Steve is upset that the Guardian got his name wrong, repeatedly quoting his name as Stephen Mitchell. Steve has also been doing some stunt work during the week and Karl recalls several near death experiences.

Apparently worms love the smell of bacon and Karl might die of cancer coz he doesn’t check his balls. Karl believes an urban myth related to the moon landings which didn’t really happen anyway.

Karl dispels any worries about global warming and suggests chopping the Queen Mother into pieces. He also talks about his dad's experiences with "the Forrest Gump types".

Worms

Ricky: So me and Karl went out for a beer and it was great wasn't it? Karl: Yeah I enjoyed me'self. Ricky: And you meet my mate Robin didn't ya? Karl: Yeah. Ricky: Do you wanna tell Steve some things about Robin that you learnt? Karl: Do you know him well? Steve: Yes. Karl: Well do you know about his worm problem as a kid? Steve: Go on. Karl: Right, all I can remember is he had worms as a kid, not sure how you get 'em, he never answered me, he was gettin a bit touchy about it, this is like the second time I met him and I think he was a bit annoyed that Ricky told me about his problem. Ricky: Now straight away you not being there instinctively what do you think went on with this story about Robin. Steve: My suspicion is rather like when you told a group of people that Robin had once suckled milk from a cow's udder. Ricky: (laughs) Yeah. Karl: He told me that. Steve: Yeah, did he mention that as well? Karl: Yeah. Steve: My suspicion is like the cow story the worm story is not true. Karl: Why would he get so uppity about it? Steve: Imagine if that wasn't the first time he had done it, imagine if he done it every single time he was with somebody for the first time and Robin had just met them, he will tell that story to anyone. Karl: But they do say there's no smoke without fire. Ricky: (laughs) Poor Robin, I also told him that the way Robin cured these worms was because the doctor told his mother to hold a piece of ham or cheese near Robin's anus so the worms would come out for the food and he believed it. I said that Robin used to sit on spam to try and get the worms out and he believed it. Karl: But Steve do you remember that story about three or four years ago when there was some bloke in the army, he went away to somewhere, Vietnam or whatever, he was messin about in the woods... Ricky: (laughs) Messin about in the woods! Steve: Shouldn't he have been fighting? Karl: Whatever, right and he walked through some lake and I think he cut his toe or somethin on somethin and some worm, some sort, crawled in the gash and it was in his body and the doctors said we gotta get this out of your body, so what they did was they said right the thinnest part of somethin, of your body that things can crawl through is on the top of your 'ead... Ricky: Where the skull is... Karl: So they wrapped some bacon... Ricky: (laughs out loud) No they didn't! Karl: They did! Ricky: Oh right so it's gone in via the toe so what we'll do is, I tell you what that worm is probably heading straight for the head, we'll put a bit of bacon on it, the thinnest part of the body is the skull? Of course its not the thinnest part of the body, it's where your brain case isn't it, it's the hardest, the skull! Karl: There was a reason for it, and it was like they stuck some bacon on his 'ead... Steve: As ever the vital piece of information, i.e the reason, Karl seems to have forgotton. Karl: Because the worm was in his body and they said "you know everyone likes the smell of bacon". Ricky: (laughs out loud) Even the worm! Even a Vietnamese lake worm! Steve: They love bacon.

Forrest Gump

Ricky: Karl tell that story that you were telling me about your dad. Karl: Its just that you were talking about, well I mentioned Forrest Gump and the Forrest Gump types, when me dad was a taxi driver he used to have to do your bit for the local area by taking the Forrest Gump people to Blackpool. Steve: Is that what they're called now, the Forrest Gump people, is that what the organisations that support them ask for them to be referred to as? Ricky: (laughs out loud) A mini bus with "life-is-a-box-of-chocolates.com". So he worked with these people, people with learning difficulties, coming home must've been a busman's holiday. Karl: So he got five of them in the cab and he had to go to Blackpool, and four of them were really good, you know behavin themselves, didn't mess about, weren't fightin and stuff but there was one who was just causing loads of trouble and he couldn't control him, and what you've got to be able to do with people like that you don't want them to get stressed out coz it's not good for them, it stresses them out and you... Steve: Thanks Doctor Karl. Karl: You could end up with a bit of a riot on your hands. Steve & Ricky: (laugh out loud) Karl: So he thought i'll nip this one in the bud right now and he pulled up just on the outskirts of Blackpool and he took the one out that was causing problems, and put it in a wheelie bin. Steve & Ricky: (laugh out loud) Ricky: Oh no, I'm sorry, I apologise. Steve: He did what? Karl: He did it for the good of the others, he put it in a wheelie bin, it was havin a good time, it thought it was one of the rides. Ricky: Can you stop saying it. Karl: Him, you know he was havin a good time and once he calmed down me dad went back and picked him up and he was fine. Steve: What he left him in there the whole time the others were in Blackpool? Karl: No, he left him there not the whole day probably about an hour and a half. Ricky: In a wheelie bin! Karl: In a wheelie bin. Ricky: Why couldn't he get out? Karl: Because like his arms were trapped in the thing. Steve: What he tied him up? Karl: No, d'you know like when, coz he was a big fella and he managed to get him in so his arms were down the side like that so he was a bit trapped. Steve: Wasn't he screaming and crying and stuff? Karl: He was makin a bit of noise, but d'you know what I mean? Steve: What you feel serves him right? Karl: Well but anyway I didn't really wanna talk about it, you just brought it up coz of the Forrest Gump. Steve: Do his family know about this? Is this the first time they would have heard about this? Karl: He didn't get asked to do it again.
