I used to listen to these podcasts back in the early 2000s and no one believed me how funny this XFM show was until Idiot came out… “ ohhhh Jan, that Karl guys is super funny!!” Ummmm duh! Only been telling you about him for years. 🤣
42:53 Karl never managed to drop the simple minded thinking of attributing HUMAN behaviour to animals and insects. The entire world is a cartoon for him. It's so sweet but also incredibly frustrating.
Most of the things Karl said about the worms coming to the surface when it rains are true, whereas Ricky's suggestion that it's '' in case they drown '', sounds faintly ridiculous.
*Karl meets Bill Hicks!!* [Opening scene: A dimly lit stage with a single spotlight shining down on a lone figure, pacing back and forth, cigarette in hand. The figure steps into the light, revealing a scruffy beard and an intense gaze. Smoke wafts through the air as the voice of Bill Hicks emerges.] BILL HICKS: Ladies and gentlemen, gather 'round. Tonight, we delve into the realm of the absurd, a place where logic goes to die. And who better to guide us through this twisted landscape than a man whose mind has become a carnival of folly? I present to you the one and only Karl Pilkington. [The figure steps forward, revealing Karl Pilkington, bewildered and wearing his signature expression of perpetual confusion.] KARL PILKINGTON: Alright? So, Bill tells me I'm here to make sense of the nonsensical, to peel back the layers of reality and expose the absurdity beneath it all. But let me tell you, mates, I'm just a bald-headed bloke from Manchester. What the bloody hell do I know? [Laughter ripples through the audience.] KARL PILKINGTON: You see, Bill had a way of looking at the world that was equal parts hilarious and scathing. He could see the hypocrisy and the lunacy that lurked beneath the surface, and he'd eviscerate it with his words. Me? I just stumble upon it accidentally, like a toddler tripping over his own shoelaces. [The audience chuckles.] KARL PILKINGTON: But there's something about the way Bill approached life that resonates with me. He saw through the facade, the puppet show of existence, and he called it out for what it truly was: a cosmic joke. And in that, he found truth. [He takes a drag of his cigarette, exhales a cloud of smoke.] KARL PILKINGTON: Now, I may not have Bill's eloquence or his fiery passion, but I've got something else. I've got this knack for stumbling into situations that make you question the very fabric of reality. Whether it's pondering why people put their dogs in strollers or wondering why we don't have see-through skin, I've got a head full of thoughts that are equal parts profound and absurd. [He scratches his head, looking genuinely puzzled.] KARL PILKINGTON: And maybe, just maybe, that's the key. Maybe in embracing the absurdity, the contradictions, and the sheer madness of it all, we find a sliver of truth. Because when life throws you a curveball, when it makes no bloody sense whatsoever, what else can you do but laugh? [He lets out a genuine chuckle, contagious enough to make the audience join in.] KARL PILKINGTON: So, here I stand, a humble fool in the footsteps of a comedy giant. I can't promise you answers or enlightenment, but I can promise you this: together, we'll navigate the labyrinth of human existence, stumbling, tripping, and laughing all the way. [The spotlight fades, leaving Karl Pilkington standing in the darkness, his laughter echoing through the silence.] [End scene.]
Love Carl he’s a very spiritual soul

He's not bald he just has very fine hair and a wide parting.

Most of the things Karl said about the worms coming to the surface when it rains are true, whereas Ricky's suggestion that it's '' in case they drown '', sounds faintly ridiculous.
