An important show that sees the first mention of the [[Infinite monkey theorem]], and the first appearance of the  
little Jamaican fella(s) in [[Rockbusters]]. The [[Karl In A Film|film clip]] this week is The  
Graduate.


Around halfway through, Karl is particularly harsh about Steve's appearance, spending habits, and lack of success with women in the following exchange prompted by a Richard Anderson email. Ricky starts by indirectly calling Steve a "goggle-eyed freak".
==Track Listing==


Karl: I was thinking about that actually, Steve.
====1. '''More Features Than Karl Has on His Face'''  ''(0:00:00)'' ====
Ricky begins the show by comparing Karl to [[Morph]]. He tells the features line up which includes [[Rockbusters]],
[[Karl in a Film]], and [[Chimpanzee That!|Monkey News]] (as it was called then).


Steve: Oh, God...
====2. '''Michael Jackson's Hands'''  ''(0:01:40)''====
Ricky wants Karl to go straight into it because he has nothing to say. Steve puts him on hold though, to discuss
Karl's thoughts on Martin Bashir's Michael Jackson documentry. Karl main issue with Michael was the size of his
hands, and to Steve's surprise, Ricky agrees. Ricky tip toes into libelist territory using the term "tranny".  
Further discussion on the documentary ensues. Karl switches the subject to a show featuring Siamese twins that blew
his mind. The twins were connected at the forehead. Karl speculates and lists questions he would've asked, like
"How would you buy her a birthday present?"


Karl: Just talkin' of... of the old, uh...
====3. '''We're Not Taking the Mickey'''  ''(0:08:11)''====
Karl is still buzzing about the conjoined twins. The discussion continues about the twins' careers. Ricky thinks
they are called Molly and Dolly but Steve insists one was named Reba. Karl thinks they should act more like a duo.  
Karl swears one said she was adopted, which launches Steve and Ricky into a roleplay of an adopting parent and an
orphanage owner.


Ricky: What?
====4. '''The Newest Quiz in Town'''    ''(0:11:50)''====
Karl's Film feature is introduced by Ricky. This week it's ''The Graduate''. Karl ]brings up the two big-headed
web-handed kids and the shape of his head in the skit. The prize for the quiz is a VHS copy of ''The Graduate''
(Karl had to get it himself). Karl thinks it's not worth having on DVD because it's an old film.


Steve (angry): What? Talking of the what?
====5. '''Throw Away Prizes'''  ''(0:16:25)'' ====
Ricky and Steve continue to prod Karl over not getting the DVD. Ricky demands he get the DVD for the prize despite
being 18 quid.


Karl: No. D'you know like...
====6. '''Have They Read Shakespeare?'''  ''(0:18:15)''====
Ricky whinges more about the prizes. Karl brings up a debate he and Steve had early about the [[infinite monkey
theorem|Infinite monkey theorem]]. Ricky adamantly defends infinity, but Karl is not having it. He believe that
multiple monkeys wouldn't be on the same page, one monkey would know what he did in the past. Ricky begins to get
upset and howls at Karl.


Ricky: This better be good.
====7. '''You Do Me Head In'''  ''(0:22:53)''====
Someone e-mails in to defend Karl, but misses Karl's point. Ricky continues to attempt to explain the theorem. Karl
resorts to saying how stressed out he is and how much Ricky annoys him. Karl begins besmirching the names of
Einstein and Newton saying that they're not that good. The origin of the monkey discussion lies in the fact that
Noel Gallagher saying he would have been the greatest song writer if he had done ''Wonderwall'' before the Beatles
came about. Karl launches into a bizarre tirade about locking kids in a room by themselves and then one day putting
a guitar next to the bed. Eventually one would pick it up and start strumming and would eventually write ''Hey Jude''. Karl ties this to the monkey theorem which causes Ricky to leave the room.


Karl: No, you don't have that many girlfriends and that.
====8. '''Two Guys and a Buffoon in a Room'''  ''(0:29:09)''====
A fan e-mails in that the monkeys would type "Karl Pilkington is a genius." an infinite number of times. Ol'
[[Richard Anderson]] has e-mailed in with some constructive criticism too. Ricky calls Steve a goggled-eyed freak
and Karl latches on. He inquires what Steve does for Valentine's Day. Is he happy that he doesn't have to spend any
money or does he wish he had a girlfriend?


Ricky: What do you mean?
====9. '''Karl in a Seductive Environment'''  ''(0:33:46)''====
Karl replays ''The Graduate'' clip before a winner is announced. Ricky thinks ''E.T.'' would be good for next time.


Steve: Karl, why are we on this? I was defending you in the whole monkey discussion. Come on, what's your point?
====10. '''That's Terrifying!'''  ''(0:37:11)''====
The fans want [[Rockbusters]], so Karl is permitted to continue with it. Steve mentions the [[usual tat]] and a
[[White Stripes|The White Stripes]] single for prizes. Karl takes it away. Ricky and Steve find themselves upset
and confused at Karl's sound effect Rockbuster.


Karl (over Steve): Nah, leave it.
====11. '''How Have You Lived This Long?'''  ''(0:42:15)''====
Ricky and Steve try to nickname Karl "Pilikton". Karl says a lad named Mark used to call him this. Mark's mom
wouldn't let Karl inside the house, so Karl had to stand outside his bedroom window and play video games.
Apparently, Mark's mom was obsessed with cleanliness. In return for video game playing, Mark would get pies from
Karl's mum.


Ricky: No, what's the point, what's your point?
====12. '''17th Century?'''  ''(0:46:30)''====
Ricky was screaming during the track much to the dismay of Steve and Karl. Ricky introduces [[Monkey News]] (and
starts calling it Monkey News). This week it's about a monkey/chimpanzee going around Hackney nicking DVDs. Karl is
puzzled by the fact that they took fingerprints despite knowing it was a monkey. Karl concludes there are multiple
monkeys stealing. Karl gives a bonus monkey news about a monkey getting onto buses and reading the paper.


Karl: I was just thinking...
====12. '''De Trout Spinners'''  ''(0:50:45)''====
The monkey in Hackney is confirmed and Karl is chuffed. Rockbusters is a failure; no one even attempted to answer all three. Ricky scolds Karl and threatens to bin it. After the answers, Ricky is rendered speechless.


Steve: If there was an infinite number of Steves?
==Quotes==

Karl: You know you're an odd looking fella.
