Monkey Business

Karl: Familiar with the phrase "Monkey Business"? Ricky: (laughs out loud) No, never heard that one before Karl, that's brilliant. Karl: Right well it came about, this has been emailed in and I haven't really had the chance to look at it so I'm just weighing it up now. Ricky: (laughs) God, this is a complete shambles on air, innit, really. Steve: I'm ashamed of it. Ricky: I mean what was Dr Fox, Dr Fox must have been really polite, he must have been thinking I don't know how to put this, he must've wanted to scream and go "you shouldn't been in the radio authority". Steve: My parents listen online, I can't look them in the eye. Ricky: (laughs) Karl: Right, I think i've weighed it up. Ricky: (laughs out loud) Karl: A long time ago right. Ricky: Yeah, the olden days, yeah. Karl: In the Amazon jungle, right, little family of monkeys in there, right, havin a good life, right, didn't have any predators in there, right, so they were lovin it, they had a load of food around and they had loads of banana trees, right. Ricky: No, I don't think so. Steve: No, they did. Ricky: Sorry, yeah. Karl: Everything's going great so they're happy n' that, they go to bed... Steve: (laughs) Okay. Karl: Wake up in the morning, load of bananas gone. Steve: Oh, hang on, interesting. Ricky: Hold on, wait a minute. Steve: Either your dad's been around or... Karl: This isn't the Great Amazon Banana Robbery is it? Ricky: So anyway turns out it was another load of monkeys from another part of the island, from the rough bit. Ricky: (laughs out loud) From the rough bit! From the rough bit! I love it, they wandered into a middle class area. Steve: They were the ones with the earrings and leather jackets. Ricky: (laughs) That is brilliant, from a rough part of the island. Karl: So the monkeys thought there's no point getting into a fight with them coz they're harder than we are. Steve: Yeah, of course, and they carry chains. Ricky: (laughs) I love all this conjecture. Steve: They've got flick knives and tattoos. Ricky: Yeah, go on. Karl: So basically they said "let's do some business with the bananas". Steve: Let's do some business with the bananas? Ricky: (laughs out loud) This is such shit! Steve: What are you talking about! Ricky: (laughs out loud) Oh for Christ's sake! Steve: Right calm down, we haven't got much time left. Ricky: Oh god, what d'you mean! Karl: Forget it, forget it. Steve: NO, KARL, DO NOT PRESS THAT, SWITCH THE RECORD OFF! SWITCH THE RECORD OFF KARL! Ricky: Oh Christ, what are you talking about! What did they do? Steve: Let's do business with the bananas. Karl: So they said well rather than them coming robbin them, we'll flog 'em, so that put a stop to it then, the monkeys came, they didn't have money, they said "give us some bananas", and it says here... Steve: So they exchanged bananas for bananas? Karl: For berries and nuts, so that's where the phrase "Monkey Business" comes from. Steve: (laughs) No it's not! Karl: It comes from a little business they set up. Ricky: Right, play a record, that's the end of that as well, that is a shame, that's the end of Rockbusters and Monkey News, well done, you've done it in one show.
