The Request Box Problem
It all started in April/May of 2005. Jonny and Team Yeah were baffled by the deluge of spoof requests for airplay on Kooba Radio. Someone was submitting hundreds of fake bands with fake song names through the website's Request Box. It was becoming a problem!
Luckily, they found it amusing and it became a staple part of the show. Listeners would tune in each week to hear Jonny and the others read out requests like...
Christmas Dribble - Chickenfucker
Myra Hindley - She Was A Backseat Driver
Forgetting Who I've Slept With - She Meant My Sister
Turding On Cinerella - Why My Dog Didnt Do Barbie
Cat Litter Tray - Oven Baked Lasagne
Felatio For Desmond - Slipping Standards
Horse Pipes - Wanking In The Mirror
Shitting Biscuits - Ten Ton Bastard
The man responsible had now been dubbed "The Request Box Problem" or "RBP" for short. After a while RBP ran out of steam so he turned to other ways of tormenting the good people of Kooba. Here's a example of the creepy shit he started sending...

Chilling.
So, more and more of these sound files arrived and we began to accuse various listeners and members of bands. The list of accused was long
Blabbermouth
Babbsy from Chet
Ricky Ricardo
On Air Myles
Babbsy From Chet
Denny
Nathan Persad
Chuckles The Clown
Justin The Fink Finkelstein

Eventually Alex invited RBP (by email) to the 100th show. He then received the following scary serial-killer-style postcard at Redwire HQ.

On the day of the 100th show we were worried that RBP wasn't present among the members of the audience. Then, little post-it notes started appearing in strange places. The posted notes had "RBP" written on them.
Here's a scan from some toilet roll in Orange & Blue's bathroom.

There was an RBP post-it on every third Sheet!
So, finally the suspects were all in one room. The following link is a clip from the 100th show. It includes a re-cap of the request box problem, some accusations and then the moment when The Request Box Problem revealed himself!

So is that it from The Request Box Problem? Well, he infiltrated Jonny's house so I would imagine that we will be hearing more from him…
