Episode Description
The guys are just back from The Edinburgh Festival where Karl produced a show with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Steve blames Ricky for making him miss his plane back.
Ricky brings up Steve’s meanness with money, Steve wonders if it’s ok to give a homeless girl money if he fancies her. Karl relates several paranormal related stories told to him by Simon and Nick.
Karl talks about some scientists experimenting with a manhole cover and a nuclear bomb. He also gets excited about the creation of mammoths and warns us never to mix oysters and whiskey.
Ricky: Tell the story about the manhole cover.
Karl: Right in the same magazine as the one with the cat and the fire 'n that.
Steve: Don't tell me that story again it gives me the shivers.
Ricky: Yeah a cat that's got a weird expression on its face is against god.
Karl: Anyway this isn't a scary story this was just like physics, it was goin on about the nuclear bomb and how powerful it is, and they put a manhole cover on top of
one, blew it up, never saw the manhole cover again.
Ricky: (laughs out loud) What's going on there? Something weird is happenin there!
Steve: Now this will scare you, now Karl you will be a little bit unnerved by this, have you seen the film Jurassic Park, you know what happened there, well
according to The Sun scientists are about to clone mammoths for a theme park. Look at his face, he looks like a dog caught in the headlights of a car, he's terrified.
Ricky: I love Karl, is that the best news you could have?
Karl: Manmoths?
Ricky & Steve: (laugh out loud)
Ricky: Right, Karl, I love the fact that thats why he was was so excited that they've bred a manmoth, yeah it's a human being that hides in your wardrobe and eats
an entire jacket in a day. What do you mean manmoths? Mammoths! Mammoths, the big hairy cow from the ice age, I mean elephant.
Steve: You're not so excited about that then? You could take or leave bringing back mammoths to life, but a manmoth.
Ricky: A manmoth is a different matter. Oh if we'd have never brought that up he'd have gone and told someone now, "you know they've gone a bred a half man half moth",
and that's how things start. Are you slightly deaf? Is that why when you hear these stories you're slightly deaf.
Steve: Karl, is English your first language? Are you actually foreign?
Ricky: (laughs) When you say foreign you mean not of this planet.
