@@MandyCaneLane if you like these most of the audio is taken from a radio station they used to present on. It’s call Xfm and it’s from circa 2003. There is 100’ of hours of it on UA-cam

I think a lot of the time Ricky and Steve do understand the points he's making but they just say they don't so he has to elaborate more and it makes for a funnier conversation
Yeah, as Ricky says in the intro to Idiot Abroad, 'There's nothing funnier than Karl being poked with a stick. I am that stick' 🤠.......(And it's gonna be great)
I feel like that mount Everest thing might be a bit exaggerated as smell shouldn't travel in the cold very well and if its frozen and covered in snow, the snow should insulate it
So entertaining to see you increasingly in tune with Karl's reasoning. Plus, like many of us, completely agreeing with him! Karl would be proud. You should be, um, what's the word? Oh yes, uppered! 🤣
Don't think anyone in the comments has explained it but "tipping" is short for "fly tipping" which is essentially dumping stuff on the sides of roads, farmers fields or anywhere they can chuck a washing machine or fridge off the back of a van without being seen. It's a crime in the UK (as I'm sure many other places) but people still get away with it.
Karl is actually right about Everest growing. The geological phenomena that created the Himalayas hasn't stopped, and the Indian tectonic plate is still pushing into/under the Eurasian plate, making much of the Himalayas continue to grow, whilst India actually loses roughly 2cm of landmass a year.
I love how Karl doesn't weasel out of answering any question that Ricky throws at him. And the greater the mockery from Ricky the more calmly he doubles down to come up with an answer! Mandy, as always, is right about Karl Pilkington - his mind is so special.
Not always true. Sometimes he answers with a non response like if Ricky asked him “to when would you travel back in time?” and he’d say some useless detail like “but do my clothes go back with me”
When i cut weeds in my yard the first one that i cut must be giving off some kind of signal to the other plants because I think they start releasing some chemical that makes me itch like crazy, and they are not mosquito bites, more like small rashes and it only happens when I cut the weeds.
I don't think it's just mount Everest either. My sister's one of these people who likes to climb mountains and that kinda stuff and there was a funny incident once. There was an article in some paper "Tourisrs shat all over mount So and so (I want say the name)" and they put a photo of my sister there, the writers got lazy and just googled "climber" or someting and her photo came up. My sister was furious.
Most birds sleep at night like us but they can think it's daytime if there is a lot of artificial light or sometimes loud noises make them chirp a warning.
You watch these three in a very unique way. Most don’t hate on Ricky and Steve because they are deliberately setting up the Karl factor… they will either steer him into a topic, or poke him with the metaphorical stick… but that when Karl is let loose. And that’s the comedy gold.
Favourite is rain. I love the sound of rain on my window. I find it relaxing. Least favourite is any alarm or telephone. Anything that signals urgency.
I haven't heard about the poop problem on Mt Everest, but I wouldn't doubt it. But it has become a bit of a tourist trap with a nice heated base camp at the bottom. It's all regulated by the Nepali govt now. So similarly, I've read that you have to pay a pretty hefty deposit at the base camp before you can even climb the mountain. And apparently, at one point, the trash on the mountain (water bottles, food wrappers, etc) got so bad that they'd give climbers trash bags before they went up. And if they came back down with their bags full, they'd get part of that deposit back. So I wouldn't be surprised if human poop has become a problem as well.
@@MandyCaneLane Yeah, I figured you'd been getting comments about that. That's why I didn't mention it. Did they mention that the corpses have nicknames based on their clothing or the position they're lying? People use them as landmarks. Someone might say something about "Green Boots" or "Sleeping Beauty"...which are corpses used as landmarks.
Karl foiled himself with his own logic with the ghost thing. He said ghosts are the same state as when they die. So, if they take the eyes after he dies, it won't matter
I used read the Metro newspaper,(free newspaper on public transport in the UK) , for years and I remember the story of the elephant with slippers and the piano story being in there!
I'm with you on mosquito buzzing. Flippin hate it. I'll be like, look fine, take a drop of blood. Take 10 drops if you want. But for god's sake stfu. Also, as soon as I hear a mosquito in my room at night I have to leap up, scan the room to locate the mosquito like some kind of bug ninja and squish the f******. Most annoying sound for sure.
