Fun fact: The American animators depict Munchies as crisps, but it's wrong as they are actually chocolate biscuit-y things.

Karl & I share a few things in common. He was born 2 months before me. We were both going to be called Brett, but our parents changed their minds just before we were born. He grew up on a council estate in Manchester, I grew up on a council estate in Birmingham. Karl had a Raleigh grifter and a Z84, as did I. We both tried boxing once, and gave up immediately. We both grew up to become miserable old buggers.

The podcast version is more detailed on the floatation scenario: - you can go in but never get out - you would not know you got in a tank - it would be the perfect life, simulated but you couldn’t tell the difference - nothing bad would ever happens In the end most people say they wouldn’t go in the tank, because even with bad things in life people want to live something real

The mumbled words Ricky said at the start was Robert Nozick. He is an American philosopher

Just FYI, the video starts with Ricky saying 'Robert Nozick did this thing...' Nozick is a philosopher (mainly of ethics) who is famous for his 'experience machine' thought experiment. It was meant to undermine simple hedonistic ethical theories, on the assumption that most people wouldn't want to enter the machine, which would suggest that truth/reality is a value over and above mere pleasure.

Great fun with Marvellous Mandy and Karl's munchies! Who needs a floatation tank? Haha 👍🤣😅😅

Jimmy Saville was a radio DJ and presenter/TV personality from Leeds who was known for his eccentricity, catchphrases and loud outfits. He presented for the BBC for a number of years, two of his most famous being Top of the Pops and Jim'll Fix It. The latter was a show in which little kids would write in with their wishes and Jimmy and the production crew would make their dreams come true. At the end of each episode, the kids would be rewarded with a medal saying "Jim Fixed It For Me". As well as presenting, Saville did a lot of charity work and even volunteered at hospitals such as Stoke Mandeville in Aylesbury. He was later given the keys to Broadmoor, which is a high security mental facility in the UK. He was knighted after former PM Maggie Thatcher requested for him to get one for many years, and after his limelight faded, Saville died in 2011. In the aftermath, several allegations of inappropriate behaviour and misconduct surfaced after many of his victims came forward, basically saying that Saville used his high status to abuse innocent people to do what he wanted while "hiding in plain sight". After this huge scandel shook Britain and the investigation by Operation Yewtree went underway, Saville's headstone was removed and later destroyed.

Also, they absolutely get it. This is british sarcasm 101. They are just taking the piss. They absolutely get it though.

Haha you've got the bit in your stomach for pudding too 😅 growing up we would eat our tea but maybe not all the vegetables and our excuse was "we are full but we have the pudding part empty".

You are over estimating the length of Karl's boxing career 😂😂😂

So firstly, "I would eat the world" is I think the best quote from you so far 🤣 Secondly, I relate to your attitude about food on a very deep level lol. I agree that there is ALWAYS room for dessert. If I'm out to eat with people and I hear someone say "Oh I don't think I've got room for dessert", I have to say... I lose a little respect for them lol. Also in regards to your neighbour... there's an older guy at my gym who is exactly like that! He'll come over to me and start speaking, and it's as if he'd started that conversation with someone else 30 minutes ago, and they walked off, and he's come over to me to finish it 🤣 And I always feel bad for him because I get the impression he doesn't speak to many people outside of the gym, so I always feel obligated to try and have the conversation with him but seriously... sometimes I have no idea what he's talking about.

I love how they reference jim will fix it multiple times i hope these were recorded before it came out that jimmy savile was a dirty bastard

I get what Karl is talking about, the human-instinct of suspicion toward constant positivity and/or the sense-of-purpose.

After your savory dinner you clearly need something sweet to balance it out. Dessert not additive to your "fullness" it's complimentary :)

As well as the problem hole, Karl has also made mention of the worry hole. I dunno if that comes up in this animated series, though. Now Mandy, you should remember that Bullshit man takes the elevator, right? :) The flotation tank thing... well Ricky and Steve were taking notes to program Karl's life, they'd add crap hotels with no proper toilets. I think we know what they'd get up to. It would be 'An Idiot Afloat'. And today I learnd that my stomach has what is essentially a 'pudding pouch'. Gotcha! :) Karl isn't so wrong about the pink or yellow jeans btw. Older guys who wear those tend to be ex-pats and doing well for themselves. Effortlessly brilliant reaction today and it made my morning!

munchies are drawn here as if it's a generic term for snack food, but it's a specific chocolate confectionery called Munchies in the UK,

