Notable parts of the program are:

Kazoo-tijd/ Stuk-ijzer-in-je-bek-tijd (Kazoo Time - Piece-of-iron-in-your-Mouth-time) edit

The second time of presentation (after 3/4 tracks) Michiel and Gerard start playing on their kazoo's. The 2 guys go talk about their "wild adventures" last week. The track the 2 playing kazoo over was David Schnitter - And So They Say.

The voicelift edit

Gerard and Michiel played a part of a voice recording of a Dutch celebrity whose voice was electronically distorted. Listeners can call to the studio with a solution. As a gimmick, Dutch television presenter Ron Brandsteder was usually called by the first caller. Veenstra then takes a look down the hallway if it was really Ron Brandsteder and Ekdom plays a jingle of the typical laughter of Brandsteder (which sounds much like someone in severe respiratory problems). In the 20 February 2009 show, Michiel almost had a heart attack when he opened the door and found Ron's son Rick Brandsteder on the doorstep. On 17 December 2010 Michiel again got a big shock when the real Ron Brandsteder burst into the studio.

Uit Het Raam (out of the window) edit

In this section an object was thrown out of the window, usually by the guest. Part of this was to call security (Sjanne Paul) and the initial part of the song Breathe where Sean Paul raps his name several times was played, they have to make sure no one walks around the building when this happens. Since January 2011, this segment also has a 'decibel ranking', the louder the bang, the higher the guest ends up in the ranking.

Vijf Vragen (five questions) edit

If there's a guest in the show, he or she may choose five questions out of a list of fifty. The guest doesn't know the question behind that number in advance. The questions that are thus asked to the guest are usually quite difficult or personal, but the guest does actually construct his or her own interview.

Het Geheime woord (The secret word) edit

Listeners can send their text messages at the moment the 'secret word'-jingle will be played. When a listener was chosen, he or she receives the secret word off-air. Then a friend or relative of the listener is called. When they pick up the phone, the contestant has to describe the secret word, without actually saying it or mentioning they are on national radio. When the other person guesses the word, instantly the James Last version of the "Too Fat Polka (She's too fat for me)" is played, while the entire studio goes crazy. Hammering things with trashcan lids or forming a conga line to celebrate the correct answer. At last the prizes the contestant wins are revealed. When the provided relatives or friends can't be reached, Fabienne de Vries was called. She's usually helpful to the contestant and almost always gets the right word.

The End edit

On November 1, 2013, Ekdom and Veenstra broadcast an announcement that on December 13 of that year, the show will end because "it has not been pretty" and the DJs wanted to stop at the peak of the show. At the same time, the 3fm.nl website announced that the successor will be a program that will be presented by Timur Perlin.^[7]

The penultimate broadcast on 6 December was called the 'Ekstra Weekend Experience' a tribute to the listeners, some of whom featured in the broadcast were given a tour of the studio, and could participate in Uit Het Raam and throw something out the window.^[8]

In the last broadcast, Gerard threw his old stereo out the window, which he in his own words said as a teenager he had listened to Rob Stenders and Jeroen van Inkel and he had kept all this time.
