in a sandwich shop. Steve regrets the demise of pipe smoking, and calls for anyone listening under the age of 30 who smokes a pipe regularly to contact the show. They discuss the possibility of the cape making a comeback as a fashion accessory. Karl disses the cape due to its lack of pockets.
New feature: That Film Sounds Good: Across 110th Street - Bobby Womack

Rocky Soundtrack


Steve embarrasses Ricky on air by disclosing he did boxing training during the week listening to the Rocky [3] soundtrack. Karl manages to play a snippet of Eye of the Tiger [4], which Ricky misses initially, due to the fact that he hardly ever wears his headphones.

Bowler Hats and Giants


Ricky's afraid he is losing his street cred after admitting he bought a The Light Funky Ones CD. Some more banter about sutff dying out, this time the disappearance of the bowler hat. Karl admits he once did wear a trilby. Somehow, this conversation leads to them talking about the reason why the Jolly Green Giant [5] is so jolly. Apparently, it's to do with the size of his knob. All this talk about giants has Karl wondering about their diet, "How they actually got that big in the first place".
Under The Covers: Lloyd Cole - Chelsea Hotel

We're Featured Up


The talk is about words that should be rude but aren't. It looks like a nice idea for a new feature if it wasn't for the fact that they're "featured up".

Pop Idols


The first time they discuss Rik Waller and his size on an XFM show, even though his name is not mentioned. They list other "fatties" who have been in the charts: Demis Roussos, Alison Moyet and Geri Halliwell.

Insensitive Pop Stars


Film Review - My Left Foot


Sir Cliff And The Wrinklies


Karl's Protected


Quotes

Karl: Well...like, when you're born, you're a little baby, you're wrinkly and stuff, when you get older you sort of morph into a baby again,
Steve: I remember the days when Karl didn't even want to be on the air, I remember the days when he was told by the establishment that he wasn't allowed to talk on the air, and now, it's like, as far as he's concerned, he's a third member of the team
