The Ricky Gervais Show / An Idiot Abroad - Xfm S3E6 (December 6, 2003)
Episode Date: September 4, 2022During the hiatus, Pilkington signed on with Gervais and Merchant’s talent agent, and negotiated a deal with XFM to get Mondays off in exchange for continuing to do The Ricky Gervais Show on Satur...days. This was a frequent topic of contention during this run with Gervais repeatedly accusing Pilkington of being lazy for demanding an entire day off on exchange for doing 2-hours of work on Saturdays.This show began airing again in November 2003 and broadcast for 12 weeks until January 2004 when Gervais and Merchant went on hiatus to film series 1 of their new show, ‘’Extras’’.

Jet, are you going to be my girl on XFM 104.
I'm Ricky Jovey's with me Stephen Merchant, over there, little roundy baldhead of Carl
Pilkington. Good news and bad news, boys are back in town, we're here for two hours.
Bad news is, we have no monkey news, gay fellow news or little Chinese fellow news.
We're going to try and leave that for a week and then maybe come back to it.
I was scary.
Why do I get the feeling that within 20 minutes are we talking about little gay Chinese
monkeys?
Carl, think of that.
We have got Monkinews. Have we? Oh yeah. So we've already broken that from it. Oh okay. I thought we're going to try and sort of talk about something else. I've just
done Jonathan Ross show and they don't talk about the same things every week. It's weird.
It is weird. Or as Carl says, weird in it? Yeah. So I gave this show about five plugs. Nice one. So I think we'll get upwards. I the the the the the the the their their their their their th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I've th. I'm tho. I've th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I'm th. I' th. I' th. I' th.

For the first two minutes?
Yeah.
And then turning back?
They're already switching over there.
I'd have thought so, yeah.
I sreddhred to my friend yesterday.
He's a little bit of an old fellow, had it in the right frequency yeah. I mean
pointless, completely pointless, but not dissimilar to this show I imagine in
terms of the number of listeners. Yeah but I was saying what's the chances of
people having this frequency on absolutely pointless. So it's probably like the same yeah. When I was young I wanted to get into radio I was excited. I was excited. I was excited. I was excited. I was excited. I was excited. I was excited. I was excited. I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was a to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. thi. th. thi. th. thi. thi. the thi. the the thi. the the thi, I was, I wanted to get into radio, I was excited on radio when I was sort of in my, I don't know, he was 11 or 12. My friend and I, we got a little mixing deck and we used to
host our own radio show. Brilliant. From his bedroom, we didn't have a transmitter. So we'd put
some speakers in his front garden in some bushes and sort of broadcast it to people who were walking away. Again, probably over the the the week. to. to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, th, th, th. th, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, we'd, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, it never happened, I always was hoping that some, maybe some girls would just come by and just like sit and listen,
these guys are great. I don't know where the sounds are coming from, it seems to be that
that bush but... Or Noel Edmunds coming along going, who are these guys? Yeah. Can you get on my touch on? Can you get on? Can they stand in for me? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I. Yeah. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. Yeah. I. I. I. I. I, I, I, I the.

