There's loads of stuff to come, and all the records. Steve's been house-hunting but what has Ricky himself planned? Ricky has a text from Ross Noble telling him to ask Karl what he would do if he awoke with ladies boobs. Karl claims if you go to Argentina and have a steak, you can wake up with breasts. Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather.

2. Selling a Futon (0:02:16)

Ricky bigs up the show to come and also Educating Ricky. Karl complains of the stresses of moving house, leading to him offering a table and futon to the listeners for £100.

Steve runs through the prizes for Rockbusters including, David Attenborough's "Life Of Birds" video, best of David Bowie CD compilation, a "Madness" DVD, a "Country Legends" compilation and this week's big DVD giveaway ... "Hellraiser".

4. I'm Not a Doctor or Anything (0:14:53)

Superstars is coming back on TV, and Karl instigates this week's discussion about Celebrity Fit Club. The "Bod Pod" measures body fat and Rik Waller has 60% body fat.

5. Meet Richard Anderson (0:20:05)

This week's Educating Ricky headlines are Don't Worry About Him - He Candle It, I'm Kermitted To This Treatment, and The Police Are Causing A Bit Of A Stare.

Steve reads out the first email sent by Richard Anderson.

6. Let's Look Through This Rubbish (0:24:52)

Xfm's a funny word. Steve and Ricky return to the e-mail after the break. Karl sympathises with Anderson, saying that the show is hard to listen to.

7. Doin an O.B. (0:30:00)

Karl rejects as they will "make a mess", "make loads of noise" annoying the woman downstairs and the "parking is really bad downstairs" culminating in Karl "not getting his deposit back". Karl wonders if that's how Graceland started, as it was Elvis' normal house at one point. Karl gives the Rockbusters clues amongst laughing.

8. Have You Heard The News Toad Day (0:36:02)

Ricky choses the 2nd Educating Ricky headline and Karl explains the origins of the expression "frog in your throat".

10. Tap Their Eye With a Pen (0:46:40)

Ricky's put an elastic band around Karl's head, and info is coming in about the frog in the throat etymology. Educating Ricky finishes up with Karl's explanation of a man who was thought to be drunk but he only had a glass eye. Steve's going to email Richard Anderson to tell him he agrees. Songs With a Story this week is Lola by The Kinks.

11. Ban Gulls (0:48:14)
