The last show they ever did on XFM before moving on to podcasting. Karl is upset that the show has to end early as Ricky has to go introduce REM at Live 8. Surprisingly the whinging Manc isn’t a fan of Live8 and won’t be going as he doesn’t like crowds.

Steve talks about his recent DJ’ing exploits at a wedding and Karl gets confused about the Amish. The K-man wonders which religion would suit him best and recalls an encounter with a Hare Krishna.

The guys announce the winner of their big prize giveaway but Karl is concerned about how he’s going to get them all the way to Edinburgh. He starts telling Monkey News but gives up and sticks on Bruce Springfield as the lads say their goodbyes.

Live 8

Steve: Big day Karl though innit, you know there's lots going on and I know that Karl's, it's very important for him that he champions Live 8. Karl: Oh I don't know what's going on, I don't know what, I am sick of it to be honest. Ricky & Steve: (snigger) Steve: Sick of what? Karl: Just sick of reading about it, sick of this Live 8 thing, sick of it all. Ricky: Brilliant. Karl: Fed up with it. Ricky: But what annoys you particularly? Karl: It's not only that today though is it, on the way in today, right, saw a gay fella on a bike. Ricky: (sniggers) Is that weird? Karl: On a bike rushing, what time did the gay march start, what time did they have to be there? Steve: Why you looking at me, I don't know. Ricky: (laughs) Karl: No but he was rushing, he'd left it late so he'd had a late night again, so my point's right about them. Ricky: What, what was your point, just for people who've just tuned in. Karl: Well the fact that they go out late, so you know they sort of have a nice night out from about half past eleven. Ricky & Steve: (snigger) Karl: They're ironing their jeans at like half past ten. Ricky: (laughs) Ironing their jeans! Their leather trousers, they're cutting the back out of their leather trousers about half ten at night. Steve: (laughs) Karl: On the way in right and I see one stressed out rushing, right, on a racer, wearing high heels. Ricky: (laughs) Oh I love you, he's fifties dad isn't he. Steve: (laughs) I know. Ricky: He's angry, he's just angry. Steve: If you're a gay fella and your proud to be gay but you also want to make poverty history, you don't know what to do today do you, you're racing all over the place, must be murder, seems a bit unfortunate that they've put them on the same day. Ricky: Yeah, we'll you can get little leather studded wristbands that say "make poverty history", so you know, you can join in on both parts. Steve: Yeah, you can kill two birds with one stone. Ricky: Yeah. Steve: But why is Live 8 stressing you out, it's for a good cause, you must have, I know we've discussed this in the past and you don't really know what you're talking about. Karl: I mean maybe that's the problem, I'm just, I mean I dunno, I could have told them ages ago that there was no way that they were gonna pay it back, I knew that was gonna happen. Ricky & Steve: (laugh) Ricky: I love that, that they didn't consult you did they, when they were handing out this money willy nilly to people who were dying you could've had a quiet word with them, you could've said to Harold Wilson "Harold, you're not gonna get this back mate, you are not gonna get this back mate". Karl: Obvious, obvious, when I wanted a mortgage I had to supply 3 wage slips is what I'm saying. Steve: (laughs) Karl: I was double checked out loads of times. Ricky: (laughs) Steve: I would like to see, have you ever seen that guy Alvin Hall who gives financial advice to perhaps teenagers who don't know how to spend their money wisely. Ricky: Oh right. Steve: Perhaps like to send him over there, he's the guy with the bow tie. Ricky: Oh yeah, yeah. Steve: I'd like to send him over there, have a chat with them and say "make a list of what you're spending it on". Ricky: So he's basically, will you be annoyed if they drop all debt and double aid and everything. Karl: No, I mean because you know people sometimes need help n' that, don't they, you've gotta help people out but it's how many times is the thing, you know what I mean, let them off but do I, I've got this monthly payment at the moment haven't I. Ricky: Yeah. Karl: I'm paying for tools for people out there who need a drill to build a house or whatever, am I now in my right to say "well you can't have it all, d'you want the drill or do you want the debt cancelled?", this is what I'm saying, you know I'm all happy to help people out. Ricky: D'you think they're taking us for a mug, is that what you're thinking? Karl: Well we'll see won't we, time will tell, you know what I mean, if next year at the same time Geldoff's putting on another gig i'll go "what's going on now?" Ricky & Steve: (laugh)