Dad was in hospital, right?
And he was having some operation done, right?
And, uh, went to see him.
And I didn't have that much to say to him, right?
So I was sat there, well, it's awkward though, and it went so
boring, isn't it?
Boring. So I was flicking around
on that little radio thing they have. And he had a radio station in the hospital. So I said,
oh, I'm going to go and join this. So I wandered off to go and find it. So I joined that. Did a little show on there. I thought I can sort of get out to get out the mass. A mate their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thia. thirty. So. So. So. So. So, thirty. So, thirty. So, thirty, thirty, their their that. So, their radio station, their their their their their their their their the radio the radio the radio the radio the radio the radio the radio the radio the radio the radio the radio the radio the radio the radio their their their their their their their their their their their their th. So, th. So, th. So, that. So, that. So, that. So, that. So, that. So, that. So, that. So, that. So, that. So, that. So, that. So, that that that their their, did a little pirate radio show from the... Got kicked out because they found out and apparently I put the station at risk
because all the stuff could have been taken off us.
But from Little Lakeorn, 16 years later he's on a show with less listeners.
Yes.
Brilliant. Can you imagine if you've got into hospital, you're already pretty depressed.
There's the fear of these bugs, super bugs in the hospital. Yeah. Maybe, the fear, the fear, the fear, the the the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the stuff, the stuff, their stuff, their stuff, because, because, their stuff, because, because, because, because, their stuff, because, their stuff, all, the stuff, all, all, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the stuff. the stuff. the stuff. the stuff. the stuff. the stuff. the stuff. the stuff. the stuff, the stuff, the stuff, the the the stuff, the the they. they. they. they. they. they. they. their stuff, they. their stuff, the st. the sta, the sta, the sta, stuff, the st, maybe you've got some quite serious illness, you know, you don't know if you're going to make it. His voice is what you're here to cheer you up.
All right, weird, isn't it?
Sort of a program about a parasite on the night.
Yeah, apparently they're getting through your eye and eat the way up through your
genitals.
Anyway, here's radio.
Yeah, exactly.
Play a record, the the the the the the th. Classic. Stone Roses, falls gold, XFM, 104.
Brilliant.
Can I ever notice you've brought some sandwiches in Rick?
What's in there?
Cheese and onion.
Yeah. Because I've never ever seen you make sandwiches before.
I've seen you take a loaf, a piece of bread out of a loaf and sort of fold it in half,
crumbs everywhere.
Well, Jane made that for me because I was in a bit of a hurry.
I didn't think for a minute that you made it.
Why is it looks neat?
Well, there's they're wrapped in the tin, breaking it in half, and Albert's steptoe.
Yeah, brilliant. Yeah, nice. It's great, but the onions are strong. Are they?
Making my eyes water. If I can't breathe on you, yeah. It'll cure any sort of skin disease you might have.
Skin disease. We watched that, um, Carl, you know, that, Carl was raving about that thing, about about worms coming out of your brain and I watched it.
What is this is a TV show?
Yeah, it called Body Snatchers.
And it was pretty fascinating.
And I mean amazingly shot as well.
I mean it's got to win an award for photography.
And there was one bit.
And there was one bit that, this little girl had been neck like a boil and they pulled it out and it was like like a bullet this maggot and they put it down and it was rigging him in her
blood right but the hole left was sort of aesthetically pleasing you know that
like I once I had an ingrown hair and I quite liked it when I pulled it out
and it's a perfect little hole and I thought I wouldn't mind having those as long as they sort of like healed over a little I don't you're the th you you th you th you th you th you th you th you th you th I th I th th I th th th th th th th they're th they're th I th th th they're th they're th like like like like like like like like like like like like like like like th th they're they're th they're they're they're they're they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they're they they're they're they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're th th th th thin th tho tho tho tho tho tho thooo thoooo they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're those as long as they sort of like healed over a ratio. I don't know, it's weird, isn't it?
But why would you want a hole in your body?
No, it's quite pulling something out, sort of like, putting something out of your body?
I don't know what you're talking about?
No, but it's sort of like, but it's sort of like, I don't know, I don't know what for ages and I'd never had spots but maybe that's it.
I didn't have spots.
Right.
And I always thought that would be nice squeezing a spot.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Why would these things be pleasurable?
Why would a hair?
Why would a hair?
That's great fun?
That was good.
Because I got it.
It was like a little lump. what you mean? I get thick hairs down there, like really...
Oh and when they come out it's like a bit of wax, like putting out a little candle. I love
that. What? Yeah. Because I've got no not much hair on my head, right? It sort of grows thicker
on my face. No, not true. that. No, it does. No, true baby. No, no evidence for that, just made it up. So it grows sort of thicker on the neck and that and now and again I'll see like something
that's like a twig, right? It's really thick. Yeah, you feel it and think, oh I'm going to have
that and then you work at monkeys and gays every week. Right.
Because this is the sort of replacement.
This is what we've got if we're not talking about them.
But it was great as well.
And there's this parasite, right, that lives in a fish, right?
And what it does, it changes the fish's behavior. Because to breed it has to get its body temperature, so it has to get to get its to get its body, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, to get to get to get to get to get the body, to get the body, to get the body, to get to get to get to get to get to get to get to get their, their, to get to to to to to to to to to to to to to their, if their, if their, if their, if their, if their, if their, if their, if their, if their, if their, if their, their, their, their, their not their not their not their not their not their not, their not their not, their not their not, their not talk talk about about, their not talk about, ta, ta, thaugh, ta, to ta, to ta, to ta, tha, tha, tha, tha, thtemperature so it has to get into a bird. Sorry what needs to get into the bird? The parasite?
To be a life cycle.
So it changes the behavior of the stickleback and it makes the stickleback sort of suicidal.
So the stickleback doesn't flee when it sees a heron, it gets caught.
Right.
Because this stickleback has changed the behavior. I was, Carl, I don't the, the, the, the, the, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. than, than, than, than, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the the behavior, so the behavior, so the behavior, so the the the the the the the the, so the, so the, so the, so the, so the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, than, than, than, the, the, thease.a, thea.a.a.a.a.a, cha.a.a, cha, cha, cha, cha. Cha, cha, ch it. I watched it and you see like the fat fish and that and you go, oh, it's not well. But I don't understand...
Well, all it does is it has to get into a bird because it has to breed, to lay its eggs,
it has to have a raise of body temperature, so it has to get into a bird which is warm blooded. There's lots of things, certain that, that, that, that, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, it, it, it, it, it, it, it has, it has, it has, it has, it has, it has, it has, it has, it has, it has that, it has that, it has that, it has to to to to to to to to thi, it has th. It, it has th. It, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, to to to to to to to to th. But, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, to to that, that, that, that, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to that, to to to that, to that, that, but, that, the that certain things at that level. Why? Why is it doing that? Because it needs the temperature, it needs the heat energy for its reaction.
Just like, for example, that's why your balls are on the outside.
Because the cells have to be a certain temperature to survive.
I think, I don't know if it's the sperm or sati cells, but they have to be a couple of
degrees below body the nads.
What do you mean?
That's why your testicles are on the outside of your body.
They have to be a couple of degrees below body temperature.
Yeah, but it's not, that isn't why they're there.
That isn't why they're there.
You see, that, the giraffe, the giraffe, have you their that. It's not a will. The balls didn't say,
look, I'm too, what, let's get us outside? Let's get outside of here!
All right, hang on a minute then. So a little man monkey, right?
Theirs are in the same place as ours. Yeah. But they're walking around naked, so it could be like on the back. It doesn't matter where they are. They call it. Well they could could are are are are they're are they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're walking. they're walking. they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their the doesn't matter where they are. They call, well they could be on the back, yeah. So why aren't they? This is a completely different... Steve? You started it?
I'm washing my hands on the whole affair. And we're not only back to bulls, but we're back
to monkey ball. Yes. In one thing from about parasites, we're back to monkey ball news. Yeah. All right then, so this thing, this worm, this worm, this worm, this worm, this worm, this worm, this worm, this worm, thiiomomomomomom. How to be back to chim-testicle news?
All right then, so this thing, this worms and a fish.
Yeah, it's like a little platy helmet, I think it's some sort of...
But what I mean is, why are they about?
What do you mean?
Why? They evolved?
But why haven't they died out?
Because they're very successful?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
Yeah.
What do you mean?
Tell me the brain event that made you say yeah in that one second gap.
In a way I don't get it, and if I think about it too much, it hurts a bit.
Ha ha ha ha!
I've just been around for years, Carl.
Yeah, like Cliff Richard or something like that. Yeah, they'll listen to me. Forget about tomorrow.
By Feeder, on XFM, 104.
Carl is in some pain now, isn't it?
What angers me is the fact that the listeners, at least they get a record.
They get three minutes where they can
just relax, they don't have to listen to this drivel. I've got to sit here for
another three minutes why you try and explain to this idiot why we have a
parasites and why we have fish and why we and it's part of the ecosystem. He's going, but why is a parasite in a fish, in a her and back in a fish?
And I said what's the point in anything, right, apart from the balance of the ecosystem
that survives at any time.
And then Steve went, Carl, you should have done this when you're in six form,
questioning the point of life.
Yeah, you could have had these existential questions you know when you were younger did you ever used to lay awake at night thinking where the universe end? No. I did that one's about
six or seven for about a year but when someone said it was... He was like the
wake up thinking where does Manchester end? I assume it goes on forever.
They've made a map for the for the universe. Yeah well yeah to it as far as
I can yeah. Big is it? It's massive. Yeah. But if you're that lost, do you know what I mean?
Forget the maps are going to help you. Sure.
If you're that lost, forget it. Look, we're never going to make it. We're not going to live for 100 like years. We're not going to, of course they could dumb take a shortcut the wormhole, couldn't you? What's that? Oh no, no, no!
Let's not talk about the universe, please.
Let's talk about something that you can comprehend, Carl.
Were you on Richard and Julius today?
Yeah.
Tell us about that.
It was good.
It's a bit surreal.
Yeah. I really, there's something charming about them, do you know what I mean? They go off on tangents, they sort of digress, they suddenly think of something, she suddenly
go, oh, my jump is itchy or something, you know?
And it's quite charming, it's not annoying at all.
And I'd never seen the through before.
I thought I didn't insult them because I said it was like an adult blue Peter. Right, but um, in what way? Well they had a, they had a, um, a Christmas rapping competition.
Then they had, uh, then they had a, a Christmas rapping, yeah, and then they had a, uh, what the French people are like.
There was a little, didn't quite understand that, living in France.
Then they had a woman who, um, relived Elizabethan Christmas. The bit that made me laugh was, she sort of announcing this through an Elizabethan microphone
and PA to all the people sitting around at rest.
I'm getting confused.
It sounds funny.
It was good though.
And at the end I said, I'll be washing a tortoise and that.
And the producer said, if you do want to make something for the show, we'll definitely
feature it. So I might make some of those things tha things things things things things things things things things things things things things thages thages thals thals thals tho tho tho th. I th. I that that that that that that that that that that that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I that. I'm that. I that. I that. I of those things that you used to work on Blue Peter, like sending,
you know, I remember they made a chest of drawers out of three match, match boxes for Barbie
doll or some or Action Man.
I seem to remember them showing you how to make a dusty bin once. What on, on, on, uh, yeah? I made one. I made one. I remember I haven't watched. I've their their their their their the chea. I've made one. I've made one. I've made one. I've made one. I've made one. I've made one. I've made one. I've made one. I've made a their. I've made a their. I've made a c. I've made a c. I've their.