Actually it's true, the Everest gets taller through time because of the collision of the tectonic plates so the whole Himalayan region gets pushed up even though it's a slow process
Another great reaction, Mandy. I loved your phrase about 'What is normal to a spider is chaos to a fly'. That's going to stay with me. There was an experiment carried out once (I sound like Karl now) where 1 person had one flower, and they talked nicely to it every day, whilst the other shouted at the flower and calling it names. The experiment was to see if the flower could discern the bad and good vibes from the voices (probably down to frequencies). If I remember correctly, the end result was that the flower that was talked to nicely, grew just a little more than the other. So, hardly conclusive but..... "In a study performed by the Royal Horticultural Society, researchers discovered that talking to your plants really can help them grow faster. 1 They also found that plants grow faster to the sound of a female voice than to the sound of a male voice." Now there's an experiment you can try at home. The reason birds tweet in the morning is that they can't use Instagram.. no, just kidding. But according to Sir David Attenborough (a legend in our time and a national treasure), the reason birds tweet is to check on the other neighbourhood birds to make sure they're ok and survived the night. A morning gossip if you like, which is just so cool. Mandy's Ghost.... no wait... Mandy's Gross Stories, should become a thing. A once a week video of you imparting a gross story you know, hehe. Unburden your rolodex onto us. Tipping is when someone dumps rubbish in places they're not supposed to (instead of taking it to the local rubbish tip). Thank for you making my horrible day better.
Haha, I could totally make a "Mandy's Gross Stories Segment"! I should start writing them down! 🤪 And I am sorry you had a horrible day, hope tomorrow is a fantastic one! 🤗🌻 Also, plants are hella cool!
Street lighting has affected urban bird behaviour. You’re right that usually the dawn chorus starts unsurprisingly at dawn but they have been confused by the bright lights in our cities.
Think about it! “Flower man” another word for bud is “flower” because it’s the flower of the cannabis plant that you smoke (unless you’re smoking hash)
Karl came so close to making a good point near the end there. Antibiotic resistant superbugs are definitely becoming more of a problem as a result of humans overmedicating.
Great reaction.. I think the Everest thing is that mountains are continually growing.. Being pushed up by volcanic activity from below.. I remember reading Everest grows at a rate of something like 5 cm's a year..
@@MandyCaneLane When the Mountain was first surveyed by George Everest in the 1800s, he came up with the height of exactly 29,000ft, because he thought everyone would think he'd just estimated it to the nearest 1,000ft, he added 2ft. Unintentionally getting closer to the true height at 29,002ft. Latest estimate I've found is 29,029ft.
You love that saying soo much that you can't remember it. It's really engrained in there. Lol The chirpy birds at 2am thing 🐦🦜. Are there lots of street lamps and stuff around the area? I see a documentary here that showed that because cities have bright man made light sources everywhere that it disturbs birds sleep patterns. So they can be awake chirping in the middle of the night because of bright LED street lamps everywhere.
Not really, it is quite a dark area... but I get it. And I read the quote because I have been known to remember them incorrectly and it completely loses the desired effect! 😅🤪
Also, a lot of Karls weird and strange supernatural stories are often sourced from a British magazine called "The Fortean Times" , which him and his mum reads. Its full of weird supernatural stories
@@MandyCaneLane the magazine gets mentioned often in passing on the original XFM show or on this show and he mentions his mum is into it aswell as supernatural stuff towards the end of season 2
Mountains do increase in height over time due to tectonic plate movements, that is how they are actually formed. so one up to Karl on that one. and germs did rampage around the world in 2020 all be it not gigantic ones we could see so again Karl kinda predicted Covid in a way. The guys a freekin genius
Plants are dead interesting in the way they work together and help defend eachother and stuff. I can’t remember what documentary I watched but there’s a really good documentary on Netflix somewhere about it
Birds find it hard to communicate with modern noisy human living, mainly from cars so they communicate when it's quietest, it's our fault not the bird's. I noticed this in lockdown, bird's communicating more in the day rather than 3am.🤪
The magpies here in Australia sit around chatting with each other at like 3am if not earlier, but I still love them, they don't wake me though. I had a neighbour who was woken every morning by a thrush, eventually he got so sick of it, one morning he shot it with an air rifle, I should add that I don't condone that kind of behaviour.
@Mandy Cane Lane if I remember correctly, he had tried other things like scaring it, etc, but it kept coming back, right outside his window. It was a long time ago, back in the late 80s/early 90s era, I just remember the final solution because it was so extreme, and it was so sad, because I love those birds(or any animals actually). In hindsight, sorry for sharing such a downer of a story 🤔😪, should try to keep it happy here. And you're so good at using emojis, I'm not.
