The Ricky Gervais Guide To... The Future
The Ricky Gervais Guide To ...The Future is the third audiobook in the second season of the Guide To... series. As has previously been the case, the podcast has been uploaded early.

Track Listing
1. Introductions (0:00)
Ricky starts by recounting a famous quote before introducing himself, Steven Merchant and Karl Pilkington.
2. 75 Years From Now (0:21)
Ricky starts by taxing Karls brain about what will have happened 75 years from now in the future. It will no longer matter what gender you are, what job you are in and how far it will have advanced. Karl counters this by saying the theory he heard was that the population would not grow as people would progress to become more ugly, therefore people will not have as many relationships, therefore not as many children will have been born. Ricky and Steve try to tell Karl how his theory does not work, to much success. Karl believes that we are now better looking then we was in the 1950s, unable to understand that simply fashion has changed. Karl starts saying how recently he has watched his little finger and it is doing nothing, and will therefore in 75 years time be gone. Ricky explains to him how evolution does not happen this quickly.