I haven't watched me Peter obviously for like 25 years, but
is it the same sort of thing? I think it's pretty much the same now? Yeah, they sort of, occasionally
they'll have kind of larger sort of dramatic scenes. So that all the cast were kind of out, sort
of murder mysteries and stuff like that. Oh yeah. There's a bit more of that going. Do they're more about their throwns. Do they still still still still still still still still still still still still still still. Do they still. Do they still. Do they they they they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're thinks. I thinks.

and they've got shiny buttocks.
The lights really pick up their arses.
I think they've kind of funked it up,
since we were younger,
because I remember, then he needed it with a larger one, and we'll just drive them around the studio for me. You're growing up now since Cullin with Shep.
You might die, you might not.
But I always wondered if perhaps the people in charge were not perhaps dying with the kids.
So what they were.
I don't they were.
This week, theykeets.

Never watch Magpie. No, I know I got it wrong as well. I did used to watch it but I used to watch Blue Peter. I think I was conned. I always feared, because
she with the Blue Peter I felt like I was learning something. I imagine on magpie it was just you know,
Mr. Tee came around or whatever it was a lot more cool was it in here. It on tell. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What happened to looking? I don't know, excuse me the Junior TV Times, I don't know. There's probably people
listening, you've never even heard of looking. Is that what it was? Apparently so?
But there was cartoons and things. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was just basically an advet for TV? Look, yeah. Did it have like a lo'erunardy strip or something? No. No. No. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's th. It's probably th.

Hey, I've had five kids, next picture, bought one of them a guitar.
Next one, we're at number seven. Yeah. Brilliant.
Next week, Tina Turner.
I love the fact that Five Star is still touring. There's only three of them though.
Really? They're still called Five. Really? They're still called five. Yeah, I thought there was four Boni M's at one point, tribute acts, that each one of them had a fifth who was someone who wasn't the original member of one of the Boni-M's, just
just out of a splinter group. It was ridiculous.
Yeah. I don't know how many there are now. I was thinking what we should do on this show
as well, is I have a doctor. Rightock's there the doctor can I go well let's ask doctor right and he goes they're there because I know and we need a doctor
probably a vet some sort of vet or a naturalist we're good and what else
oh and a physicist or something or an astronomer what do you think Carl I'd
love that would you really yeah yeah are is there is there any doctors listening of course there as if a doctor would listen to this if the if you are to to to to to to they. if they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. they. I they. I they. I they. I they. I to their. I to to to they. I to. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'd. I'd. I'd. I'd. I'd. I'd. I'd. I'd. I'd. I'd. I'd. I'd. I'd. I's. I's. I I I I I I I's.

I'm. the. the. to. th. to. th. th. to. th. th. th. th. th. the. the. to. this. If you are a doctor, I want a qualified doctor, I don't mean someone who's in their second year at medical school.
We're not interested in that. A qualified doctor, a GP or any specialist, and you maybe want to contribute
regularly, give us a call. We'll even give you a special phone line and stuff.
Yeah. Not for now though, we're going to get a lot of mentalist, aren't we? I would adopt a non-diplume, an alternative identity because your patients
are going to flee if they find out you listen to this trial. Exactly. What's the phone
number, Carl? Well they might as well just email in with the number, aren't that? That's because you don't like answering the phone? No, I just think it it it it it's th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi.

