Coffee is a more interesting one imo. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to take the seeds out of some fruit, bake them, grind them then pour boiling water over them? Must have been mental

These are put together from podcasts which they initially gave out for free because they had no clue anyone would listen let alone pay for them. The audio would be bad.

Good episode! Think youve broke a personal record for pauses though🤣

Yes!! they should watch it 😁

I always understood what Karl means by “you’re unsure if you’re well or not” before I was medicated for depression I didn’t quite realise how severe it was. It was my norm. Once I was prescribed the right meds I felt so much better and didn’t know I could feel like that ever.
Kayleigh
I love the logic of “don’t bathe so other people avoid you, then you’ll avoid catching colds and flus” lmao
Right Said Brett
There's a Black Mirror episode which deals with the concept.
Megatron
Indeed! 😁

Did anyone else catch the quadriplegic man called Bob?!!
Julian
There is a movie about this very subject starring Helen Hunt and John Hawkes, called The Sessions. She was a professional sex surrogate and helps a disabled man lose his virginity.

Turkey Twizzlers- the arch enemy of Jamie Oliver. They are pretty much a twisty turkey sausage with a tomato flavoured coating. He got them banned for being unhealthy by his standards when he went on a rampage against school dinners about 20 years ago. They brought them back again after like 15 years but they were awful now and completely different. They lasted a few years before being ditched again

The actual Einstein quote is "If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it"

the doctor thing is an episode in the show black mirror. ( a show about the dangers of technology )

Karl is so smart, the problem is just the way he expresses his ideas!😅 The machine idea is him musing about the real problem of pain subjectivity.
Emma Edwards
I vaguely remember watching a programme about a sex therapist who helps disabled people to have orgasms. She would go to their house with a variety of toys and explain how to use them!
James Ellison
Same, I also used to have that freak book, i think it came with FHM. I wish i’d kept it now.
Col Boro
You’re right Jess he is saying two different things one you need to have germs in your body so you learn to fight them off but also she didn’t come in contact with germs no one would sit near her
Col Boro
I’ve been obsessed with Karl from the moments I bought ricky gervais stand up politics DVD and first met karl on there it’s the one you’ve watched with the freak book
Mark R
Karl always comes up with some of the most wildest ideas and thoughts. He's hilarious 🤣
Neil M
Black mirror took a few of Karl's ideas
Jamie
That one is pretty self evident as we see that other animals drink it, and we pruduce it, so not a massive stretch really.
TheHigh
once again , Karl has a black mirror rant :D
Mark Rudd
Sorry, last comment haha. I’m drunk 🙈😆 but MIKE!! That was genuinely beautiful what you said. There’s no rainbow 🌈 with out the 🌧️
Mark Rudd
Jesse’s eyes when riciey said “Jesus is in my co*k”🤣🤣 that didn’t go unnoticed hahaha
Mark Rudd
Karl’s whole point about the machine what lets the doctor know how you’re feeling, is all based around that old saying, “I wish you knew what it felt like” haha. He wants others to feel what he’s feeling and hope for them to say, yeh that’s not good 😆
RegenerationNationTV
The Moaning of Life starts up soon in our Sunday slot 😉
Mark Rudd
Karl tried to say that, Sandra was so scruffy that the germs wouldn’t come near her 😆 what he actually meant was, Sandra was so scruffy that people didn’t go near her so she didn’t pick up germs from other people basically 😆brilliantly thinking outside of the box
RegenerationNationTV
I see you Mark 😉👍
Mark Rudd
Both amazing as they pick up on different things aswell as the sense things haha. The first channel I’ve ever joined. Because they’re so likeable and actually get what’s going on. Plus, I wanna see Mike become Del Boy 😀😀
Mark Rudd
I’m also really sorry for my previous comment , saying this “medicine” is one of my favourite episodes haha. I know some people might cry and call it a spoiler for me pointing out this is one of my top 3 episodes 😆 love all your reactions. Not to spoil anything but, I hope you watch the outtakes:making the inbetweeners movie. Sorry if I’ve spoilt anything for anyone 😆😆❤️
TheHigh
my god patreon is one of the worst sites ever tech wise , i really hope they make next to nothing from our subs and the majority goes to you guys as they are not investing anything to make this site better... so many bugs! , took me 3 days to get re subbed with a different card , now I've been kicked out of all chats , what a great feature. hope you are well M&J ✌️💙 on the brightside i now have 3 hrs of mike and jess reactions to catch up on :)
Dannythedoodle
We shoulda kept shit how it was
AWR93
You’ll lose that too if you keep sticking it up there 🤣🤣
Mark Rudd
Yayyyy just coming home at 2am. Cant wait to watch this haha.
Daniel Cooper-O'Reilly
Hi. Does my sprained ankle qualify me for a slap on the ass from Mike? 👀😉
Jaxon's Jerseys
Karl speaks: Mike - yeah I get this Jess - wtf? It's what makes the channel so fun 😊😊
Simon Cross
My late Mum worked with people who suffered from Multiple Sclerosis back in the 80's, and she, and others in the hospice were trained to use special hoists to enable residents to have sexual intercourse. It was all done with as much diginty as possible and allowed people who had that terrible condition to still enjoy sex. I think that's great and is a big fuck you! to MS.

How are stem-cells harvested again ? I'll pass on that one til there's some other way.
Neil
Please please please keep something Karl Pilkington related in your reaction line up. Love this.
William
Karl pilkington is Charlie Brooker. He wrote all the black mirror episodes.
zStarr
Alright
William
I'm more interested in how milk from an animal was first discovered. What was the person that discovered it doing and how did that conversation go when they first shared the information.
James Welsh
Oh comr on, its friday night, im.out drinking and very drunk..... cant watch until.2moz now 😭😭😭 Love you all (community) ✌️😎😇
Karlos
I don't think you've fully understood that bit. Obviously you know this is 25 ish years old, and Ricky was vaccinated during the pandemic and encouraged others to be. They're spreading no misinformation whatsoever (except Karl), everything Ricky or Steve says is common sense. The point of Karl is that he says ridiculous things like 'Babies being drugged up to the eyeballs'.. you're not meant to take it as health advice. He's got a head like a fucking orange.
zenting
Oh dear - RG & crew spreading vaccine misinformation. Vaccines are not psychoactive (so babies are not "drugged out of their eyeballs"). Also, the vaccines exercise the immune system (in virtually the same way as the actual disease would) without the need for the infant to have to suffer from and survive the real illness. I know it's comedy, but it annoys me when one of mankind's greatest medical advances is denigrated by simple minded fools.
Jay Nicholls
Great reaction you guys are great ..just saying x
