"It's about bein' 'appy, innit" always strikes a chord with me. I was stuck in a job I hated for years. If I could afford to, I'd happily be a Dog-Walker.
This is exactly what I did. When covid hit, the company I'd worked at for 15 years put everyone on furlough and then made us all redundant at the end of the furlough period. The thought of going back into a similar spirit crushing job i'd done for 15 years made me feel physically sick. I used some of my redundancy money to start up my own dog walking business. Been doing it for 4 years now and I've never been happier. I'm earning more than I was before, working less hours and not working weekends. The dogs make me laugh and smile every day and I can take my own dog to work with me. Even the cold, wet and grey days are so much more preferable to my old job.
I was stuck in a situation for 2 years where a neighbour kept me from sleeping in various ways, ringing ambulances, the police, etc but not going down to the shared hallway to see them, spending time in the shared hallway outside my door loudly describing how he would kill me, ripped his smoke detector off hits ceiling so the alarm panel outside my door brief beeped every 10 seconds for 3 months.
I like how everyone who reacts to Karl always starts out really analytical of everything he says and normally before the diary is introduced they absolutely love him
Interesting fact - it was not Plato that dies due to being hit by an egg, but rather Aeschylus. An eagle had caught a tortoise and mistakes Aeschylus’ head for a rock suitable for cracking the shell of the tortoise.. and that’s how he died. Plato allegedly died in his sleep, at a wedding feast, or because of lice.. depending on what you read
Pliny the Elder says additionally that Aeschylus had been staying outdoors to avert a prophecy that he would be killed that day "by the fall of a house".
Love your reactions to our English humour !!!.. I was at Ricky Gervais show in my home city of Liverpool last night , brilliant as usual.... So glad your doing the Idiot Abroad series now aswell,, make sure you do them all 1!!!!!!!!!!!
My son has been ill for 2 weeks and in the hospital the last 4 days- this video release put a smile on my face, something I wouldn’t normally say about a UA-cam video but I actually look forward to these, so in a way you brought a smile to my face in a dark time, so yeah.. cheers for that 😊
@@darkjudge8786 Yeah I very much doubt you have seen my user ID in other videos claiming any kind of calamity. If so .. prove it. Just ONE video.. you go find one and report back.. I’ll wait
@@XTCsheps what an absolutely vile cretin. What a cuntish comment. I could not give a flying fuck about your opinion.

Great reaction! I've legit watched this series 100 times start to finish, never gets old! It still makes me laugh as if it's the first time I've seen it...
Plato’s death is somewhat mysterious, ancient accounts differ regarding the manner in which he died. The most commonly accepted story is that he died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 80 (around 347 BC), in Athens. The Greek philosopher Anaxagoras (pre-Socratic) is sometimes said to have died when a stone fell on his head.
It's fun to watch you see or hear them for the first time😊 it reminds me myself and history😂 I used to listen to them all the time walking and people always look at me when I almost cry laughing
The town I'm from in the UK Northampton was once famous for making shoes it's made them for royalty and celebrities and their football teams nickname is The Cobblers.
Has regards "the stitches" you were quite correct Jesse. It does mean that by not leaving the garment in this case (for too long) to repair, it would need less work to do
I’m a DEFINITE people watcher - I have a congenital heart condition, 6 operations, and so can’t work. One of the reasons we bought the house we did is because our living room looks right down the street 😃😃😃😃😃
A stitch in time saves nine basically means do the small task or repair now because if you leave it, it will worsen and you end up with a bigger job/repair to do in the long run. If the seam of a top is starting to come undone, best to stitch then rather than leave it alone and then deal with a whole seam that comes undone later.
We used to do the 2 TV thing for a little while back in the 90s. We had a big one with no sound and a little portable TV on top for the sound till we could get a new one 😅 ive known a couple of people whove done same back then
2 things I want to mention - 1. Stay tuned to 'Idiot Abroad' on the end of the first series when Karl comes home, following the Alaska episode, and has a debrief with Ricky and Steve. The 'prostate conversation' raises its head again. 2. Karl's style of humour is a type of 'playing devils' advocate' when you challenge accepted norms by applying an alternative logic, which can often sound stupid, but sometimes reveals a hidden, often ignored quandry. If you do this with a straight face and maintain that position under questionning, it provides a great piece of comedy. Karl isn't a fool, but adopts this approach for the sake of the dynamic with Ricky and Steve, and is typical for someone to occasionally do this for humourous effect to 'wind-up' mates. To do this in a dead-pan way is the key to get observers to 'bite, and buy-in', and to the unaware not in on the joke makes you look 'stupid' - that's the key to Karl's persona, and provides these comedy gems. This dynamic was discovered as Karl produced Ricky and Steve's radio show (on XFM radio staion) - hence his former Head Producer job - and is something Ricky and Steve identified as comedy gold.
