Ricky intros the show, including that Karl is fed up with [[Do We Need 'Em?]] and giving that up. Ricky's got a new feature idea in which people will call up and have Karl solve their problems.  Ricky and Steve give Karl stick for last week's [[Rockbusters]] snafu, and Ricky's got some fictional scenarios for Karl to solve, both of which involve stuck penises.  Karl's used to freaks, and they reminisce once again about the two lads with big heads and webbed hands. Karl's read about a woman whose head was so big she couldn't hold it up, so the doctors took it off to chip off some bone, then put it back on.