Have you heard of the comedy "Red Dwarf"? They published books of it too, and one of them was called "Better than life". In which they enter an "Total Immersion game", which is exactly what they were discussing. Although it uses your subconscious to give you your life, so you get your deepest most desired life. HOWEVER, YOU ARE DYING IN REAL LIFE! You have to rely on people to feed, clean and protect you etc. So the choice is live a full happy life, thinking it's your whole life, but back in reality you are wasting away without being aware of it. While the book could have been a little better written, it is really great how it explores each others world's. It's on Audible and e-book etc, and I often wish I could make that choice because my life is full of pain and depression, and where the pain medication (high dose of morphine amongst others) makes me sleep for up to 18hrs, (but I wake up like I haven't slept for weeks) butt, boy my dreams are fantastic! Because of that I prefer being asleep, to being awake! So I'd love to live in a fantasy world. On the subject of DESERTS, apparently the sugar in deserts makes your STOMACH EXPAND, SO YOU CAN EAT MORE DESERT!!!!! How awesome is that?! (Except it makes us fat!!!!) 😭😭😆

0:25 "Robert Nozick did this thing th-that if you could go into a flotation tank". - The experience machine or pleasure machine is a thought experiment put forward by philosopher Robert Nozick in his 1974 book Anarchy, State, and Utopia. It was an attempt to refute ethical hedonism. 1:20 Again with the Munchies lol. They are not crisps, or chips they are a cube shaped chocolate with a biscuit centre surrounded by caramel. Someone needs to send you a food basket of things like Marmite, Munchies, Monster Munch to sample on video! 1:50 Don't knock being on the toilet, most men have had trips to the toilet so good they have made us question our sexuality. On a more serious note, just the alone time for someone with ADHD/Autistic traits like Karl is probably a huge motivating factor. 3:20 You invented the Matrix 9:40 Steve's main job has always been the buffer between Ricky and Karl, knowing when Karl is about to spew gold, coaxing it out, but most importantly stopping Ricky from sidetracking them, no more is it more in evidence than these moments where he's telling him to shut up unfiltered

Your laugh is so very endearing. 😊

It's called a Cake Hole

Steve wants Karl to finish digging his own grave (or problem hole). This happens many times on XFM.

Take your time, she'll love you for it. You may even learn each others language

Always enjoyed the problem hole/gene/ball concept. Theory is Ricky gets lots of small balls which pass through the problem hole, and it's easier for larger problem balls to pass a result. Karl, meanwhile, has less problems but the problem hole can get stuck with a big ball when they happen, so the smaller problems grow the ball instead of slipping down to the problem gene like normal. All about having some catharsis which lets you get around the big stuff, and for Ricky that's getting annoyed and relaxing again quickly.

Red and Yellow jeans rich people wear like Micheal Portillo RAILWAY JOURNEYS.

Karl pretty much summed up a key point of Eastern Philosophy innit. If you had endless time, and you could be in complete control of your experiences, you'd spend aeons experiencing everything you'd ever want to, you'd fly, you'd master all the skills in the world, you'd have a harem of supermodels, but eventually you would become bored. Eventually, you would relinquish control, because you'd realise having everything you ever wanted and never facing adversity is not really living.

agreed with deserts there's always room

Such a chuffed lad :D

The problem hole/gene/ball: it was pretty clear what he was saying. It’s basically the same as Maslow’s pyramid of needs. When you lack something, you just think about getting that thing. Once you get it though, you just move on to needing something else.

Interesting question about his pessimism There's a phrase in England "it's grim up North", referring to the north of the country. Karl not only comes from the northern part of the country, but he epitomises this, so it is cultural. Ricky and Steve are very much southerners. The weather is less dull, economically and socially all indicators are better down south generally. Steve is in fact from almost literally the furthest south you can go in England. [Edit: I say this with the impartiality of an Irish person who has lived in northern England and my ex gf is from leafy Kent in the south].

I think Stephen telling Gervais to shut up is actually because Stephen is trying to get the best out of Karl. He knows Karl is coming up with some funny nonsense. It's kind of why Ricky wanted to do the podcast with Karl in the first place - to get the most out of Karl for the viewers but Ricky is too far in to mockery mode and Stephen is trying to get him to shut up so Karl can deliver the magic.

Karl: Poop, Munchies, Suzanne. Me: As much poop as possible please, seafood. Karl can take the floatation tank. As of right now, after all this time seeing your Karl reactions, the only thing I can tell that me & him have in common is the poop thing, except I like it fifty times more than he does. I like it a lot. Also, there's a lady on KZread who once said "everyone likes to poop," so throw her into the pot with me & Karl, on that point. 😂So, that's not as unheard of as most think. "Enjoy the go, with Charmin," as the toilet paper commercial says........ Charmin or not, I enjoy the go. You can take everything from me, but give me my poop time!

The Jim they talk about during the Jim'll fix it bit was about a famous tv presenter called Jimmy Saville, he was one of the most beloved, famous people in the country.
