Go on, then. Back-announce it, Karl, it’s yours. Go on.
That’s, err, Mark B & Blade there, with a bootleg.
And what’s it called, you called it summat, haven’t you… you cleverly called it something. What did you call it?
Errm…
Sheet of paper rustles
Ha!
'Nick This Record One More Time.'
Good. Very good.
Karl Perking… Pilkington there breaking all kinds of copyright rules.
Now… coming up we’re gonna be talking a little bit of Feng Shui, the art of moving things around so it’s better.
The ancient Oriental art of rearranging your living room.
Yeah.
Haha
The ancient art of don’t sit near a window…
Hehehehaha... Exactly.
…’cos you won’t get any money for it.
Hahahe… Hehe...
And we’ve got a li - we’ve got a book…
We’ll we’ve been exploring Feng Shui for our own amusement.
Yeah. Yeah. And uh we’re gonna be reading some, err, great things.
This is just good ad… good solid Feng Shui advice for…
I mean, what do you need to know? I mean, just keep those questions coming to us… if you have any questions for Karl, don’t forget, that’s an ongoing thing. Anything in the world, any question, personal problems, philosophies on li… it can be out of the… just ask Karl, if you want, you know, just ask Karl… Okay? All right? Karl, you’re up for that, aren’t ya?
Yeah.. that’s alright.
And you’ll give your honest opinion, won’t ya… always.
Yep.
Yeah.
Should we give away, err, Doh Nutters?
Oh it’s, it’s wo…it’s been won. Who’s won it Karl?
Scott, erm… Hammond.
Well done.
Well done, Scott.
He’ll be loving that. He’s probably gonna have a party especially to play Doh Nutters.
We’ve had a number of right answers but I’m afraid Scott’s the winner, and the question of course was which famous American comedian was heavily involved in the production of the film, ‘The Elephant Man.’ It was of course Mel Brooks.
Surprising.
And err he’s got a company called Brooks Films…
Our first, err… first person that called in, I think was a bit confused, he said, ‘Is it testicle, testicles?’
Yeah. Yep.
He went, ‘What?’ … He went... he said, ‘Testicles?’
What was that illness years ago, right?
(chuckling) Hehe...
There was, erm, a couple of lads at our school...
Oh yeah.
...had really big heads.
(chuckling)
Right.
And webbed fingers.
And webbed fingers?
And…
Sorry, wait a minute. Were the… hold on, did you find them in a pond, did they used to be little tadpoles?
Karl, you’re not confusing your past with an old episode of ‘Dr. Who,’ are you?
HAHAHA!
What were they called, these two?
Awww, I can't… I didn’t mix with them.
Yeah.
It was just like…
‘Course not.
…there was a… nobody thought anything of it at school ‘cause it was like…
No. Sure.
…we were used to it…
Yeah! It’s the north.
There goes the creature from the black lagoon again.
Yeah, yeah! He’s late…
He’s brilliant at trigonometry.
He’s late for double maths.
Yeah.
But, erm… yeah, I didn’t think anything of it.
What is it called? What is the disease called where two fellas - are they…
Not even related.
Rubbish!
Not related.
There’s… were you near a nuclear power station when you were growing up?
Yeah.
You weren’t really?
Yeah.
(whispering) God, that explains some…
It’s just got a bit heavy.
Maybe that’s it.
Hey, talking of err, enormous heads…
Yeah.
You were at the uh the ‘Pop Idol’ final, weren’t you, Rick, you went in there just ‘cause you, obviously Rick’s a huge fan of ‘Pop Idol,’ he really wanted to be there, he wanted to give it support.
Quite seriously, there was no irony there, we were having a great time…
Yeah, he genuinely is a fan of it. And erm, he was, you sort of had photos taken with various people…
Yeah, of course.
…’cos you were a bit drunk and you wanted to have a memento of it, there’s a picture of you with fat man Rik Waller.
Yeah, yeah.
But the best one is a picture of Ricky and his girlfriend with Dr. Fox. Whose head…
Is twice the size of mine.
Of any other head, it’s quite remarkable, I don’t know how he…
He’s a lovely bloke, and it was really nice to meet him and everything, but in the… he’s got, he looks like… an immaculate tan and he’s always happy, and he’s, you know, he’s really good…
It looks in the picture, it looks like someone you might see in a carnival who’s built a huge papier mâché head.
Haha…
It’s more like Frank Sidebottom just walking down the road. It’s just incredible.
Dr. Fox didn’t used to go to your school, did he, used to hang around with a mate, they were great swimmers.
Haha
They were brilliant swimmers. Oh God.
Have we got another song lined up?
Yeah. What were you gonna play?
Bit of Pharoahe Monch.
Bit of who?
Pharoahe Monch.
Let’s hear it...
