Steve unsuccessfully spends hours trying to get the best price for a PS2. It’s a rainy day and Karl gets his trousers wet, he muses that it wouldn’t be a good day to die. He also tells Ricky and Steve an “interesting” fact about escalators on the London underground.

Steve gives us some early monkey news, Karl says the unlikely phrase “if you shave a tiger” and we learn what colour a polar bear is at night. Steve and Karl provide helpful hints if you’re planning on murdering someone.

Karl chucks sand at crabs while on holiday and the guys are annoyed by Americanisms used by English people.

Death

Steve: Karl what was it you told me as well when you came in? Just Karl's thought for the day. Karl what did you tell me when you came in? Coz it was miserable out... Karl: It is a grim day in London, erm... Ricky: (laughs) I like it already. Karl: I was thinkin, could you imagine dying today? Ricky: (laughs) Steve: Go on explain more though? Karl: Just because when you're dying you're always like in your bedroom in you're bed and... Ricky: Always. Karl: And you're family is next door... Ricky: Always yeah? Karl: And erm, I just thought can you imagine lying there lookin out your window, coz they do that as well, they sort of have the curtains open to get a bit of light on your face, and I just thought what a day, if this was like your last day, could you imagine? (pause) Ricky: XFM, 104.9. Steve: But then go on, you made an even more profound point. You said that instead of dying on a rainy day you'd prefer to... Karl: No, if you died on a bit of a nicer sunny day then it's not so bad. Ricky: (laughs) Karl: No, it's your last day lookin out on the world, and look at it, don't you agree? Ricky: Yeah. Steve: I thought that was a beautiful point, it was poetic almost. Ricky: It was, wasn't it. Steve: No the point was, what upset me was that you said you'd been thinking about that today on the way in and it upset you, my point was that if you think about the people that are dying any day it'll upset you, d'you see? Karl: Yeah but you don't think about it when it's sunny, coz you think well they'll be alright today, they won't be that annoyed. Ricky: Annoyed! Annoyed! Think of that! Oh I'm dying today..

Crabs

Ricky: What do expect out of a holiday Karl? What do you go for? Karl: Sort of soak up some of the culture... Ricky: (laughs) You liar, you liar. Steve: What did you learn about Barbados while you were there? Karl: Erm, a lot of crabs on the beach. Ricky: (laughs) I just imagine him sittin there with his knotted hankie on his head. Karl: You get bored on the beach, you're sat there, you look around and then I saw these crabs and I was watchin the way they move around and... Ricky: Yep, funny innit. Does that annoy you the way they move? Karl: No, I mean, it works for them. Ricky: (laughs) Steve: Good of you. Karl: But uh, it was just what I was weighing up is, they were quite close to the sea, so I was watchin the sea come in... Ricky: They like it close to the sea, don't they? Karl: Yeah, but they don't like it too close. Ricky: No. Karl: So like the sea was comin close to 'em and they would run towards me. Ricky: Yeah. Karl: So as the sea come in to them I was chuckin sand the other way and they didn't now where to go. Ricky: Really. Steve: How long did that keep you occupied for? Karl: The last three days I was there probably. Ricky: (laughs out loud)