something to do with, uh... What thing could they say that we'd say, well he's definitely
a doctor, we wouldn't know that, think of something? Well, I'm not a doctor, so...
We're on the radio, Carl, when ask you a question you've got to speak.
I know. I'm just thinking, I don't know how you'd know. Because you never ask them, do you need their help, you don't think are going now before you do with this, do you know what you doing? But saying that, right? Go on. Talking about this other day. Oh, what was it now? Oh, go on. This fella goes., listen, do you want, let's just, alright, all right,
this fella, he's got it now.
This fella goes to the doctors, right?
Oh, right, okay.
Right, if this isn't any way apocryphal, stupid, illogical, impossible, right,
you are never, ever speaking again on radio.
So make sure this is at least possible. I'll th you what, I'll even give you improbable but possible.
So if anything that breaks the laws of the universe or logic, okay, that's all you have
to avoid, on you go. Right, so this fella, right, he goes to doctors because he's got ear
ache, right? Okay, if a chimps living in his brain, that he's got ear ache, he's he's all bunged up and it's hurting a their a their a lot and it's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's hurting, he's to, he's to, he's to, he's to, he's to, he's to, he's to, he's to, he's to, he's thi, he's thi, he's thi, so, thi, th.

a lot and what have you. So the doctor comes out and he goes,
I'm going to let's just make a minute, right? And because his ears all bunged up, he doesn't
hear it that well, right? So he thinks it must have been me, right? So he wanders keep going, keep going. Anyway. I'll tell you, I'm going to to hate to hate to hate to hate to hate to hate to hate to hate to hate to hate to hate to hate to hate to hate to hate to hate to to to to say. to say. to say. to say. to say. to say. to say. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their.

Okay, let's hear it.
So the doctor says, sit yourself down there, right?
So he sits himself down, he goes, right?
Take your pants off, right?
So he's thinne. He apparently took his tackle off. The doctor like did some operation.
What, they're in the waitman?
No, in his office.
In his office, yeah.
What? So he removed, what? His genitals?
Yeah. In his office. Why, why, Carl?
Because he hadn't called him in.
Oh, he'd called in a bloke who wanted his testicles taken off?
And he didn't do it, you, yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Yeah! Yeah! What, yeah?

It's a new single from Snow Patrol and Run. That's brilliant, and it's good stuff.
On XFM, 104.9.
Rick, go on. I'm a today. I'm a today. It's the new single from Snow Patrol and Run. That's brilliant, isn't it?
Good stuff.
On XFM, 104.9.
Rick, go on.
I'm about to say three little words to you
that I've never said to anyone before.
Go on.
Carl is right.
On what, though?
From Reuters, someone's emailed in.
A Brazilian man who went to a clinic to have an aching ear checked, ended up having a
vasectomy after mistakenly believing that the doctor had called his name.
He had gone in there, entered the vasectomy room when he was called, he was called by the
full name and yet thought it was him, but the strangest thing is that he asked no questions
when the doctor started preparations in the area which had so little to do with his ear. He later explained that he thought it was an ear inflammation that had got down to his testicles. And the fellas came off. Extraordinary.
All right? I'm stunned. Amazing, isn't it? But there's lots of things that keep coming
true with Carl's nonsense. There's a program on next week, the boy who gave birth to his twin. Oh. And he's there. He's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he's, he's, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, they's like, they's like, they's like, they- like, they-like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, he's like, on next week, the boy who gave birth to his twin.
And he's there, he's like pregnant with his thing, you know.
How long ago do we do that?
Yeah, you discussed that years ago?
When I talked about it, it was a baby who had a baby.
Now it's a boy who's like a grown man and that. It's took them ages to sort that out. I did it in one one one one one one one story. Right? Keeps happening.
We've done like Donald McIntyre's thing, right?
He's been ripping us off.
I did Cheapers Chimps.
Yeah, he's been doing it.
No he hasn't.
He has.
He has done some programme about how much it cost to get a monkey in that.
Right.
What else have we done?
He believes this? Yeah, yeah. There's loads of stuff we've done like that. You had the maggot coming out of the head?
I laughed you, yeah.
Didn't, in the program, didn't see him wrapping the end in bacon, but I mean that principles there.
Bob Holness has ripped off, rockbusty.
Yeah, and he ripped you off years ago.
Yeah, he's been written you off for years, which is even more annoying. So, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, th you thuuuuu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thi thi thin thin thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' thin' the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their thin' thin' thin' thin, thin, thin, thin, the the the the thea' thea' thea' thea' thea' the an the an the an thin, didn't. Yesterday, you know, Rich and Judy gave you the tea-picked by monkeys.
Yeah. I told you about that. Are you the last week of the week before?
Yeah, and then you also told me that there's a place where they grow coffee, where the weasels come out and eat the coffee. Right, but they have too much of it, get you to be in vomit, and they sell the vomit, because it, because it, because the vomit, because the vomit, because the vomit, because it, because the vomit, because the vomit, because the vomit, because the the the the their their, because, because, because, because, because, because, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, together, their, their, their, their, their, their, the coffee, right? But they have too much of it, get you three and vomit,
and they sell the vomit because it makes the coffee smoother.
Weasel vomit? Yeah.
Yeah.
Absolute shies.
It's not.
It's not.
When you say it like, it's not.
It's ridiculous.
they say it like, they're ridiculous. Why if they say it up then, because they're they're, their. their. their. they're, their. their. they're. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their.

You get addicted to it, don't you caffeine and that?
Why do they stick it up then?
They have too much.
Is he tired? They can't sleep.
They sort of...
They're tired.
They're not sleeping.
So they get ill.
It eventually wears to that's been opened.
Carl that's for the treatment of monkeys but he immediately thought it was run
by monkeys in white coat did he really?
Yes and he was disappointed because it wasn't.
He was assuming there be little janitors, is that what you said?
Yeah, little janitor is mopping up.
Carl? Little chimps with the thi. Yeah, clear. Yeah, exactly. Brilliant. He was almost angry. Yeah, disappointed with it.
And what's this about Donner Air giving a baby to a gorilla for a week? It happened?
No, it didn't happen. She had a baby. They went on the honeymoon. They left it to a little gorilla to look at it. Don't talk. Don't talk! Oh God!
The people online now so they can have a look at on and over.
Do you want to give some stuff away?
Do you want to give some...
He believes it and that's it!
But the more these things sort of like pop-up come true, the more worrying it is.
The more worrying it is for everyone.
Imagine if Donore had left her baby to a gorilla. It's... It's. It's. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I tha. I tho.