I think Ricky and Steven use Karl as a symbol for the gullibility of the masses. Though exaggerated, his arguments are no sillier than many I hear people speak with conviction.
I love your reactions to Ricky Gervais Show and I share your opinion about Karl. He has a special way of thinking, but he is a very kind person who wants the best for everybody. His heart in in the right place.
Kind person? he said charity is worthless and people in famine/warzones should just move lmao. hes an average brit, just a blue collar average dude who doesnt think much and just tries to get by day by day, hes not malicious but hes certainly not a good person.
5:00 Warner bros own both the Ricky Gervais show and Scooby Doo so probs could get away with it cause of that I guess? plus maybe it comes under free use since it's incorporated into part of the show? I was surprised at how specifically it was drawn when I first saw it too haha! 11:00 yeah I have some big trees in the back garden (UK) birds go crackers about 3am, pisses me off in the summer when I have to open the window to get some breeze in while I'm asleep.
9:35 good point, but I doubt Karl was thinking about it that philosophically... Right, on the organ donation bit I get that Karl already thinks that he's explained and Steve's just not getting that, but if you carry down that line of logic it doesn't matter if they take your eyes, you're already a ghost and you had eyes when you died. Either, as Karl says about headless ghosts, ghost bodies are as they were when you died and nothing matters (so you could have eyes removed) or the body needs certain things to stay in to work as a ghost (eg eyes to see, brain to give instructions). Can't work both ways.
I like that you actually try to see Karls perspective on things, most people who watch this show just think Karl's an idiot and laugh at him. It does annoy me how Ricky tries sooo hard to appear like an intellectual when he's just a comedian who can repeat 5 different facts they heard and often turns what could be a genuinely interesting talking point into a shouting match where he tries to "win". Stephen's not that bad, he does spot when Karl says something that could lead to an interesting conversation, Ricky doesn't, he just sees an opportunity to make himself look smart. I don't know what article Karl was talking about with Everest 'growing' but he could have been right, because the tectonic plates are constantly moving together, it does get millimetres taller every year, it could have nothing to do with the measurement techniques. And the worst noise on earth is people whistling.
There isa lot of shit up there but it doesn't particularly stink, if shit is warm enough to smell it's warm enough to biodegrade. If it's frozen solid it wouldn't have a smell
Tipping is illegal here. Well the dumping of things. The other tipping happens but not often. I've never tipped a takeaway delivery person, it's just not done here :)
You liked the voice of the narrator in the intro of An Idiot Abroad. That's guy's voice is okay, too. But this show's opening narrator's voice is really cool. Like a Morgan Freeman effect. In the videos where you played this one's voice, I imagined myself saying the intro with him while trying to sound like him. My voice is baritone, so I can get away with doing that. 😂My maternal grandfather's voice was base, so I get my baritone from him. I once noticed, in church, that while singing along with a congregational hymn, his high note was my low note. 23:43 The fact they still had Karl naked on that part. 😂It's not even the shower anymore. :D
Thank you for the Mt Everest story. As someone who hates physical activity I now have a reason to feel superior to those silly moutain climbers wading through human droppings. Excellent 😆
“Tipping” or “Fly Tipping” is just dumping say an old sofa on the street rather than taking it to the “tip” which is where you’re supposed to dispose of large items of waste. It’s against the law n a kinda pikey ish thing to do
The fact that you talked abour at 28:00 is a karl thought. On the radio show segment called educating ricky, karl talks about Brian Blessed shitting himself on top of Everest. And ricky was annoyed about how that was not educational.
Lmao! No.. my mind went: chickens... no wait, those are female... male chickens! No, they have a name... what are they called again? Oh yeah, roosters! 😅🤪
@@MandyCaneLane Btw, peoples' droppings aren't even close to being the worst thing about Everest. A lot of the climbers who didn't make it (exposure or falling into fissures/chasms and the like) are still up there, due to being inaccesible and/or because of the further risk to life posed to would-be reclamation efforts. Looking into it makes for some interesting, if grim, reading.
Worms do surface to avoid drowning when it rains. Karl has come out with several facts that have subsequently been proven correct. Like Ricky says tho he hears something and then embellishes it and believes his own imaginings 🤣 I must have listened to the podcasts 10 times since lockdown to get to sleep. I can see why you like these but they do cut a lot out which spoils them a bit. You miss a lot of context.
