Ricky and Steve remind the listeners who Karl is by asking a few difficult questions such as “What age are you?”. They also describe some of the freakish kids Karl went to school with.

Karl tells a ridiculous story about a doctor and some parrots, explains the derivation of the phrase “Throwing the baby out with the bath water” and comes up with a new feature called “What’s the Song”.

Ricky and Steve are not impressed with Karl’s new quiz, even more so when a caller claims he ripped off the idea from Simon Mayo. Steve is sceptical about Ricky taking up boxing and reminds him that he once almost choked to death on some dust.
