Wendy asks "if Karl had to eat the same dinner every day for the rest of his life, what would he eat?" He says that he doesn't taste it anyway, he just eats it quickly. He questions when it became important that food was tasty and seasoned. Gervais mentions that we need sugar and salt, and we need to know what they taste like to know that we're getting them. Gervais misinterprets him, and believes he is talking about on an evolutionary standpoint, whereas he was just talking about chefs. Pilkington goes on to say that he doesn't like too much choice. He mentions all the different types of toffee available to buy in a toffee shop, which leads to ridicule from Gervais and Merchant. He says that it would take him up to four minutes to choose which toffee he would want to buy. He would be content with one or two selections of toffee. He goes on to say that menus in restaurants are now like books, making you look through everything until you find what you want to eat. People are now even eating food that can be harmful to humans. Pilkington is simply perplexed by this.

Pilkington opens this link with the saying "a stitch in time saves nine". He still does not understand this, and is not bothered about it - "[[Suzanne]] repairs me stuff, anyway.". He then brings up "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". He takes this in a very literal sense, as he thinks there are people living in glass houses. He thinks it means "don't be chuckin' stuff about... if you're surrounded by glass, and what have ya".

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?"

Pillow Man

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 a day with out of all the people he's seen in his "odd magazines". Gervais recalls Pillow Man (right). He has no limbs, and yet he can roll cigarettes with his mouth. Pilkington is not impressed. Gervais then asks his thoughts on the three-legged juggler. The fact that he wasn't using his gift annoyed Pilkington - he thought he should have done something with his legs, such as running or swimming. They go on to talk about the man who ages fast. Pilkington takes this to mean "every other week he's havin' a birthday.". He is becoming stressed at the idea of choosing one of these freaks to hang around with. He comes to the realization that it depends what he plans to do.

6. I could stand there for up to, like... four minutes (7:31)

Wendy asks "if Karl had to eat the same dinner every day for the rest of his life, what would he eat?" He says that he doesn't taste it anyway, he just eats it quickly. He questions when it became important that food was tasty and seasoned. Gervais mentions that we need sugar and salt, and we need to know what they taste like to know that we're getting them. Gervais misinterprets him, and believes he is talking about on an evolutionary standpoint, whereas he was just talking about chefs. Pilkington goes on to say that he doesn't like too much choice. He mentions all the different types of toffee available to buy in a toffee shop, which leads to ridicule from Gervais and Merchant. He says that it would take him up to four minutes to choose which toffee he would want to buy. He would be content with one or two selections of toffee. He goes on to say that menus in restaurants are now like books, making you look through everything until you find what you want to eat. People are now even eating food that can be harmful to humans. Pilkington is simply perplexed by this.

7. Don't be chuckin' stuff about (11:06)

Pilkington opens this link with the saying "a stitch in time saves nine". He still does not understand this, and is not bothered about it - "Suzanne repairs me stuff, anyway.". He then brings up "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". He takes this in a very literal sense, as he thinks there are people living in glass houses. He thinks it means "don't be chuckin' stuff about... if you're surrounded by glass, and what have ya". Merchant asks him to repeat this, as he is dumbfounded at how stupid Pilkington was.