You grew up in California? Thats like saying 'R' (our) Karl grew up in London.... Of course he didn't... Speaks like a Mancunian, Just like you speak like a NewYorker? (or we would say Newyorkian)
@@MandyCaneLane super famous in the UK. Considered one of the legit "national treasures". Hes an actor with a BIG booming voice and BIG bushy beard. Has an achievement list a mile long of all the things hes done

Little known fact is that they discovered Everest is actually getting taller solely because they're adding layers of poop on the mountain.

Its about cutting water supply to parts of the plants that could be in pose of danger - thats why they tell other plants near by
So cool seeing you enjoy this for the first time!

Kind person? he said charity is worthless and people in famine/warzones should just move lmao. hes an average brit, just a blue collar average dude who doesnt think much and just tries to get by day by day, hes not malicious but hes certainly not a good person.
My favourite moments are when Stephen and Ricky just can't understand Karl's reasoning. And babies do laugh. 😂
🤣🤣🤣
well if are a gosht how will you bump into stuff?
🤣🤣🤣
5:00 Warner bros own both the Ricky Gervais show and Scooby Doo so probs could get away with it cause of that I guess? plus maybe it comes under free use since it's incorporated into part of the show? I was surprised at how specifically it was drawn when I first saw it too haha! 11:00 yeah I have some big trees in the back garden (UK) birds go crackers about 3am, pisses me off in the summer when I have to open the window to get some breeze in while I'm asleep.
What is up with the 3 a.m. birds? 😭
@@MandyCaneLane early bird gets the worm innit 😏
@@beautifulchlorophyll2285 especially if Karl’s around
@@NJH01 😂
You've probably got the nightshift birds vs the daytime ones who clock on about dawn .
But at 2.30 a.m. it has been night for hours! 😅😅
9:35 good point, but I doubt Karl was thinking about it that philosophically...
Right, on the organ donation bit I get that Karl already thinks that he's explained and Steve's just not getting that, but if you carry down that line of logic it doesn't matter if they take your eyes, you're already a ghost and you had eyes when you died. Either, as Karl says about headless ghosts, ghost bodies are as they were when you died and nothing matters (so you could have eyes removed) or the body needs certain things to stay in to work as a ghost (eg eyes to see, brain to give instructions). Can't work both ways.
Touché good sir!
When they question Karl they know exactly what he means they are just trying to get more comedy out of what he's saying.
I like that you actually try to see Karls perspective on things, most people who watch this show just think Karl's an idiot and laugh at him. It does annoy me how Ricky tries sooo hard to appear like an intellectual when he's just a comedian who can repeat 5 different facts they heard and often turns what could be a genuinely interesting talking point into a shouting match where he tries to "win". Stephen's not that bad, he does spot when Karl says something that could lead to an interesting conversation, Ricky doesn't, he just sees an opportunity to make himself look smart. I don't know what article Karl was talking about with Everest 'growing' but he could have been right, because the tectonic plates are constantly moving together, it does get millimetres taller every year, it could have nothing to do with the measurement techniques.
And the worst noise on earth is people whistling.
Thank you, I find Karl's logic extremely interesting and relatable 🤗🌻
Base camp, maybe - you have to step over dead bodies to get to the top
Talking about the poop on mt everest...its the same thing with people who die on it, cant retrieve them, they stay there too...
😅😅😵
@@MandyCaneLane Yes, climbers sometimes find them.
There isa lot of shit up there but it doesn't particularly stink, if shit is warm enough to smell it's warm enough to biodegrade. If it's frozen solid it wouldn't have a smell
Buzzy noises? How about fiddle spiders little legs tapping on the floor?😂
I have no idea what those are (thank goodness)
@@MandyCaneLane Argentinian Brown recluse spider a-k.a fiddle spideys or reapers?
If you don't need the rest of your physical organs to function as a ghost, why would you need your physical eyes to see as a ghost? Steve's right.
I have heard other arguments that were better, like they remove your eyes after death.. Lol! 🤣🤪
Loving it but having in India and Nepal for quite a while mountaineers are there briefly and a bit loose on the toilet front 😊
I love how you now understand Karl logic. I only know a few people who do.😂
The best people.. LOL
Yeah I was going to say I think Hanna-Barbera animation does the animation for the Ricky Gervais Show
Tipping is illegal here. Well the dumping of things. The other tipping happens but not often. I've never tipped a takeaway delivery person, it's just not done here :)
No problem with that.. every country has there customs. 🤷🏻♀️🌻
You liked the voice of the narrator in the intro of An Idiot Abroad. That's guy's voice is okay, too. But this show's opening narrator's voice is really cool. Like a Morgan Freeman effect. In the videos where you played this one's voice, I imagined myself saying the intro with him while trying to sound like him. My voice is baritone, so I can get away with doing that. 😂My maternal grandfather's voice was base, so I get my baritone from him. I once noticed, in church, that while singing along with a congregational hymn, his high note was my low note.