I to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to her baby to a gorilla. It's absolutely, it's libelous. You're saying
that. It's libelous. It's not, well you'll, someone will send it in a bit and then you'll feel
daft again. So I'm not even worrying about it. Okay. Right, you've got some rubbish to give away?
Yeah, we've got some stuff to give away, uh, DVDs, stuff like that. Well, let's play a record. the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. th. Someone th.

Someone's the. Someone's the. Someone's. S., a couple of them in there. For 49? Yeah, Supergrass. Yeah, excellent. What is the competition, incidentally?
Doing songs of phrase.
Oh. Supergrass late in the day on XFM 104.
And there's too much to get through here, Rick.
There's too many things we've got systematically...
Am I going to eat my words?
Well, before that, you know, we get emails all the time, they're coming through all the to' thrown. I open them, and I open them, and a lot of them, because everyone's contributing, because, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, because, you, because, because, you, because, because, because, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, their, to, to, to, to, to, to, too, to, their, to, tho, too, too, too, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, and there, too, too, to, to, to, and, and, to, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, thi.. And, th. And, th. And, th. And, too, th. And, too, too, thi. And, too, thi. And, too, too, thi. And, thi. And, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, too, thi. So I tend to open them quickly. I have a look, see if there's anything we can sort of make sense of and close him again. Sometimes Carl looks at the emails as
I'm opening them. One opened just a minute ago. Did you saw his face? His face. Yeah,
his face was just stunned. He was absolutely dumbfounded. It was like he just sing something
extraordinary, right? And you closed it quickly. I'll tell you why. Right? I always bear mind that Carl's mind works. All he saw was the name of the band that this email was
promoting. So all he saw, all Carl saw, and you can imagine how excited he was, was all he saw
was half man half biscuit.
That's, that's all he saw I've never seen anyone so excited
Oh god!
It was actually just plugging in the popular joke novelty band
How are you the end of them then?
Ah, fuck.
Ah, how excited he was.
That is fantastic.
Man half biscuit.
Brilliant.
Mr. Garibaldi. Oh, half-man, half-biscuit, that is genius.
Oh, amazing.
I just saw it, and when you closed it again.
Yeah, but the thing is, if he hadn't have told you that, and he'd have erased it,
next week you were saying, about what they've done in scientists, they've cloned a man with a biscuit. He's got currents for eyes.
Never go swimming.
What?
Okay, anyway, just to, uh...
I don't know what the world's coming to, but someone sent us a link to one of the web news pages.
Go on. The headline, Donna Eyre to hand her baby over to a gorilla.
Well, it's not, it's not going to be what he thinks.
Well listen, Donna Eyre and her zoo owner boyfriend, Damien Aspinall, intend to place their
baby daughter in the care of a gorilla. The couple plans to put Freya, who was born in
September, in the gorilla enclosure at the zoo near Cantermary. They will then let her be carried off by the female of the group. Neither parent has any qualms about letting their daughter be taken off despite five keepers being killed by animals
at Howlitz and his sister's park since 1980.
I don't understand. What do you mean? Well, that's it. That's it. That's the newboombube and they're going to put it in a grip. But I mean... Well he said why would I not trustust thuuuuu their th th th th th th th th th th thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu they thu- thu- thu- the the they they they're thu- thu- they're they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're th th th th th they're they're they're they're they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. they're they're thi. they're they're they're thi. they're they're they're they're they're theyust them. I know them, I grew up with them, they're my friends. Yeah but I'm not saying that they're aggressive, but it might roll over on it or something.
I don't know, take it up with them. I mean Donna Ayer is not the brightest spark in the
box. No, but I don't think, you know, that would in, she'd in danger. I mean they must know someone we don't. I still don't they don't they don't they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just they're just. they're just they're just they're just. I th. I'll th. I'll th. I'll the. I'll the. I'll the. I'll the. I'll the. I'll the. I'll they're they're they're they're they're they would exceed in danger. I mean they must know someone we don't. I still
don't I still can't believe they're just going to leave the gorilla with it.
Hmm. Why would you though but why would you? Even though it says well it's cheaper than the babyseer?
Well I don't know well how cheap is a gorilla babyseer?
Carl knows because there's probably some sort of organisation.
Right are we... Competition there, come on then, what is it?
Songs a Phrase.
Remind us of this?
We got the film one coming up later as well.
But Songs of Phrase is the one where...
I take a popular phrase from the show.
Well no, it's not a popular phrase from the show.
It's sometimes something you said once.
There's this air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air air. this air air air.

sentence and you have to email in with the artists that you hear.
What's the popular phrase then? What's this popular phrase that's sweeping the nation?
Uh, it's what we talked about last week. It's, uh, my girlfriend had a problem with
a marrow. Right. Yeah. All right. She wasn't your girlfriend. She wasn't your girlfriend. Yeah, but I the the the the the th. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the th. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the their. What. What. What's. What's. What's the the the p. What's the p. What's the p. What's the p. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. What. It. It. It. It. It. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. So. So. So..................................................... couldn't find a sort of blind date or whatever.
So, uh, so seven artists it's taken to make up this.
My girlfriend had a problem with her marrow.
Well, that's at least eight, so.
Well, maybe not.
I think I've managed it in seven.
Anyway, here.
Oh, what the artists.
Let's get a pen and paper and make a note.
What artist are you hearing here? My...
What the artist?
What the...
Tomorrow?
Very good.
Oh, okay.
So, what, what the artist?
My... My girlfriend had a problem with her marrow.
My girlfriend had a problem with her marrow. We want the names of the artists. What can we win, Carl?
Can I just recap that story? The girl can't want to be a blind date. But when he found out that this girl had some sort of bone marrow problem, he said he didn't want to see her anymore. What's the point in getting to know someone that's going to die? Yeah. So just that's what you're dealing with. That
is what you're dealing with with Carl Pilkington. Would you buy a car with a duffengen?
Yeah. At the third point. Ricky Dr Vrills on XFM 104.9. I'm Ricky Javais with me Steve Merchant.
Over there, Carl Pilkington, the man who believes anything.
I think it might be a condition due to his little round head.
It's sort of like, it might be a new condition that we can call cranial spherity.
And it because it's it presses on his lobes and the only sort of upshot of that is.
He's normal and everywhere but he leaves everything he reads or sees on Anna Nova.
All right.
Talking of which I don't really follow the news.