Loving that you’re reacting to Ricky, I’m begging that you take a look at his Netflix series After Life, obviously if you are allowed to. This is his best TV ever, a show that can have you howling with laughter at inappropriate funny scenes one minute then crying like a baby at some incredibly sad & poignant storylines. One minute he’s calling a child a fat ugly ginger c**t the next he’s contemplating suicide because his wife has died of cancer. It’s absolutely beautiful TV
You both are realising why Carl is so smart. He thinks for himself and isn’t interested in what anyone else thinks. I’m 50 and it took me many years to learn how to be independent in my thoughts.
28:50 This is so alien to hear, living in the UK I have never ever even thought about "Pharma industry". If we need medicine the doctor just precribes it, most of the time I dont have a clue who makes the drugs. I have to take Levothyroxine as I had my Thyroid removed, and I dont have to pay for my prescription because i need it to live.
Yea it's obvious you don't get it. Here doctors prescribe medicine, we go to the pharmacy (or alchemist you all may call it. I don't know. My wife is an Aussie and thats what she called it before she came here) and we pick it up. So before you say anything from your national Healthcare high horse, the pharmaceutical industry is an international problem. They work with insurance companies, the NIH of every country that has socialized healthcare, the WHO, etc. to maximize profits by withholding testing and research or standardize medication prices to maximize profits. For example I live in the US and pay $4.00 for any prescription.
Once again Karl has heard a story from history, and butchered it almost beyond recognition. Replace Plato with the Greek playwright Aeschylus, replace the giant bird with a Lammagyar Eagle, and replace the egg with a fully grown Tortoise, and the Lammagyars trick of dropping it's food more commonly animal bones, but occasionally Tortoises onto rocks to split them open, and you have the story of how Aeschylus died.
One of my favourite moments in all the podcasts is when we hear Karls butchering of information work in real time. "so there's this flea that doesn't like the shade"
@@nicksykes4575 Aaahhh, that's why it made an image of a bearded vulture appear in my head when I read it. In Danish, my native language, it's called 'lammegrib' ('lamb vulture'), but the eagle thing confused me, and google wasn't really being helpful, so thanks for clarifying :)
Regarding Mike's introspection for how fame doesn't solve issues, it reminds me of Bo Burnham's lyric "Come and watch the skinny kid with a steadily declining mental health and laugh as he attempts to give you what he cannot give himself." He got famous, loves the attention, but hates it in equal measure. It didn't solve his issues, it just made them more extreme.
Empire of the sun , we are the people ❤ love and peace to you and fam , stick together across the world ignore the hater’s because they will never win.
Why do they say a stitch in time saves nine? It's first recorded in a book way back in 1723 and it's a sewing reference. The idea is that sewing up a small rip with one stitch means the tear is less likely to get bigger, and need more - or, well, nine - stitches later on.
Have you considered a raccoon to “the inbetweeners”? It’s a cult classic in the Uk and incredibly funny if not bordering on the line almost every episode 😂
😂😂😂 no I’m gonna stick with raccoon.. I’m own my mistakes and I’m gonna stand by my epic failure and own it 😂😂 That being said.. I wouldn’t be opposed to a reaction either
I love people watching. On holiday once on Crete with a mate , we would sit outside drinking in a village square . And I’d make up stories about the locals. I do remember one of them was the child catcher, it was fun
19:00 The real mystery to me is how Karl ever got a big head of production job _ANYWHERE,_ maybe he's some kind of savant. Just kind of daft overall, but hyperspecialized at running a radio station.
I don't think he was a big head of production!he was a producer on XFM London radio station where he met Steve & ricky.they were previously on XFM but I believe got sacked,then went on to make the office.they were asked to go back on a Saturday 1-3 show,where they just chatted & played music.Karl managed to get Monday's off just by doing the 2 hour saturdays.they did the radio show for a couple of years,Karl resigned,then they did the free podcast.& Luckily for us Ricky created idiot abroad,derek,moaning of life,afterlife,extras
It is interesting to ask apparently stupid questions because it opens up opinion and conversation so it isn’t at all stupid and can make you more satisfied with your life.
Am I right in thinking us health insurance is a bit like pet insurance in the uk , for instance if you’re dog has a recorded medical condition. Insurance is costlier?