23:43 The fact they still had Karl naked on that part. 😂It's not even the shower anymore. :D
Lmao, the animation guys add so much to the comedy!! And so cool you noticed that about the notes!!
The cartoonist has never seen a European robin 😳
Very few living things think. You need a large amount of brain power to think and a worm just doesn't have it.
I'm with Steve that didn't explain anything... they don't remove your eyes for donation when your still alive they do it after you've already died...
Hahaha, touché! 🤪
5:34 same studio that did the Flintstones and this show also did scooby doo, although i think it's all Warner Bros. anyways.
This is a good watch because Karl is hilarious and you're other level gorgeous.
Thank you for the Mt Everest story. As someone who hates physical activity I now have a reason to feel superior to those silly moutain climbers wading through human droppings. Excellent 😆
Hahahhaa, don't forget the corspes! LOL
@@MandyCaneLane true 😂
mr K Dilkington yassssssssssss
“Tipping” or “Fly Tipping” is just dumping say an old sofa on the street rather than taking it to the “tip” which is where you’re supposed to dispose of large items of waste. It’s against the law n a kinda pikey ish thing to do
Another great reaction video. Thanks for the upload!
Thank YOU for watching! 🤗
The fact that you talked abour at 28:00 is a karl thought. On the radio show segment called educating ricky, karl talks about Brian Blessed shitting himself on top of Everest. And ricky was annoyed about how that was not educational.
Lmao, I disagree, that is very educational 😅
Bless you Mandy, you are beginning to sound like Karl.
Lol, not sure if that is necessarily a bad thing 😅🤣
@@MandyCaneLane The only thing that can possibly be more entertaining than 1 Karl Pilkington, is having 2 Karl Pilkingtons
It's 3 series of 13 episodes so 39 in total.
Cool, thank you!
10:05 - 10:07 Trying really hard to avoid saying 'cock'. Such is UA-cam's language dictums. (Lol, dictum.)
Lmao! No.. my mind went: chickens... no wait, those are female... male chickens! No, they have a name... what are they called again? Oh yeah, roosters! 😅🤪
@@MandyCaneLane Btw, peoples' droppings aren't even close to being the worst thing about Everest.
A lot of the climbers who didn't make it (exposure or falling into fissures/chasms and the like) are still up there, due to being inaccesible and/or because of the further risk to life posed to would-be reclamation efforts.
Looking into it makes for some interesting, if grim, reading.
"They don't understand ghosts." *sigh*
🤣🤣🤣
tipping is illegally dumping large amounts of mostly bulky waste in secluded areas instead of paying to have it removed.😬
Ahhhh, ok. Thank you Clarky 🤗
Not always secluded areas - many people dump stuff in the open on the street in residential areas.
A Karl-fest this week! 👌
🤗🤗🤗
23:10 I agree, you don't go out in your inside footwear, defeats the purpose of having it.
🙌🏻
Worms do surface to avoid drowning when it rains. Karl has come out with several facts that have subsequently been proven correct. Like Ricky says tho he hears something and then embellishes it and believes his own imaginings 🤣
I must have listened to the podcasts 10 times since lockdown to get to sleep. I can see why you like these but they do cut a lot out which spoils them a bit. You miss a lot of context.
Yeah, but you have to agree, the animations add so much!! 🙌🏻
I appreciate your Mt. Everest story, i'll pass that onto my girlfriend😂
Let me know if she appreciates it too 😅
Mildly grossed out😂
@@jonbolton3376 As she should be 😌
😂😂 great reaction as always 👏👏. Karl for prime minister 👌😂
Thank you Antony! 🤗🤗🌻
You grew up in California? Thats like saying 'R' (our) Karl grew up in London.... Of course he didn't... Speaks like a Mancunian, Just like you speak like a NewYorker? (or we would say Newyorkian)
The artist drawing Brian Blessed as a man with a moustache still makes me angry! 25:45
Hahaha, I have no idea who that is 😅😅
@@MandyCaneLane super famous in the UK. Considered one of the legit "national treasures". Hes an actor with a BIG booming voice and BIG bushy beard. Has an achievement list a mile long of all the things hes done
