Tomatoes were considered poisonous when pewter plates were used. Pewter plates were made with high lead content, tomatoes have citric acid, citric acid reacts with lead to form water soluble lead citrate, a highly toxic lead salt is now in the tomato juice.
Yeah it does annoy me when Karl is right about something and Ricky/Steve act like it’s up there with being as stupid as ‘chimpanzee steals car and drives to Spain’.
@@DrunkTalkin and then in the next link when Ricky’s proven wrong he’ll find some technicality and weasel out of apologising. Moments like that make you realise how he played David Brent so well. But they’re all mates and I’m sure they play it up for the radio so whatever

About an hour and 53 in, Ricky stops and says "this isn't a radio show, is it?" and the extent to which he's right is the reason we all love it so much.
That laugh when he says hairy Chinese kid always makes me laugh out loud, been listening for years, these three years got me through some very Bleeker times, mad innit
For the chewing the fat origin, it turns out on the wikipedia page they actually cite Karl Pilkington. In how he propagated a hoax, the origin is still very uncertain.
@@daytonasayswhat9333 R u English? I think it's funnier to us because we used to play games when we were kids like "last one to run to the shop is a bender" or any reason to have a losing bender. Its an age thing too, my dad wouldnt find it funny, nor would my son, but it had me laughing.
It strikes me that while all 3 of these guys are funny and charming in their own way, the combination is much funnier than the sum of each of them. It's the interplay that makes it work - they each bring something that improves the other 2. It was lightning in a bottle for them to end up together on a little station in London and discover this magic
Unnecessary use of commas mate :) In the your sentence, the main body of what you’re saying is ‘it would be spiteful in a trifle’ and ‘to put jellyfish’ is additional contextual information that isn’t necessary to the main body.
The tomato and lead plates story seems very credible Even now, if you purchase a can of "tinned tomatoes", when you open then, you will notice that the "tin can" is LINED with a special plastic coating to prevent the acidity of the tomatoes from reacting with the metal of the can. Similar reason, you should not store vinegar in aluminium or copper containers, as the oxides will react to form acetates. Even stainless steel will eventually react in vinegar. Cooking with vinegar can be hazardous too if you add the vinegar FIRST to a hot pan as the heat evaporates off excess water and you start to get close to something called glacial acetic acid which is extremely corrosive. Regular vinegar is around 3% - 4% acetic acid. Once you even reach 10%, it becomes caustic enough to harm the mouth, vinegar chucked into a hot pan can give VERY high strength acetic acid. The fumes from this will also be something you never wish to inhale twice.
The tomato and lead thing is interesting and fits in with the history. Don't know why the other two were laughing in ignorance. KP often seems like the smartest of the three.
Karl missed a ton of fundamental schooling to the point where he stopped paying attention in primary/secondary school due to confusion… at best he has the education of the dumbest kid in 8th-9th grade
That whole tangent when they go onto "tattoo Stan" and "Jimmy the hat" between 2:04:00 and 2:07:00 and Ricky suddenly gets angry realising they're talking nonsense live on radio 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Do u know the saying "shut your face!" 😂😂😂
I love Ricky, don’t get me wrong. But sometimes, he likes to sound like he knows everything when he sounds stupid and Karl sounds smart. I’m not religious but Ricky is really arrogant about there being no God. It doesn’t make he seem smarter when he stops every mention of God saying that he believes in logic. But he still kills me with laughter so none of it matters. Cheers
By his usual low standards, Karl's not far off the mark with 'cold shoulder'. This idiom originated in the early 1800s. It is said that welcome visitors to a house were served a hot meal, but someone who was not welcome was given a cold shoulder of whatever meat was being eaten.
@@clebfelm4170 i admit the other two are more funny but steve is underrated and does make me laugh at times. Him and Russel Howard are really the only two from bristol so i gotta love him.
Steve’s stories are actually my favorite. I always thought he was the underrated one in this. His stories about swimming in the ocean and a giant wave taking off his prescription goggles and trunks at the same time always make me burst!
ive listened to these shows since the days when they were actually on the radio, i even have a couple official XFM tents leftover from a festival in 1999... and i'm convinced now that Karl is trolling ricky and steve the whole time and saying trigger words just to piss gervais off...and make humor out of his intolerance to stupidity
It shines through here and there, especially later into Rockbusters when Ricky makes Karl repeat the question. He throws in new ones on purpose to p him off. Especially the “buy it or not, I’m not bothered.
Ryan Stoker most of what Karl says is correct, and Ricky and Steve know that. It's just the WAY that he says it makes it sound like absolute dribble. "There was this bloke Hitler knockin' about ages ago..and that."
I remember that. Some scientist ate a tomato on the steps of the County Seat, I believe in Camden NJ, in the 1700s. He did not die and proved his point.
To burn the candle at both ends means to exhaust oneself by working too much, going to bed late and getting up early. When you burn the candle at both ends, you're living at a frenetic pace. The term burn the candle at both ends is derived from the French phrase Brusler la chandelle par les deux bouts. Coined around the beginning of the seventeenth century, the early meaning of burn the candle at both ends was to be a spendthrift, to be wasteful. Candles were expensive, and burning both ends of a candle used it up much faster. Eventually the candle in question came to symbolize one’s life force, and burning the candle at both ends meant to use of one’s life force too quickly, to exhaust oneself by working too much.

Karl Pilkington is one of THE very funniest men on this planet. He can make anything hilarious.
Pretty sure it's Ricky's laugh that makes everything funny
It definitely makes it funnier, but no-one's tuning in just to hear Ricky laugh
Have you seen his more recent uploads.
Without the laughter and mickey taking it's just not the same.

Me too.
Right there with ya, asseertedwolf.
Hope wherever you guys are you're doing well, and those of us still here, we got this
Same.
It's interesting to me that Ricky and Steve both say Karl can't pay attention, but Ricky loses interest in stuff so fast it's insane.
He's keeping the comedy flowing.
Ricky is brilliant, he gets so excited he can never finish his own
Probably my favorite compilation so far. Please keep them coming!
