Karl Pilkington - Educating Ricky (Complete)

I want a podcast with 2 legitimately smart people that ridicule Ricky the way that he does Karl.

[@liquidsnake6879]

They couldn't unless Ricky wanted them to, Ricky is highly educated believe it or not, studied philosophy and graduated with upper second-class honours. For you to make Ricky out of his element you'd need to complicate the discussion so much that nobody else listening would understand it either nullifying the effect and making the speakers sound pretentious. It's also not that Karl is dumb it's that he's childlike and naive, that he actually sees something about human monkeys and believes it's real just because of a picture of a hairy child next to it, that he doesn't question things and just takes it at face value and ofc that he's not very politically correct and says things most people wouldn't

[@Grimmers]

Ricky is intelligence without wisdom, Karl is wisdom without intelligence.

[@Shadow_Of_Man]

@@liquidsnake6879 I think tbh you're giving Ricky far too much credit. A 2:1 is not exactly groundbreaking to get at all, it's the equivalent to getting 60% minimum marks which in most cases isn't a challenge for someone who is getting into uni. I say this because I'm on track for a 2:1 atm and barely put any effort into assessments. As well as all that (and from my listening experience), I think honestly the majority of the time what Karl is saying isn't necessarily wrong (less so with these stories but with his random thoughts and such), he just can't word it properly. What Ricky then does is get wrapped up in the phrasing and have a go at Karl on that basis, and equally as often Ricky is completely wrong anyway!

[@Al-Hunt-acrylic-painter]

There is a law in America that makes it illegal to touch or shoot at a flying saucer. Karl is actually right. He often is.

@@HerohammerStudios Well, we Americans did figure out that being ruled by a bunch of warmongering, imperial despots (whose claim to rulership is based solely on inbreeding and not getting assassinated by the next heir in line) wasn't exactly an ideal form of government about a century and a half before Europeans did.

It's amazing how much he's actually correct about. Even tomatoes' being poisonous, people have only been eating them since 1590 in the UK.

[@NunyaNuni]

Yeah, that's the thing. He often gets this info from somewhere but either he mixes it up in his head, forgets half of it, or adds his own details. Plus he's terrible at critically analysing information he reads or hears about, so he'll spout off any story as if it's biblical truth Makes for great entertainment though eh. :D

[@Rbajaj1986]

I've been listening to these in original xfm show format and podcast since about 2006 and it just struck me how much more raw and hilarious the xfm was because it was live on air (with pressure to fill every second of airtime and without being able to cut and edit) and Karl was relatively new to Ricky and Steve... The genuine fear and anger now and then in Ricky's voice when Karl touches on a touchy subject or says something completely crazy makes me burst every time 😂

Karl is 100% right about the tomato bit. Galen discussed this in his medical texts and is credited with proving tomatoes were not poisonous. Also, anyone with an iron skillet knows not to put tomatoes in them because it will leach the iron from it. Same with lead (and this is a theory of Beethoven’s melancholia, lead poisoning, from his lead goblet which he had acidic wine in).

[@BennyFlaps]

well, not 100% the plates would have been pewter, lead would be a little soft to make reliable dishware out of. The details do matter here, because eating anything off a lead plate would cause the same poisoning, the acid from tomatoes was able to dissolve small amounts of lead from the pewter where otherwise it would have remained alloyed.

[@adamt101316]

I used to get frustrated in the same way (at this specific example as well) but I've learned to remind myself of one of Ricky's main points: If it comes from Karl's mouth, even if it's true, it comes out gobbledygook, and that's why they rib him 😅 But that's also why we love him!
