Gervais reads out an e-mail from a New Yorker. He's seen a Chinese midget homeless who has been living there for the last thirty years. He even includes a picture of the man, which cost him $10. This worries Pilkington, as taking pictures of ordinary Chinese homeless may start a fight. He is quick to point out, however, that this occasion was not a problem as it's easy to hold a midget back. Gervais asks of him "so is that your warning to people? Don't be taking pictures of fully grown Chinese homeless?"

Merchant begins a sentence with "many of the listeners are aware, Karl, that you're fascinated by, by smaller people, um" where Gervais interrupts him and corrects him - "well... he's fascinated by ''difference'', I think". He brings up Pilkington's appearance again by saying that most people do not look like him. Pilkington, in return, brings up [http://www.pilkipedia.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Karl_vs._Steve the first time he saw Merchant] - "it was just, oh, that's different.". He goes on to say he's now "got used to it". The conversation moves swiftly from Stephen Merchant to [[freaks]].

Track Listing

1. Who's pausing this show? (0:00)

Steve points out an error that some people are having when they pause the show, which confuses Ricky - "hold on, who's pausing this show halfway through?".

2. Karl. You. Rock. (1:16)

Nicky from Beverly Hills, California, tells Karl that although his head "is not normal" and he looks "gimp", Gervais and Merchant should not ridicule him. Pilkington replies with a simple "cheers". He believes the only reason he looks odd is that he has no hair, but Gervais replies:

"No, it's perfectly round, your head. Perfectly spherical head, your face is slightly too big for it, it always goes over the, almost goes over the sides. Perfectly round head, um, pug little nose, funny gimp eyes with no expression, hangdog look, like a little mouth, like a little lamp ray, not formed, not human formed, the way your expression, is, it is like you've had a lobotomy, your head goes weird at the back, it's got a little nod in it, uh, it's really strange, your face. And you're stupid."

Merchant simply says "We've had a lot of e-mails saying that." Gervais bursts.

3. Chinese homeless (2:23)

Merchant announces people have heeded Pilkington's call and have been going out looking for Chinese homeless people. Apparently there are a lot in Los Angeles as there is a large homeless community there. He brings up Amy from Vancouver, Canada, who is Chinese herself and had never seen one. She even went for a walk around the Chinatown in her area, and she couldn't find any.

4. Chinese midget homeless (3:34)

Gervais reads out an e-mail from a New Yorker. He's seen a Chinese midget homeless who has been living there for the last thirty years. He even includes a picture of the man, which cost him $10. This worries Pilkington, as taking pictures of ordinary Chinese homeless may start a fight. He is quick to point out, however, that this occasion was not a problem as it's easy to hold a midget back. Gervais asks of him "so is that your warning to people? Don't be taking pictures of fully grown Chinese homeless?"

5. He's fascinated by difference (4:44)

Merchant begins a sentence with "many of the listeners are aware, Karl, that you're fascinated by, by smaller people, um" where Gervais interrupts him and corrects him - "well... he's fascinated by difference, I think". He brings up Pilkington's appearance again by saying that most people do not look like him. Pilkington, in return, brings up the first time he saw Merchant - "it was just, oh, that's different.". He goes on to say he's now "got used to it". The conversation moves swiftly from Stephen Merchant to freaks. Gervais brings up the book Pilkington used to carry around with him, which allows Merchant to return to the e-mail he began to read out. A listener asks who Pilkington would most like to spend the day with out of all the people he's seen in his "odd magazines". Gervais recalls Pillow Man (right).
