Ricky is still a bit drunk from the previous nights boozing session and finds it difficult to talk. Luckily Karl comes to the rescue and announces that he’s improved last weeks new features, this weeks star prize is “Children of the Corn”.

Ricky has a chance meeting with a shoplifter who’d just nicked some Office dvds from HMV and Karl reveals which animal would manage to get his brain to Glasgow.

Karl does the first proper Rockbusters, dispels a myth about worms that no one had really heard of anyway and watch out for shadows in Boston.

What's tomato with you?

Karl: Right so the second one, part two of "Educating Ricky", "what's tomato with you", what this one's about is, ages ago... Ricky & Steve: (laugh) Ricky: Scientific. Steve: There's never a date, there's never a country. Ricky: (laughs) Yeah I love the attention to detail, okay settle down children this is A level history right... Steve: Once upon a time. Ricky: Yeah, in a mental place with swords there was a king, forget his name but he was a looney and it was literally ages ago, so good luck in the exam. Karl: Right, so like, alright, many years ago. Ricky: Oh yeah, cleared that up. Karl: They thought tomatoes were poisonous. Ricky & Steve: (laugh) Steve: Okay. Ricky: Hold on, are they gonna be proved wrong at the end of this story? Coz I don't want to give away the ending but is it something to do with, are they poisonous tomatoes? Karl: No. Ricky: Oh your havin a laugh. Steve: (laughs) I don't believe it, I could've been eating tomatoes all this time. Ricky: (laughs out loud) Oh Steve what's tomato with you anyway? Steve: (laughs) Okay so wait a minute, let's recap quickly, many years ago when people thought tomatoes were poisonous. Karl: They didn't know they were poisonous then coz they were still eatin 'em. Steve: But they're not. Ricky: But they're not poisonous. Karl: Ah but hang on a minute. Steve: I'm just gonna listen, I'm not even gonna talk now. Ricky: No, I'm not gonna talk anymore. Karl: So if you remember, they didn't have like pottery plates, they had lead plates. Ricky: What are you talking about! What year is this? Steve: Just let him talk. Ricky: Go on. Karl: Plates made outta lead and what they'd end up doing, they'd say "d'you want a tomato?", and they'd go "yeah alright", and they'd put the tomato on the lead plate and cut it and because of the acid in the tomato, right, it would sort of make the lead runny and the lead would go into the tomato and they'd say "oh it's lovely this", and they'd be eating it, they'd get food poisoning, lead poisoning, what have you, and they'd be really ill. So they thought tomatoes were poisonous so they didn't eat them for many years. Steve: And when you say they do you mean the people of Narnia? Where was this happening? Karl: Eh, sort of in Britain n' that. Ricky: (laughs out loud) You put him on the spot there, oh I hope there's no uppity pupils at this school when they go "what d'you mean sir?", "well if ur gonna, oh i'm fed up with you". Karl: D'you understand? Ricky: No! First of all Karl where did you get this information from? Karl: D'you know I don't know where I got that from, I don't know where I got it from, but why don't you think that makes sense? Ricky: But what, someone once got lead poisoning from a tomato? Karl: Not just one, loads. Ricky: (laughs) Why is this educating me? Karl: Because I'm tellin you that tomatoes... Ricky: But I can't take anything away from this, I don't know what to take away from this, what have I learnt? Don't mix lead with tomatoes? Why is this educational in any shape or form? What are you tellin me, a long time ago in the land of Glunk, where the ninnies did slib, they thought tomatoes were poisonous because they ate plates of lead. What are you talking about! Karl : Yeah but we all know tomatoes aren't poisonous. Ricky and Steve: (laugh out loud) Steve: Is that what we're taking from the story? Ricky: Is that the moral of the story, don't believe these people that I'd never heard of before, what are you talking about Karl? Karl: I think it's a bit weird. Ricky: (laughs) It is a bit weird yeah. Steve: Is this the same people who were spreadong those malicious worm rumours. Ricky: (laughs ou loud) My hangover's coming back, I gotta get some water, play a record that was rubbish.

Shadow

Steve: So yeah any ideas guys, any questions, sort of DJ Shadow related questions, any shadow or dj questions, Karl any ideas? Ricky: What does the word dj mean? Steve: (laughs) Yeah. Karl: No that's too easy, i'll tell you something I do know right. Ricky: Go on. Karl: I can't really get a question out of it. Ricky: Go on, just tell us. Karl: There's a shadow somewhere. Ricky & Steve: (laugh out loud) Ricky: It's already good isn't it! Steve: I'm lovin it already. Karl: There's a shadow, I think it was in America and it's on a quiet road, I'm guessin somewhere like Boston is what I imagine. Ricky: Well don't. Karl: Somewhere like Boston and people at night used to see this shadow moving about and they'd go "what's that?", right, and it got known the town, the little local town got known for this shadow but it didn't cause any problems. Ricky: What are you talking about? Steve: (laughs) You've lost me. Karl: D'you know how some places get famous like Scotland's got the Loch Ness Monster n' that but it doesn't cause any problems. Ricky: It doesn't exist but go on. Karl: So there's this shadow walking about on the road. Ricky: What d'you mean? Again rubbish, nonsense. Where did you read this, where did you see this? Karl: It was walking about, it was on the internet. Ricky: Oh sorry! Sorry! I thought it was shite, I didn't know it was on the internet. Karl: Right so this shadow was moving about. Steve: Independantly of an object. Karl: Yeah, and the local mayor n' that he's like "yeah it's a bit weird but it's not harming anyone". Ricky & Steve: (laugh out loud) Ricky: The mayor involved! Steve: Was he elected to that post? Ricky: "Hey mayor, we got a problem down here, seems like a shadow", "well it's not causing any problems". Steve: (laughs) It's not causing any problems. Karl: But that's the thing it was left for years and then it did start causing problems. Steve: I see that's it, if you leave these shadows to go unchecked Rick they go crazy. Ricky: (laughs out loud) Yeah. Steve: You let them run amok in the city, you've got to stamp down on roaming shadows. Ricky: What did the shadow do? Karl: It was pushing people off their bikes Ricky: (laughs out loud) Steve: It was doing what? Karl: It was pushing people off their bikes. Ricky: (laughs) Oh god! Karl: I'll find out more for that next week, right that'll tease 'em. Ricky: (laughs) Oh you're a maniac.
