*'''"It's because I like to be in a room with Karl Pilkington. Karl Pilkington is an ongoing experiment for me."''' -Ricky explains the reason for doing these "[[Bod|Bodcasts]]", which he has renamed in honour of Karl.
 
*But all this talk of podcasts and bodcasts has Karl feeling sceptical of human progress, prompting him to question the value of iPods, planes, vaccinations and television. Karl then laments the downside of life-saving medicine: over-crowding. However Karl has a solution to control the population, instead of sex, men and women live to 78 and just as they die, a baby comes out to continue the race. "You have a little baby inside you and as you die your life carries on." (1:39)
 
*Karl gets confused about history. Ricky and Steve conclude it's because he's thinking of The Flintstones, due to his being convinced that dinosaurs and cavemen coexisted. (9:34)


*Ricky and Steve take a break by advertising [[Extras]] and [[Flanimals]]. (12:37)


*'''Monkey News''': The story of a monkey astronaut who controlled a spaceship by taking commands via headphones, and pressing buttons in order to activate a “banana dispenser”. After the mission, the monkey wasn't allowed to go back into space and became depressed. The monkey eventually committed suicide. (13:38)


*Karl met [[Derek Acorah]] the other week and relays a ghost story about a cursed tankard that kills all who touches it. (19:50)


*Karl visits a friend who is house-sitting a dilapidated mansion. But when Karl visits, he finds that someone has “wroted” some strange notes. (24:59)
