Karl is annoyed that all he’s getting for Xmas from XFM is two CD’s. He chats about sex education at school and announces that he’s off on holiday again next week, this time to Lanzarote.

Steve can’t understand the popularity of “Lord of the Rings” and gets annoyed about people thinking Gollum is funny. There’s more chat about Ricky’s early fashion sense including his cowboy boots and leather jacket with painted acid house face.

Ricky wonders how many words there are in the English language and Karl appears in the film “Scrooge”. This week’s “Monkey News” involves a monkey on a plane.

The News

Steve: Karl, you were gonna do some news. Karl: If you want, like I say there hasn't been that much going on, there's a story about a fella who hasn't eaten for 70 years. Steve & Ricky: (laugh) Steve: Right, he hasn't eaten, is that all the information you're gonna give us? Karl: Yeah, hasn't eaten for 70 years, hasn't had a drink but he's alright. Steve: (laughs) Ricky: That's rubbish then, next. Karl: It's not rubbish. Ricky: Yeah it is, yeah, next, well how is that, how is a man not eaten or drunk for 70 years? Karl: It's that thing innit, your belly gets used to it or somethin. Ricky: (laughs out loud) Steve, has he misinterpreted it or is it rubbish? Steve: Well, to be honest with you it doesn't actually offer any explanation, it just says that's what happened. Ricky: That's rubbish, next. Karl: A woman's had 6 organs transplanted, woman needed a new kidney, a new heart, a new stomach, a new liver, a new kidney, intestines. Steve: Does that mean she's the same woman? Ricky: (laughs) Yeah. Karl: You'd just say forget it, wouldn't you? Ricky: (laughs out loud) Steve: Yeah. Karl: Wouldn't you though? Ricky: Well not really, you know, the organ is just a lump of tissue. Karl: If you're that knackered, call it a day, don't waste time witht that. Ricky: Yeah, good, good advice.