It's mainly boring in it, wars and stuff.
But I don't know...
Well, yeah, what it is a war, it's just...
It's all this nonsense before and after.
When it's a war, it's you know, it's in the middle of the war, you can watch it on tele,
you get results, do you know what I mean? Do you know, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th.

It is all. It is all. It is all. It is all. It is all. It is all. It is all. It's all. It's all. It's all. It is, it is all. It is, seemed I thought just generally it was better presented than the previous one because I remember the first
goal for it was often during the night and I couldn't stay up. Yeah because
I think the American had rights to it like the Tyson fight so we had to get
it at two in the morning which is annoying that you know their prime
time in that a lot of it was in black and white is when when the b. I think there's been awards. Yeah, well I like the same.
So like Channel 4 won for cricket.
Yeah, I mean a few times as well I was quite pleased to see
you know they actually had footage of the bombs exploding.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, good, well done.
Gets a lot. th got something like you know a Jimmy Car Game Show which probably costs about underground yeah like half an hour of war
cos millions it's almost expensive with like Terminator 3 or something yeah
but I mean you know but then you know you got a variety
sorry see you're talking about I just just wanted I just wanted I just wanted to
just want I just wanted to make sure you're aware that the world elephant polo
championships have taken place I did did get it. I feel that mentioned, yeah we won, didn't we? England won? Yeah. My question is, where have
they been practicing? I don't know. Do you remember it whatever at school, anyone
ever saying to you, are you interested in playing polo with elephants? Do you
do you reckon it was five blokes in Pithermit? It's kept sneaking into a whipsnade? What are you doing lads? We're practicing. Get, get down, get off them
elephants. Yeah. I genuinely, I don't, I didn't even know he had a team. I can't believe,
no it's like Johnny Wilkinson in the rugby lands, they're going to get MBE's all sorts. The
elephant boys, the elephant polo boys, nothing. They're going to have nothing. I don't think you, there's a stick long enough, I think the elephants kick it, don't they? I think you might be right, I think they're not allowed to use their tusks.
They burst it, weren't they?
I think, oh, oh, Rahim!
Yeah.
What do you mean the elephants kick it?
All right.
All right. I know normal polo on a horse, they have like mallets. Yes, they whack them.
But I think obviously they're too high up.
I think, I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they just train the elephant to kick it.
So why are people something about why not just let them have a kick about without...
Imagine that! And why does horse race have to have a jockey? Well, they just let the horses go, I know, okay lads, no cheating, on your mask, get
go, you know, get back here, get back here. Brilliant.
Why do you think? Just, I'll tell you what, now, I'm going to be like a teacher now.
Why do you think? Uh, thi'n't they're going to be like a their their their their to get, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, which hand they sort of go in?
Which hand they've got to get the ball in?
Sort of.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How do you, how do you sort of steer an elephant, as it were?
How do you ride an elephant?
It seems quite a complicated procedure.
I don't imagine they're quite as versatile as a horse.
No, I mean, you can't look how you, I mean you have to have a huge playing surface wouldn't you? I mean these are big creatures. Yeah, they use Kent. Yeah, and they
drop two big, huge jumpers. One in either side, one in south of Kent, one in North Kent.
And it takes days and days. And is there the full, is there like 11 on each team. Yeah and one on the subs bench. Exactly. And it keeps breaking, the bench is broken.
Yeah, terrible.
He's living because he's never getting chosen.
No, he's never getting chosen, yeah.
Well he doesn't turn up to training.
Of course, and he's never going to forget.
He's down at the lake.
Down at the lake. When they should be training, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, he, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. tho, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because, because.

Go on.
They've been sold at last for £17,000.
Send him out of them.
I don't know about them.
Who opened them that should have?
They got sent to someone else.
They weren't even addressed to you.
They were meant for Lady Hamilton.
They were meant Dear Lady Hamilton, a bit of a problem.
Just the one hand. You might have to help me out on a couple of believers.
Yeah, and the one eye, so I'm not appreciating the 3D.
Exactly. I don't care where you put it.
Yeah, go on. Yeah, did me. Exactly. Go on then. Of course he ended up kissing Hardy, didn't he?
Did he kiss Hardy?
Did he ask him when he never did?
Well I don't know, I don't know about this, because I don't know,
I don't know, and he didn't, and it said kiss me, me Hardy.
And then I heard that he did dying breath was no tongues. Yeah I'm not sure.
And someone went, kiss you what? Exactly. Yeah. That was his nickname? My name's Smith?
Yeah. Kiss me Hardy? I wouldn't have thought so. I'll kiss your lips and you'd be happy with it.
But yeah. I'll touch you Hardy. But I'm not kissing it. Go on. A couple of quotes from there. This is him writing to Lady Hamilton who he was having an affair with. I can either eat or sleep
for thinking of you my dearest love. I never tou-skid, even pudding. I think we've all
written a letter like that to a letter. That's a euphemism. That's like, I think that's, I haven't eaten, by the way I haven't haven't even knocked one out. Yeah, exactly. You are gonna get a sackful.
All right, Carl?
You're a little producer, is this all?
It's all euphemisms, I've not said anything wrong.
Go on.
Oh come on, it happened in the 19th century.
Yeah.
We can't talk about it. Anyway, sorry, we better get back to the competition. I'm worried that we've lost sight of that competition, because I'm not going to lie to
to you, we've had no entries whatsoever so far.
I can't believe that, because I actually got up most of those.
That's actually a more accessible one.
I think I know all the artists and I'm stuck on girlfriend, but I think I might know
what that is.'s a pretty accessible one.
I think that's a pretty accessible one.
An accessible quiz?
Yeah, so no one's, is the email up or no one's listening?
Well, I think there's a little bit of that.
But I think we've accidentally closed down the texting.
So if you're texting in, don't follow the rubbish.
This is rubbish. It really is awful, isn't it?
Yeah. Just play it again. Hang on on it.
My...
I tell you what it was, we didn't give out the prizes were going to be. That's the reason.
Yeah, I think I think the emails are going to go on mental when they... When they find out it's the first series- the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their is their is the first s- the first series of of of of of of-oes of of- thoes of open thoes of open thoes of thoes of thi is to open too going to be. That's the reason. Yeah, I think I think the emails are going to go on mental when they find that it's the first series of open all hours on VHS
they'll be flooding in. Let's see what we got in. And a Bridget Nielsen video.
Exactly. Oh, no actually it's not too bad. The best air guitar albums in the yeah, that's still going. That's still going that's ever going. That's a a a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's a that's that's that's that's the the the the the the the the the the the their. their. their. their. their. their. that's that's going. their. that's their.