I felt the US Pharmaceutical issue even 10 years ago, in the UK a box of paracetamol costs about 50p - £1 and when I went for some in the US it cost me the equivalent of £10 (in dollars) for a box half the size, I can't imagine how much they would cost these days
Karl is probably getting Plato mixed up with Aeschylus the ancient tragedy playwright who died from an eagle dropping a tortoise on his bald head thinking it was a rock because eagles do that sometimes to crack the shell open
I don't know why they didn't correct Karl when he talked about "popping a camera up". A camera would only see the inside of the bowel. That's no good. It's not about seeing, it's about feeling, i.e the size and shape of the prostate, through the wall of the bowel. Which is why it takes the finger of a trained person and not something without sensation, like a stick. Anyway, they aren't done with Karl on this matter... 😅
My grandad was a cobbler. Any time I needed my shoes fixing, I'd go to him and he would fix em. Usually the sole coming off. He had a tin of super thick shoe glue he was just smother the sole in and stick it back down
The net knows nothing of Plato kicking the bucket due to an egg landing on his head, there are a few different reasons presented but non are egg related. Muckfee Karl where do you get this stuff from? Maybe he is confusing Plato with Aeschylus In 458 BC, Aeschylus returned to Sicily for the last time, visiting the city of Gela, where he died in 456 or 455 BC. Valerius Maximus wrote that he was killed outside the city by a tortoise dropped by an eagle which had mistaken his head for a rock suitable for shattering the shell, and killed him.[26] Pliny, in his Naturalis Historiæ, adds that Aeschylus had been staying outdoors to avoid a prophecy that he would be killed by a falling object,[26][27] but this story may be legendary and due to a misunderstanding of the iconography on Aeschylus' tomb.[28] Aeschylus' work was so respected by the Athenians that after his death his tragedies were the only ones allowed to be restaged in subsequent competitions.[11] His sons Euphorion and Euæon and his nephew Philocles also became playwrights.[
That is the most plausible reason for Karl's jumbled stories,accounts of tortoises being dropped in order to get to the flesh by predators are far more widespread than eggs being dropped 'to let the kids out'! He clearly reads a strap line of a story and goes on to embellish the rest of the contents.
Many years ago I saw birds, large ones as I remember so probably eagles, on a tv nature program doing just that. Pretty sure it was tortoises. Something in a shell anyway.
I’m on the countdown to Karl’s diary 😂

Hi Guys when are you finally going to check out the double act of Karl Pilkington and Warwick Davis they are hilarious Together.
Sounds like Karl's uncle was a bit of a "Noah it all."
Plato didn't die from a bird dropping an egg on his head. There was a Greek called Aeschylus who died from an eagle dropping a tortoise on his head.
19:00 The real mystery to me is how Karl ever got a big head of production job _ANYWHERE,_ maybe he's some kind of savant.
Just kind of daft overall, but hyperspecialized at running a radio station.
I don't think he was a big head of production!he was a producer on XFM London radio station where he met Steve & ricky.they were previously on XFM but I believe got sacked,then went on to make the office.they were asked to go back on a Saturday 1-3 show,where they just chatted & played music.Karl managed to get Monday's off just by doing the 2 hour saturdays.they did the radio show for a couple of years,Karl resigned,then they did the free podcast.& Luckily for us Ricky created idiot abroad,derek,moaning of life,afterlife,extras

Which is why it takes the finger of a trained person and not something without sensation, like a stick. Anyway, they aren't done with Karl on this matter... 😅
My grandad was a cobbler. Any time I needed my shoes fixing, I'd go to him and he would fix em. Usually the sole coming off. He had a tin of super thick shoe glue he was just smother the sole in and stick it back down
Did he ever 'pimp' them up?🤣👍

On the topic of your healthcare story did you record this before the CEO shooting? 👀
The net knows nothing of Plato kicking the bucket due to an egg landing on his head, there are a few different reasons presented but non are egg related.
Muckfee Karl where do you get this stuff from?
Maybe he is confusing Plato with Aeschylus
In 458 BC, Aeschylus returned to Sicily for the last time, visiting the city of Gela, where he died in 456 or 455 BC. Valerius Maximus wrote that he was killed outside the city by a tortoise dropped by an eagle which had mistaken his head for a rock suitable for shattering the shell, and killed him.[26] Pliny, in his Naturalis Historiæ, adds that Aeschylus had been staying outdoors to avoid a prophecy that he would be killed by a falling object,[26][27] but this story may be legendary and due to a misunderstanding of the iconography on Aeschylus' tomb.[28] Aeschylus' work was so respected by the Athenians that after his death his tragedies were the only ones allowed to be restaged in subsequent competitions.[11] His sons Euphorion and Euæon and his nephew Philocles also became playwrights.[
That is the most plausible reason for Karl's jumbled stories,accounts of tortoises being dropped in order to get to the flesh by predators are far more widespread than eggs being dropped 'to let the kids out'! He clearly reads a strap line of a story and goes on to embellish the rest of the contents.
Many years ago I saw birds, large ones as I remember so probably eagles, on a tv nature program doing just that. Pretty sure it was tortoises. Something in a shell anyway.
Have you considered reacting to Peep Show?
