"Inside Out Night" was the fourth of Radiohead's webcasts, airing on December 18th 2002, and celebrating finishing most of the recording for Hail to the Thief. Jonny is absent from this webcast. Multiple segments from this webcast reappear throughout "The Most Gigantic Lying Mouth of All Time".
The webcast was teased with the following info appearing on Radiohead.com:
This webcast is the first one (that we know of) to have a proper introduction sequence. Colin welcomes the viewers to the show and explains what would happen over the next few hours.
This webcast has more unique segments than the previous ones, so the DJ sets are less prominent, but they are still here.

After Thom's first DJ set ends, the feed cuts to Ed dressed up as Santa Claus and reading an excerpt from the children's Christmas book 'The Polar Express'. His speech is run through Nigel's delays.
This then cuts to a performance of 'Fog (Again)' from August 7th 2002.
This is the first appearance of the "My Showbiz Life" segment, where members of the band are asked vapid questions about being celebrities. This first installment features Ed, who responds only in honks and other incoherent noises.
Partway through Colin's set, Thom performs 'A Punchup at a Wedding' on piano.
After Colin's set wraps, Ed performs an improvised piece with his loop pedals that some mistake to be a cover of Manuel Gottsching's "E2-E4".
The second "My Showbiz Life" segment features Thom Yorke, who's responses are coherent, yet pitched down significantly. Curiously, in this original appearance, the video seems to stutter at random points. A full transcript of the interview appears below:

Darryl: Thank you. Good afternoon.

After all the DJ sets wrap up, the band launches into a cover of the Christmas standard "Walking in a Winter Wonderland".
After another song, we see Ed finishing the reading of "The Polar Express" from earlier, while being accosted by the other bandmates.
Some Christmas songs follow, and we then cut to Thom perfoming 'Morning Mr. Magpie' on acoustic guitar.
The final performance of the night is Thom performing the then-unknown and still-unreleased song 'I Froze Up'.
The webcast finally comes to an end with all everyone gathering around a Christmas tree.