Some kind of anniversary box set of a Doctor Who episode with a small model car.
No one wants that, baby.
I'm Alan Partridge Series 2. That's worth having obviously and Porridge Series 3.
Okay, good.
If not watched all of them on UK Gold.

Someone just emailed in and said, uh, just want to know what you think
of that cover of Wonderball. We told you. We said it was great. Yeah. Listen. But they must
have been listening to hear the song. Yeah. Extraordinary. Although maybe they just turn off.
When we start talking? Yeah. That would make sense. I mean, it would make sense in a sort of preserving
of sanity type way
as well.
Objectively, Rick, if you were listening at home, if you didn't know us and you were listening
to the show, would you bother?
I know that's a hard thing to get your head roamed?
It's difficult to say, isn't it?
I've no idea. I've no idea what people come in. I've no idea. I've no idea what people. I've to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thathea. If to listen.

Yeah. A recent survey has been done by Chatham and Gloucester. The most desirable neighbor in Britain.
Number one. Shane Ritchie. Johnny Wilkinson. All right. It doesn't actually give me the full rundang, but David Beckham was in the list. Yeah, he's flying at the moment. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. thi. the. the. I th. I th. I th.

As was Ricky Gervais. Really? Well, that's what it says. It doesn't tell me where
you came though. And there was actually a neighbor from hell and you weren't in that list.
Well, I'm a good neighbor. Oh, come on. I'm quiet. I never... I'm never... nightmare. Yeah. Most desirable friend. I'm a good neighbor. I'm quiet, you know, yeah. Yeah. I mean, I imagine being stuck in the room
with me writing all the time with me squeaking like a chim. Unbelievable. Although I don't
physically abuse you, I save that to my bald mates like Carl and I just like to squeeze
their head. I don't squeeze your head. You know what I mean? I think it's because you command a little bit more respect. Ah, thanks very much. Do you know what I mean? You're not that sort of...
You're not an idiot.
Sure.
Alright, Carl, got anything to say?
Has anyone seen this picture in heat this week?
It looks fantastic, doesn't it?
Do you know what Steve said when he saw that, Carl?
He said, it has captured the pictures, you know how like a good photographer can do that and capture the essence
of someone?
That's good stuff.
It's good stuff.
Well actually I'm the photographer.
He's got a screen grab from the behind the scenes footage.
So I got that gimpness.
I captured the essential gimposity.
The, uh, yeah. Carl. All right? Yeah, well, I did a little
article for time out and I think Boyd from Heat is sent over that screen grabs to them.
So he might be in time out. I'm going to try and get him in every publication for one
year. It's like Dave, well, you've managed it in the last two weeks. Exactly. It's like a Dave Gorman project. Are you, are you Carl-Ca, Carl, Carl, Carl, Carl, Carl, Carl, Carl, Carl, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, the, th, th, the, the, th, thi, thi, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. th, th, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th. th. th, th. th. th, th, th, th. thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi, I Let's do that, shall we? If anyone's got a
publication, it doesn't matter how little, just take it from heat, that's mine, so you're
welcome to it. Just try and just put his picture in anything, next to round things is best, isn't
isn't it? That'll be good. You're right, Carl? What have you got for us, Carl? News headlines? They're on that, sort sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, sort, that, if. that, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if.

But we'll give it to Mark Cantan he got, what did you get about six or something?
Well, don't he's from Dublin, so that's nice.
How's it? Listening over there, the Irish.
Yeah. That's good all that's nice. I was listening over there, the Irish. Yeah. That's good night.
Um, a German man, just thought I'd let you know this car, Ricky.
A German man has been arrested because he taught his dog to give the Nazi salute.
And then he made it do it in front of two policemen.
I think it's an offence in Germany now.
That's a fascist with too much time on their hands. No but is it it it's illegal for a dog to do it as well. I think so. I bet he thought he'd found a loophole. Yeah, yeah. I mean he's
been dying to do it but he thought well I'm not allowed to do it. It's a legal
for a human to do it. Yeah. Thought he got around it I thought he got around it I don't know about it. No. Don't do you're. thin. they. they. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. th. th. to do. to do. It's. It's. It's to do. It's to do. It's. It's to do.

It what were you telling me about the Germans earlier?
He was saying something about the accent.
It's fine with bloke but not with women.
You won't want to go up with the German woman because the accent.
I was just saying it's a bit manly, isn't it?
Sure.
Is it?
Yeah, it sounds a bit hard. romantic language now it's quite harsh yeah but that's our no but what I mean is right I can't speak any other languages apart from this one well
right I struggling with this one yeah and what I mean is whereas you really do
speak the language of love all right there's some condoms where's me tea
yeah what I'm saying is if a French woman was talking she might be saying really nice stuff.
That's what I mean.
But then we got talking because, do you know like my brother was...
Sort of a prejudice really, isn't it?
In a sense, what do you mean?
In a sense, it's racist, but anyway, on you go on.
It's not really, is it?
But, uh, yeah, my brother was in the army, we've talked about how we got kicked out for going for a packet of flags in a tank and that, right? But he was, when he was in the army he was based in Germany for a bit
and he used to be one for sort of picking up the ladies and that. He always had
you know new girlfriends and stuff. He's just tugging to him.
He just got through loads of them. Well I didn't, I wasn't that bad. Well no, you've had things like, you've had a a trouble. they. they. they. to. to be, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, I'm, I, I'm, I, I was, I was, I was, I'm th.

a bus driver he was one of them who always had a woman still at the front with
him and sort of you know having a chat and stuff. Sure and he sort of got a,
he was the bus driver? Did he own the bus driver Germany and the army people say to him now we know
what you like Pilkington right that's Pilka don't be uh don't be meeting up with
any german lines leave the frown lines alone not allowed to go out with German women because
they apparently they get you and then they beat you up and that what the German women's
what the German women why? What the German women? What the German women? What the German women's? Why? Go on? Don't know, they just said don't, because they don't like English army man.
English army people and that.
Why?
See, I don't know.
See, I don't know.
See, I don't know.

What is that? What worries me Rick is we've got the face, the body language and things to try and interpret this gobbled to yuk. The listeners did you have a word?
I mean it must be, I know, yeah. It must be just ridiculous for a listener.
Right, just do the competition.

Better brag.
Yeah.
So it's cold? It's called the Saturday Boy car. Faddle it not. Billy Bragg, the Sunday boy on XFM 104.9.
Ricky's laughing because he's just thrown something at Carl.

That Knowing Me Knowing You, I've noticed it on VHS which is good.
Yeah, exactly.
That's quite quaint.
Excellent.
All right.
Yeah, so what's the, explain, the conceit of this is... Don't I tell you what a film is? Because that might be the question thinking
about it. Because there isn't that much going on in the clip.
I think we need to know what the film is. Do you? Yeah. All right, it's Rain Man.
Okay. Why is he called Rain Man? Is that going to be the question? Yeah, I know the answer, Carl, don't you the film? thrown. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thr. the the thr. the the the thr. the the th. thi. that, the that, thi. thi. the thi. the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. th. th. th. thr. thr. thr. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. things. things, things, things, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. Yeah I know the answer Carl don't worry don't look at me that. Oh well then, yeah, you watch the film, yeah, you should. Right, so it's you
Carl in the film Ringman. Yeah, it's a bit when Tom Cruise is in the doctors with
the, with the ill man. All right? There we go. You ready? Well I'm not a psychiatrist, but I do know that
his brain doesn't work like other people. Wait, I am sat at it.
Don't go talking about me like I'm some sort of div kid.
Got a good brain.
Works well, it stores all sorts of information and stuff, don't it, Tom?
He, uh, remembers things, little things, sometimes.
Don't say like that, little things, as if it say like that little things as if it's stuff that isn't
important. Are you good with numbers? The doctor's asking your question. Yeah I know I'm just thinking.
Good with numbers. It depends. I know that good at maths, but I remember facts that I've got
numbers in them like I know that one person in two
billion will live to be 116 or over.
Weird thing is a lot of them are Chinese, so you know, sort of makes you wondrous the
lion.
I'm afraid I don't understand what you're talking about.
What you mean you don't understand what you're talking about. What do you mean you don't understand? It's not...
All right. Here's an easier one for you then.
Goldfish have better memories than people think.
He's right?
He's right?
Yeah. See, there you go.
Uh, goldfish related.
Oldest goldfish in the world was 41.
No. Yeah. Funny thing is there, if it was a golffish with a dodgy memory, it
could have been older, could have been, you know, pushing 45. That's amazing. I mean that
is amazing, he should work for NASA or something like that. Well, I don't go that sort of
things, you know, they're the sort of things I like reading about, you know, I've got that big book there. Uh, it's full of sorts.
Did you read all this?
Yeah, don't...
You read all these stories that are in this book.
Don't bother toucester.
Maybe you better put it back.
Give it back.
Go!
Okay, no, right.
Take it too'n't.
the touch. Can I answer something else, Raymond? No. You've annoyed me now.
You've kept coming here saying I'm daft a lot and messing with my book.
Just go, will you?
Excuse me.
Were they messing with your big book of freaky facts?
Yeah, that's out of order. Good. So what's the question? Why is he called Rain Man?
Yeah? Everyone happy with that question?
Yeah?
Okay, Ricky Dr. Joveys at XFM.co.
Why is he called Rain Man?
Right?
Yeah. That's the time. X-FM.

Got through another one?
Got through another one?
Seemlessly.
The film is, obviously we had just moments ago.
It was Carl featured in Rain Man Man The question was, why is he and
the film called Rain Man? The answer, Ricky was? Well, Tom Cruise's character, when he was little,
couldn't say Raymond. He used to call him Rain Man. Okay, plenty of right answers, but we're
going to give it to John Steele, who interestingly is from West Yorkshire, he's listening. Yeah, it is. That is interesting. It is. So that's pretty much much th. Is th. Is th.

Is there time for Monkey News? I think we've got to have Monkey News. And then that second
track from the Ryan Adams. Let's play the jingle though if we can. Oh, chimpanzee that
monkey news. Right. Now, it's back in the 1980s. Right. So it is quite topical then? When did this happen then? 1980s? Yeah. It's about a Colombian F1 sort of
you know Formula One driver. Apparently these races were going on, right? And someone kept winning
them. Ah, right, okay, forget it. Forget it. No, don't do it. It's because it's rubbish.
Because it's rubbish. Right, so someone kept winning the races.
So this, um, this someone, this human, this human being that kept winning the races, Carl, what was his name?
Um, his name is it? It's Jimmy something. Yeah. How told him?

Right?
Go on.
So anyway, he kept winning and everyone was like, oh, he's brilliant, this guy who is he and all
all that.
But his gimmick, right?
Was never showing, never showing his body or face?
That's right.
Never took his helmet you know the short trousers he used to wear? You know his trousers were about a foot long, but his shirt, the sleeves are really long. Anyway, right, so because he
wouldn't take his helmet off, he was in, it was taking part in like the F3, which is like
the lower ranks of Formula One and that. Just get to it. Everyone thought it was like a a famous driver. Just get to get it. Everyone to.

Little Monkey under there.
No, definitely not.
Okay, let's play Ryan Olo.
Did he survive?
Let me just cover questions.
Did he survive?
Yeah, he did.
Yeah, he was allowed to keep all the awards.
Sure. But he wasn't allowed to take part in any other races. This is a song called the Shadowlands also from that Life is Hell album. It's good stuff.
Idiot!
